    Pretty good minutes allocation. But I would give LaRavia 20 minutes rather than 14, and everyone has already forgotten about Adou Thiero!!!

    I only stream games. I have never owned a DVR, and pretty much anything I watch is on Netflix, Disney+, or Amazon Prime.

    As Abeer so courageously pointed out, LeBron is declining. JJ has been working on how to tell him he is starting the year as the sixth man for the good of the team. He has also been working on converting our weak passive defense into an aggressive attacking style that makes teams not want to play the Lakers. This is going to be easier with the addition of Smart and Vando coming in looking like Curry from long range. Part of winning a championship is intimidation. Showtime Lakers and Kobe/Shaq Lakers were feared. We need teams to say "Oh sh@# we play the Lakers tonight" instead of "Yes, we play the Lakers tonight!!!"

    love thiero's potential; just don't see how he can be ready for nba level ball right out of the box.

    lol i did NOT say lebron should come off the bench, though!

    i did say he should play lots of backup center minutes...which is probably equally unappetizing to him.

    So VanVleet tore his ACl. That is a huge loss for the Rockets, he's the table-setter for a team that already had a clunk halfcourt offense. There's a ton on Reed Sheppard's shoulders now.

    Please basketball gods, have them sign Westbrook. Westbrook back with KD on another huge/clunky team like those old OKC teams would be poetic.
