    Yeah but I feel like they had a lot better movement and were generating a lot of assists the past month or so. It didn't look this bad the past month or so, during that streak.

    2021 Draft
    We should've drafted Evan Mobley or Scottie Barnes and Quentin Grimes over Josh Christopher

    2022 Draft
    Should've drafted Benedict Mathurin over Jabari

    2023 Draft
    Amen was a great pick
    Sasser instead of Cam Whitmore

    I hate that call on Okogie, he has a right to be in that space, not his fault the offensive player ran into him.

    Apparently. You are supposed to be fully self sufficient on your young guys after five years of brutal rebuilding in a “non developmental year”. But heck what do I know “it’s not our year”.

    Lebron just scored on Josh. Why didn't Reed play better defense on that play?

    I'd imagine the Laker forum going twice as hard on their team as we are...

    Us: Ime sucks, we shouldn't be down to this Lakers team at all

    Them: How we only up 2 with no KD...

    Which forum gonna lose their collective minds more? Stay tuned....
