    Those Lakers were ridiculously good. People need to come to terms on this.

    If only one of them were going off, not a big deal. Lebron, AD, and even Rondo going off, it was way too much to handle.

    Covering Lebron AND AD alone is ridiculously difficult. You just add Rondo going off to that equation, where no one had a chance to even get ready for it, it was a wrap. Let alone all the other pieces that just played the right way.

    Another factor is we were really tired by then. OKC gave us a run for the money on a 7 game series. It took defense to beat them.

    We haven't even seen a full season Wall/Cousins for a long time. Pray their legs can even get to the damn playoffs. Otherwise we sit 30+ mil on the bench.

    No....................The question is how many games would we have got off the Lakers with the current roster as it is set up today as healthy as the players are now. Not what they were like 3 months ago

    What I would give to be on the same high that those people are on who voted we'd eliminate the Lakers with this current team.

    My oh my the delusion of some fans here.

    It's a little admirable.

    A far lot more embarrassing though.

    Honestly. jesus christ.

    At some point you need to ask yourself. If he had the skill sto slow down AD. Why on God's green earth did he not warrant game time?

    With that line of thought you're going to come to a crossroads mighty soon.

    I didn't even get to the laughable subject of PJ slowing down Lebron.

    Bruh you could sell that cush for a mighty high price.

    You and I both watched the games and in the feeds I was asking for Bruno. Bruno is a better than average 1 on 1 defender. He slowed the raining MVP GA down to just 15 points in Greece last summer. We get our teeth kicked in and MDA did nothing to stop it. Maybe poor coaching is why he got so little time. A coach that believes in a system more than his players. As far as Tucker I used the word interesting on purpose. I think this year’s team will make many adjustments and so you are more than right , we are at a crossroads.

    Even for your typical premature threads, this one was quite embarrassing.

    Our Matchup with AD is better. The Boards would have evened out which would have sided in our favor. We would have more control of the tempo and the defense would have been vastly superior. The loss of Covington is the real problem now we must get that and a real backup point guard
