SMH at people trying to downplay Lebron's season. The Lakers are tied for the 2nd best record in the league and AD has missed 18 games.....Most people predicted that LA would fall to the 4th/5th seed without AD. But here we are with the 2nd best record in the league.

Funny how yall talk about how low Lebron's "PER" is (24.73)...When some of the players yall are putting ahead of Lebron have a lower "PER" than his:

Harden- 24.57
Paul- 20.05

It just shows how bias you clowns are.

When you look at Lebron's "PER". Let's not overlook the fact that LA/Miami had the shortest offseason in NBA history, and that Lebron has only missed 1 game.

Shyt, I would give Lebron the MVP just off the strength of last year's postseason.

Giannis- Came up short again
Harden- Came up short again
Lillard- Got knocked out by the Lakers- Shot 40% for the series
Jokic- Got knocked out by the Lakers- Had an average series
Lebron- Champion-Finals MVP


Jokic would be the only player (Embiid injured) I would consider for MVP over Lebron. But Denver would need to finish within 1 or 2 games of the Lakers.

I like how you conveniently leave out the fact that every starter besides Luka has missed 9 or more games. KP missed start of the year and isn’t playing B2Bs. 3 starters were out at one point for 2 weeks due to covid protocols

Quality posting otherwise


This was an issue last season too, in fact they were even worse. Had they not blown so many leads they might have had a top 3 seed and not had to play the clippers in the 2nd round.


Mavericks in the clutch (2019-2020)
ORtg: 99.2
DRtg: 109.6
Net: -10.4
Record: 17-24

I agree it was an issue last year, and still is. But I think that any possible growth was stunted the first half of the season when you have Luka closing games next to Willie Cauley Stein and Wes Iwundu

If it continues this second half of the season, the front office will be pretty aggressive in mixing up the roster this offseason, imo

Dallas by way of Houston by way of San Antonio
Why isn’t Lonnie starting anymore?

Dude defers too much with the starters. Lineups have been a bit of a mess given the Spurs' covid issues and Demar being out. My guess is Pop wants better defense (White) with the starters and that Lonnie will be forced to be aggressive with the bench mob.

e could get 3 good draft picks for Wood and a young player with upside. I read that Houston been getting some ridiculous offers for Wood but consider him a cornerstone. I wouldn’t be opposed to trading him but it would take crazy haul. He is a really good player. Single-handlers kept us in the game last night but once/whenever he set Detroit just pulled away.


Silas been dealt a bad hand but he needs to do better. He should be brought back next season but he needs to implement some sort of system on offense.

I said he’s been dealt a bad hand but this roster shouldn’t be getting blown out by the pistons when healthy like last night. They have no system on offense. Even DJ Augustine couldn’t facilitate in this mess last night. Houston has talent. This ain’t the 2003 Cavs or 1999 Bulls. Like I said he shouldn’t be fired but he needs to implement an offense. Players don’t know where to ET need to be. I get frustrated when I see two players in the same spot on the floor(especially in the corne) as often I seen. We have a drive and kick guard in wall but why is he always crowded on penetration with no open player for an outlet.
