Let them tell it Lakers fans been waiting for Dennis Schroeder to come save the szn. Madness over there.

Man did that in the first quarter up 12-4 only to clank a pair in the second half and give the fans free chicken nuggets

Only issue with AD was staying healthy. He can't get the keys if ain't on the court. Bron not being there has forced him to step up. Theres no safety net right now. Bron wouldn't have a problem being the #2. It's a bunch games when he'll defer to AD and get other guys involved.

Probably no need for you non-West Coasters to stay up for Dubs-Clips - Kawhi and PG both out.

If Steph is playing, it is a must watch. Greatest show in sports.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Warriors playing at home, so they is a chance they won't suck tonight

Poole probably will though

 

[Mark Antony]

This better

I'd be so mad at 17 missing so many open layups while i'm getting grappled by a bear.

 

[Based Jesus]

It's not just health with AD. He is who he is. People keep talking like he's still a work in progress who just needs more reps to reach his full potential. "He's just playing behind Bron, wait until he gets the keys." He's 30. The bubble was spectacular but not really him. Let them pipe dreams go.

I mean, he did say that he loves the fans of Philly.

Yeah, the fans holding onto those Bubble Mid-Range and 3 Ball dreams are like Joseph Gordon Levitt in 500 Days of Summer. The Bubble was the Ikea days but that was an aberration and is now a fleeting memory. They need to let that go and they'll be much better off. This non-Bubble AD should be their Autumn.

Using 500 Days of Summer to describe basketball is insane

That it actually works is insaner

Biggest issue with the Lakers has been the front office making one bone headed decision after another with the players they have put around Lebron and AD.

They should have ran back that 2020 team. They kept making changes and none of them really worked. Being cheap on AC didn't help either.

They sign guys like Monk and Walker to one years deals, watch them ball for them and then watch them leave because "they want to be flexible" with cap space (don't want repeater tax).

 

[ballinsam23]

Imagine thinking 38 year-old, Kareem chasing Bron is going to save this team . He needs to just get the record and hand the keys to AD like Chuck and Shaq said.

Cant hand the keys to a car that'll randomly break down on you at any given moment.

They still need Bron and current AD if they want any chance at the play-in. You know they're not trading Bron either.

The fact the movie involves a white women makes it even better

Just imagine Gordon Levitt with a caesar and a pair of Chelsea boots, and that is storm2006

The funny is **** is ya'll hold onto the bubble and bring it up more than Lakers fans. Ya'll act like that whole regular season never happened (and we know why, we get it). Lakers had the #1 seed and AD was a monster that whole year.

AD stood there letting reaves get punked

Using the butterfly effect is equally insane

Any idea when Cole Anthony will be back?
