    i don't think this makes sense.

    jabari is not being put in PnR situation.

    lakers are constantly hunting Reed and Sengun, or Holiday and DFS

    What's the purpose of Finney goes in there for 2 minutes then pulled. Can't get in a groove like that. Visibly frustrated headed to the bench

    Defending the PnR is not about having a rim protector. It's about reading it correctly. Just low IQ defense.

    Stone should be fired for that DFS signing. just off that. imagine giving someone the MLE when a team traded for that guy and didn't even bother to negotiate with him

    I may have to resort to 4:30am Micky D's, death by artery clogging seems appropriate

    the result of JJ Reddick's Defensive strategy.

    more context is need; LBJ spends more thant 1$ M/yr (training/nutrition/sleep, etc) to maintain his body in tip top shape all-year round

    I expect Amen to airball or clank it off the rim so hard that if it hit somebody in the head they’d get a concussion

    He fell for the narrative that the Lakers were bad mouthing his health to get him cheap, rather than just telling the truth
