Should be interesting tonight with LeBron out, and the Lakers acutely conscious of their embarrassing collapse against the Thunder just a few days ago.

Will AD step up tonight and play like a true top 15 player? I doubt it.

DJs legs are so cooked. We really need to strike gold in the buy out market at some point this season.

He is so far.

It looks like Westbrook is so used to going after rebounds, all through his career, he is having trouble staying with his man on the perimeter and denying good looks.

I swear Bazley only shows up against us.

It's the dreaded RR-RW combo.

Yeah I got my foot in my mouth right now. Hopefully he keeps up his intensity throughout the game.

Liked that lineup to close the quarter... Defense looked decent and the offense was plenty... Interesting Westbrook wasn't in, and the defense looked decent... Hmm...

Looks like someone showed him this post.... :lol:

Will it continue over the games Bron misses however is the question. Will he get hurt is another question. How many times will he fall down after shooting is yet another question.

Seriously, he's looked as good as I've seen him in a while.

Monk still hasn’t found his place on this team. He doesn’t seem to contribute much of anything at this point.

Dwight is such a presence inside the paint on defense. Major upgrade over AD in that department.

Well, we got a lead

We have no cutters. AD has 3 guys on him...smh

I would not go that far--he had a couple of nice assists--but Monk needs to hustle more, move without the ball, go after the ball. Anticipate that first step. He also needs to be more aggressive going to the rim.

Oh no! Now Anthony Davis is holding his hand in pain.

AD hurt again

Another Laker letdown against the Thunder and another injury to AD lol :nonono:

How can little Shai injure you. C’mon man!

Ball so hard · Post #20 » by **Ball so hard** » Fri Nov 5, 2021 3:38 am

I’d be totally on board with shipping this outta here at this point. He’s either always hurt, mentally checked out, or playing soft.
