In person observations from Lakers Game 

Post#1 » by davey_wavy » Wed Dec 28, 2022 1:44 pm

Nothing important, just wanted to share for the sake of it.

Sat 2 rows up last night (thank you Heineken USA).

- Paolo is a lot bigger than you think, ESPECIALLY when he rocks the Afro. There was a moment where he and Lebron were side by side (backs to me) and Paolo was just bigger man. He’s obviously taller, but it felt more intense seeing him outsize lebron. I fully believe that afro has him nearing 7ft

- JI grew, he is 100% 7ft but will never admit it

- Franz is very focal in the huddles during timeouts

- Fultz midrange is Washington Quality, and his 3pt shot looks like the hitch is gone. Diff form than the middy, but way smoother and looks normal. If you didn’t know Fultzs history you would think his 3pt shot was fine.

- Mosely seems soft spoken until you hear him during time outs. Buddy uses that Fbomb and I respect him more for saying how it was. He got on Paolo at one point

- Cole made fun of BOL all night, and Bamba kept calling him Freakazoid which means BOL is liked

- Guy next to me spilled his beer all over his wife and she called him a clumsy FK.

- Oh, and Lebrons bald spot is soooo much more apparent up close

Wish we got the W. On to the next

I saw a clip where Lebron was yelling at our bench during a timeout. Any idea what that was about?

I will never not enjoy that the Magic robbed the world from a Kobe / Lebron final.

Good to see someone enjoyed that game last night! Lol. Good bullet point stuff. Lebrons receding hairline is obvious on tv. Glad to hear it’s worse in person. Dude is gonna be Clyde Drexler in a year. Probably doesn’t shave the dome because of his obsession with surpassing Michael Jordan at everything.
You look confused...let me fill you in.

I keep saying i'ma go to a game this year but i can't get over how bad traffic has become. I'm 72 miles away but somehow it takes over 2 hours and back when Dwight was in town it only took an hour.

Nothing like sitting down low to really get a feel for players' relative size, bulk, and demeanor. I alway come up with some new observation about who's actually really big or imposing or has terrible body language or appears to be a leader on the bench or among his teammates. Good stuff!

I posted about in the game thread.

Apparently he was upset over something Bamba said.

The Twitter feed I shared has some thoughts / rumors on it.
