  1. Too bad it's first to win 4 games and not 2, otherwise we would have played the Kings instead of the Warriors.
  2. If the Mariners wanted to hit Trout in the head they would have done it earlier in the game and used a pitcher they could afford to get thrown out, not in the 9th inning up by only 2, a man on 1st, and their closer on the mound.
  3. Didn’t live too long, visitors from the basement gonna be serving Lebron chips and salsa while watching the playoffs of the couch.
  4. When Vogel signed it wasn’t the most attractive position, 3 years later nothing has changed. Doubt they’ll get any of the top candidates.
  5. Pretty incredible how Pelinka was able to turn a top of the notch defensive team and one that was up 2-1 to the eventual finalists into this shit all in 1 offseason.
  6. Well considering they are still paying Deng for that awful contract, it is only fitting they do the same with Westbrook, right as Deng's salary falls of the books next year.
  7. At least US wouldn't be on the same side as Russia during WWIII
  8. https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2022/2/15/22935065/lakers-christian-wood-john-wall-russell-westbrook-trade-deadline-rumors-report-rob-pelinka Turned down a trade to get rid of Westbrook and add a big man averaging 17.6 points and 10 rebounds. Back to Lebron starting at center.
  9. Saw this on Facebook: - Nearly deal Kyle Kuzma and Montrezl Harrell for Buddy Hield. - Should accept Raptors trade demand; Dennis Schroder, Talen Horton-Tucker, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and No.22 pick for Kyle Lowry via sign & trade. - DeMar DeRozan taking paycut in free agency to join LeBron, AD and to reunite with Lowry. - They could resign Alex Caruso into a decent contract. Potential Starting Lineup if happens PG: Kyle Lowry SG: Buddy Hield SF: DeMar DeRozan PF: LeBron James Anthony Davis
  10. Frank had them as one of the best defensive team last 2 seasons, he didn't just forget how to coach defense. Look at the team: AD: best defender, elite Lebron: old, doesn't play much defense anymore (compared to past 2 years) Westbrook: never played a lick of defense Monk: never really played much defense Melo: never played defense and old Bradley: good defender but old Ariza: good defender but old DJ: old Dwight: old THT: young, not a good defender Can't teach defense to guys that are old or those that haven't played any they whole careers. Only person on that list that can be taught is Monk and THT.
  11. I don't blame Vogel one bit. He's been done dirty by the organization. Who can coach a team when 80% of the team is new season after season. Aside from Lebron and AD every year he has to start with a new team. And then, a season after they were up 2-1 against the team that made it to the finals before AD got hurt, they decide to trade/not resign all the scrappy younger guys from last year for over the hill dudes that haven't ever played defense or can't play defense anymore.
  12. Unless they can trade Westbrook for some decent return, they are screwed for next year. They have 145 million guaranteed to Westbrook, Lebron, AD, THT, Nunn, Johnson and Reaves. That doesn't include Monk who is a FA and who they should resign. This season their total salary is 163 million so about 18 million to resign Monk and fill out the rest of the roster. Not a good place to be in.
  13. Because no one wants him and his contract. 47 million next year.
  14. The team as currently constructed is awful, need a new GM.
  15. Seems like the season so far is going as planned.
  16. Lakers: giving up opponents season averages by the end of the 3rd
  17. I don't know, he seems more of a me guy than a team guy. Those are not the good clubhouse type guys.
  18. Man what a disastrous decision this is looking like so far by nixing the Hield trade and trading for Westbrook. Could have kept KCP and gotten Hield, both of whom are 3&D guys, shooting 40%+ from the 3. But instead got Westbrook who puts up great all around stats but cancels all of that out and more with horrible 3pt shooting, horrible ft shooting, tons of turnovers and awful defense to a tune of being -4.2 avg/game when he's on the court, 2nd worst on the team.
  19. You probably still think Albert Pujols is an elite 1B. BTW the Angels let go of Simmons because he was no longer the elite SS that they traded for. I doubt they wanted to replace him with someone worse.
  20. Gotta win the 7/8 matchup to avoid Jazz and Clippers in the first 2 rounds.
  21. These games may be meaningful in the seeding but are meaningless in the bigger picture, their pursuit of the ring. It doesn't matter whether they are in 6th or 7th as long as Lebron can come back healthy and stay healthy throughout the playoffs. If the Lakers can't win 1 of 2 games against the 8th or 9th seeded teams in the west in the playin then they have no business playing in the playoffs as their stay will be short. As far as Blazers winning 1 more game, that game is against the Nuggets, who now control their 1st round match up. A loss to Portland and they are guaranteed to avoid the Lakers. A win, combined with 2 Lakers wins, they would face the Lakers. I'm pretty sure I know what their preference is.
