That health part concerns me. Bradly went down. Hope it's nothing serious.

Bradley was playing well too. Fingers crossed. Thankfully we deep at the guard spot

Bron is essentially the PG on offense.

Hope Bradley didn't injure his groin. Been nagging him the previous two seasons.

Once Rondo comes back, he'll take some of the playmaking duties off of LeBron. I don't like LeBron playing this many minutes with this much of the offensive responsibilities on him.

Bradley is starting to find his shot too smh

 

[tatayniDarna]

I hope this doesn't go to his head but hell the year before last he was averaging what 15 and 10? He is still capable.

thats my fear as well. he’s slowly becoming more involved offensively and its not just those putbacks but so far so good.

this was going to be a 1 way street relationship where if he doesn’t work out we can simply cut him but he’s starting to create a blueprint in the lakers defense where i can’t imagine them having the same type of success w/o howards defense in the playoffs.

when AD and Dwight are on the floor, i have great confidence they can change the momentum on both ends of the floor.

 

[tatayniDarna]

Man if Bradley is injured and misses time and Rondo is still out.

I'm going to be like this if LeFake is the starting PG:

the good news is there’s no shortage in depth. caruso could simply get his minutes since he’s so effective defensively.

 

[atlsfinest]

Remember back in August when we were getting clowned for picking up Howard?

 

[tupac003]

X ray negative on Bradley. Contusion.

Day to day.

 

[pmatic]

I don't even blame them. I wanted Joakim.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Dwight leads the league in plus-minus.

Never thought I'd say this about him: Impact player.

 

[mr j 858]

Just need to wait for Iggy to get bought out and sign with the Lakers.

If Goran Dragic, Jeff Teague, or Kyle Lowry get bought out or if we make a trade that would be dope and nice to have a decent PG going into the playoffs.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Caruso is really better on D then i thought, dude is active as hell
KCP making shots when it counts

Dwight making a huge impact on the game on both ends... this a good team win, in years past we would have blown that game... now when things are close we got a LBJ/AD combo to work off

Off to a great start

 

[mr j 858]

I don't even blame them. I wanted Joakim.

Like I said before. Joakim is a younger washed up version of Tyson Chandler what we saw last year on the Lakers.

 

[tupac003]

Remember back in August when we were getting clowned for picking up Howard?

They all looking like

 

[goldmember]

Ummm ...is it just me or KCP didnt really hit back to back 3s? First one was long 2 in the corner

 

[tatayniDarna]

not a lot of people really wanted dwight and there was reason to that. as soon as boogie went down tho, i immediately thought of dwight i knewthe clips would have an undeniable advantage if they have, kawhi, PG13 plus legit size in Zubac/Dwight to counter AD and Javale.

 

[whoaitsgee]

Dwight taking away some DPOY votes while LBJ snatches a few MVP votes away from AD.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I'm pretty comfortable rolling with this conglomerate all year tbh. Iggy and a KCP trade would be icing on the cake but I think this squad can be legit as is. We're still a work in progress and should get better

 

[CP1708]

I'm tryin to be chill, but folks.......typically Bron teams start slow then start to percolate around game 15-20.

We're winning early and still getting Kuz into shape.

Real tears.

 

[mr j 858]

Man if Boogie somehow makes it back late in the season (March or April) and for the Championship run

Only to get hurt again. No thanks. The Boogie ship has sailed away. Be realistic please. This guy is just too injury prone to expect anything out of him anymore in his career. Put a fork in him. Dwight > Boogie

 

[tupac003]

I wouldn't integrate boogie in that late. Just see if you can sign him again next year.

Watching this Clippers Jazz game. We have to keep the Clippers off the offensive boards. Montrez has to be kept out of the paint.
