Trez straight glued to the bench. Doc would've played him every second of that 4th and overtime.

Let's see how Nick Wright & Shannon Sharpe twist this to protect Bron's MVP campaign...

Can the changes result in getting back players who put fire under peoples asses instead of a fat spaniard a undersized C and a no 3 and no **** D shooting guard?

Wizards have won 5 in a row. Something I never thought I’d say this season.

Stop. If Lebron is out they'd struggle as hard or worse. AD though is super valuable to the team, plus Shroeder, they're gonna struggle.

Lebron with no AD - 10th seed
Lebron with AD - contenders.

Hmmm, so who is the real MVP?

the challenge call was wron he never touched lopez. Lopez flopped to the ground you cant call that if he was closer to him then fine but he was good couple feet away. Shouldnt had came down to that so 100000 deserve this loss. We suck. 2020 was great year for us in retrospect. The sky isnt falling but it starting to look like that

I don’t even mean roster changes, just something. Lineup changes, stop playing Wes matthews, maybe play Harrell just for a few minutes in the 4th or OT when he’s having a great game. And even for roster changes, there’s gotta be 1 decent 3pt shooter out there

Just a game in february though.


Remove Westbrook from their team...how good are they?

Lakers losing AD is even worse.


Dude legit **** this team i can believe i stayed up for this ****. We suck everyone on this team is playing like a G-leaguer. I'd **** cut Matthews and bring in Lin for **** sake.

We ain't good.

Point still stands though. When a team is relying on the oldest player in the league and a big man who has been injured all season, they are in trouble.

Last year's team was better. Wes Matthews and Morris are two of the worst players in the league. Gasol is beyond washed. Pelinka needs to make moves fast

Lakers don't have any real Killers from 3, Bron ain't KD in that sense.

Yep he fares best with shooters around him. The role players made some clutch 3s to get back, but too inconsistent. I don't think they have a dedicated 3 sniper. It's by-committee which is one way to go about it, but this way they're 26th in attempts and 20th in efficiency.
