NBA Season - now 24/25

@act-crusader maybe they thought the job was done after winning the bubble championship? LBJ seemed pretty happy with the team at the start of the season, so I can only assume the team was constructed with his input and or blessing. But it is so flawed; they sent the only spark guy away in Caruso and a good young player in Kuzma who had shown he can score before LBJ arrived and brought in a bunch of older guys. There is little option but to blow it up and start again
-
astounding to hear the Lakers home crowd booing, and it was off an LBJ turnover as well
Westbrick is the easy target. he's new. Big contract, and yes not playing well. Pea hearted Day to Davis never fucking plays, and when he does he's shit. LBJ is, as someone has already pointed out, basically playing for himself, and doing it poorly. Yep, getting his 30-odd a game, but turning it over a heap, and playing one way. The rest of the roster is old past it guys, or dudes who aren't good enough. The Lakers are done.
And the general consensus among Lakers fans seems to be, LBJ is gone (don't fucking do it Cleveland) and they seem to say good riddance. They got their championship out of it, time to move on. Because without serious trades in the offseason next year isn't going to be any better.
They are really lucky that the bottom of the West is pretty weak, or they would seriously be looking at an 11th place finish.

@mariner4life I would consider getting rid of AD. He is too fragile and too passive to build a team around
-
Ja Morant may not be Al Iverson (yet)
But he's really fucking good at the basketballs. Today he detonated the Spurs for 50Including this evil dunk
-
@mariner4life they were two very sick plays

He's just lucky to have been on the end of 2 amazing passes from Adams, half the work was done for him...

Adams is the real MVP
That full court pass he did off a rebound a couple of games ago was sweet too. Richard Jefferson was talking it up and said “they don’t even play pro football in the country he’s from” 😉
The van Gundy brothers love Adams and even find ways to talk about him when he’s not even in the game they are commentating!

They don't play "pro football" on any other continent, Richard 'I Sound Like A Cartoon Middle-Aged White Guy' Jefferson
Adams the newest point 5??

The Nets lose again and are sliding to the play-in
The Celtics are going the other way on teh back of an8-2 run, while Miami firms at the top on the back of 9-1. The East will be a bloodbath in the post seasonLakers lose at home again
The top of the West isn't moving much because every team has gone 8-2 off the last 10
Every team that is, except the Warriors. Still smashed by injuries they are really battling, and the 3 seed is beckoning. -
@mariner4life Lakers blew that game against the Mavs. During their good run LBJ and Russ showed exactly how they could play together and take a game over. Then the jitters and pressure set in for the final 2-3 minutes and they couldn’t hit the side of a barn.
Agree the East is going to be crazy fun, which is a big change from recent years when the first rounds are generally a foregone conclusion.
The West’s 9-12 positions are going to be a mad finish. The Pelicans are actually worth watching now since they got CJ.
-
Are the Clippers due to get George and Kawhi back for the playoffs. Because given how the rest of the squad are playing at the moment, they could do some damage
-
@mariner4life it’s only the Lakers 😀
Reggie Jackson on fire and add in the other very good pieces (Covington, Morris, Zubak, Mann, Hartenstein) plus PG and Leonard, they have depth
@voodoo a Luka playing with purpose and focus is something to behold. The acquisition of Dimwiddie I think has really helped his game.

They've gone all in on Luca-ball and the floor spacing (plus Dimwiddie's runing of the second unit) seems to be working. I don't think we have enough pieces to win this year, but could be a bad team to face in the playoffs. I'm interested in whether we can add some new pieces moving forward.

Stevie Adams had a big game today showing nice touch around the basket. Went for 23pts / 12reb / 5ast / 1st / 3blk - but the Grizzlies lost to the Rockets!
Morant really couldn’t get going.
Watch the condensed version of the Nets and Celtics game. KD showing some touch after being out for a while. Tatum on fire though. Celts are tough. They could probably get to number 2 in the East by season end.
