But here he is… airballing threes in the nba conference finals.


People always trash talk Lakers players as if they don’t belong in the league until they play for another team. Then wondering why we’re the Lakers dumb enough to get rid of them?


Lakers fans also have a long history of propping up every role player that's had a semi decent game. Today's hero, Thomas Bryant l, once had a dedicated thread on the general board about how the Lakers won the offseason because they acquired his services. A few weeks later, he was no longer with the team.

These things go both ways. The backlash to disproportionately overrating players is that other people will start bashing these same players as a response.

Malone or Budenholzer?

Both awful. Just get a new coach with a young brain and fresh eyes. Would be better than any of those 3

Shamet and Wright should have been on the rotation earlier.


Shame is another ballhandler and the reason the Knicks have so many turnovers is precisely outside of Brunson is difficult for the other guys to put the ball on the floor

My favorite part is Mathurin apologists scream about his production per minute.

They ignore that when he sucks, he doesn't get minutes. When he plays well, he gets a lot of minutes. Which warps his production per minute, but you can't talk to those people.
