Last night, I was up late watching some analysis of the Russell Westbrook trade and listening in on some Lakers Twitter spaces (which are the an absolute riot, by the way). I was just about to fall asleep when someone in the Twitter space said the Nets and Suns were nearing a deal for Kevin… Read More 🚨 Kevin Durant Has Been Traded to the Nets | Thoughts on the New and Improved LA Lakers
LeBron has become the all-time scoring king in NBA regular season history. He’s held the record for combined playoff and regular season points for a while now, but Kareem’s 38,387 number is the one that is really the gold standard. It’s crazy that this moment has already arrived. I feel like it was yesterday I… Read More 🐐 LeGOAT 🐐
You may have noticed that on Friday, February 3, after Kyrie Irving requested his trade out of Brooklyn, various sports media personalities on social media were incensed that Kyrie dare steal the spotlight on “Michael Jordan Day.” How dare Kyrie Irving upstage The Greatest There Ever Was and the Greatest There Ever Will Be™? As… Read More The Michael Jordan Industrial Complex
I started working on this post on Friday and wrote a whole bunch about Kyrie’s potential fit with the Lakers, but I swear I included a part at the end where I said a trade to the Mavericks would make a lot of sense. This is what I wrote on Friday in my draft: “While… Read More Kyrie has been traded to the Mavericks 👀
LeBron goes for 41-8-9 on 50% shooting, and was a +1 while he was on the floor in 44 minutes, and the Lakers still lose because the refs are clearly and obviously determined to rig games against them. What the hell is this? This is a clear and obvious foul. Joel Embiid is getting this… Read More NBA Refs Are a Joke
This team is hanging on by a thread, barely treading water. They just completed an improbable win over the Grizzlies, who are in first in the West and were winners of 11 straight games coming into Friday night. On Sunday, the Lakers completed a highly improbable comeback win over the Blazers, who are neck-and-neck with… Read More The Lakers Made a Trade!!!
Last night against the Rockets, the Lakers needed every bit of LeBron’s 48 points to secure the 140-132 win. The Rockets are a 10-34 basketball team. LeBron was a +19 and the Lakers won the game by 8. So they were outscored by 11 when he was on the bench. He was on the bench… Read More The Lakers (and the REFS) Continue to Fail LeBron James
Like probably all of you, I spent most of last night constantly refreshing Twitter for updates on the Damar Hamlin situation. I wrote about that earlier this morning. But inevitably I went looking for other sports to get my mind off the whole situation, and was able to witness the Cavs’ amazing comeback to beat… Read More The Warriors Depth is Just Too Much
He’s had enough: His numbers are great but the real telling stat is that the Lakers are +64 when he’s on the floor and -68 when he’s off over the last 9 games. So basically they squander whatever lead he’s built every time he goes to the bench–and in only 1/3 of the minutes it… Read More Has LeBron Finally Reached His Breaking Point with the Lakers Front Office?
The Lakers were up 54-43 on Dallas at halftime on Christmas Day, but then got outscored 51-21 third quarter and wound up losing 124-115. They are now 13-20 on the season. We are just about at the point where LeBron’s 20th year has officially been wasted by the most incompetent front office in professional sports,… Read More Rob Pelinka and Jeanie Buss Continue to Waste LeBron’s 20th Season
