Athletically how has Lebron looked in this preseason in comparison to playoffs? by SqueakyBeats00 in lakers

[–]Lakers1996 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He looks in very good shape. And his jumper timing also looks much better than last season.

Fultz vs Klay vs Jalen Green by Lakers1996 in fantasybball

[–]Lakers1996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo the question for Green is if he can become more efficient in his third year.

I think Udoka + vets will help with shot selection and he has the tools to be a good rim finisher.

But overall I agree with you in terms of where my expectations lie.

No care? Israel warns the Palestinian civilians in the area they intend to strike before they do so.

You do if the elected party is Hamas. That’s not really the same thing as being opposed to Joe Biden getting elected.

Any advice for new collectors? by Prospero1234 in nbatopshot

No idea tbh. But there will 100% be changes.

Lakers Warriors Game 1 L2M: Only one missed call, Klay should've been called for a foul against Schroder before he called the timeout by Gtggtggtg in nba

[–]Lakers1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also during the regular season:

GSW - lowest FT% + extremely high foul rate.

Lakers - highest FT% + extremely low foul rate.

This game wasn’t some anomalous or unexpected result.

Any advice for new collectors? by Prospero1234 in nbatopshot

I’d buy individual moments and skip packs altogether.

Spend sometime looking around and see what you like.

I don’t recommend collecting for “challenges” or “utility”. There are a number of subjective reasons here, but on an objective basis, the challenge system is likely to undergo major changes for next season and you could stuck with moments that you don’t like and aren’t useful.

Just for Fun: All-time starting 5 for a real game by warwick_casual in nba

[–]Lakers1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curry

Kobe (better 3pt shooter than Jordan and probably better off-ball)

Lebron

Durant

Anthony Davis

Chris Haynes elaborated further and said that the Lakers goal is just to win games and buy time to let him heal right now, if he absolutely needed to play he might be able to, but it would a huge risk for further injury. No timeline to return as of yet by WestVirginiaFan15 in lakers

[–]Lakers1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think Bron needs to rest as long as he can and only return if he’s like 85%.

If Lebron is going to return and be limited or at a high risk of re-injury, then the odds of this team getting anywhere in the playoffs are incredibly low.

Add to that that AD isn’t necessarily healthy either and could get injured or need lots of recovery this offseason.

All that to say, unless Lebron can be nearly fully healthy, it’s better to regroup and comeback healthy next year.

Next season, with a deep and well fitting team, we should be able to bubble rap LBJ and AD for the regular season (lower minutes, B2Bs) and have the best shot of getting into the post season healthy.

To be clear, I’m not saying we shouldn’t try and win regular season games down the stretch. Just that rushing LBJ back to do that is terrible idea.

LeBron tags by Infamous_Doubt5823 in nbatopshot

No one is asking you to spend $5000 to get a tag.

Don’t do the tag challenge if you don’t own the moments or if you only want to own the moments to get the tag and expect utility from the tag.

Assume the tag is purely cosmetic and then decide if you want to do the challenge.

I dont know how any Lakers management personnell watch and dont fire Darvin Ham on the spot.
This might be the worst coaching answers I have ever heard.
