Fight on the Lakers bench!!
D Howard physically went after A Davis. Other players had to separate them. What a spicy year this will be in LA.

Re: Fight on the Lakers bench!!
Good graciousScotty Barns rookie for Raptors, 25 points 13 rebounds in a win over the Celtics. I said after the draft like many did that it looked like Toronto was thinking Barns could be the next Greek Freak. Same body type, long and athletic.
I'm not worried about wishing we would have taken Jalen Green over Cade, but we may regret not paying more attention to Barns in the draft. He wasn't even in the top 5 Weaver had mentioned.
This kid could be a star.

That's why scouts make the money I guess, I thought he looked like crap in college aside from a few raw skill sets. Now he looks like a damn veteran two way utility wing.
We needed that go to scoring option though that Cade showed in college so hopefully he delivers.

Re: Fight on the Lakers bench!!
What's crazy is, this is game TWO in the regular season. Not before all-star break or them clawing their way to a play-in tourny game or anything like that
There was also moment when Lebron literally didn't play while out there after getting a nice chasedown block. He stood on the opposite side of the court while watching from afar his teammates play 5 on 4. Bizarre

Re: Fight on the Lakers bench!!
I was wondering if Howard was going to be upset about not getting on that top 75 list and if it was going to cause any chemistry issues. AD one of the least deserving players on the list and Dwight one of the bigger snubs.
Wizards are 2-0 without Beal, with KCP, Kuzma, and Harrell, and Dinwiddie all looking like good rotation players for them. Wizards made some huge strides in dumping Westbrook.

Addition by subtraction on the last part. Westbrook has been washed ever since he got to Houston. It's astounding LeBron wanted him over someone like Buddy Heild who would fit better. Hell, the KCP Kuzma Harrell package might be better overall than this iteration of Westbrook.

That's definitely what some people here were saying, yes.

I don't wish any ill will on anyone or any team, but I'm not going to lie and say that I don't chuckle when I see a team of ring-chasers eating itself.

Re: Fight on the Lakers bench!!
I'm personally not shy about actively rooting against a team/specific player. There are quite a few players/teams on that list for me.
In Lebron's first 2 years in the league, I had a couple less than desirable personal interactions with him, so ever since then I have been anti-Lebron. I'll never hope for injury or be happy if injury does occur, but admittedly I can't help but crack a smile when his teams lose or find themselves in situations like last night.
