It's really been their defense that's made lose these past few games. In regards to the KD stuff, I initially thought the first one was clean, while the second could've been called by the ref either way. Regardless if they were fouls or not, other players besides Bron/Love should've stepped up in crucial time. TT and JR Smith really useless.

Yeah, I love evangelion. One of my favs.

I haven't watched the movie you're talking about though. I had the same feeling when I started SAO. Felt it was gonna go in the right direction, but it fell flat.

Watch those Christmas games?

the nostalgia

I have many issues with SAO.

"Dream in a pragmatic way"

finallyyyyyy

I still haven't got passed episode 5.

lmao let beasley off the hook he just had a big game haha but prob true. randle will likely ask for something around that price range, but he's not worth it. tristan thompson def not worth his contract, but the cavs were desperate but we're better because it won't kill us if we lose randle.

I could definitely see Randle being traded out of the group. He's a good player, but not worth the money he's eventually gonna ask for. Bynum was definitely an idiot lol he had potential and blew it gonna be interesting with the PG13 situation. they prob don't have plans to trade him now, but if this horrible play continues, I could see him being traded. They definitely don't want to lose another all star for nothing during free agency again. Don't want that reputation.

Hopefully Lopez is gone soon. The second unit is really good right now, but yeah Kuzma is definitely starter material. 2018 and 2019 gonna be interesting for the Lakers. They are in a much better position to acquire free agents compared to a few years ago when they had little to no pieces.

I mean just in general.

Let's hope not. CP3 can be annoying at times, but he's still a great player, so I hope he can have a healthy playoff run. that's a good thing though, as long as those laker pieces develop nicely to help trade value. kuzma went off for 38 points tonight. stud.

This thread might not be for you then. ------- I bet it was due to to the traveling, honestly. He's always had knee problems, and his body was one of the reasons he didn't get back into coaching again. I'm happy for Kobe on his jerseys being retired. Well deserved. That was an exciting game to watch, especially down the stretch. KD makes it look so easy, but the Lakers missing 13 FT's just killed them. I also thought our defense was pretty good considering KD, Klay, etc didn't have a good shooting night. Last thing: you can tell Lonzo is taking defense more seriously now compared to October, and his defense on KD on that last shot was good, especially for a rookie. Games like these give you a glimpse of how good the Lakers will be in a few years. Melo with 4 points....yikes. The system is just awful in OKC. Donovan could take some notes from D'Antoni, and what he's doing with CP3/Harden and the Rockets. OKC should be lucky Denver's defense in that game was poor.

KOBE jersey retirement ceremony tonight!!!

The Rockets look really good tbh. That potential matchup with the Warriors looks interesting.

No, I know Gasol was heading to the Rockets, but there was still a possibility of getting someone like Dwight Howard on the team down the line (not like the way we actually got him.) Kobe/Paul/Howard definitely would've been considered a super team. that's cause he doesn't know what he's doing, haha. he basically changed his whole system to adjust to players on OKC. they clearly have offensive sets he can use, yet they keep forcing iso ball + no ball movement. he needs to take more control of the team, and get these guys on the team to become less selfish.

I bring up Dwight in terms of team hopping, not really for his play. Point is, I don't think it'll automatically be better if he goes to the Clippers, Wizards, or any other team he's linked too. By LA, do you mean the Lakers or Clippers? cuz if you mean the latter, then nah, that isn't gonna work. Nope, I gotta disagree with the CP3 trade that got vetoed. You had Kobe, and Paul, who was great at the pick n roll + they had pieces to flip to potentially for a super team in the future. I don't get your adding more point? the pelicans situation isn't really like the ones you mentioned involving the heat, kobe/gasol. main difference? they had big time players joining a team with role players who fit the system. the pelicans on the other hand, don't have a whole lotta talent outside of davis/jrue/cousins/rondo. just noticed I had a typo in my other post. I meant "you can't just make chemistry work how you like in an instant" melo needs to get his shot going. man he's been shooting 30-35% the past few games overall it's not something you want to see. and average 1.5 assists..smh him and george need to work on their defense as well, no excuse for that. if they don't do that, they'll get smoked in the playoffs.

all depends on how they finish the year, imo. last year didn't matter so much since boogie joined the pelicans after ASG, but it looks like he's developing a rhythm with Davis. Honestly, if they grab top 5 seed let's say, and doing in this West, he shouldn't leave. That just tells you there's growth. Both guys are young too, it's not like boogie is old and should join a contender now. I'd rather him grow and hone his craft in New Orleans instead of being like a Dwight Howard, and going from team to team. kinda different adding a former MVP to a 73 win team that had a 3-1 lead in the finals, no? not to mention all the people you mentioned had better role players than the pelicans have now. c'mon man it's been 2 months that's a little early. the heat were like 9-8 thru 17 games, the thunder are 13-14 thru 27 games. not saying OKC will be like that Heat team, and go to the finals, but there's still time to figure out things. You can just make chemistry work how you like in an instant, it takes time. OKC full of ball dominant guys, at least the Heat had Lebron, and Kobe had Gasol, two guys who were effective and could distribute the ball. I just gotta see what OKC's record is going before February. January is gonna be really interesting for this team. If they are flat out terrible, then yes, a trade needs to happen. The worst thing to happen is for this team to be bad, not make a trade, and miss the playoffs. Then if PG did leave, you'd get nothing in return. We'll have to just let things play out for sure.

yeah but unless the there was a third team involved in a team, the pelicans prob wouldn't get much in return compared to the team that would get boogie. Rondo's return from injury has been really good for the team, especially for Jrue Holiday. The offense has been way better with those two in the backcourt. maybe, but it's still a process. if they can just make the playoffs, it'll be a different ball game. not easy when you have chemistry issues, and Westbrook isn't used to guys who play more slow/iso ball.
