    Yeah we had tremendous luck over the years with how high we picked and how well we picked except for Lonzo over Tatum.

    Did you see him hit that right hand skyhook during warmups from on the sideline left corner and get all excited about it big smiles and run across the court and leap over some chairs like a young kid? I sure appreciate the talent and the player he is and he’s not forcing any undue amount of LeBron ball on the offense. Just an amazing finisher with his touch at the rim even at speed. :)

    Seemed oddly engaged on defense?

    Engaged Lebron is still a ridiculously good team and off ball defender. He's just too old to seem to want to bring it unless it's one of the big games but not this one? Will be interesting to see if this about sending a message to FO

    He's still much better than a 38-year old has any right to be. If we make the playoffs and he's healthy, I don't think there's many teams he's really afraid of. No one can shut him down, still.

    38 is working for him.

    It's pathetic what he had to do to get a f***ing whistle tonight.

    LeBron is a f*ckin monster, but that stat is also due to the fact that nobody plays defense these days. See what the Snake is doing in Brooklyn for example?
    Otherwise, the important thing is that we are getting closer to the playoffs and waiting for the recovery of Anthony Davis.


    Greetings from Bulgaria ! :)

    It's really very impressive. He's averaging around 35ppg lately, shooting close to 60%. He needs to continue to carry the team until AD comes back if we want to make the playoffs this year.

    yeah, he's boiling my blood a bit with this latest one.

    you're damn right they're doing what's best for the franchise by not caving to your whining.

    It is what it is , management is bad but the key of a Lakers season is to have Bron and AD playing 85% of the games together and at their best level .

    It has not happened since the title and we have mainly been struggling because of that .

    The 2019-2020 roster was on a whole another level defensively but I mean the 3rd best player was probably KCP.

    It's not like there is a trade out there which could get us a Wiggins type of player either

    It's amazing how I am going to hate him more after he's done being a Laker. Most players I hated, after they joined, I at least toleratated and, once done, didn't hate them more afterwards.

    Some, like Ron or Rick, became favorites.

    Him? I am hating him more every day that passes. He is a garbage leader.

    109 - Heat
    115 - Hornets
