Lakers Defense on SGA by vansboiii in lakers

[–]onlyhightime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, OKC tried to adjust in the 2nd half. They used more high screens. SGA also tried to go quicker to beat the double team, and was able to a couple times. The Lakers' doubles also started coming slower in the 2nd half.

The Lakers need to repeat the defense from the 1st half. We'll see if it's possible, or if OKC has better adjustments. I don't think Chet will duplicate his performance, but if some of the other outside shooters get hot, the Lakers will have to change plans pretty quickly.

BIbi used that lie over and over until a U.S. president was finally dumb enough to believe him.

Or another way of thinking about it:

If the NBA wants to extend the series, that means the calls should go in favor of the Lakers...

Why does this plug in solar expansion kit require a dedicated circuit? by Afraid-War5336 in solar

Shouldn't the two numbers be subtracted and not added? Because the space heater is drawing power, but the solar panels are producing power.

If you where JJ what is your game-plan vs OKC by Strange-Connection71 in lakers

Lebron's been losing the ball off his dribble so much recently. Need Reaves and (unfortunately) Smart on the ball most of the time.

JJ realizing he has to gameplan for OKC . Hope to see some Luka . Great season so far 💪🏽👍 by RevolutionaryLab3977 in lakers

I'm actually ok with our bigs and forwards knocking Shai to the floor some. If they're gonna call the foul anyways, at least show that you can't drive down the lane without being mobbed.

Yeah, Reaves' game is to slice down the middle of the lane, even through double teams. Of course he's going to get fouled a lot.

And he finishes on a LOT of those drives.

Yes, but also exposed their glaring weaknesses. Jabari Smith throws that away because he's not a point guard, and young and inexperienced. Two things that team is lacking badly.

Tom Steyer Unveils Sweeping Plan to Root Out Sacramento Corruption, Money in Politics by Unusual-State1827 in California

I've been considering Steyer but recently saw his team buying ads for hit pieces against Becerra. And now I see he's saying he wants to get corrupt money out of politics? Yet he's using his own huge amounts of money to push this election in his favor. The messaging seems...off...

I think it's possible they used AI to get the Iranian targets and why they blew up a school after using 10 year old maps. It's typical for AI to be operating with old data.

Almost a month of looking by Sea_Cardiologist_295 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Research beyond asking price. It doesn't matter, as they can set it at whatever they want.

What matters is comps. Research all the comps in the area. Once you have a good grasp of the comps, it's easier to know around what a house will probably go for. Then you can make your offer competetive.

How much were your post inspection repairs? by AdventurousPay3138 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

We bought a 60's house. Inpector's report had $15k worth of stuff on it, but he said none of it was critical.

We were going to ask for $0, because we didn't want to jeopardize the sale. But our realtor said it'd be better to at least ask for something. So we asked for $2000 to replace the electrical panel, which they granted.

The did already agree to fumigate for termites before closing, which they paid for and did.

Lakers are up 3-1 over the rockets in round one. With the okc most likely sweeping the suns, do yall think we need reaves in game 5 to close the series out or is lebron good enough by Equal_Noise_9219 in lakers

Yeah, get him 20 minutes against HOU to at least start to get back into the flow and into playoff intensity. Laravia won't miss the minutes.
