    The Lakers jumped out to a crisp 31-5 lead over the HAWKS Sunday

    I find myself recording and watching the weekend games. Showtime

    Not showtime and really more of a grind it out, defensive team which is probably what LeBron needs at this point of his career.

    The Lakers did a great job of getting defenders to put around LeBron. Both Green and Bradley are very good defenders and they can get hit from the outside, especially Green.

    With LeBron and AD, they can bring the Clips and other high scoring teams to a halt by throwing it into the post and making it a half court game.

    It’s Lakers/Clippers. Let’s not kid ourselves and pretend the Rockets don’t do this and dominate the regular season every year. They will Roocket it up in post season unless someone bangs trash cans and lets them know when the other team will switch up from zone to man.

    I haven't been paying attention at all and couldn't name either roster but if this is the case I like #myLakers. Clippshow are historically the Mets or the COOG and will blow it until they prove otherwise.
    I know we are supposed to think Paul George is a loser, which he has been, but they have great role players around Kawhi and PG13. They probably need to still get a good defensive center. Harrell is much improved the last few years and a beast down low but they need someone to compliment him.

    George is a loser

    Joining a team doesn't change that

    We'll see if Kawhi can carry him

    just let me enjoy my regular season natty
    I like this Rockets team much more than their teams in the last. They have continuity with a lot of their core and despite his flaws, Westbrook’s athleticism and motor was needed and is an upgrade over what Chris Paul brought.
    It looks like Capela has actually finally taken the leap he was supposed to have taken the last year or two. This is the first year I can remember the players saying they need to get their shit together on defense. It seems like Harden and Russ are at the perfect points in their careers to play together and Russ has no problem letting Harden go (and is still getting his numbers).

    Showtime was built on defense and rebounding

    That's how you get the run game going

    Being the Clippers Kawhi will blow out his knee and George will hurt his vagina again

    Still convinced the Lakers could use Jamal Crawford to inject some offense into the lineup when the shots aren’t falling. LeBron should appreciate what a veteran scorer can do for his ring chances.

    This is stupid and if Crawford wasn’t from Seattle you wouldn’t be saying this. He wouldn’t make them any better. He’s not good. He’s also over 40. His game is fun to watch at times but he’s never been an actually good player.

    Dude, he’s 55th all time in scoring.

    Ray Allen was old too, and not exactly a defensive force.

    You can’t compare the two. One is a hall of famer and perennial All Star. The other maxed out as a 6th man that never won anything.

    Crawford has an aesthetically pleasing game. He was never efficient and I’m not sure he really made any team of his markedly better, even in his prime. He’s been done for three years. The Lakers and nobody else want him for a reason. You’re crazy to think he would get any minutes on the Lakers in the playoffs.

    You would not be hyping Crawford as being able to help if he wasn’t from Seattle. That’s a fact.

    He’s an offensive force. He’s a instant bucket from anywhere in the court. Period.

    The Lakers are built for defense and LeBron.

    At some point in the season, it won’t be enough. That’s why you have a gunner on the roster like Crawford to give you a spark. It’s called versatility.

    He was also one of the few Clippers that didn’t shit the bed in the playoffs during their lob city days.

    Yeah he’s from Seattle. He also scored 50 in a game last year. Carmelo didn’t do that.

    Dallas has the whitest team since Bird and the Celtics

    I want the Lakers to trade for JJ Barea. AD and him in the pick in roll em with the second unit would dominate. He’s not playing much for Dallas, but is the same player he always is when he does.

    Dallas probably keeps him because they are good and will have him ready when one of their young back ups shows they can’t cut it come playoff time.

    What happened to not picking up defensive liabilities???

    Wouldn’t have believed it in October but the Lakers are the team to beat in the here and now. Gettin lotsa guys involved and somehow Vogel has got good minutes out of Howard and KCP almost every night.

    They can lock anybody down in the last 3 minutes most games. That’s gonna be valuable in the playoffs? Bron looks good, even on a night where sucked pond water the first half.

    Clips are right there though. It will be interesting to see if Montrezl will be effective against the Lakers on Xmas. If AD can slow him down, the Clips will have trouble against the Lakers when it counts.

    In the first game Lou Williams was the difference for the Clips. They have a stronger bench even though the Laker bench is stronger than I thought it would be
