Because Whiteside is the type of player who is lazy as hell but will 'try' for small stretches during the season just enough that he will always have job collecting paychecks.

He does the just enough, every so often, so that teams keep calling.

The Lakes should be embarrassed to be up by only 2 after 3 quarters against this POR team. If they actually played like they cared, they'd be up by 20.

Steph's playing off-ball more than he has in any of the games since Draymond's been out, and it's not a pretty look for this offense.

Globetrotters vs. Washington Generals. Pathetic.

Blevins heating up from deep!

I only posted that so some day his grandkids may find it using the wayback machine.

warriors are just not a good offense, their winning and pretty style of play has kind of obscured that fact

Lakers getting pwned by two guys named Watford and Blevins.

Just outright embarassing. There's no blaming Westbrook for this one.

Blevins would be a 4th stringer if there was 4 strings.

Lakers with more timeouts than points in this quarter.

I rarely watch games on espn. What’s up with Doris Burke calling the warriors game all by herself? It sounds ridiculous. Oh wait is it two doris’s? What is going on? Whatever it is it sounds awful.

This game has been a real treat for someone with a taste for Lakers schadenfreude. *chef's kiss* I smelled blood in the water in the first quarter and decided to pass on Sabonis' first game in favor of seeing a bunch of people I've never heard of maybe Beat LA. So far so good.

(Until that overturned call! Booo!)

Bench killed the Dubs in this one. Going to be tough to come back from 14 in the 4th with the squad they're running tonight. Never know though.

This is really embarrassing for the Lakers. They have no Russ to blame this time and they're losing to whatever is left of the Blazers.
