    Bron a +1 and everyone else a negative and the trend of this team being *** without him on the floor continues. I don’t understand why DLo has so much trouble getting AD the ball. I know for AD it has to be maddening to get a guard switched on you with decent positioning to just see DLo keep dribbling looking as if he’s second guessing if he can make an entry pass or not.

    Kudos to Ham rolling out this Wood-AD-Hayes lineup. He’s had games where Rui and Wood have been massive positives just to play 12 minutes so Ham can trot out these multi-guard lineups. Even after seeing how effective using Rui and Vando was for him last season.. such a head scratcher.

    Maybe I’m wrong but I find it hard to picture both DLo and Vincent being on the roster post deadline. Ball moves better with Reaves as a playmaker, and Bron and AD are both better when they can get into their 2-man action.

    As I’m typing all that they did just make a run with Bron on the bench. Still through 4 games they are nearly 40 points better when Bron is on the floor, it should not be that difficult to sustain play with the guys they have. Ham gotta get the rotations ironed out. But Lakers going 13-4 run right now giving Bron a good rest. Ham needs to keep using this size, and let Reaves do what got him that contract.

      What about having reaves coming in as the 6th men when Bron is out and finishing games.

        As much as I type and play this armchair GM/coach role as Pack would say, I’m definitely not going to pretend like I have the answers lol.. personally I think he gives too much shooting to take out of the lineup, and they likely aren’t going to start Gabe there and have not PG on the bench.. but there is something that just isn’t mixing.

        I personally don’t understand not starting the 5 guys who went toe to toe with Denver.. I know it was a sweep, but these were single possession games. I get wanting Rui as a scoring punch off the bench, but then what was the point in adding Gabe and Wood?

        Rui and Reaves are both much better playing with Bron. There was a mic’d up clip of Bron the other night saying to I think Phil Handy “you know I can play PG too right?” And mentioned having Rui and Reaves out there.. to me that’s their best unit, even if that means DLo has to spot up a bit more or he’s 6th man for Gabe.

        Regardless Ham has been sitting DLo with Bron a lot.. which is head-scratching because if there are any two players on the team to stagger it would be those two. They are the two most ball dominant players they have, best two playmakers they have, it would seem you want 1 of them on the floor basically at all times. Not sitting at the same time when they each take away from each other to an extent.

              It's funny I kind of agree with him. But I think Bol has a character issue that keeps following him. Nothing I can find on paper or video. But that's why he dropped in the draft and why he keep being moved around. I also think hype is another factor.

              Shaq is 100% correct but there is a caveat to all of that. Bol Bol plays with horribly low IQ, dude does not fit within any team system I’ve seen him play in. He doesn’t move the ball, he’s a shoot first, second, third, fourth type of guy. He doesn’t have the defensive motor that Wemby has.

              But for the rest of that.. Shaq is spot on. Skill wise, size, all of that, Bol Bol has that.. that was part of my point when people losing their mind over some of the stuff Wemby did in the pre-season like guys like Bol Bol and Porzingis don’t exist was just a tad of an eye roll.

              But yeah seeing Wemby make a play like a wing and losing our **** like Bol Bol doesn’t do that every time he steps on the floor is goofy. The other stuff, mostly intangible and IQ type of stuff, I mean they are miles apart. Bol Bol is among the worst in the entire league at that aspect of the game, it’s obvious Wemby isn’t the same. He gets it, and has gotten it since he was just a kid. That’s why he’s a prodigy and the other is a bench warmer.

              That’s also why these “most skilled”, “deepest bag”, “hardest for me to guard” arguments kill me when it pertains to NBA players.. it’s not a game of 1 on 1, all that stuff is irrelevant to a degree when the game is 5 on 5.. Draymond will be in the HOF one day for getting all of that stuff, dudes like Mike Beasley might rival the likes of Kobe or T-Mac playing king of the court and couldn’t even stay in the league. That stuff matters at this level more than any other level.

                  Lebron has been super duper efficient tonight. 12-16 shooting. Old man still got it.

                    Amazing how teams can look like the 96 Bulls in one quarter then look like the 1970 Hawks the next quarter.

                    LBJ cooking and bullying KY and West-b and PG13. And it honestly feels like Clippers could care less.

                      Clippers stay with that super heavy iso ball. I don't get it.

                                I can't be the only one up being forced to watch this mess. The ghost of Lakers past reached up from beneath the hardwood and caused Westbrick to impersonate Jordan Poole's slip-n-slide act.

                                LBJ flying through the sky blocking Norman Powell and PG and KY just stand around looking like the "who would call a play for me in crunch time" twins.

                                And where is Ty Lue? Where is the play calling for your 2 stars? Where is the creativity? Where is the inspiration? Where is the coaching? Man, LBJ has made more people rich than any other player in basketball history.
