    Anyone else had trouble falling asleep last night? I only got 4 hours of sleep. I guess the adrenaline was still pumping and I got too hyped after the victory. Especially since it was against the Lakers.

    If you were having trouble sleeping, you could have worked on the next game thread. Wait too long and some lawn mowing aficionado might think he needs to make one.

    Just sayin'.... :cheers:

    Please, you can't even jump across a 4 inch wide creek.
    Now you think you're going to get rebounds?
    Please.
    You'd more likely be like al-charmin soft horford and flinch at a rebound.

    Ok. In one game Collins had nearly 6% of the number of blocks Leonard has in 7 years.

    Better sample size? :)

    Oh, I know.

    In fact, I did actually finish the next game thread late last night, but wanted to let us all relish in this victory against our archnemsis a tad bit longer.

    But I will post the next game thread shortly.

    :cheers:

    90% of rebounds are all about positioning son.

    My Hot Take:
    LBJ was telling his teammates that he's not going to just take over in the 4th quarter of every game. He'll do that in the playoffs.

    This is one of the reasons why I declined your invite to watch the game from the truck.

    I said it as soon as I heard LeBron was going to the Lakers - Lonzo Ball is a terrible fit. Add in Rajon Rondo and Ball becomes totally useless. They have done a horrible job of surrounding LeBron with complimentary players and Ball is the worst fit of the bunch:

    Ball isn't really a good fit anywhere. He really isn't that good. Why all the hype? Who really cares if he fits or not? Just don't see the point in bringing their 9th player off the bench into conversation?

    If Lonzo was anywhere but in a big market, he would be the nothing that he really is. Big market hype and Daddio have kept him in the news way more than his play has warranted.

    I knew before I clicked that either there was a really good looking guy in the pic and that @HCP was delusional. OR it was just a regular looking guy....and hcp was delusional.

    I love the Laker fans who try to say that Lonzo needs to be included in any trade for Lillard. Talk about delusion.
