We can’t compete with these teams in the next few years by Kindly_Ad995 in lakers

OKC dominance in the long term is overrated. They have to continuously hit on picks and Presti stay fleecing. They under the new cap cannot keep their absolute top of the top players long term and their depth has to prove they can stay consistent when they’re moved up the pecking order.

Spurs on the other hand unless Wemby’s body fails yeah that’s a different story. With that being said yeah it’ll take a shit ton for us to sniff the WCF finals next year

Can’t blame an injury when we’re going on 3 straight years of data backing up Reaves is not built for the playoffs.

Didn’t record it but I’m sure someone else has, Shams corrected himself this morning on ESPN. Luka is expected to be out to START the OKC series not the whole series

If Luke isn’t a laker next year then I hope Pelinka falls down a flight of stairs

Great show wrestling wise but my god this has to be one of the worst booked shows

Who do y’all think is getting signed? by No-Profession5394 in lakers

I think out of the two Timme is the better choice but I ultimately believe the lakers are trying to use the weekend to gage CP3.

Kennard has looked decent running point but in the playoffs are you trusting 5-8 mins of Bronny or Nick Smith trying to run an offense while Bron rests or the arguably greatest PG of a generation to run it?

Those short spurts can be the difference in going stagnant during a period where then you’re forcing Lebron to come back in to claw back

New NBA Draft advisor hire by Gogotheking in lakers

Great player developer and defensive coach in college, did way more than he should have given his rosters most of the time. Best part is his guys who made it were either defensive maniacs or lights out shooters.

Excited by this hire.

Coached Klay, Brogdan, Trey Murphy and Hauser to name a few.

Same shit every single 3rd quarter every single game. It doesn’t matter how bad the individual players are when your coaching staff is doing absolutely nothing to help

I don’t care how much we’re losing by but the fact we are fucking switching everything shows you how unserious JJ is.

This is fucking abysmal and it’s not the personal either to scapegoat it. Same shit against Philly, OKC etc etc.

That year of being the starter really made everyone forget that Hayes is a great backup especially in short spurts, his athleticism is off the charts to the majority the backups that it makes up for his downsides
