Right…his HOF probability is 98.5%. He’s #9 on the Active list of DRtng at 102.8.
As far as offensive rating is concerned, AD all-time is just behind KD, Dame, Chef 👩🍳 Curry, James Harden. And he’s younger than all of them by the way. He’s been doing fine with the haters riding shotgun, in the back, pitting him, rubbernecking him…
We’re gonna be just fine everybody. 😂😂😂😂😂

Key point below from THT about continuing to develop his perimeter game/shooting. And even with that said, he was still often able to get to, and finish at, the rim despite teams loading up on his drives. https://t.co/ceWMqdiFdy

And we don’t deserve an explanation about these 6 games regarding THT but Talen sure as hell deserves the truth.
Rob and Frank weren’t on the same page with THT that’s a certainty. Hopefully fences were mended here on the decision to not give him what he deserved: playing time when it mattered.

Yup. I hope Talen got some closure about it at least. right or wrong decision. we both agree wrong in this circumstance.

I don’t blame us for keeping THT over a Lowry 1/2 season rental. You need that good young cost-controlled talent to build a roster. And Lowry was in “street clothes” to end the season anyway.

It’s a Series that basically comes down to this:
Phoenix and their strong defense and heady backcourt vs Denver’s Front Court.
Phoenix outlasts Denver. At some point in time Book will empty his clip and Jamal won’t be there to answer him. This is a team Murray is required for Denver to win.
Suns in 7

I agree. Malone basically said you could put the 3 Stooges and the ball boy out there with Jokic and it would be close.

Bravo to Sean and everybody in the Lakerholics family for sticking with us through a rough and tough season. Offseason is going to provide us with an unprecedented amount of great topics to discuss and debate.
And thanks to the Lakers players for going down fighting despite the insurmountable odds. Glad to see the best efforts under the worst circumstances. Next year will be better.

We won 4 of the next 5 games and win the NBA Title.
2008 was just humiliating. I drank two bottles of red wine to numb the pain of losing to them.
Those were Finals games. I could live with them because they busted their asses as hard as they could even if they were getting tailfeathers put up the tail pipe.
This is embarrassing on an effort level. In the two biggest games of they don’t show up. You don’t give away games in the playoffs. You can’t be thst arrogant. And if you are, shame on you. No effort in the two biggest games of the year.

This team looks gassed and beat down. Took all they had to get into the playoffs and neither James or Davis should have played this season after their injuries.

Pathetic! We got LBJ and a beat up AD and a group of tag-a-longs. Think we are going fishin tomorrow MM! I really feel bad for LBJ.
-

DJ, I’m just glad nothing happened to AD like KD because of this pressure BS. Changes around the margins need to happen injuries and Covid be damned. This was one of LeBron’s most flawed teams.

Jokic had help this series. Held scoreless in that 1st frame and Portland could only +4 themselves there. Better team won.

Sucks to lose its painful when youre a competitor and it doesnt happen for you. Dame seems to either carry his team through a couple rounds once in a blue moon just comes up short.

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Anthony Davis said he was “hurting” after playing 43 minutes in Tuesday’s 101-99 overtime win over the New York Knicks.
Davis told reporters he wasn’t sure about his availability for Wednesday’s clash with the Houston Rockets:
“I’m hurting. Not more so my body, just my groin got tight. … I’m not sure about [Wednesday]. I mean, I’m going to get treatment and see how I feel. I want to say I’m going to play, but it was really bothering me tonight. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow, and then later on in the day.
“Very, very strong possibility that I fight through it and play since the next day is an off day. But I also don’t want to have this lagging and then now I’m out for a couple games.”

He did not play against the Rockets. He wasn’t diagnosed with a Strain either…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
His knee is bothering him as well keep this is mind as well…He had 3 days off between games with Knicks and Pacers…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
He had 28/10/5 in 36 mins against Indy…He was very efficient. If he gives you 80% of that and someone anyone like Jamie says can score 15+ we might have a chance…

If it’s just not happening at Half, do the right thing and make sure AD doesn’t undergo unnecessary risk.

He’s a man. He’s not a “boy”
These media fools thinks it’s funny it’s a lark.
We can make light of him being 21 while still looking like we respect him.
Sports media are just as transparent, dull, out of touch and distrustful as the regular media.
I don’t watch corny debate shows (FS1, ESPN, etc)
I don’t watch the Jump, Inside the NBA, because they’re all about going with drama or going viral.
These platforms on social media do not live in the same reality. It’s the perception of a reality.

Kobe told Zach Lowe that the NBA media was “dead” and it completely went over his head.
love Zach but gee I wonder why he didnt get it?
Stephon Marbury also said guys who played other sports commenting on Basketball was is flagrant.
Being a great Tight End doesnt mean you can talk confidently about a game you didnt play.
Only in the media though, does this phenomenon takes place.
Electricians dont criticize plumbers.
Welders dont criticize Masons.
Corny AF.

When Sharpe went on a rant about a fake KD quote, that typifies their MO: drama real or fake

Then Shannon caught with his hand in the cookie jar…Does he admit he played himself or that he was wrong?…Nope…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
He tries to pivot and ask KD to talk to him privately. Why? Why not meet him on a street corner and talk?…because Shannon wouldn’t have home field, he also knows most logical peeps are not having his BS…and KD would humiliate him…

I rarely have the audio on when watching games. Much prefer music, and got tired of being told what I saw long ago. Commercials are much better that way too.

Rondo shooting daggers, KL is gone next season if they flame out…Knicks seem like a perfect fit. Thibbs kinda guy (except for the “maintenance”), Randle is really a #2 in the playoffs (as we’ve seen), and they could use a vet who’s gone all the way. Rose is awesome but has never won a cookie.

Yup. East Coast seems logical. Knicks and Heat. I agree with Jamie, going to the Knicks with Randle Mitch Robinson and IQ that’s close to the Raps makeup
