Randy Foye. What are your thoughts? As I suggested earlier, I think he is the "Tyronne Lue" figure for the team. Not even sure how he be, especially him being a back seater.
I really hope Billy Don has made 'OBVIOUS' implication and trades to negate GSW. Has WB ever been the guy to shut down anyone? I don't think so. I do hear a lot about him getting TD, and meaningless AS accolades, but has he really shut down KLAY or CURRY or anyone? I don't think so. WB spends too much time on wardrobes and commercials, he hasn't put in the old school method of time and effort into establishing himself defensively.
Funny. They keep talking about WB like he's the second coming, but all he does is exert his energy on the offensive end. What happened to his UCLA/DEFENSE discipline where he would lock peeps?

I don't care one way or the other about Foye. He won't make an impact that helps or hurts this year other than the Luxury tax savings. I don't think he's going to cut into any players minutes.
As far a Westbrooks defense, it's lack of effort or care. You can't tell me someone that athletic and smart can't get himself into position to stop somebody.
Barkley always made mention that Westbrokt took everything personal, but only on the offensive end. Like, if you scored on him, his team, or came at them in a demeaning way on the court, that he'd take it personal and make sure he put some points back at you on the next possesion, and it's true, Westbrook would, but only on the offensive end. He could have this same drive on defense, but he doesn't care to.
In the offseason of 2013 he said that he was going to make it a point to be a destructive force on the Defensive end. That he was going to make the All NBA Defensive team, then the injuries hit. That was the last time I heard him talk about defense. Any mention since then has been in post game interviews with the generic "we know we need to continue to work hard and get better on defense" yada yada.
This is the thing, OKC is completely ok just out scoring whoever they face. Defense doesn't have to factor in.

What about when non-Lakers fans spit their drink out at the same joke?
Got me. I don't have a good response to that.
TBH, having thought about it, my issue isn't with Lakers "fans" per se, but really a Lakers fan. One. That Lakers fan's Clippers basing is just especially irksome for some reason. Everyone else, have at it.

He's 6'11" and can hit 3's. That's about it.
Plus he's not getting paid a ridiculous contract either.

Thank god for the Warriors existing. If the Cavs make it to the finals, I can count on them to take Lebron out
No need to even explain this, your only hope for any team to take out Lebron has always been a West team for the last several years, because you know that trash bulls team WILL NEVER do it. LOL

Man keep dreaming. Even you know that would never happen in a million years. You know as well as I know, NO ONE in the East is beating a Lebron lead team, any time soon. Just focus on the Bulls and getting to watch them on TV, because they will end the season exactly how they needed it for the past 6 years.....NOT IN THE FINALS.
the Pistons
Have a seat. LOL

Amazing. I can't even fathom having that amount of strength.
And Kobe never came close to 63 in the playoffs
needed OT to get his only 50 point playoff game. While Jordan is the only player in history with back to back 50 playoff games. When the games mattered most, there is no better scorer in NBA history than MJ. Has the highest playoff PPG by a MILE. Even if you isolate Kobe's runs starting from after Shaq (or including the last 2-3 years where he was at superstar level anyway), he's still behind on both volume and efficiency.

I hate thinking about Kobe's 50 point playoff game. Should've been one of his all time best playoff games, hitting a go ahead basket in the final seconds of regulation to five his team a 4-2 playoff series upset victory over the MVP, after demoralizing them in game 4, but his own team couldn't secure a rebound and KWAME BROWN couldn't stay in front of Tim Thomas. Smh. The lineup for those final moments was Kobe, Smush, Odom, Walton, and Kwame. Smh.Amazing. I can't even fathom having that amount of strength.

This is the only one i blame lebron for. But that loss made him who he was after that. He was unstoppable.

LOL but still I would rather have my chances in the finals than not winning anything at all because of that one man.
The west is always strong.

Please let the Pistons be great this playoffs.
Or the Celtics.
Cuz I know damn well I can't count on my Bulls to be |I
If either of them knock off Lebron early, party at my house. I'll be the one dying of alcohol intoxication. You're invited too
