If you’re a fan of tiny chuckin’ guards that can’t shoot, he’s an all-timer.

He can pass with the best of his class if not the best. His height and shooting are a worry though

Giving him better odds than ulis for sure

You confuse rooting against the Lakers as anything else . An AAU team could be playing y’all, and I will make a case.

All Russ DID have to do was not be terrible. He was even worse than terrible. And he’s been a great #2, when he was with KD.

Those 3rd quarters he played when the rockets were up double digits and he himself was responsible for blowing those leads was wild to see. You, and all y’all in here were cheering him being on the floor...to the rockets detriment and the Lakers benefit. And you a Russ fan.

It’s still the CovidCup* / BLM Invitational at the end of the day

We knew you was BS bruh.

You was tryna dress it up as a real analysis though.

If Stephgod had won in the bubble you would be acting like

" Shordy dummy really did it"

This man wavycrocket It's still in shambles after the Lakers championship last year. You hate to see it. Don't you have your own .500 team to worry about?

Trae is it incredibly talented player but he'd be very frustrating to play with. his biggest issues are that he doesn't play any defense and he freestyles way too often. The number of 35-ft threes he takes that are completely out of the offensive scheme are out of hand and frankly, the coach needs to curtail that stuff.

Those crazy three-pointers look great when he's hitting them but when he's missing, he effectively ruins the offense.

If Heat's run in the bubble can be asterisk'd then so can Lakers chip

But y'all want it to be one way

It came down to match ups with some luck in the bubble...just like in any other playoffs.

Who is trying to give Miami an asterisk for their bubble run?

Yea I thought that Heat tweet/article was garbage. The Bucks had a limited supporting around Giannis & Giannis himself has a large hole in his game that you can exploit with the right personnel and shut down him & the bucks offense. The Raps leading scorer was Siakam who also has a limited bag. The C’s two best players aren’t quite tier 1 superstars yet.

Miami beating any of those teams 4 times isn’t some huge upset that would never happen under normal circumstances. The Bucks players 2-12 aren’t that great, and Boston/Toronto don’t have a tier 1 guy.

When it's time to slander the Celtics or Clippers, you have EVERY receipt readily available! Every article. Every tweet. Every post. Every analyst hot take!

But now you clueless about who is trying to give Miami an asterisk.

 

[niceshoes247]

Miami didn’t want to see the lakers at staples or in Miami, LeBron won back to back In Miami..

There was only one team that would've had a shot at giving the Lakers problems in the Finals last year - Milwaukee. But they couldn't keep their winning pace and chemistry from start of the season to the finish line.

The Bucks last year were the only Eastern Conf squad that had the bigs, the size, the length, and perimeter players that matched up with the Lakers piece for piece.

 

[niceshoes247]

That’s better for Giannis
Best not to make it to the finals and ruin your legacy

This is it right here, but the "they really wasn't that good" gives 'them' enough clout to keep propping up the teams with more likeable stars

I think Lakers won that chip cause they were outright better than every other team, but the narratives are funny

Exactly. Better to lose in the second round than tarnish your finals record.

0 for 0 is better than 0 for 1 #jordanlogic

Speculation is that Caris either didn’t pass his physical or it raised enough red flags for Houston/Indy to be concerned. Deal, in theory, could be in jeopardy.
