AD really is the MVP of this Laker team now. Before it was debatable between him and Bron (i never thought so but meh) but its clear as day now this team will only go as far as he will take them.

JJ is a huge improvement over Ham but I would be surprised if this Lakers team wins more than 48 games. The roster just isn't very talented.

I wonder if anything good has ever happened when AD has brought the ball up

IG2 wrote:Changing how the game's called from AS break onward last season is the best thing the league has ever done. Watching Lakers-Suns right now and there's so much contact being let go. Hand checking on the on-ball guy every possession, guys can't really cut across the lane without being checked/held and it's haaardd af to get free throws. League hasn't allowed this much contact in the regular season in decades.


Watch the Nets tomorrow, if you're not a flavor or the week choice team you don't get the league defensive boost.

I like that JJ is giving minutes to Max...Because it's either sink or swim.

Watching the Paolo highlights, I'm obviously NOT saying he's at the level but only that the WAY Paolo is starting to incorporate the passing & how he's processing the game is starting to look a bit more like LeBron. It's gonna be funny to look back at how shocked people were/some hated on that ORL took him 1st overall.

Yeah but if he sinks they'll trade him. He's better than this.

Gabe has been an absolute Disappointment on offense. His defense is always there but good god he cant hit anything. Yet another dude Miami hustled us on.

While I was complaining about that 3rd quarter in the Indy/Magic game, this tweet popped up and now I'm seriously wondering what the NBA is doing:

I'm old af. I remember this guy being a really good player at Indiana State (like first team All-MVC level). Just looked it up, he won MVC player of the year in 2000. I knew he was familiar.
