Vogel....

This dude better get his fucking act together. He is about 10-levels above T-Lue but that ain't hard to do.

Look, LBJ looked like he was 50 but I'm not worried about him, he's a known quantity and he won't play so dumb in the playoffs, Lover Boy, go to the fucking rim and kill them all.

Not Scapegoating but Vogel better start reading the game better and help us out.

Lakers last 4 losses have been to teams with a combined 92-34 record thus far this season. It's an early bump in the road, but they will turn things around. So you can still be Garth.

Not only do I think by Seasons End UniBron willl clearly be the best team in the LG, I think they are right now. Vogel is concerning me a bit w/ his In Running decisions; that's all.

Garth Brooks?

What teams are they more likely to play in the playoffs - the T-wolves, Bulls, and Knicks or the 92-34 teams?

What if they were going through this funk with 6 games left and yet still fully healthy only vying to grab a #1 or #2 WC seeding? It's too early to be pushing the panic button.

FW, are you blind? I didn't think I would be saying this, this early but UniBron is the best team in the LG. AD was missing in one game, LBJ another. The game LBJ missed they got blown out at HM as a 3-point favorite to a team they washed, in Denver. They will smack the living shit out of Denver in the Playoffs, not even worried.

13-Klaws is better than us? What fucking game were you watching?

Let me be clear, UniBron destroys all but Vogel is doing dumb shit that is not helping us. He needs to get his head out of his ass and respond to what is going on in front of him.

You, Me, FW, LBJ and AD would win 50-games in this LG.

I saw the GOAT pass off at the end of the game instead of going to the hoop. I sat the Lakers blow a 15-point lead. The Lakers can have a better record, yet match up poorly with the Clippers.

Other way around.

I can't control Frank's idiocy. Becky and I would have gotten the W, I can't guarantee that but there were headscratching moves made.

UniBron looked terrible in the last few minutes; agreed there.

I'm not worried about him, I'm more worried about our closing lineups this idiot is choosing. WTF? Like I said, I don't dislike Frank but I don't get it either. Congrats, you're still 1 in the West but you, me, Jimmy, AD and LBJ would make the playoffs.

I have no post up game anymore. I would make a great Bull though.

I think James is one of the best of all time but I was really impressed when he took the time to meet a 17 year old kid who will probably die of Cancer this past week....respect to LeBron....

They do have 2 more meetings remaining against each other. A lot can happen between now and the end of April. But rather than LeBron take matters into his own hands, his position and supportive stats maintain his unselfishness even down the stretch.

Thank you for recognizing who he is and I am glad he has never changed his game for his critics.

LBJ averaged 31-points his Senior year in High School and 21-points his Rookie year in the NBA. If you're telling me he couldn't have got 45+ as a Senior, I'm telling you that you are fucking nuts.

He's not perfect but he's a good dude, I don't understand the vitriol he gets and never will.
 

Almost Allright

GO Bucks!!!
Lakers looked like they didn’t know where they wanted to go with the ball the last 5. Very stagnant and felt they lost AD. Perhaps they’ll learn from this one that dump it to LB stand and watch doesn’t cut it.

This has been a reccuring motif, late. I don't get it. Run your offense and if in the late closing moments you want to ISO LBJ so he can score/create or do the same w/ AD, no issue, but why the fuck are we abandoning what got us there? They basically controlled the whole game.

Frank is fucking playing Rondo late; that doesn't help, ecspecially the floor spacing and defensively. I like Rondo and there is a role for him.... run the fucking 2nd unit and if while doing so you turn into Playoff Rondo, then you can help close that game but he was nondescript in this game. Where was Javele. late? I understand Dwight plays late for us when we don't go small and he has been a blessing but Javele was having a bigger impact during this particular game.

lakers are good but i don't think they can win it all. 0-3 vs clippers and bucks says something . A plus is 2 of 3 were on road. Then you have the health factor.???

If healthy, they work them both, IMO. 13-Klaws is an opponent worthy of defeating but they aren't UniBron; I think we saw that. However, some terrible Game Mgt. from Frank and terrible play late, fucked them. I want to be fair, LBJ was clearly not 100% but I don't give a fuck, don't be jacking up 100 three's when you clearly don't have it. I'm not worried about LBJ, he's a known quantity, seen this movie 1000 times.... Frank is concerning me w/ very questionable rotations. It's not going to be easy to declaw our foes but highly manageable.

i admit too early to tell 100% but the way it looks now they could be a underdog

Can never be 100% sure but I don't see anyone, 13-Klaws, GianSolo, etc beating them 4x in 2 weeks. They aren't even clicking on all cylinders, no one is yet but they have the biggest room for growth and their ceiling is the highest.

He's got a good team around him, I just like the nickname :)

Was Lebron serious the other day that he wants to play with his son Brony? He's only 15.

That’s all fine and good, but facilitators don’t get to the FT line passing.

I told you they were not that good

That makes zero sense. Then why did you bet O51' games?

They have to win at least 52 for you to win that bet, If they win 51, you lose that bet. Why on Earth would even contemplate making that bet if they are not that good?

You're fucking insane and your resulting. At this very moment, they are better than 13-Klaws, right the fuck now. You saw that and if you didn't, I don't know what you were watching. Becky and I would take them out in 6 games, tops. God forbid we get another 65% of the season to tinker around and get going.

At 24-7 and on pace to win nearly 64, it's not even an issue to give this a second look, yet.

No guarantee he makes them when he gets there either. If there ever was an inconsistent blemish to hit them at a clutch clip.

He can't hit a FT to save his life but he is actually a clutch FT-shooter in the sense that he hits them at a higher clip than his base rate, in clutch situations.

Markets go episodically haywire and that # went as low as 48' according to Pete, which is fucking insane. You were probably looking at about a 66% edge; at 51', probably about a 50% edge, maybe a little less. If they are healthy, they fly by those #'s easy and I'm not past-posting, I said UniBron would burn down the LG the moment they formed.

Pete bet Over 51' wins. My question to him is, if they really aren't that good, why would he do that? It makes no sense.
Because given the fact that they signed Anthony Davis in the offseason, even being able to afford 30 losses seems like a bargain.

Fuck yeah, Jimmy, I agree. That's insane to think UniBron is losing 30 games. You, me, Fair, LBJ and AD wouldn't hit that over but we would make the Playoffs. However, Pete is saying they are not that good.... teams that aren't good don't win 52+ games.

He should be knocking them down at a minimum 75 percent, a figure he hadn't touched in 6 years. And you can get to the charity stripe 10-12 times. He couldn't shine Kobe's shoes on a 15 foot set shot.

Even if they somehow don't hit the Over, crazy shit happens, one should have already made thier money back, plus interest betting Lakers ML early in the season.... they were being priced up as 50 to 54 win team, which if healthy, which they were early, is ridiculous.
