Like I said when KCC and Lebron were busy quitting - once they got rid of Westbrook and Beverly, this was a fun team that was suddenly pretty easy to root for.
Glad they believed it as well and didn't fold up their tents like SOME folks expected them to. [Reply]
If Vegas doesn't have the Lakers no worse than the 4th most likely team to win the championship tomorrow, they're doing it wrong.
It's a good team and when Davis is out there challenging shots em route to 7 blocks like that, they are just a damn tough out. Rui and Reaves hitting from deep and both guys CAN do that routinely and Reaves adds that bizarro Iverson stuff in the lane. Russell playing smart and tough. James being James. Schroeder to step in when D-Lo is lost (and it'll happen), Vanderbilt to do thankless off ball stuff. Bambo to absorb a few fouls/minutes. Beasley to...shit I dunno. I don't get anyones fascination with that guy. Not a fan.
But it's a good team and again - it just wasn't hard to see what it could be even when James got hurt.
You just had to pull your head out of LBJs crotch long enough to notice. [Reply]
