Gobert suspended for play-in and number immediately went from 6.5 to 8. In reality they're going to miss McDaniels more from the outside. Gobert has been a dog all year.

The market is treating Lakeshow like 2019-20 version. Market obviously doesn't watch a lot of their late starting PST games.

Just out of principle I put a peanut on SAC to win West at +2800. They had the 3rd best record in the West. Lakers in play-in are +650?!

Lakers so disjointed. Russell acquistion looked good until tonight, and this is how his season will be remembered. Take care, Lake show!

Yep. They lose and NOLA or OKC no gimme.

The offense flows better without Lebron but fans are blinded by his highness.

Lebron backing in a defender from 35 ft out while everyone watches. 🤦

Bricks killing the Lakers on both sides of the court. -25 +/- right now.

I shake my head that Westbrook is favored to win the 6th man award. He was 2-16 yesterday in Indy. Powell lays over him. You want a spark off the bench, not a guy looking for triple double numbers.
I would put Malcolm Brogdon ahead of either of them
Brogdon won the 6th MOY award the other day, and very much deserved

I don't understand Dillon Brooks. They have a better team. Why give Lakers bulletin board material. If you heard AD post-game, it fired them
up. Now MEM in trouble for series.

No surprise former players are in the dark, especially Pierce.
I disagreed with him at the time
Pierce thinks Denver has a better chance of losing in the first round than Sacramento? Hmm, PP is my guy, but I'll have to respectfully disagree with him here, the funny thing is the Kings could be the second seed, they could play the Warriors who will be seeded much lower, and the Kings won't just be the dog, but likely a significant one. I would also say right now Memphis with all their issues are more likely to lose in the fist round than Denver

Wow! They cleaned house. Entire assistant staff gone too including respected Phil Handy who I thought would be the next coach.

Lakers were not that far off. They led for 80 percent of the minutes v. Denver. They didn't get clutch baskets when needed.

I pray the rumors aren't true re JJ Redick.

Does it really matter who is the coach for LeBron?
I think it does, he's only played for one great coach in his career, and during those four years he reached the finals every year and cut down the nets twice, the rest of his career has been filled with the likes of Paul Silas, David Blatt, Luke Walton, Frank Vogel, and Darvin Ham, Ty Lue and Mike Brown are the only other coaches who were even decent, the rest of them are/were below average

Lua is probably gone at Clipper nation. I'd love to see him switch locker rooms and reunite with LeBron.
That's who my money would be on, last night he was asked about the Laker rumors, his response was something like, It's nice to be wanted, but my intention is to be here, blah, blah, he could have shot down the rumors, but didn't, if LeBron wants him, he'll be there, of course that's assuming LeBron is a Laker next year which is likely

Lots of talk about James going to the Sixers but I believe Philly signs George…
I wonder of Embiid finally reaches the point where he asks out, he's played 8 years and the Sixers have never made it out of the second round, at some point he might think he can't win a Chip in Philly and might want to take his talents elsewhere
