    Yep solid pun, if not totally accurate.

    Giddey has played for the national team, thus he’s a Boomer, but he’s not an Olympian. He was the last player cut, which annoyed me greatly.

    has any other NBA player over the last decade been trashed as much by fans as Westbrook?

    I just checked, this is Ricky Rubio's 11th season. Obviously, the Gasol brothers have had long careers. But other than them and Jose Calderon, have any other Spanish players played as long as Rubio?

    The Warriors are 7-1, best record in the NBA. Also have the best defense in the NBA. To think there were people on here who doubted that Steve Kerr was a top tier coach when his roster was decimated with injuries.

    Reminds me of Brandon Roy. He kept forcing his way to play through pain and knee injuries, until he had to retire in his mid 20's.

    The difference is the Blazers were projected to be a between a playoff and playin team and the Lakers were anointed by the media and national analysts to be title contending west favorites.

    No one in here knows that Dame's abdominal issue is what is causing this slump... so your opinions on him definitely needing rest are baseless.

    But everyone here said the experts were wrong and the Lakers were old and overrated.
