Doesn’t always work that way

They need to keep it up and cover also.

Indeed.

The Lakers lost to the 76ers without Embiid and PG. These guys are all pros for a reason.

They may approach the record for layup pts in a game

Shai with 21 in the 1st

GS is like the drunken whore at the bar throwing herself at any pecker that walks by her

True true

Warriors are down bad. They're turning into the dude on every hot girl's instagram going "hey girl, you sexy. I'll treat you right"

Those girls need love too

 

[thunderc]

Thunder just had a 7 pt possession

Seen this know multiple time in the last few days

Teams resting everyone against OKC and Cleveland

The Lakers have players that play Defense and score baskets as well. They are not as bad defensively as everyone seems to want to label them. Granted, they lost their best Defensive player in AD but they have Vanderbilt, DFS, Hayes, and on a lower level, Jemison, Reddish, and Kokolo. They also have Wood, who presently is coming back from injury. Hachimura does play some Defense but he primarily is a scoring Big.

Pelinka doesn't necessarily need to make a deal for another Center with as little assets he presently has for trading. The Lakers could go with what they got in Hachimura, DFS, Hayes, Reddish, Kokolo, Jemison, and eventually Wood to play at the 4's and 5's.

If the Lakers get the Doncic/Reaves/James scenario worked out to their general advantage, the Lakers could be there near the end of the season but we shall see.

This is a ridiculous claim

I do like that it allows the Thunder to rest some players but at the same time you want the competition. This is not a bunch I see getting stale though. I do expect the Thunder to keep resting guys while keeping a close eye on the lead they have in the west. Just makes sense.

Buddy Boeheim with 30 last night in the G league against the Lakers. 10 threes.

 

[packerzrule]

Bucks decided they won’t try tonight vs okc

They haven't tried for the last 2 weeks.

 

[thunderc]

The Lakers are 12th in ppg allowed. But, they have not played a game without AD yet. It's about to be a layup line vs us if Jaxson Hayes is our starting C. He is athletic but average at best on defense, AD was clearly our best defender. We are 19th in FG %. and 11th in 3%.

They need to add some defense at the trade deadline, especially a big since Hayes is no starter and Kolok and Jemison are both #3 C's at best or more likely G-Leaguers to get some serious minutes so they can improve. The only guard we have that is much of a defender is Vincent....Doncic, Reaves, Westside Knecht, Milton, Bronny? None of them exactly known for their defense. So a defensive guard would also be welcome.

This Rockets vs Knicks game is pretty good.
