Yes though thinking about it I don't know if this is possible because Lebron is basically the PG alot of the time. Just a bad fit and LeGM is responsible. [Reply]
Literally all you have to do to make a LeBron team decent is add shooting (because he can take anybody individually off the dribble or in the post and force defenses to collapse and help) and the Lakers still somehow haven’t ever managed to do that in his entire tenure there. Even the team that won the championship lacked it. Just bizarre the direction they’ve gone here with Westbrook and the rest of the scrubs. [Reply]

Kidd's J was hilarious, though. That push shot went in enough to make it interesting (as he got older), but it was always a bit odd. [Reply]
:-) That's kind of what happens when LeGM and Klutch put pressure on the FO to add a bum like Westbrick at the expense of every somewhat valuable asset you have left in the organization. [Reply]

Even if you don't believe that Lebron is secretly in charge, to think he doesn't co-sign stuff like this is just retarded. KCC isn't that dumb, he just plays stupid so he can have his narrative. [Reply]
Held to a superstar standard? Wut? Mostly people are just laughing at him for how badly he's fucked the Lakers over. No one expects him or them to do anything this season. [Reply]

Ja Morant with an absolutely ridiculous performance tonight. 49 points. Stepped up big after the Grizz went down 16 and couldn’t buy a bucket. It’s so fun watching him play. [Reply]
Man, I like so much what Gobert allows the Wolves to do and his performance tonight was just about perfect. Until he had two free throws with the game in the balance and he wasn't mentally tough enough to hit either one. One game doesn't matter, but damn, get your shit together on the line, Rudy. [Reply]
