@terrencesherry @LakersNation It’s true Baylor was not part of the 33 game winning streak but he was part of the team for 5 games and retired. #5 Jim McMillian took his spot in the starting lineup. The ironic thing about that team was that it had a Boston Celtics coaching staff, Bill Sharman + KC Jones
@Tim_NBA Just think what it could have been if he was starting instead of DLo. Take just 2 turnovers away each game because he making those passes to guys not named AD or Lebron till the 4th quarter. Statistics don’t show the reasoning behind the facts.
@TheDunkCentral@BovadaOfficial Betting everything on Phil Handy. He’s the one that Lebron and the team have a working relationship with. He’s in LeBron’s ear every timeout when they’re walking to the bench. Rob will pull the trigger after the road trip ends.
@Brad_Deuster@Ken_Rosenthal@TheAthletic And you have the entire population of Japan (125m) watching Dodger games on free TV. Baseball is Japans national game and they follow their stars
@SportsD24733772 @Ken_Rosenthal@TheAthletic Yamamoto is getting a $50m signing bonus and that’s why he only have the two opt out years. The opt outs are player only and not team opt outs
@adam_naugle@BRWalkoff Blame the absurd money being given on the commissioner and players association. There is NO cap so large market teams always win. You can’t have parity without it.
We say the same thing when teams throw out signing bonus money to drafted high school players.
@LakersLegacyPod We have role players playing star minutes
We have stars playing role player minutes
We have talent rotting on the bench with NO minutes
We have starters who needs to be benched
@SamQuinnCBS Because Gabe Vincent is hurt and the lakers didn’t have another ball handler to run the second unit.
DLo should be benched.
Max Christie can run the second unit but can’t get any playing time.
We have a blind coach who can’t see beyond 5 people
@DanRantz99@WFAN660@sal_licata Playing in Shohei’s shadow???
Big difference in culture and upbringing than what your use to. It’s not about being #1, it’s about making your team #1.
#18 in Japanese baseball is reserved for the teams ACE. Ohtani didn’t choose to have that number. You cast your own shadow
@DanRantz99@WFAN660@sal_licata They did make two trips to the Yankees. The Yankees didn’t move the needle.
If he chose NY, Yamamoto looses a ton of sponsors from Japan. All of the Dodgers games will be shown in Japan on live free TV. That’s worth tens of millions to Yamamoto.
@notlakersgm AD has help but they’re sitting on the bench. You have Christie who can defend, rebound and hit the 3pt shot rotting on the bench. You have Wood’s who can give you minutes either playing at the 5 resting AD or with AD. Use your bench
@jeffwhitex @TheHerd@ColinCowherd Baseball is now a real global brand. Can you see the formation of WBL? World Baseball League
Keep hating because without a salary cap large market teams keep winning. Blame that on the commissioner and the players association.
