Funny how a few pages ago Longhorn was bitching at us and acting like a pussy for us trying to play the hypothetical trades game.

Now he’s the one trying to trade Zion to the Hawks, which also is going off topic in our Lakers thread that he wanted to remain solely about the Pond Show

But Zion is happy, and Zion is not a dump on anybody.

Lonnie Walker and Lebron James out tonight . . . so rolling with a starting 5 of Westbrook, Beverly, Brown, Davis, Jones? If Darvin Ham has any sense of humor he’ll be dressed tonight like Lou Brown from major league.

Davis won't finish the game. Guarantee he gets hurt without his daddy to scare him into finishing.

Looks like AD has now been moved to GTD for tonight's game.

i missed this the other day

quote:
Anthony Davis on how other teams see the Lakers, even with their 2-6 start: "We have a lot of guys that teams have to worry about. We’re not the team that our record shows. But any given night our team can play very well and explode ... I know teams fear us, for sure."

No, Beverly has a stomach bug and is out too. He and Walker both have it.

Turner is a good player. He’s hitting threes tonight but was 30 percent coming in. The main issue is injuries for him. He’s a quality player when healthy.

No lebron, no Lonnie Walker, no Patrick Beverly and the lakers still started with Westbrook on the bench. That’s a bold strategy there, LA. Not sure that is going to be well received.

Jazz with a 42-point 1st quarter, up 8. NAW into the game.

Edit: NAW not helping us. He still can't navigate a screen on defense, and he just passed the ball right to Westbrook, which led to a Lakers fast break.
