Lou WIll :picard:

It's getting embarrassing at this point.
Yall notice when KCP or Lebron drives, Trez's paint defense pretty much amounts to this :hubie:

Your move Doc :jbhmm:
This is the only way for teams to beat clippers, bully Lou and Harrell. It will be interesting how loyal Doc remains to them.

But on the real, it's absolute garbage they forced the Lakers into a back to back to back just so they could have LAL/LAC round 4 as a Thurs night TNT game.

yeah that's trash i dont like that. It would've been cool if the lakers just played 81 games in honor of kobe.

The only way i would've rescheduled if there was a potential tie breaker between the lakers and bucks or clippers and denver for playoff seeding home court advantage

Media wasn’t even picking the nuggets to make the playoffs before last year. And they’ve spent this year saying they’re not real contenders.

They’d be real contenders if MPJ could become the player and go to scorer they desperately need. You have to play him for that to happen which they seem inclined to do.

They are also going to regret picking Gary Harris over Malik Beasley even if he is the better defensive player.

I’m with you on MPJ. I don’t really think they’re contenders this year even at their best, so I’d use the rest of the year getting him as much run as possible.

as for Beasley/Harris, I’m sure they would’ve preferred to move Harris, but he makes 18 mil a year and was absolutely awful before the all star break, so I’m guessing they couldn’t move him. At least he’s starting to turn it around since the all star break.

In a couple of months a title will be at stake. I have no qualms with Lou sitting on the bench & Reggie being in his place. The message must be sent that EVERYONE must compete on the defensive end or else you won’t touch the floor. It can’t just be on Cell, PG & Bev

I feel bad for him as they are fighting for a playoff spot so they really don’t have the time to give him the development minutes that he needs. The teams knows that they need him in the long term plans, but Mike Malone seems unconcerned with finding him consistent minutes.

If they were on the Bucks/Clippers/Lakers level, yeah go with the vets that give you the best chance to win. But they’re a step below that. Plus even with the rookie mistakes he makes, he can still be a bigger net positive than plumlee or Craig if he gets his confidence on offense. He doesn’t need to start and play 36 mins a game but there’s no reason not to get him 20-25 off the bench

Been routinely practicing at the gym, and it feels easier to hit threes than midrange.

Tough to get the right level of “touch” on those mids.

Kawhi and PG are too passive to call Doc out on it. Lebron would've traded Lou Will by the all star break and benched Trez the second he tried to waive him off to iso in the 4th quarter.

To be fair, it shouldn't be the star players responsibility to force the coach to have common sense.

We need a playoffs matchup between these 2 teams

Closest we'll ever get to 80s Lakers vs 90s Bulls

Doc gon fukk it up and have Tony Kukoc and Bison Dele taking all the shots in the 4th tho

lol@Kukoch

Honestly everybody won yesterday. Lakers showed that they could get one against The Clippuhs & The Clippuhs saw what it’s basically going to be playing The Lakers in the playoffs but of course Bron will be playing more minutes.

I believe winner wins it all

The kind of history at stake is mind boggling

Oh yea...that final game in April will be important!

Clippers still fighting off Denver for #2
Lakers may still be pushing for #1

Plus this will be a chance for both teams’s “others” to get out there and get it popping to see whose supporting cast looks more mentally tough going into the playoffs
