Gotta say I'm kinda enjoying what going on with the Lakers right now. :heh:

How come you're not focused on how great the Celtics have performed this year?
Hey now.

The Celtics have been one of the best teams in the NBA*

* during the last two week or so time period

man- Boston and Toronto are hot--- getting right on the Cavs heels

Garland getting healthy, the LEVert trade, and hopefully Markkanen being back soon is something they badly needed

nice ho-hum win against SAS.

PRetty crazy that hte Cavs are just expected to win now. lol.

dude....3 months ago....

its just crazy
No doubt hard to pull ahead and be sure to stay out of the play in. One cold streak and we drop to 7.

However, IF we can stay healthy I feel like we should be no lower than 6 and maybe as high as 2-3 end of reg. season.

Because they're kinda disappointing and mentioning that the Lakers aren't living up to the billing makes me feel better about them.

With Lebron in Cleveland, they don't have any of those younger assets though. The team would look completely different. Much like how the Lakers could look vastly different without Lebron (and likely AD), keeping all their young assets (and likely drafting Garland).
Agree...and why even if you said I could use Doc Brown's DeLorean and do things differently for the Cavs I'm not sure I'd change anything as I love where the team is right now. Any change might alter that and not necessarily for the better.

Were the Lakers really expected to make this work this season? Surely should be better than this, but not the favorite. Only Lakers fans tried to find ways the Russ trade would work (since we didn't have an alternative, lol).

The Cavs certainly have come together quicker and better than the Lakers were doing with their young crew.

Preseason weren't they the favorites to come outta the WC?

In theory, it could have worked based on what the intention was behind getting him. Unfortunately, for a lot of reasons, much of which has been shit luck, there really hasn't been a chance to see if it could work.

Even now, with the team starting to be more or less healthy, Russ is so deep into his own head, it may not be possible for them to figure things out this year.

Sixers are gonna be very very interesting to watch.

I am sure Harden will actually try harder now.

Harden is such a good fit with Embiid. They gave up a lot - but for the next couple seasons the fit is just too good to pass up.
