Oof

I ran this through my Lebron translator.

Message reads "FUCK THEM PICKS. MAKE CHANGES NOW"

 

[DJ Fieri]

Unrealistic trade expectations, inept front office and Davis grabbing a body part every trip down the floor.

No bueno.

Hey, what’s all the talk about Westbrook dancing when he was supposedly injured? I saw a video of this Laker fan losing his shit saying he was crip walking into the building….lol

I haven’t seen any video to confirm this though.

A back injury is no joke, AD played 37 minutes last night.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he is now willing to play through the pain and man up. He played pretty well last night, not gonna knock him for that L.

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Dude.

Since 2010 he's done everything he could to manipulate every roster he's been on. Now he's pushing 40 and squeezed his current team out of assets. As a result, he's saddled with a supporting cast that's only marginally better than the Pacers right now...

He deserves everything that comes to him.

Oh stop it, James is another great about to leave and he deserves every accomplishment that is praised.

He’s Fuckin’ 40 still balling on a trash team right now.

I HOPE he goes back to Cleveland on a min contract just to play with all their talent.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I cannot wait to see LeBron's body language if AD has to sit out a few games- which is inevitable if he is already having back issues in Game #4.

LeBron- cant even look at RW without getting mad- and then Lonnie Walker, Pat Beverely, Reeves, etc......

not great bob.

Lonnie Walker? Have you watched him play? He's actually played well......

Oh, I forgot. This is your usual anti Laker, Heat, and Wizards tomfoolery.

Carry on.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Trading for Russ was roster crippling.

Not keeping Caruso was the death kneel.

Still, if they nab 2 of Josh Hart, Seth Curry, Bogdanovic, Trent Jr, Turner, Kyle. Kuzma, Dillon Brooks with that 35 mil this Summer, they can get back on track.

But, would they punt on another season when Lebron is just getting older, Davis is getting more gimp?

I loved Hart's hustle the first time he was with the Lakers.....but he's not the answer.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Oh just wait until the Nets lose a few more, it will really get fun.

Yep.....LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Totally agree.

Start or bust.

So he's John Wall'ing himself.....LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yep this roster is going nowhere. Outside of playing solid defense, there's been nothing to be happy about

The Nets are holding their beers.

I wouldn't even call it solid defense.

Teams are making sloppy turnovers, which is expected this early in the season, and they're being attributed as "steals" and "blocks". Other than AD and maybe Pat Bev, I haven't seen anything to be optimistic about.

Come Christmas time, this same D will be middle of the pack at best if they continue to play this way.

Not sure how this is relevant

Carry on.

I think he is basically saying everything around Lebron right now is either broken or you can’t fix it…it’s bad and very true

Not sure how you defend that roster. Poor construction of a roster for a 2nd straight. This time at least there is a possible fix but can't wait too long to pull the trigger

this is the thing DJ

Walker is shooting 43.5% from the field and 17% from 3. 3 rebonunds, 2.5 assists in over 32 minutes a game.

objectively- thats not very good.

but when you put a 5 next to a bunch of 2's- the 5 looks better.

@Shanemansj13 the new DJ translator, confirmed!

Lol teams could literally play a 3-2 college defense on this roster…

 

[WiggyRuss]

Watching games vs reading stats is why you don't realize the disease that is PT for Westbrook.

believe me i get it- but then I see Brown Jr and Toscano Anderson etc....and Im like.......would I rather hope RW somehow miraculously figures it out or play those guys?

and I mean- at least - even if its just a sliver of a sliver- I gotta think RW at least has a ceiling to him that is theoretically possible- even if it probably never happens.

 

[ChrisperJ10]

This team isn’t going ANYWHERE while constructed.

Jeanie my dear, time to pull the trigger and get some picks.

Don’t worry, your rebuild won’t last for long. It’s LA!

4 fucking games. You think he's going to shoot that for the season? If he played for the Cavs.....you'd be saying small sample size.

Care to bet he doesn't shoot both those numbers for the season? LOL.
