    The “Metta World Peace” move
    At least having Freedom on your Jersey won’t look bad when you get in a fight.

    Chances Stewart goes after LeBron since people won’t be holding him back

    Quite sure Bron reached out. Quite sure this kid has had a TON of people in his ear letting him know for the benefit of his future in the league and his career, he needs to handle this the right way. Laying out the leagues golden boy isn’t going to help him at all. Now, in 10 years at a party in Vegas, sure, but not now.

    First, you could have made your point without blowing it up to the size of Shawn Kemp's butt.
    Second, who plays more against opposing starters? Who gets more minutes against scrubs?

    It means Russ isn’t that good and he is worse with Melo on the court.
    Matter of fact it means Melo is bad enough to cancel out the good part of Russ’s game.
    Layman’s terms….

    it doesnt, but melo comes off the bench with russ. They share more minutes than russ Nd AD. And melo affects russ’s numbers.

    The stat HCP quotes shows that the Lakers are out-scored with AD on the court and out-score the opposition with Westbrick on the court. Isn't that the opposite of what you are saying, or am I confused? :dunno:

    I guess I needed green font on that. Was playing around with him as he was being obtuse again.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Nah, they're not going to do that--but they do seem similar to me to their first championship team with Curry in 2014-15. Like that team, I could see this one winning 65-67 games.

    But the Suns are going stride for stride with them so far. The home and home that those two teams are going to play Sunday and Wednesday will be really interesting.
