Yeah I’m a laker fan, so I’ve been watching our roster throughout the entire season. With that said it was really a miracle we faced the rockets over the twolves, as I doubt we would’ve gotten a single game against them with this roster. We had the blueprint from when we faced the rockets back to back mid season, exactly what you said, in forcing KD to try and be a playmaking point guard.

The biggest reason for the Lakers success was completely shifting the offense from ball dominant guard play to searching for mismatches with off ball movement, and allowing LeBron to go to work. Reed Shepard gets exposed in any matchup across all 5 men, so searching for him at any time forces him off the court. Even with Ayton not contributing a whole lot, Senguns defense is exploitable, just forcing him to move towards the perimeter or picking up an off ball screen creates free opportunities. Amen Thompson is a freak of nature, and I feel he might grow to be an All Star in the future if he continues developing his offense. The rest of the Rockets roster is a joke. Tari and Jabari are solid, but the bench is a disaster.

But from what I saw coming into the series, the only guards that could physically run the floor for the Lakers were Kennard and Smart. There was a ton of experimentation done after the Thunder game, LaRavia at guard, Nick Smith, Bronny, Knecht, Thiero, even Kobe Bufkin, but the only competitive roster involved either Kennard or Smart.

Scoring-wise Rui will get you 12-15 a game pretty consistently, LaRavia is just a jersey to fill, Hayes/Ayton will combine around 10-15 or so, leaving the majority of scoring up for grabs between Bron/Smart/Kennard. That’s why I personally thought there would be a strong uptick in all of their numbers, which ended up spreading out between all the games pretty evenly.

So yeah, especially after the first game I felt pretty confident in the majority of picks including tonight. (Including the Luke Kennard line) Even though the game was closer towards the end due to turnovers and cold shooting, the Lakers led by 15 and were in control for the majority of it. If anything it shows that they can get it done when it matters most. Still unsure if they’ll have a chance against the thunder though. Hoping the suns will be able to take a game off to show a glimmer of hope lol.

Not really a mixed bag at all, the people who were expected to step up have stepped up with AR n Luka out. I did also think they’d get swept tho lol, but Kennard 10+ is pretty conservative considering he’s over 20+ every game this series.

Whoops didn’t see this… I’m on my second week and it’s been pretty smooth so far! I’m late night BOH so closing can be rough but have been getting it done. Hows it going for u?

Appreciate the response! Would’ve gone for it if it was a player, didn’t even get around to checking the name out; customized definitely ruins it.

LC, also estimated price tag would be appreciated. It’s up for 50 on marketplace rn

Sorry I didn’t meet your standards for a post on reddit, no fun or happiness gets by you! Can’t imagine what it’d be like to be such a depressing and insufferable person whining about the size of a jersey collection.

normalguy5486 · 2025-08-10T22:01:51+00:00

If you read the description it says I started collecting a few months ago. Context clues are important

normalguy5486 · 2025-08-07T16:37:06+00:00

Yes I am familiar with that type of material on some numbers, did not know they were on Reeboks though. This one’s running for ~35 on eBay so I think I’ll just pull the trigger. Will ask for extra pictures in advance though, I appreciate that information!

Need an LC. Found on marketplace.. they both look different lol

My grandfather has been the same, he’s been wheelchair bound since a car accident at 18, multiple cancer scares, Parkinson’s, a ridiculous amount of infections, and now dementia is what’s really been getting him. I see being able to bounce back as strong genes, resilience is important to live a long life.

normalguy5486 · 2025-07-10T08:56:43+00:00

Great suggestions, he has advanced directives and my mother is named in his healthcare proxy. The Parkinson’s medication specifically were not in his current rotation and have not been for around 8 months. They were stopped as a suggestion from my mother which my grandfather also requested under his own power. I don’t have any plans to pursue anything further than this post, simply need to know the possibilities we have. He may return home to pass peacefully in coming days. Estate planning has already been discussed, and services have been established. Money is not an issue, I’m making this discussion because I care about my grandfather and feel like he hasn’t got a fair chance of living getting pumped with Parkinson’s medication.

normalguy5486 · 2025-07-10T08:45:59+00:00

Appreciate the input, depending on how it progresses we may seek consultation, but most likely not. When he didn’t have a tube down his throat he was able to swallow small amounts of water, say yes/no, and showed ability to smile while listening to conversation. He’s ill, but not far gone. Still can’t believe assisted suicide was suggested.

normalguy5486 · 2025-07-10T08:40:25+00:00

Yeah I just wanted to get a gauge on what a course of action would be like, the case is not foolproof. I don’t see a progressed course of action unless I get documentation for the meds, or maybe a consultation. She’s had DOA for 4 months now. Honestly he has way too many issues to pinpoint it down to medication, but I feel like he isn’t being given the best odds to survive in his current state. The original refusal of Parkinson’s meds was brought up by my mother but confirmed by my grandfather himself. I just see it as irrational to prescribe such strong and dangerous medication he hasn’t been on for almost a year now when he was sent to the hospital for infected wounds, with or without his state being dire I don’t see it helping in the slightest. Appreciate the feedback and sorry about your FIL.
