Sure is
I’ve noticed that people really underestimate chemistry, roles, a defined system, aging and pacing...and how those things effect a team.
Brosizzlew30.23 expects a 35 year old LeBron to play 75+ games....heavy minutes, and defense. That’s likely not going to happen. No matter how much time in the offseason he’s gotten.
The year 17 year is going to hit different. Having Bron as the sole 3 level playmaker....and him increasingly upping his usage will feel a lot like the 17-18 Cavs....except worse cuz he’s 2 years older...and playing in the West.
That Cavs team scrapped to 50 wins and a 4 seed at the end of the season...with a better version of Bron...who played all 82 games and similar roster.
People should look for that as reference to see how this is going to play out, is they play “that way”...and Bron stay completely healthy.
Anything less than a championship is unacceptableThe Lakers are so deep that I would expect them to grab the 1 seed even if Bron and AD miss 20+ games a piece. Arguably the deepest team in league history

Back then there were a bunch of great defensive guards like Alvin Robertson, Mo Cheeks, Sidney Moncrief, etc that got the nod ahead of Magic, in spite of Magic being a solid defensive player in his early years. Bottom line, Magic played both ends at a very high level and won 5 chips in 9 Finals in a span of 11 yrs and is why he an all time great no questionIf he was so disruptive, why he never made an all-defensive team?
Green, Bradley, Cook, Daniels, Kuz, Dudley all gettin open looks off that PNR.Bron/AD PnR
Keep coming with that fire
Umm......No.Sure is

So you comparing Harden's D to 1980-87 Magic?The disruptive James Harden should have made all defensive team since he finished 2nd in steals last season
They dont even know it yet but they will see. Like I said, the Laker hating aka jealousy has begun. Because when we do it, we do it big and no other team knows how to do dynasties each decade like the Lakers do it.You know for all the media's "concern" about the Lakers third option & depth come playoff time, i oddly keep seeing them compared to the Clippers in terms of how much better of a supporting cast they have..
The Clippers third best player is an undersized two guard in his 14th season who's playoff numbers are as follows
12/2/3 on 38/26/80.........
they are also starting Zubac & Jaymychal Green... this idea that the Clippers have this vastly superior supporting cast is kind of crazy. Same can be said for the Rockets, Same can be said for GS etc etc..
so i'm confused as to why i keep hearing this if AD/Bron misses significant time the Lakers are in big trouble... as if this isn't true for the majority of the top teams in the West
Wing defenders - Green, people underestimating Avery Bradley once again, y'all don't know bout Caruso but y'all finna respect the dude's D by 2020 mark my words. I don't want y'all acting shocked when you see what this kid does with a veteran cast around him. And old man Rondo can still do it in spurts as long as you preserve him. Cook can defend adequately. We straight on D because guess what, you still forgetting KCP. We deep af.No troll: health provided, I’d be sold on the Lakers if they had one more playmaker and one more wing defender with size.
feel like once the playoffs come, do you trust anyone to do anything with the ball outside of LeBron? Do you trust anyone on that roster outside of bron to make a pocket pass, make a play for someone else, make a play for themselves, when it’s 5 minutes left to go in a playoff
Outside of bron (and who knows where his defense will be) they are incredibly small on the wings defensively
Darn right. That's what the team is doing.Don't talk about it. Be about it ?
I’m surprised no one ain’t wagering lol but then again BIG LEEMELONE got all the betsMy man just wrote 7 straight posts. Can’t say I’m not entertained
Def big homie whip...it’s really poppin this season in here if yo backWhiplash byke
Some fanbases have an amazing capacity to assume before the season starts the team will get max performance from every guy on the roster, even when there’s objective reasons to believe otherwise. You have to admire the optimism.
