@WorldWideWob JJ was great, just shorthanded overall
Bron did great on carrying at 41, FO failed him for his entire LA tenure
Reaves not a supermax player
Rui getting paid
it's goodbyeton
Kennard contract mildly tanked
Luka back healthier next season
Giannis/AR trade or FA hopes for depth
@brawadis as much as I would like to admit that they are a contender, injuries and age keep me from saying that.
if they would make it through the season without a scratch, they could contend. if not, then this season might be a bust for them.
@HassanC2244 @HOBricks could've been the goat if it weren't for his back injuries. pops used to watch him and used to hate him (he's an LA fan since '75)
@HassanC2244 @HOBricks well, anyone could have their opinions, I guess. respect Bird for that, tho. not a lot of old heads talk good about this game no more
@HassanC2244 @HOBricks yeah, he played badly in the finals. straight-up. something that we can agree on. but what we can't agree on is whether it was 07 or 08, he always had the worse team. Bird said it, his teammates only look good because they play with him. just like Spo's black magic, lol.
@HassanC2244 @HOBricks a 22 year old star facing a packed squad and the would-be winningest coach without a championship caliber vet alongside him. wonder how much pressure and weight that puts on him.
@HassanC2244 @HOBricks - popularized and brought the triangle system into the nba
- players became more competitive
- mj and the bulls got dogged in '86-'89 postseasons
- Phil won 11 (6 straight) chips as HC (Brown: 0 titles and a single finals appearance)
