Good to see the competitive spirit awaken.

He always had that the difference is he hasn't played with another all-star since LMA left. Despite that he dragged a pretty damn meh roster all things considered to the WCF.

Could be remembering it differently but I thought CJ was a massive reason why they got past the Nuggets. Some of the game he was the guy.

Who's the Lakers facilitator?

Nurkic absolutely destroying the Lakers on the boards.

Come on Ham, this has been a recurring theme now for 8 months

We're getting out hustled.

Barring trades/injuries, there are four teams this season: the champs and three teams that made big trades in the summer in attempt to catch the champs. For the other 26 teams (barring trades), it's about enjoying journey.

CJ had some good games there, but he was huge in the OKC series and even in the Denver series he wasn't bad just more roughly his average. I also think he was facing tougher D against Denver which was sending their best guys at Lillard. CJ had a lot more room to operate and utilize his offense.

But like every single playoff run it takes more than just one man, even MJ didn't do it all himself. **** in that pivotal 4th OT game Rodney Hood was huge in that 4rd OT hitting like 3 or 4 shots in a row.

Yeah, what a pass to the other team, Reggie!

DLo is a bum. No way he finishes the season as a Laker.

LeBron looks exhausted already.

I like this Watanbe kid on the Suns. He's a gamer

How soon does Darvin Ham abandon the plan the limit LeBron's minutes?

Liam_Gallagher · Post #493 » by **Liam_Gallagher** » Fri Oct 27, 2023 2:40 am

My god these rotations by Ham are awful. LBJ, AD and Reaves all on the bench?

That triple overtime game was crazy af. Everyone was tired and had no legs left. Then here comes Hood off the bench with the freshest legs lol

LAL looks unmoored on both ends of the floor, like they don’t have an identity or any heft to them. They have too deep of a roster to look this mid.

KD had a full bald spot in his head last season. Now he magically has hair in that spot now.

Must be hair particles to help blend in the baldness. If not that was one hell of a recovery!

Challenge - Not start every game down by more than 10 points

Impossible

Wolfgang630 · Post #498 » by **Wolfgang630** » Fri Oct 27, 2023 2:42 am

Good first quarter by the Suns. Just keep out hustling the Lakers and you’ll win.

Reddish is an absolute bum. No idea what he did to convince Ham to give him minutes

levon · Post #500 » by **levon** » Fri Oct 27, 2023 2:43 am

It's written in the franchise charter that we have to shoot historically low percentages to start every season. LeBron retiring during this timeout

Who wins?
