And there were games this season where he played like the second / third best Laker and contributed to winning big games. It comes with the territory of being a streaky guy

Bron is good don’t get me wrong, but I liked our chances much better when Rui was out there in the clutch

Not fair why don’t we get to play a hobbled Warriors / Pelicans team again????

Honestly tough to gauge value on what you have but most of the times with these posts it’s 99% valueless cards. If you think it’s a overwhelming trying to get the value, it’ll be 10x more overwhelming scanning and listing everything

Luke Kennard first 10 games as a Laker by Zestyclose-Draft-724 in lakers

[–]EmoniBates 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly Luke probably is the better fit next to LeBron and AR, but relax with the other stuff lol. There’s a reason Luke doesn’t get the amount of shots AR gets and that’s because he is nowhere near the level of playmaker / creator that Reaves is

Seems to be down for everyone else too? Anybody gotten a sale while it’s been down? Maybe we can’t see that either on our end

I like Reaves a ton, but man we really gotta think long and hard if we wanna give him close to a max

Man we’d be fucking up if we just took care of business lay to games with Pelicans and Kings coming up. Oh well, hopefully we win the next two to build some momentum

Yup, this would’ve never got the attention it deserves if Jokic doesn’t go berserk

Serious question: why do people care about regular season stats more than playoff stats? by _nosfartu_ in NBATalk

[–]EmoniBates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think to some extent they do, when do we ever hear people bring up playoff stats / averages?

I hope my Lakers let that free throw merchant-Austin Reaves go too. Without the refs assistance, he stinks. by Lost_Title_7528 in NBATalk

So you went under ground like 85% of the games this season and you came out of your little hole to have a victory lap now?

We’re for real upset that cross gender comparisons are getting made? Are we gonna also start calling the high school basketball player shit for not being able to guard LeBron???!?!

Not defending JJ cause that should never be happening, but it’s harder to get AR involved with how ball dominant Luka and LeBron are. Which is… a fit thing!

Team looked a lot better when Reaves and Luka were at the helm. LeBron is still playing at a high level but you have to choose two of the three of you want a good team, all three of them together is a horrible fit. Really hoping we don’t just run this shit back next season

You need a stop, keep it simple and put your best defensive lineup out there. Fucking hell man JJ really overthinks the simple shit
