    I know nothing about him. Is he better than Ibaka / is Ibaka playing / any good this year?

    Duly noted. We all f****** are. The gift that keeps on giving. Doesn’t mean it can be ignored. Talk to Embiid about it this year.

    At least we’ve moved past the LED walls and cardboard cutouts in place of fans in the stands. Excellent.

    I love this forum and moderators. They take all my incessant whining and complaining. Also, the negativity and trolling.

    But I ask you sincerely, moderators: can we please issue a polite "knock it off" for the COVID talk, please?

    This website is a reprieve for me. It's an escape. I don't want to come to the LBJ thread and have to deal with this topic where it results and takes up pages and pages of the LBJ thread.

    Thank you.

    Wino is frustrated. He vented. Give him a break. The rest including LeBron and fans in the stands and Embiid is on topic

    Fair enough.

    When is LBJ coming back?

    Let’s all please cut out the Covid talk. Lebron is coming back and it’s no longer relevant.

    I agree. Not relevant to the topic anymore.

    Respectfully, not only is COVID a part of our lives, it is also part of the NBA and specifically our Lakers. IMO, I don't think fans should be discouraged from discussing this topic, because it is indeed relevant.

    Certainly as it relates to availability for our team and opponents. But not beyond that as it spirals off team topic.

    I definitely wanted Hartenstein over DAJ
    Not that he's good or anything but DAJ is bad

    I know that ... so as long as the "someone else" is vaccinated , it matters less .

    I'm just saying we'll have to accept the virus keeps spreading and stops the quarantine thing at one point

    I get that you’re frustrated and venting here, but LB needs to be a refuge from Covid opinion talk like LBD said above. Discussions can’t devolve from how LeBron and the Lakers will deal with Covid protocols into how Covid protocols are a good/bad idea.

    If we keep our opinions on Covid’s handling out of LB, the forum stays focused on basketball…. as much as it can be nowadays anyway, and a much needed refuge from these frustrating discussions.

    No disrespect to any Members here, but I honestly couldn't care less about your opinion on Covid, Vaccines or Mask Mandates, etc.
    There are plenty of other social media platforms to vent your frustrations. That stuff only creates drama & division.
    If y'all have info on how NBA Covid Protocols affects our Team or the availability of our Players, I'm all ears.

    Thanks for the loss. You had a game off and was garbage in this one.

    If he sits, we win.

    You don't have a court and gym on your property? What about the other LA houses you have? Nothing there either?

    You will not get any pity when you come in tonight and play like s***.

    I agree. Getting 8 tests done in a week is insane. Not as insane as not showing up to the Clipps game (a game I assure you is circled on both team's calendars) with PLENTY of rest.
