I only see the Lakers flopping if LeBron gets hurt again.

20-14 before LeBron got hurt last year.

His health is the wildcard

I think Lebron's age is catching up to him.He is still a top 10 player but he isnt the guy who could dominate everyone anymore.
After he came back from injury and activated "playoff" mode he was getting blocked by Hezonja and the Lakers kept losing

What is flopping for that team? I think they are a playoff team that wont be good enough to get into the conference finals.

I don't understand why this narrative exists. I've seen people continually cite the Lakers record before Lebron got hurt last season and act like he never came back. The Lakers were STILL over .500 the game he returned at 26-25.

Yeah but he was all they had last year. Put me in the camp that AD will be a 'monster'

I put $10 on AD winning MVP. +700. You know I'm serious when I put 1 Five Guys burger on the line.

I'm more shocked that Embiid is under 7ft.

Some of these are throwing me just when comparing players- would not have guessed Ben is taller than Al, but definitely wouldn't have guessed he was taller than Jonah Bolden.

I don't believe Embiid isn't 7 foot. Dude is a giant.

skones · Post #235 » by **skones** » Sun Oct 6, 2019 10:28 pm

We realize that that measurement for Embiid puts him at 7'1 with traditional measurements right?

There are probably like 10 guys who've actually measured 7'0+ without shoes at the pre-draft combine over the last decade.

Boston looks awful. They have to make a move, their frontcourt is a joke

I don’t know how they didn’t manage to get Favors. Would have been perfect for them. They still have a bunch of assets to fix things.
