Agree. Dude is always interesting, to say the least.
 
Might start stocking up on KB limited sneakers. Looks like his career is reaching the finish line sooner. Pretty amazing how much he's tried to change his game this late in his career and the amount of feedback he's getting from his fellow players and the general public about his injury, really speaks on how much he's grown as a person. Sad day though. Would be somewhat of a Hollywood script if the Lakers can take anything from this and make the playoffs/advance past 1st round.

They were built to win right now., that's what I meant. Don't forget they were marred with various injuries on their key players throughout the season, which made the process of developing any consistent play difficult.





I'd rather swing hard and strike out, than be 2nd round eliminated year in and year out.





Your Pacers ain't doing shit. Neither are the Clippers or Warriors.

Who out of the four teams mentioned will go to the Second round? The Clippers and Golden State are improving teams.





I just dont get if youve been watching your team how you can actually think they are Western Conference Finalists or Going to the Finals?





Yall got swept in the Second Round two years ago by Dallas, got knocked by OKC the next year. And this year your "built to win"?





I understand repping your squad, but what delusional state are you in to think that the roster is a WIN NOW team w/ No Bench, wack coaching, Old Nash, and an inconsistent Howard.








You though they would be better than the last two seasons?

Step your reading comprehension game up. Never said one thing about the Lakers making a deep run. Matter of fact, I expect a first round elimination if they meet OKC.





Clips, Indy, Warriors can make the 2nd round all they want, but they are not SERIOUS title contenders. As long as OKC and Miami remain with their core players, they ain't doing shit. Save it, and post it when i'm wrong. lol

Did you see this one. Trainer claims Jordon was intentionally food poisoned by Jazz fans in Utah before the flu game.

"Lakers have Nash, theyll be fine".

And last, Go Warriors! We're deep this year and going to be in the mix for the playoffs.




Don't count on it.





The LA Clippers are the future.




Lakers are the NOW. As much as I wanna root for the Clippers, they're nothing without Chauncey or a healthy Odom. I feel like them dudes are the key to the Clippers' success. Without versatile and "smart" players, they're nothing but a bunch of athletic dudes looking awkward in their offense under Vinny del Negro. Talk about bigs with no shooting touch....Blake and D'Andre are just that. They should run and gun it every time down the floor, with the amount of athletes they have on that team. They are however one of the deepest teams in the league, if not the deepest...




What was that you were saying?
 
You old dudes be trippin. Clips haven't done shit yet. Neither have the Pacers or Warriors, so I don't what yall are chirping about.
 
"Lakers have Nash, theyll be fine".




LA broadcasters are saying they've never seen this many injuries on their key players like they have this year.





And they just made the 7th spot, deal with it bitch.
 
Uh because you said that the Warriors wouldn't make the playoffs and the Lakers were made to win now. Last time I checked you were #8 in the playoffs and we're #6.

OKC..... same team as last year, with a few pieces added. They could be a contender if kill the TO's and maybe add some more scoring power outside of Harden/Durant/Westbrook.Them or the Lakers as the West champs




R.I.F.
