it warms my heart to see a Lakers fan say- with the best player in the league- that "making the playoffs and getting to the 2nd round should be this teams ceiling for this year".
I couldnt imagine ever saying any season in the prime of LeBron James - would have a ceiling of the 2nd round---
Walton tests variety of lineups, 'won't overreact'
Kuzma and Beasley at center in small lineups? I think that is a disaster waiting to happen.
Why would it warm your heart? It would be pretty stupid to predict something more than that when you consider they have a core group of players who are still learning how to play in the NBA.
And lol @you thinking that testing various lineups means anything. It's a pretty much re-made roster. The pre-season and early part of the regular season will be used for seeing how different lineups work together on the floor. If a lineup looks to be "a disaster waiting to happen", it won't be used anymore.
I know that last night made Lebron to the Lakers real for you and that you're dealing with off the charts levels of butthurt. But there's no need to embarrass yourself over it.
