End of Lakers is imminent. You cannot win without playing a Center.

The JustBuzzin's of the world really thought a two man team (one guy 40, one guy fat) was going to be enough to win it all. :lol:

Lakers were genuinely better off with AD for this year/ run. LA's defense is completely swiss cheese and AD would still give you 30-40pts while providing DPOY d. Again the future is locked up though.

Not sustainable.

I'm shocked it's worked thus far, beyond unsustainable

Lakers need more referee help. This is completely unacceptable.
