You can't convince me the Lakers are doing **** with a Reaves/Russell backcourt

A huge LOL at anyone who picked them to make it to the Finals this year. And a decent amount of garbage reporters did. :lol:

Really need the Lakers to get Prince back out there, he killed it for my Fanball team (freshly off the wire too)

Talk **** about Marcus sure, run JB through the mud ok. But watch your mouth about tacos!

What and where was the best taco you ever had?

A random taco stand in the not so nice streets of Cancun. I was there for annual meetings at an old job and while it was always all-inclusive I never took advantage of it in prior years. That year I ate a ridiculous amount of food for pre-dinner, dinner, and can’t forget post-dinner with an executive who was bulking up for body building. He was Mormon so didn’t drink but not a very strict Mormon so encouraged me to drink a lot that night. We wondered off the resort and ended up ordering tacos from some food cart and they were amazing. I don’t remember anything else after for that night which is a shame because the next night I tried to find the tacos again sober with no luck.

For me it's Taqueria Pico de Gallo in Tucson. Their shrimp taco is one of the best things I've ever tasted.

The Nugs aren’t even playing that great they’re just solid. The Lakers also aren’t playing that terrible they’re just overrated lol.

Lakers make a fake run.

Nuggets immediately respond with a run of their own.

The Lakers are a fake contender.

This will only get worse as the season progresses.

Hard to believe AD has not scored the entire 2nd half.

The latest version of the Invisible Man.

Channelling his inner Derrick White.

He should do 2022 Derrick White with the backhead hightop.

Maaaaan I can’t believe I actually fell for this today.

Nuggets bench is a small question mark for me, but hey.. same here. The Lakers will never not be talked about but hopefully soon we’ll see some realism on where that team is and how far LeBron can take them still.

The Laker backcourt of D'Lo and AR15 is so weak defensively.

Lakers not getting banner 18 any time soon.

This could be the start of another "Dark Ages" for the Lakers.

The Cs were just not ready back in 2022.

But that was a good learning experience for the Jays.

If the Cs win multiple titles in the next 9 years, you'll almost forget that 2022 finals.

Booker dominated that game down the stretch

Still doesn't change the fact that the Suns need a true PG.

Booker is fine playing PG on a temporary basis, but Book at PG all the time is not maximizing the Suns' potential.

A team hasn't needed a "true PG" to win in this league in years. They've got multiple playmakers.

Maybe not really a true PG literally, but asking a legit star player SG in Booker to play PG is making him play out of position.

Book can do more if he plays his natural position.
