Interesting

So Russell Westbrook was all that stood between undrafted AR from being an elite basketball player

Except

He isn't elite anywhere

Except FTA

Another straw man.

You're not very good at this.

 

[fightinfunbags]

He is obviously one of the ten best players in the game

Hell...20 million is a deal

He should be a max guy

He gets treated like one by NBA officials

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Yes. As no one else in that range is anything but.

Strange how that works when you cherry pick moments to fit your narrative.

 

[thunderc]

I see you've given up.

Good move. This was going nowhere on your end.

Note that I support all things Austin Reaves, he and I are alums. I assume he graduated anyway.

"Moments'

A quarter of the season

Yessir

Awww, somebody doesn't like having his narrative shot down.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Yessir

Bull shit is a talent.

He's worked his ass off to be a guy on the cusp of a life changing contract. No hate for him personally.

Hate for him drawing fouls like he's Dame or Ja.

"Moments'

Just over five weeks....

 

[fightinfunbags]

Awww, somebody doesn't like having his narrative shot down.

Well that hasn’t happened. All I see is a bunch of Lakers fans screamin Nah Uh! while most everyone else just grew tired of the conversation.

Its yet to be disproven

He’s better than they are.

So you're angry at him.... because he's trying to be a good player?

Is he not allowed to try to draw fouls? Or you you have to be a top 3 pick to gain your approval?

"Moments'

A quarter of the season

1/4 of a season vs. 3/4 of the season.

I see math isn't a strength for you either.

Apparently going from 3 free throw attempts to 7 is very very suspicious and means the refs want the Lakers to win.

I gave the list earlier

If this was a non Laker you all would see the point.

 

[trojanfan12]

And all I see is a bunch of crybabies whose teams can't come close to the Lakers success so they are resorting to conspiracy theories, strawman arguments and cherry picked stats.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

If he was a non Laker you wouldn't be so angry.

But apparently the NBA wants the Lakers to win so I guess we'll never know.

Shit, if they wanted the Lakers to win, why not ignore that foul on AD last night?

Calling that put the game in jeopardy.
