Every season, Ty Lue is dealt a bad hand with injuries to 2 of his best players but this man finds ways to still win games.

Kawhi na scammer abeg! angry
He has bad advisors. When he moved home closer to those "uncles" I smelt trouble. A promising career, potential face of the league career will never be, because of bad advice. I dont care how skilled you are, if you dont show up, it doesnt matter. Someone is repeatedly gassing this guy up, Kawhi is living in the fantasy world of 5 years ago. Most of those injuries could have been managed and played through - popovich, a players coach said as much

Big shout out to Ajala for raising that question about Jerry Jones with the press during his press conference. They all wanted to cancel Kyrie and tried to label him anti-Semitic but have turned a blind eye or are choosing to trivialize what Jerry Jones did.

Well appreciated Ajala!
Lol what did Jerry Jones do? When will people learn and stop this woke nonsense. I saw that photo and Jerry Jones was just there standing at the back watching. Not like he was an active participant.

That was 65 years ago. He was 14 years. Lmaoo since I've started observing cancel culture this is the worst and most shameless attempt I've ever seen

Don't know why he didn't stay in T-dot. Would have been the face of Canada with a country behind his back.

Never understood how full grown adults complain about homesickness talmbout I want to be close to home. Nigga you're a 29 year old man your hood is not going to uproot itself to another location. It will still be there when you retire. Imagine he somehow led Toronto Raptors to not one but two rings or even another Finals appearance?

I don’t think you are understanding where I am coming from. There is a good reason Jerry tried hard to have that picture hidden from cyber space but somehow it got out. If the media were bent on canceling Kyrie, Ime and others (thank God they failed) because of perceived wrongs why are silent about even questioning Jerry about the picture..

Being 14 has absolutely nothing to do with his presence in that photo, especially when you consider his antecedents and history with race issues in America. Worsestill, the explanation of just being there does not sell because he had to have known the black kids were making their way up.

All in all, the media should keep the same energy when they are trying to cancel people..

Of course in these days and times you're going to be alarmed that such an image is going to come out.

Of course the media will be compelled to do something and this is why I am so anti cancel culture because all this outrage is useless and performative

I'm sorry but short of say murder and r@pe I am not holding anyone for what they did aged 14 and 65 years ago. It's saying something too that people are digging into something that happened almost before both my parents were born to accuse him of wrongdoing.

I am not calling Jerry Jones a saint but going back 65 years to malign somebody is evil. Asking for your players to stand for the national anthem does not make you racist. And again Jerry was several rows at the back watching. They have to present more damning evidence than that

Big AL takes a pay cut to remain with the Celtics.

This is important for us because we have JB who will become eligible for a contract extension.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:11am On Dec 03, 2022
JB drains the 3 to increase our lead to 10..
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 4:14am On Dec 03, 2022
Nice win at the Bucks. We really needed that one after the clusterfuck against Pacers. Not surprising that a healthy AD is matching up to Giannis. Don't say I didn't tell you.

P.s. Westbrook is very bad at managing game situations.

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:15am On Dec 03, 2022
Of course we lost to the Heat.. Who else did I think will stop the run..
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:17am On Dec 03, 2022
The Lakers need to employ more of the Ajala/ AD P&R because it is a very difficult one to guard considering the size and abilities of both players around the restricted zone.

They said they were longevity stats. The only other player to even crack the top 20 in both categories is Big O

Isnt this more on the coaching changes than AD per se? I really love the rotations every time I watch Lakers play.

Do you have an example trade in mind? Sell Lebron while stock is high? Or package WB while stock is high?

The Lakers need at the very least one consistent shooter, if they want to make it far in the playoffs. Now if they don't believe they can win it this year, trading Lebron is not a bad idea, the right team will give up at the very least a 1st round pick + players to match salaries.

Lol. See how you people are suggesting trading LeBron like LeBron is Kyle Kuzma or something grin
LeBron gets traded only if he asks to. And he's not even playing that badly for anyone to want to trade him. Much of AD's success has to do with him and Westbrook intentionally giving him the ball. That brings us to the delima of whether to trade Westbrook or not. The guy is taking fewer shots these days which is good. He's more interested in finding others. I'm sure even Darvin Ham is happy with this version of Russ. He still remains the top 1 or 2 facilitator on the team. There's a whole lot of decisions to be made over the coming days. I wouldn't be surprised if the team remains as it is come 15th

Agreed with all you said, but this Lakers roster is barely 5 deep when it comes to players who can play quality minutes in the playoffs. So unless they want to waste a great AD and Lebron year, they need to make serious moves to bolster their rotation

LeBron, AD, Russ, Schroder, Walker, Reaves, Wenyen, Troy Brown will see good minutes in the playoffs either as key players or as role players. That leaves us with Pat Bev and Nunn. Both have been outright useless on offense this season so far and there's been talks of trading them to get someone manageable. I don't know if Darvin Ham can rely on Beverley's defense alone to give him substantial playoff minutes.

But looking at how we fell short tonight against Cleveland, who knows whether Russ is still there to be traded.

Schroder has always been a playoffs liability wherever he goes. As for Reaves, walker, Wenyen and Brown, they have never been, so the jury is still out on them.
This still leaves a team with 2 top 15 players when healthy, who should be challenging for a title with a dodgy lineup beyond Westbrook.
