Flowers for the Old Man for this entire series. He performed better than I thought he would with AR missing and Luka out.
I feel like Jax, due to his better speed, will get more burn this series. However, I don’t think he’s defensively smart enough to handle what OKC...
Regarding the last part, THIS is why I thought it was important to give young Adou as many reps this year as possible. I’m just tired of the...
I agree with this point to a certain degree. However, elite defense is played as a team. We saw throughout this season how horrible this team was...
So you are saying that you expected Kennard and Smart to explode in scoring? You also knew that KD was going to miss most of the series? You also...
Bring him back for three years, third being a team option.
Maybe next season he will emerge out of JJ’s doghouse…
I don’t feel sorry for the Buss Kids at all. Born into a family in which their Pops was one of the few who literally SAVED the NBA from going...
Was it though? If Austin doesn’t come back, Kennard and Marcus don’t score out of their minds in the first two, and KD is able to play and catches...
Nah
Lakers in 7.
No
Great job on the boards and even better job shutting down Mr Dirty Elbows. We will need this kind of effort, with added scoring, to beat OKC.
The whipping boy killed it again! So happy for you, Rui. Too bad he’s not Hakeem on defense nor Rodman on the boards.
Absolutely loved what he did this series. Need scoring for a few games? He delivered. Need the defense ratcheted up? No problem- he always delivers.
So, lemme guess, since he ONLY shot 50% from the field, but didn’t score 20, he was trash again.
Lakers in 7
They puckered up and started settling for threes and long twos. I think out of all those shots, Banchero maybe drove to the basket twice. Other...
And he could make the All Star team and you would still say he’s trash and not worthy of a new contract. Wash, rinse, repeat. So fun.
I’m perfectly fine with building a properly balanced team around Luka and AR. I’m willing to bet that so is the Laker FO.
