if thats his cieling youre pretty much saying thats the best he could he, i disagree, pierce thing wasnt far fetched when the season started, hes hit the "wall"
Battier wasn't a bad player so how could that be a negative and why does it bother you? Maybe Tatum could reach Pierce levels but who knows? Do you?

Battier was a defensive role player, thats what your pegging him as as best case scenario.....tatum is a better scorer than battier, probably wont be as good defensively since he wont be a specialist like battier was
I know that Tatum is the better player on offense since he has that mindset. If he plateaus career wise, I don't think it's that bad of a comparison.
That doom was delicious. It's great to see Boston fans squirm...just 2 weeks ago it was looking very likely they'd have a top 3 or top 5 pick at the very least...now? They'll have to hope that all the other teams behind us stop tanking and that we crash and burn again (suffer another long losing streak) I doubt any of that will happen now.
OMG just discovered there were 2nds on this C bag meal. As always so hard to choose what's more hilarious .... your skillful finding and editing of their painful comments or your hilarious responses to so many of them. All hail the Queen of Doom ..... Cookie! It would be nice if Smart or Rozier had any kind of a pulse tonight Just wait. Smart will have your pulse racing as he chucks up a shot at the end. Why aren't we good anymore? What has changed? I can't figure it out Perhaps someone could break down this shattering of swagger in a chart of sorts. Your swagger met the end of the flat earth and fell off. A Baynes corner three has to be the worst possible shot in the league. It’s the basketball gods punishment for the man bun. (Yeah and screw Vikings) Marcus Morris doesn't even consider passing unless he absolutely has to. Dude would probably be happiest as a 1st option in China or something. There’s a team in Lithuania, where he would fit right in. Randle is abusing Al...badly... Such a waste of an All Star slot. I guess Tatum is hitting that wall pretty hard. I think Tatum got the rookie wall pregnant. End of game thread. We have a winner. IF we lose this game, what are the odds there's a players-only meeting after the game, to blame it all on Kevin Love? I’d say pretty high. Kyrie learned from the best. :JuliusPumped 1:
i dont, having something positive to say bout 1 non laker vs me having to be mr. positive n all things rainbow/sunshine all the time bout this team doesnt correlate
There may be a tiny little gap between being negative about everything Lakers related 99% of the time and being mr. positive n all things rainbow/sunshine all the time . I can tell, I literally am all things rainbow all the time myself As long as that flopping, self-obsessed cyborg isn't a Laker that is
