    my eye test has said for two years what the numbers are now supporting (exaggerating, probably). he's just lost enough steps and regular season motivation that he's not always a net positive.

    but i do think the numbers are probably doing some of the things they've done to AD in prior years--he's suffering from a coach using him in lineups where he's the lone guy propping it up, and his advanced stats look bad as a result. we're not actually better without him.

    now the numbers did NOT lie about westbrook. we were better with him just...not.

    And his plus minus after the break is back to being good. He was legit bad for a stretch which is unusual for him but he been really good since.

    Is he the same player he once was no but over the last 5 games you would ask who the best player in either the Lakers or the team they played it would probably be James

    true. prior to the week off, he was actively bad, and he has been largely good since.

    I actually couldn’t care less regarding plus/minus on a team that is incomplete.
    That being said, up until recently, LeBron’s poor defense has been a real issue. For me, most of that is the not getting back while the opponent is breaking because it’s the one thing that solely is based on effort.

    Dalton seemed unusually unsure of himself while answering that, seemed odd to me

    GOAT of the NBA? Yes. Kareem is still my GOAT for basketball (including high school and college). If Lebron gets 2 more rings then he gets unqualified GOAT from me.

    Mustard fell off the hotdog, so I think this means he misses DLO
