    There were 3 guys for the Lakers that shot horribly. I don't see that happening two games in a row.
    Wes 0-11
    Beverly 1-7
    Nunn 0-7

    That is a combined 1-25 yet they were still in the game. And they have 2 nights off to think about it.
    I wish we were not playing them next. Overall the Lakers are not very good, but on Sunday I expect them to win. Hate playing teams who are desperate.

    Not when he breaks down again. Not if, but when.

    Some people are just out of touch with reality.

    We have a few running around here making similarly outlandish statements like this. Lol.

    No one is even THINKING about closing out on him. Not even an inkling of a thought. Not even one primordial idea.

    Id take it a step further and say everyone wants to be within the paint when he shoots. Enticing him to keep bricking air balls.

    I mean AirBNB’s don't get as much air time!!!!

    Was in [edit: it] Vanterpool who was yelling at our guys to back off and let Russ shoot threes in the OKC series, or one of the other assistants? Whoever it was, he permanently broke RW.

    I think Nurk broke him when he wore that Westbrick t-shirt to the playoff game.

    I'd be willing to bet Russ brushed that off much easier than an opposing coach saying to not guard him.

    It is super early but the Pels have looked incredible in that short amount of time.

    1 week free league pass trial.
    If you’re a basketball fan $99 is an absolute steal for what you get.

    Last time I bought LP it was like $119 or something…

    Nets are overrated.

    Not that they are bad, but they aren’t dominant.

    Talented enough that you have to take them
    seriously, but I wonder if they are legit enough to win the East.

    A Classic “looks great on paper” roster.
