I'm still waiting for a deeper assessment. Until you can't come up with one you're nothing but a hater troll. Sure we lost the game against the Raptors but that doesn't right away mean that this team won't be making the playoffs. We're 4-6 right now and there's still 72 games to go. And FYI Raptors for the last 5 seasons ended up being number 1 team in the East 4 times and still can't make it in the NBA Finals. The point is, with or without Kawhi, the Raptors is a tough team so losing a game to them isn't a big issue.

Deeper assessment? LMAO

you do not have enough talent to make the playoffs in the west , not sure what you're not understanding? you got smoked by a Toronto team missing it's best player at home you, weren't even in that game. Take the Homer glasses off you are not making the playoffs in the West .

And still, you're only making that assessment based on one game against a team without Kawhi but never the less still the team that made it to the ECF last season. As what I pointed out, it's still 10 games, we're 4-6, if we're having a 0-6 start I won't argue with you. Right now we are tied with the TWolves at 11 and 12. Jazz and Pels at 9 and 10 with 4 - 5 and the Thunder at 8 with 4 - 4. See, we aren't that far right now in that playoffs race especially if you see that it's Kings and Clips sitting at 6 and 7. Nuggets and Blazers at 2 and 3 and we are able to beat those teams.

I don't know what you mean by not enough talent but we have LBJ right now (I'm not a fan but you can't deny the fact that he's a 4 time MVP). Rondo is here as well (he's a champion). McGee is probably playing the best basketball of his career right now. Lance is doing great. Chandler coming will address our biggest weakness which is the center position (it's a bonus that he's a champ as well). What I'm pointing out here is that we now have vets to guide the young core. I'll give them at least 20 games before I set a jury if they aren't making the playoffs. See if they could gel and could develop chemistry.

Can't believe this troll is still in this thread saying a team won't make the playoffs "cause it's not enough talent"... I told this troll even the teams ahead of them now and not by a far stretch ,have flaws.

The playoff battle will only be between the seeds 3-8. I'm slightly giving Houston the 2 spot only because of their standing from last season and even they're struggling and you can bet they will have periods where their play is choppy.

Seeds 3-8 can see anyone in those spots. Bottom line this troll doesn't have a basketball brain, he's just here spewing nonsense and can't even give a credible reason why they won't make the playoffs.

When the Lakers start playing better ball he'll be the roach that scatters when the lights come on.

On my last two posts I tried to give him an example of what an assessment is and he still came back with the same reasoning: Not making the playoffs because of not enough talent only because we lost to the Raptoprs without Kawhi. So lame.

The said the day LeBron James went to the Lakers they were not making the playoffs with the way the roster is currently constructed... and I'm very confident with that assessment.
