Michael Jordan throughout entire career avg about 38.5 minutes a game when he played 70+ games in a single season

6 rings , 15 years , few injuries in a more physical game.

I pitched , the 5 th inning is where my body was ready to go rest of way

Now, they take them out of game which is absurd! Ya freekin get 5 days off before your next start

PATHETIC way of thinking. Ya know how many records will never be set or broken with this puzzy way of overthinking the game
One you get your 3rd wind you can go forever.

Well it was a bit of a joke, but I wonder what made her say that? I doubt anyone was really asking her to explain the trade right?

She was asked...she answered. It really hasn't been a secret (at least out here) that AD has been unhappy with playing the 5 spot so much. So, it really came as no surprise.

She's also correct that the Lakers looked like they were going to be entering the playoffs with basically the same team that Denver has owned for 3 years.

Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result...so they were trying to be a little more sane. lol

Makes sense, but it fell in their lap. No one needs to be told why it was a good move for the Lakers. That’s why it just seemed weird to me.

Very true…

The usual suspects on here hate thibs for playin his star players 36 minutes a game

No, no.

YOU hate Thibs.

And you hate him for all the wrong reasons.

His biggest flaw is overuse of his starters. And that is the one thing you believe he does right.

Bologna

I like thibs

He’s just not the coach for this team

His biggest flaw is he’s got nothin up his sleeve to steal a game or 2

Boston still the favorites to be due to their shooters

Yes and no on fell in their laps.

The reason they were able to put a deal together so quickly and quietly is because there had been previous conversations. The Mavs wanted AD and the Lakers asking price was always Luka...so when ownership told him to move Luka, he knew Pelinka would work with him and he could trust him to keep it quiet.

So, it fell in their laps in the sense that Nico unexpectedly called Pelinka to get the trade started, but the basics of the trade were already in place based on their previous conversations.

This seems fairly accurate, although I think I'd put the Warriors ahead of the Knicks.
