I think it's weird to comment on any post if I don’t know the person personally....

Bulls over Clippers in LA


Clench and

Missed the game, not shocked by the outcome.

Team has gotten used to playing a certain way without Lebron, figured whenever he returned they have to adjust to his presence again and would probably result in the team taking a step backwards for the short term.

And this Beasley thing…smh. Some of these weirdos just need to get a life.

 

[drewsone]

**** man dal/lac/gsw could all be back in play-in scenarios too lol
we gotta start getting these dubs man
need to go 5-2 these last 7
prob end up going 4-3 tho

 

[darthska]

Oh god. The Mavs are imploding.

10/24
6/16
5/15

And he wants $46 mil

We're gutting the team to get him, I just know it. And it's folks in here that will be GLAD for it.

probably wanted to see some words of encouragement since hes been struggling.

 

[ill 949]

social media is the last place he should be lookin. The more he reads the more it’s in his head. Just deactivate all that **** and go out and shoot

Feels like AD plays harder depending on who he’s matching up with. Nobody on OKC could hold him so he goes hard.

Against Chi he has Vuc and Drummond so he goes into his soft style of play.

Or maybe AD ain't no real center and is why he can't dominate real centers that outweigh him lol.

AD just doesn't have the physical frame to play center.

AD = ZERO CHIPS playing Center

AD = 1 Chip playing PF for 18-20 min per, with Javale and Dwight at C

 

[DLF]

its time to just temper expectations and expect to just be a play in team

bron definately doesnt play next game and dglass neither

Ok DLF

Agree
Big body centers always give him trouble. AD grew up playing guard, shot up in height, and changed positions. You can tell he really doesn’t know how to box out and he doesn’t like to bang. He gets rebounds because he’s tall and he fades away a lot in the post. He’s extremely skilled but not a natural center

Which is why signing a big body to bang for 8-10 minutes would help so much

I think we end up going 5-2 over this stretch (lose to Minnesota and Phoenix) and get the 8 seed

 

[pmatic]

538 has the Lakers finishing 41-41, finishing at the 8 seed. Playing the Clippers in the first play-in game.

 

[tay1]

538 ain’t ****. They models trash.

 

[DLF]

I think we end up going 5-2 over this stretch (lose to Minnesota and Phoenix) and get the 8 seed

I think we go 8-0 over the next 7

 

[darthska]

I think we go 8-0 over the next 7

If I were the Lakers, I would try really hard to win at least 8 of the last 7 games.

 

[noblekane]

think we lose to the bulls and wolves

beat the rockets, jazz, and clippers

lose to suns

beat the jazz

 

[noblekane]

Ok DLF

 

[drewsone]

hoping for 5-2 tbh lol
can see 4-3 tho but if that happens hopefully one of the other teams drop

or gsw can keep giving the ball to poole in the clutch to sell games and they lose like 4
