I don't feel like dredging up the old thread calling out "the players the new rules are effecting the most" 5-6 games into the season, so I'll just leave this here. The players getting the bulls-eyes pinned on them primarily for their early season struggles were Lillard, Luka, Harden and Trae. Here are these four players numbers in the past 2 weeks of games (6 games each):

Lillard: 26/4/7 on 47/43/94 (5.5 FTA, Career Average 6.1). Blazers 5-1

Luka: 27/9/9 on 45/39/69 (6.0 FTA, Career Average 7.5). Mavs 5-1 (lost all 3 games he missed in this stretch)

Harden: 26/7/10 on 44/33/91 (11.2 FTA, Career Average 8.7). Nets 5-1

Trae: 27/4/9 on 47/45/93 (6.7 FTA, Career Average 7.3 FTA). Hawks 5-1

Turns out the killers are going nowhere, and the hot takes were likely just that.

I think 75% of the board figured these great players would adjust. The other 25% thrive in the hope of others failures.

If the point was to criticize guys using stats for 5-6 games wouldn't using another 6 game two week sample size be playing the same game as those posters?

I thought the point was to say they adjusted,

Voget started Westbrook, AB, THT, LBJ, DJ. Does he actually want to get fired? :lol:

This lineup has poor shooting for the 90's standards. Not like they play defense either.

Wow, Lakers trailing big early. Hopefully LeBron can keep it together and doesn't start punching people.

Lebron is 1/5. He might have to punch himself.

I really think some teams are unwatchable during the regular season. Mostly contenders who refuse to get out of third gear until the last 10 mins of the game. These young scrappy teams are fun though.

Yeah, he should be more like the noble Chris Paul and spit on the player he gets frustrated with.

I hope you dont mean the Lakers by that lol. No way in hell they are contenders. Closer to the lottery by a wide margin.

The Lakers aren’t good.

Im never gonna forget the fact that we gave up everything for Russel Westbrook. Never...

Dubious Handles · Post #16 » by **Dubious Handles** » Thu Nov 25, 2021 12:44 am

Lakers need to have a firesale midseason and acquire bad contracts for draft compensation. Only way to salvage their future is to keep Westbrook as a tank commander, trade AD and LBJ and all these useless vets.

Everything? We gave up KCP and Kuzma who are absolute trash and Montrezl who the Lakers were refusing to play anyway. Westbrook has been a nightmare but we didn't exactly give up anything of value to get him.

I'd take all of them back in a nano second

I think every non-Laker fan had a grin from ear to ear when they heard the Lakers had made that trade, lol.
