For all of the Drummond slander he’s been pretty good offensively so far
Yea Drummond is productive. He just looks like somebody who has never won shyt or played for anything. He's got a lot of bad habits that he has to break and break fast.

He's a 20 minute player. However, if he just played TOUGH and SMART he'd be such a major contributer on the team. He just doesnt always do that. Cause he never really had to.

Maybe it was 4 seconds but if there was time to miss a wild shot without hitting rim, let the ball bounce around, gather it again, shoot again, and have it go through the hoop without the shot clock going off, then there definitely was time to make a different choice than that wild bullshyt.
No Doris was asking why THT went back up with the ball instead of pulling it back out to drain clock. She wasn't questioning why he shot the initial shot but why he went back up with it and took the tough shot over Jokic. She was totally wrong and didn't realize that the clock didn't reset on the initial shot.

That’s not what she said. Were you even listening? :gucci: She said he should have ran out the clock and that’s why I called her retarded.
I heard her say, "Time is on your side", meaning he had time and didn't have to throw up that shot. I didn't hear the part where she said to run out the clock. If I misinterpreted her then my bad.

Hypothetically..

(Lets say its the last game of the regular season.)

Would we tank to play the Nuggets in the 1st round? Or say fukk it just play the Clippers (I know with the fluid standings it may very well be the opposite)

Right, the Lakers still don’t have a defensive big

I definitely want the Nuggets. The Clippers shooting scares me. I'd rather the Lakers play them later so they have chance to build more chemistry together.

For all the THT hate, he’s really the one that brings the constant endless pressure every game on the opposing team’s defenses.

He’s doing a hell of a job for a 20 year old rookie with heavy ball handling & scoring duties on a team with championship expectations
I like him a lot. Three things I hope they can develop with him: three ball, passing ability and defense. Even if he doesn't get a great jumper but becomes a better passer and defender (those long arms make him an ideal perimeter defender), he's gonna be an impact player.

Maybe he tops out as a super 6th man but he certainly looks like he's gonna make Kuzma very expendable.

Nuggets but we’re in no position to tank. We could realistic be anywhere from 5th to 7th.

We can't tank for matchups because of the play in.

Lol I love coming in this thread and see how it goes from one day, blow the whole thing up, to this team really good etc after a win lol. That's when you know that fanhood shyt real real it'll have ya emotions all over the place. I think how everyone outside of lwo and bron fans ready to write the lakers off, I have a funny feeling come playoff time these boys gonna remind everyone who the defending champs are.
