You think the Clippers match up better with the Nuggets?
Let's just say I heavily disagree.
Look, I ain't worried about the Nuggets like all you nikkas seem to be. In the playoffs, they faced a Bron that couldn't jump, a shortened rotation because Beasley became unplayable, and D'Lo absolutely taking a shyt, while they shot 2009 ECF Orlando Magic numbers.
That's 40% from 3, better than any version of Golden State from 2015-2019!
And somehow:
Denver 132 LA 126 Game 1
Denver 108 LA 105 Game 2
Denver 119 LA 108 Game 3
Denver 113 LA 111 Game 4
In case y'all can't do math, that's 6 points, 3 points, 8 points, and 2 points.
Literally everything went Denver's way that series, and they barely beat us every game, by an average of 4.75 points.
What the fukk y'all scared for?
LeBron is healthy, Reaves is playing better, we have another POA defender in Reddish, and we're a top 5 defense in the NBA, soon to be top 4.
We will beat the Nuggets in a 7 game series if we are healthy.
Quote me. I'ma stand on it.
This is the most overblown talking point about that series. A rebound goes our way, a loose ball, D'Lo playing up to his normal standards, they don't get swept, and probably win all four of those games and we sweep THEM.
It's basketball, small things like that change the outcome. We see it all the time-- remember those free throws Davis missed last year leading up to the Playoffs?
While I miss Schroder, how are we WORSE at the PG position?
- Vincent hasn't been able to play, and most people would consider him a better player than Dennis.
- Westbrook is a net negative player for LAL, so losing him made us better.
- D'Lo is still here, and he's playing better than last year
The worst you could say is that we have Reaves playing PG, which isn't inherently a bad thing, but we are not fully healthy yet, and are still looking to make moves. You can't make a declaration like that until you see all our guys playing together.
Besides, LeBron is still the best Point Guard on either team.
Reddish and Vanderbilt can both guard Murray, and if we make a move for Caruso, Alex will guard him.
It's literally not. LeBron James has ALWAYS elevated his play in the playoffs when healthy. You are arguing from ignorance:
One player doesn't beat a complete basketball team. Otherwise LeBron would have 10 Championships and Jokic would have more than 1.
LeBron James is still the best basketball player in the NBA. Don't care how you wishy washy nikkas feel about this statement, we just saw him drop 30/5/5 in 23 minutes.
Show me Jokic doing that.
Nikka, were we fully healthy when we played them, or were we missing our best defender that game? Did AD have a good game or a bad game?
When you gonna be honest about this shyt?
Wondering if you still feel the same way a week and change later.I didn't say that. I prefer DS-- he was my favorite Laker last year outside of Bron
I said most people would say he is. He shoots a better percentage in every area of the game except FG: 3p, 2p, FT. He averages more steals. It's a very lateral move, all things considered, but Gabe gets the edge defensively just based on numbers.
This is not a new quote from me. I've been saying it since I got here.
Again, I don't give a fukk about your incredulity, show me Jokic getting 30/5/5 on 100/75/100 shooting in less than 23 minutes.
You can't because he's never done it. Michael Jordan has never done that.
It's almost like I said:
Can you read?
You are not wrong. But I'm not laying my hat on Russell completely. I'm simply saying he plays moderately better, we win those games.
Will he do this? I think he can, when we are not relying on him to be a number 3 option. Reaves seems to have taken that spot over, although they go back and forth. I would argue that Reaves is a more clutch performer, and that this argument would be better suited around Austin.
We'll see.
The fact remains that the Bulls are moving SOMEONE and we are in the market. If you are as bearish on D'Lo as you seem to be, why wouldn't we trade Russell for Caruso if he became available???
What reason do the clearly rebuilding Bulls have to say no when they're blowing up their whole team at the deadline? What other team has buzz surrounding a potential trade for AC?
Really?
I asked you this because him playing poorly is a part of the reason we lost that game. Best defender missing, AD playing poorly, etc. It's just one game.
Do you think we're losing the next matchup?
We'll see them again in 2 months.

This is some fukkin Washington Generals shyt out here what the fukk is wrong with these dumb asses?
Word to muva, I hate these nikkas
Word to muva, I hate these nikkas
Like I said, this is the worst Laker team I’ve watched when you consider the expectations, they fukking suck, the lack of assets, boring ass play style, no young prospects and no draft pick coming up.
