He is out for personal reasons I would guess like the tweet surmises, I don't think he is on the trade block. From what I heard he is going through something serious with his family health wise, some sort of treatment that is life threatening that he is going along for which could be that persons last so he wants to be there in case it is. My boy actually knows but that is as far as he is willing to tell me. I feel for the guy, I know if someone close to me was going through something that difficult I would be missing work to be by their side to if it meant that each treatment could be their last.

That was actually good defense by Robinson

It's weird when you're a bad defender, even when you contest well, the other guy often scores lol

[IceColdCubano]

This lakers team is so bad, I really hope we blow them out of the water by a very large margin anything less and were equally as pitiful as them.

[eddieheatfan]

first quarter is history, gotta maintain the lead in the sec quarter.

Being a bad defender also has physical implications or worded as limitations based on what they can do. So even with a good contest, you don't posses athletics, length, strength, speed, body control or scary demeaner to even affect the shot at a micro level. Therefore the other players mental focus is at 100% and will convert most of the time as they have zero fear you can do anything to affect their shot.

Its also why sometimes Herro can do everything right, move his feet, get into the right position, jump as high as possible, time the jump accordingly, cover the shooters direct vision to the basket, the offensive players tend to score on him often and with extra motivation, he just doesn't scare anybody as well as lack the physical tools to do so.

Cmon that was all ball

[MettaWorldPanda]

Duncan is so dumb

[IceColdCubano]

Roh Oh, Lakers making this a game....

[IceColdCubano]

But never fear, the other team has a real dumb Patrick Beverly to help them lose the game.

[IceColdCubano]

Damn, Russel westbrook dribbles by our defenders like they were standing still and he is playing at hyper speed...My gawdddd were slow footed.

[eddieheatfan]

game got too close for my comfort but its still early in the game, herro is off for some reason which is bad for the heat
