    Joe Mazzula should be fired. That’s gotta be the worst coaching effort I’ve ever seen.

    So we can really win this championship if we beat OKC. Boston is out.

    Why are we even playing if we don’t think we can win? We can beat OKC we can win this championship.

    The Reason I like the Lakers is because LeBron Ayton the way they play inside outside post play Reaves they can win in the playoffs. That’s playoff basketball.

    They don’t rely on 3’s Smart. They have a deep team.

    I’ve always liked this roster Hachimura.

    LeBron looks different out there and there’s nobody on OKC that can guard him.


    the Lakers are a very balanced team. I thought Houston was the best perimeter defensive team in the NBA with the 3-D with Thompson Eason and Durant and Tate just size length even Sheppard and Smith.


    and the way the Lakers ran through them was eye opening. OKC has Dort and Williams. But Williams has a sore hamstring and the Lakers will go at him. Holmgren is good. But Ayton can put his body on him.

    we ain't beating OKC or SA without Luka and even with Luka the Lakers would rightly be dogs. But the sad part is I think Smart missed those OKC games - the defense is night and day when the Lakers had a healthy Lebron and Smart so not having a fair shot blows

    There’s four teams up there that haven’t won in my lifetime… and I still don’t believe these teams in my lifetime will win a championship. That’s Portland, New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks and the Kings. Imma be a dead man before they win… I’m gonna be dead and gone the next time they win a championship.” -

    That would blow my mind. However, I got a better one. Lakers vs Cavs in the Finals. Discuss....

    Hey OX … when I had an office job for many years I used to thoroughly love listening to the Jim Rome radio show. But there was some radio host down your neck of the woods that he would frequently mock with a sports take and then say his signature call out …. rather than “discuss” whatever he would say in clowning mode, it was “React to me!”…. the guy’s signature schtick …. Lee “Hacksaw” Hamilton. Behind the mic “savvy” as you are …. any thoughts on that guy?

    Yeah I loved his show he was brilliant I thought. Travis Rogers, T-Rog, his right hand man has a nice media career now … forgetting where for sure but I think Dodgers(?). Most people that didn’t understand him or the show trashed him after the Jim Everett incident, that he later owned and said he took too far. But that Everett kind of knew what he was going to get coming in. Now knowing OX and his black & white no middle ground on most things :clap: may hate him. But yeah I was a Clone. Where the …. “errrr’s” in the middle of restating things for hopefully funny effect come from. And no am not Brad in Corona, never called the show. Funny to find you “too” though! :rock: :rock:
