Lakers VS Slippers Discussion

Loved how genuinely FAT Beard looked on the bench and that was no prop.



And loved beating Westbrick with all his balled up hate and mean mugging towards the Lakers blaming us for his crappy results here , AS IF he never was allowed to “be Russ” over the course of a season and a half with two different coaches bending over backwards trying to find ways for him to be “that” guy.

 

i do wonder how much of the clippers treating every matchup with the lakers as their finals is because of orders from ballmer and their FO

 

^^^ LOL I just lurked on Game Time for most of it as for once I wasn't watching time shift. But when I actively comment on my phone typing I miss too much usually. What do you guys do .... use voice input? Anyway .... I saw some comments about how Ballz was acting on the sidelines (incredulous at his antics) but had missed those shots. LOL what was he doing? And I hope the cameras caught his body language with the loss at the end! I remember in the Bubble after his super Duo and stacked roster with all the money spent got eliminated, and he was on the bench just kind of glowering unhappily toward Snake and Pandemic P.

 

There was a moment late where Brick scored a lucky (it was all wobbly from his hands) corner 3 and postured against Wood, with air pistols and saluting.

Goddamn clown. He and Haren desrve each other. Hope that forever stay in their looser misery.

 

i watch on my computer, so... GameTime s***-posting comes easy.

 

What could possibly go wrong.


Also it's funny that system maintenance is the same time every post-season.

 

lol, one of the reasons i softened a bit on harden was that he changed his game to try to fit better in the team concept, and now he's like...nah.

how is that going to work with westbrook? i'm not even trying to be a jerk about it; i'm genuinely curious.

 

"cuz they worked so well together in HOU.. o_O

 

i mean, i sorta understood how russ might fit better there than here (more shooters, no superior distributors on the roster), but harden AND russ AND their two high usage wings seems sort of impossible to optimize other than my turn your turn stuff. will russ serve as the ball screener for harden? how long until he revolts? but i guess it's a love fest over there. weren't they all playing in high school in la around the same time? pretty wild. bet they didn't dream they'd team up on the jv, though.

 

Told Slick …. seems like trouble might be brewing if this tool’s “system” overrides Russ’s current happiness god love him …. finally allowed to be Russ again. For 4M vs 35M fat *** is making and will want at least to stick around. Popcorn time to see how it plays out. Screw em both.

 

Kawhii and PG are good individuals defenders but i don't think you can play all 4 at the same time. The off ball defense would be shambles of both Brick and Beard are out there togetherness

Paul George said he, Russ, Harden and Kawhi all know they can play around each other. “What better story to be told than four southern Cal guys doing what’s never been done before and be champions (with the Clippers).”

Uh huh that sounds surprisingly familiar but even more complicated with 4 ball dominant players instead of 3 …. and one common fly in the ointment. Hey Russ for the greater good here how bout you heading up our bench unit?

Ty Lue probably.

 

Russ at power forward will work like Ham putting Beverly as a small forward

 

Those two guys have already played together twice, been to the Finals together. Again their issues in Houston, were NOT on the court. The Hyena and the Jackal, are serious players if healthy. Harden can still ball, I think you might be surprised, that the egos involved, won't be as big of a problem, as some seem determined to make it. These guys aren't in their 20's anymore, this could be all 4's, last best shot at a chip.

Injury probability though? Now that's a different story..Lol..Russ will probably play more games than the other 3, Mann too.if those clowns are healthy in the postseason..the Flippers are going to be a problem LT.

 

I see a lot of problems with their lineup, but what is most surprising to me is that Kawhi (when healthy) and PG are without a doubt their two best players. If that's the case, shouldn't they surround those two with players who will complement them best, instead of taking the ball away from them and dominating it for most of the time?

Haren could perhaps play off-ball, but clearly has no intention of doing so. Russ not only doesn't want to, but absolutely can't do it, and needs to have the ball in his hands to be even semi-effective.

Seriously, how could this combination of "stars" work even in theory? And don't even get me started on their defense lol.

 

I don't want to be a PF - Paul George
I'm a 2, not a 3. - Kawhi
Westbrook - I need the ball in my hands
Haren - I am a system

Lue -

 

Exactly. What kind of a personality shows up to a team with HOF ers on it and one of the favorites this season if healthy (LOL well they were) …. and states what he did? Have fun Ty.

BTW did he clarify or was there follow up on what he meant by that statement? It was hard to hear in the situation I was in at the time.

 

Well we’ll see. Like I said POPCORN time.
