    A looooooot of crying about the refs today from Rockets fans and NBA fans in general. Apparently the game was rigged and Silver wants us in the Finals. That means other teams are legit scared now, which means we’re back, it’s almost nice to see. Lakers good = league rigged, super funny.

    The T on Eason was weak TBH but OTOH I thought handchecking was banned - the amount of hacking they got away on the Laker ballhandlers was bonkers

    Feels so good to be out of the play-in tournament and to be able to rest our guys for over a week.

    That’s crazy, we’re finally “back”, as in not in the play-in, an actual outside contender even if not the favorites.

    …. and let JJ scheme his a** off for our first opponent and hopefully add some of the new wrinkles to the offense “maybe” that he’s been holding off on using until the playoffs. Speaking of that I think I saw something new tonight? Maybe I wasn’t aware of the whole play but it started with LeBron firing a chest pass down to DFS or Rui in the right corner from around top of the key and then he ran down and set a pick for him. That didn’t look familiar at all to me but could be full of crap. :p

    Our situation gives us opportunities to have meaningful practices on top of well needed rest for our squad.

    Amazing

    How many times have we talked about bringing someone to make a big three?

    When we had him all along

    Go Lakers!

    Out there pondering that I didn't know where I should put it....


    Lets put the cart before the horse here and say the Lakers win it all do you thhink they give AD/Max a ring? I'm not even sure that's what they do in NBA. They do it in MLB.

    OK, I'll play. IF (a big IF) that happens, yes. We did it for Cousins if I'm correct.

    I really would have to imagine that they would especially for AD. Then I'd wonder how he'd feel about it considering they got bounced and we (in this scenario) won it all.

    Forgot all about DLO (Luka effect? AR balling effect?). I wonder if he would want it if they did offer him one.

    Rings aren't mandatory so it's pretty much just a cosmetic award. Don't see why not. personally I think they should only be given to players on the playoffs roster.

    Lakers are all class though so all those mentioned and wondered about above would get them.
