Destroyed what? Not the rim, not Lebron who landed gently on his feet.

Well either way, Nike will be confiscating that footage.

LeBron is finally getting old. Now more than ever he needs solid role players that fit.

They can still fix this if they want. Kings have to keep loosing and not going anywhere. Heild plus Barnes for Westbrook works well.

Move fox for future picks and then hand the keys to Westbrook for the remainder of the year. If he goes back to being the old russ then the kings have a small chance of making the playoffs and if not then they loose badly and get a top 5 pick. Build around Westbrook for 2 years till his contract expires and you are good.

Neither Heild nor Barnes is going to win you anything and the Lakers instead get a shooter in Heild and 3+d in barnes. Some young legs to mesh with the older guys.

Wait till Ad comes back and then try again as a lower seed playoff team.

Now more than ever LeBron needs dead eye shooting and great defence around him.

Ironically this is the best time for Lebron to go back to the Cavs.

Ha this lakers team stinks. Called it before the year , way too old and cant handle the grind of a 82 game season. Zero chemistry. Likey another first round exit

Notice the announcer in that clip doesn't even offhandedly mention the dunk was over LeBron? I got a good chortle out of it.

And SF is the Cavs' weakest position. Interesting.

6th seed is within reach for the Raptors. They just gotta string some wins together. A 4/5 Game winning streak would go a long way right now

We're 4 games out of 2nd place with 53 games to go. Honestly the only two teams that scare me right now are Brooklyn and Milwaukee. As crazy as it seems, I don't think 6th seed is the ceiling of the team this season. I did out the outset of the season, but that was before Scottie's emergence. With the parity in the conference and COVID added in for good measure, I can see a path to this team shocking everyone and winning a first round series. If things break right. If they break wrong, I could also see us missing the playoffs.

I'll also put Chicago on the list along with Milwaukee and Brooklyn as the only teams that truly scare me in a playoff series.

Cleveland and Miami are two teams two me that are overachieving. Especially Cleveland. I think they've gotten very lucky so far this year.

I'm not so sure about cleveland. They seem to have solid guys at every spot, love and rubio are coming off the bench (think about what great seasons they had in minny plus minus wise), and mobley/jaffro are good/great defensive bigs leading a top defence. Given all that it would be surprising they weren't pretty good.

NBA should be embarrassed with the product they're forcing teams to play, last night's game against Cleveland being the perfect example where were missing our top 6 players because of COVID. Advertising dollars are obviously more important than safety these days I guess.

Bruno wasn't picked one spot before Jokic though, it isn't as painful as this one.

Could be worse though

Lakers are a mess. THT is the most overrated prospect I’ve ever seen. Cant believe they thought he was too valuable for an elite floor general like Lowry

That mistake was Potentially the difference between Banner 18 and whatever the hell they are now

I think they also passed on Demar in the offseason. They ended up with Westbrook. Incompetents I guess

Terrible management (mostly by Lebron cause he runs the show for the most part)

Celtics shoot 4 for 42 (9.5%) from behind the ark in a home loss to the Kawhi-less and George-less Clippers.
