    Well for starters there's the whole - Harden was fine when Morey told him it won't work trading CP3 for Westbrook thing.

    But I digress.

    Some fans truly deserve the Tilman era and everything it's bringing already.

    Dude's an absolute clown and I cannot wait until he's no longer playing.

    Davis being hurt makes this interesting. I still think the Lakers find a way to win in 7, bc Lerbron.

    MDA refused to play Trez in the playoffs. Vogel refusing to play Trez meaningful minutes in the playoffs. Last year Doc was blasted by Clipper fans for playing Trez meaningful minutes in the playoffs because he was hurting the team. Is dude really a bum? I mean Kenneth Faried is completely out of the NBA and they’re practically the same type of player. Crazy how a guy can contribute regular season minutes and be such a net negative in the playoffs. Playoffs are really a different animal.

    Also surprised to see how much of a non factor Andre Drummond really is. Empty box score stats player. He’s also officially been exposed. I thought he might flourish playing with Lebron and cash in on another huge contract.

    Drummond has always been that player though--he was never an elite defender and his calling card was that he could gobble up boards with the best of them. The Lakers really needed to keep one of Dwight Howard or Jevale McGee because either player fits better alongside AD or LeBron.

    As for Montrezl, his days of wanting a huge payday are probably gone lol.

    The fact that your opponent can scheme for you specifically makes the playoffs very difficult for one dimensional role players like Harrell. If he played incredibly good D or could hit 3 point shots, then he would be a lot more valuable and useful. Sometimes it's just match up issues.

    I don't understand why Harrell was not played more when AD was out.

    LeBron is done. I'd be really surprised if this man can put up big stats and carry their team to the 2nd round at his age and post high ankle sprain. Just too old.

    If you play him at the 5 Ayton would absolutely destroy him. If you play him at the 4 alongside Drummond it would create spacing issues because Harrell can't shoot 3s.

    Seems like it's much tougher to win if AD doesn't get 20 free throws because he's yelling

    Yep.. And history hints that he'd be out by the end of 3rd period
