The Lakers have looked really good with LeBron in the game (+16) and horrendous without him (-13 in 4 minutes).

It's great that Lakers signed Howard to rebound all those LeBron flat fadeaway bricks.

I hate these reviews for flagrant fouls. In case of this just play on and decide if it really is during the next timeout... Nobody wants to watch this pointless confirmation of softness for a 5 minutes.

so far none of AD's added upper body strength has an effect. defenders just shove him out of the way when he goes up and I guess that's only a foul if you push a guard

Upper body strength has very minimal benefit in basketball after certain point which almost all of these players have. Issue is guys like Davis have sticks for legs and thus get pushed around regardless of their biceps...

Lebron's new quick one dribble free-throw routine looks good so far this preseason.

I've been calling out Anthony Davis. His offense since last year has been straight up dooky. Before he had "recovering from injury". That excuse ain't flying anymore. If he's the guy taking over once LBJ leaves, good luck.
