    They should’ve never changed the Staples center name it will always be Staples Center to us. To everyone.

    Look at that 2nd clip from floor level. Sleek mean machine going to be on a mission starting his second and most important part of his NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers.

    It's not analytics' fault, it's the people interpreting the analytical or choosing which stats to prioritize or rank. Things like not getting back in transition, rotating on defence, or boxing out, are indeed negative things. But if those things cause you to trade Luka, that just means you're bad at priorizitng what is important and missing the forest for the trees. It's improper use of analytics, or just plain bad analytics. I feel like analytics in general has been getting a bad rap because of these bad analytics interpretations, but to me that's like saying that scouting is bad, due to some bad scouts. There's good scouting and bad scouting, and there's good analytics and bad analytics.

    That's pretty harsh that she has to bring that up

    Like you said, it's a game after all

    Looks like Luka is starting to embrace being a Laker.

    Listening to Buha's pod: he said Luka has two lockers (like Bron), technically it's the next locker over from Bron's but the showers are between them. AD did not have the two locker treatment. Also Kief is on the other side of Bron. (I think Kief can bring some value as a non playing bench/ locker room voice... we've been without that for a minute)

    Again, good lord man. I’m not sure even Lakers fans would have done this has Kobe been traded.

    So much easier now too to fan the flames and hate with social media and anonymity.

    Yeah, I suppose there’s always some crazies out there, I guess because of Twitter now we see it more than we used to. It’s still insane to me, it’s a game, I know it sucks for them, but come on.

    Yeah death threats is taking it too far they have every right to protest, boo, have fire Nico chants, etc. Threatening the guy’s life though is definitely taking things too far.

    Cannot wait to see him play for us, like I said earlier in the thread, closest to Kobe on offense I have ever seen
