Our defense is officially elite.

The league should be scared to death.

Watch and learn how propaganda is done people, old man done it since radio was invented. All you have to do is ask right questions like - " how them numbers fair vs top 5 team " trust me you won't get straight answer.

Sorry for being party pooper since I have high demands for this season. Just can't get exited about beating up a sub500 team that lost 5 in a row. They made the likes of Baites Diop make history the game before. Dude shot perfect from the floor and went vs LBJ doing it.

I look forward to when Harris and Mills are coming off the bench while harden stays on and they go nuclear from three vs an opposing bench.

The Harden-KD-Kyrie trio was already god mode. you make harris/mills bench players and LMA who decided to never miss a shot again and it will be historic

Yus!!!!

I *think* Nic and Bruce have found a way to play with one another and not get in reach other's way, over the past 5 or so games that they played together. With that in mind, yes, I would have this rotation:

Irving, Harden, Brown, Durant, Claxton
Mills, Bembry, Harris, Griffin, Aldridge

id swap brown and bembry and 1 of the big 3 will stay on with unit 2 but thats splitting hairs

Only thing awful here is your posting. Hard to read through that garbage when you keep regurgitating the same **** points in your typical hyperbolic fashion, with the inability to move from your stubborn position. One of the things that annoy me the most are entitled sports fans who think they know better. You're the epitome of that.

i dont know better... the majority of people who watch or are involved in basketball know better. its one thing to make unpopular coaching decisions. its another to consistently botch 3rd grade level decisions.

i would need to regurgitate if the imbecile didnt make the same awful mistakes every game.

Nash had this team up and prepared to play after a long lay off for multiple players. I'm not sure why he's getting bashed here in a game where we were clearly better on both ends of the floor.

Harden and Mills were out there with sometimes 3 to 4 non shooters and we were dogging the Lakers. Gotta credit the man.

Because he nearly cost us the game with his horrific coaching. his talent bailed him out, like it does most nights.

this was one of if not the worst coached game of the year.

The lakers were out there with 0 shooters for alot of the game. we had the edge in spacing all game and we they had the handicap of 4-20 westbrick who basically threw the game for them

Nash didn't coach a flawless game but we have to credit him when he does well.

its the most basic play. double pick an roll shooter to the wing big to the hoop. i guess props to nash but in reality an elite top 5 player made a perfect pass to claxton who made a superhuman play over lebron.

giving props to nash given how the talent was clearly the factor seems a bit off base

Bottom line here is that Nash coaching this team to best record in EC. No trash coach ( as you portrait him to be ) does that period. He also top 5 coach in winning % at 670+, that's facts, deal with it.

I also seen tweet where Harden was undercut and didn't get flagrant foul vs Craptors. Mills got one on almost same play. When you build a reputation as a foul baiter refs will hesitate, it's just this play was right in front of the ref. Also media and refs were trying to gift wrap Fakers a win, that simple. Nic got fouled consistently and didn't receive s***. I'm glad he dunked on LBJ and Bing Bong crew was silent, Breen squeezed some hype but went quite very quick

You can't just not give Nash any credit when we win and blame him for everything when we lose.

I'm not a fan of his coaching at all but he got the guys up for a huge marquee match up on Christmas night, on the road with half our roster missing following a long lay off. This team continues to find ways to win in the face of adversity. I'll cut him in on the credit as well.

Darren Collison committed two back to back flagrant fouls on Harden by undercutting him on 3 pointers and they called it a common foul. This stuff is ridiculous

credit and blame for me are independant of the result. ill blame nash when its warranted and credit when warrented. the issue is in both wins and losses he often has a horrible coaching performance, misuses timeouts, misuses challenges, is late to or doesnt adjust and puts our players at a disadvantage strategically. we often win inspite of him. in fact, we usually win in spite of him.

he "got the guys up" to me is also like... i mean, its national TV on christmas. how do you not get up for that? playing lebron in LA? especially for guys like harden who have had to sit out. i mean all 4 guys everyone was up for it. its why you usually get so many special pefromances on christmas day.

Ill give credit for nash as a manager, manager of egos, and flexiblity with shuffling lineups. once the ball is tipped, he is as bad as it gets though.

This was a great win. People here are sometimes ridiculous.

We lost our entire team to COVID. Still don't have half it back.

And we withstood LeBron going for 40 and won. One of the better wins of the season.

The lakers are an average team. The lakers without Anthony Davis are a flat out BAD team. Lebron is great. he is still a top 10 all-nba player. he is not the GOAT/GOD mode lebron of even 2 years ago. he slowed a bit. similar to the drop off from last years harden to this years harden and the new rules have effected him too. He cant carry a team by himself anymore to being good.

Westbrook drags lebron down, drastically. if westbrook has the ball, the lakers offense is awful. if lebron has the ball, the lakers offense is limited by russ being a non threat off ball and a non shooter. on top of that, they have little shooting around lebron. To get shootung, they need to put carmello on the floor making their slow defense even slower. to get athletic, they need to add more non shooters like dwight and horton tucker.

AD helps alleviate shooting and defensive issues. without him they are basically a wizards/pacers/knicks level team

I get KD/Kyrie/Harris are out but Harden is still playing all-star level and was all-nba level on christmas day. Mills is better then any non-lebron member of the lakers. Claxton/Blake/Bembry/Johnson/Brown are better then the role guys LA throws out there.

We had the more talented team, and unlike LA we have pieces that fit.

its really lebron, a bunch of guys who dont shoot, an old carmello, and the leagues biggest liability in westbrick

I don't care if the Lakers are an average team.

LeBron is still one of the best players in the world. When he goes for 40 they are tough to beat.

We basically had 6 healthy guys. All of whom just had COVID. We should not have won that game.

not only should we have won it, but we should have won it by 10+

Lebron scoring 40 doesnt make them any tougher to beat. he honestly needs 35+ just so they done get blown out. they still need to get 70 points from the rest of the team. thats a tough task since without AD they have no shooting, no scoring and a ton of inefficient chuckers.
