Let's add to the Lakers misery.

The Lakers are pathetic, ran poorly, and have absolutely no leadership within their front office, or on the court.

That's because Lebron and Rich Paul are scheming how to get Klutch clients on board and get paid the most. Paul earns commissions out of the contracts which he also splits with Lebron. That's why there is no progress. Lebron and Rich Paul tried pulling the same shenanigans in Miami only to realize RIley runs that town. That's why he scooted back to Cleveland where he can have a say in the front office. Otherwise, Lebron and Wade could have gotten more rings if they stayed on.

Lebron is pouting in LA now because Pelinka didn't trade Westrbook for John Wall during the TDL. Westbrook is an expiring contract soon and holds more value. Rich Paul knows that Wall probably won't get another type of contract like that unless he plays in a big market like LA. So these two knuckleheads didn't get their way and Lebron is sounding off about thinking of going back to Cleveland. It's a messy situation when you have a player who thinks he's also Warren Buffet.

I think this is also why Cuban is staying away from Rich Paul clients. No owner wants to deal with something like that. Paul asks his players to not play when they haven't sorted things out. See Ben Simmons in Philly and John Wall in Houston. So that type of backhanded move is what Cuban is staying away from. Especially from a young team with Luka. You mess with team chemistry.

Our beloved Mavs are a 5.5pt favorite.

The previous meeting was Dec 15, 2021, DAL 104 - LAL 107 (OT).

Pelinka is a great GM... but agreed with the rest of that.

In shape Luka is a bad man. Did not see that dunk coming.

This 3rd quarter start is pathetic. That lead got slashed way too fast.

It didn’t have to go that fast. Kidd should have called the timeout way sooner.

Maverick41 · Post #13 » by **Maverick41** » Wed Mar 2, 2022 4:44 am

Yeah probably. I think Kidd's trying to do the old "let them figure it out so that come playoff time..." coaching tactic.

Brunson is playing the way to exit in the 3rd quarter. Everyone is sleeping without much off ball movement. No one can hit an open shot. LAC controls the tempo and storm back.

God this quarter is so frustrating.

What a bad quarter...

Luka better wake up. Is it me or since that great performance in his 2nd season, he's often subpar against the Lakers? Could be his 2nd game in a row with more TOs than assists.

Him, Bertans and Bullock are the only 3 not delivering so far. Bertans is so streaky.

Luka is still smitten when he sees Lebron. Will probably ask for another autograph later.

Maverick41 · Post #18 » by **Maverick41** » Wed Mar 2, 2022 5:15 am

Luka needs to put his stamp on this game when he comes back in. He's been looking to pass darn near every possession.

Embarrassing second half

Somehow I feel like he's going for the YouTube highlight play more often than not. He lives for the bright lights and LA has those. Unfortunately his performance tonight is not up to par.
