Ham has figured out how to win with this team.

Westbrook as a sixth man is perfect for him.

James and Davis are still elite when healthy

Schroeder, Bryant, and Walker look like good playoff role players.

If they package Beverly, Nunn, and a pick for Bogdonovic or Heild then they will make top 6.

I can't wait for the Schroder huge regression to the mean.

He's really not good, and it'll show up soon.

Could see this one coming a mile off...soon as I saw LeBron was "iffy" for the Nuggets tonight. Nuggets now a 13 point favorite.

Really Lebron should not play against Denver and neither should Westbrook.

They are not winning with them. May as well rest and if Davis comes back before the 76ers game they could run off a string of four more wins in a row.

With LeBron out, it's a great chance for Westbrick to get another one of his patented "triple doubles"...would luv to get some prop bets down on him tonight...if he plays.

Halfway thru the season. Don’t look now but the Lakers are one game out of 6th place and being our first rd matchup in the 3v6 series. They were supposed to deliver Wemby but I guess beating that arse in 4 is an ok consolation prize

The Lakers were 21-20 on 1/09/22 and ended up in the 8th spot in the draft.

I think Dennis and Thomas are definitely a big part of the Lakers improving. They weren’t available for the first half of the year. Neither are great, but they are actual NBA level players. The Lakers weren’t able to trot out 7-8 true NBA level players in the first 6 weeks of the season.

Mavs
76ers
Rockets
Kings
Grizz
Blazers
Clip
Spurs
Celtics
Nets

They could easily go 3-7 or 2-8.

Also....Somehow, I swear they have already played the Spurs 6 times.

i looked. gsw is 6th.
if gsw is healthy it will be a very difficult series even with home court for 7th game. curry, klay, wiggins, poole. maybe baldwin will have a role by the playoffs. fwiw 6 9 baldwin is son of coach, has a rather complete game. played on injured ankle last year college.
drafted 2022.28.
like when gsw took green already injured, got him cheap. a gamble we have yet to see become big payoff in baldwin. now possible though.
even without eye opening rookie shooter gsw can upset pels @ 3 seed. id rather play the lakers.

Considering both of those 2 you mentioned are both "shooters" yes, they need that very badly...


Very interesting though. The shite show of the NBA season has just been that... very

Just sitting back and watching it all unfold.

FG%: 39.1
3pt%: 33.3

You're a joke that keeps writing itself. These are his stats this year. Where exactly does he excel shooting the ball?

Normally I'd say since it's in quotations it's a joke, but then I realized who posted it. Beverly may have been in the past, but like your stats portray, he is not this year.

Pat Bev has been an excellent spot up 3 point shooter for the past 3-4 years

He’s declined quite a bit this year. If his percentage is 33% now, that means he’s on a tear. Bc at one point this season, the dude was shooting like 12% from 3.

I guess the rest of the Nuggets were on fire because Jokic only had 5 FGA last night. Crazy stat line, 14/11/16 on 5-5 shooting.

Getting Porter back and Murray back in form has completely changed them. They look like legit contenders now.
