Having Quincy Pondexter is probably bigger tbh.


No question. I haven't forgotten Mr. Q-Pon from 2013 I still say if y'all had had him, y'all would have beaten OKC in round 1.

Would've definitely helped. Having Calathes would've helped helped as well, but he just couldn't live with the shame of being bald. Really hoping this 13 game suspension of his goes by without one of our PG's rolling an ankle or something.

So when is Patty Mills gonna be back for y'all?

Not soon enough for my liking Latest projections I've seen have him returning sometime around late January/early Feb. Although I wouldn't be surprised if the team holds him out longer. Gonna suck not having his energy and instant offense backing Tony off the bench. Cory Joseph is no Patty Mills.

At least it looks like The Baker's Man is keeping himself in good shape, though. Guess we'll have to see how long it takes his shooting stroke to return when he does see the floor again.

Ugh injuries blow. I enjoy watching him bomb it from anywhere with reckless abandonment.

Then what is the plan then? They might be the worst team in the Western conference this season. There are a lot of things they could have done to avoid being so terrible, but they didn't.


I wasn't questioning anybody. I'm flabbergasted(horrible word) at how this Laker team is shaping up. What the hell were they thinking?!

You think they gave Kobe as much money as they did only to shite tank this season and next on purpose?

they gave kobe all that money for a retirement tour and to have a name while they went through a rebuild

If literally nobody wanted to coach this team...why in the hell would they waste their time with Kobe?

for the first time ever, the lakers are not the #1 show in town. they are also a team built on star power. they couldn't afford a rebuild without an all time franchise great like kobe (assuming they had the option to keep him, which they did)

A little amendment of my last statement. He should add more to his game. Because now he is predictable. A lot of his "harden steps"(as they have been dubbed) lead to threes. He loves that. But he most definitely was not slumping going into the post season. I had a thread on another forum when he had a 15 game stretch of

W/L- 10-5

27.8 PPG 4.7 RPG 8.1 APG 1.9 SPG

FG%-45 3pt FG%-41 FT%-90


That was without Dwight.
The last 10 games of the season he was not playing that well.

He was only shooting 41% from the field and 35% from 3. His eFG% was only .482.

All of those are below his career averages of 46% fg%, 37% 3pt%, and .529 eFG%.

He was in a shooting slump. The only reason he still scored a lot of points is because he went to the free throw line a lot. His TS% was .617, right in line with his career TS% of .618. That's due to the amount of free throws he took.


The last 10 games of the season, he was in a slump.

And how are you going to act like you know? I watched every single Rockets' game last year, and I'm positive that you didn't.

Name recognition?

He is a complete idiot, and a terrible basketball coach.

Not to mention a complete prick. He acted like a complete tool to the fans in Lafayette when they were down here
