Does Pau Gasol work for the Warriors or something? Just saw him shake his head after Lebron made that basket....LOL.

That was a hell of a win that is probably going to fuck us up in the immediate future. Probably sit Bron and AD the next game

Good win. The new AD showed guts to come back and play. Clearly need D'Lo's offense, so can't sit him for so called defense. Have to play Vando to be on the other teams best perimeter player.

If I’m irritated with this circus reffing chiefs has got to be bouncing off the walls There was some pretty bad shit all over the place. Warriors were generally hacking all game while getting away with all of their illegal screens. Draymond got away with a flagrant at the end of the first OT I think it was and they refused to review it. but the inadvertent whistle as Klay was shooting a shot and AD getting FTs going for a rebound at the end of the 4th was also pretty weird. NBA is going to have a few things to say to that crew.

I also really hope this is the game that gets Ham over the hump on Vanderbilt vs Prince

After evaluating the team through this last month of ups and downs that have threatened to derail the whole season, I’m sharing the lineup that I think the team should start with and who should come off the bench. My starters are: AD Lebron Vanderbilt Prince DLo It is clear as day that D’Angelo plays better as a starter than as a bench player. He’s played outstanding for 2 straight weeks and showed us not only what he’s capable of but how much fire he still has within himself. It’s impossible to ask him to stay at this level every game but as long as he’s fairly consistent he’s money. Taurean Prince is not my favorite Laker, but he seems to be Darvin Ham’s in many ways. I do like that he’s a willing shooter and with a quick release. He’s a good type of player to have out on the perimeter when playing with AD and Lebron because he plays ready. Moving him from the 3 to the 2 I think will do him well defensively too. I’d like to see him minutes reduce from 30+ mins a night to many about 25 but that’s just me. But Jarred Vanderbilt is a must to get more minutes on the floor, period. His defense and hustle changes everything for this team. He’s more important than most people realize, even the coach imo. Our star players do not have that motor to grind and hustle like him and that’s why it’s so important to have. With DLo and Prince out there the pressure to be the shooter lessens and he’ll have free rein to roam with all the attention our 2 bigs get. From there I’d move Austin back to the bench where he was thriving as the 6th who kept our attack moving once we start giving Lebron a rest. Rui also has to carve out a similar role subbing for Lebron. He’s a strong player with lots of skill to tap and I think he needs the trust and direction. After those 2 subs, Cam, Max and Christian can come in as needed. Great post. I am just a bit torn with Prince over Reaves. But assuming Reaves still closes games I think this works.

Reaves is a closer for sure and also a lions share minutes guy too. 33-35 mins a game sounds about right. This is where Prince’s mins need to be trimmed from his 30.5 to 25 max. Maybe more like 20-24 is more his maximized range.

If Wood tweeted "lol" before the game because he was not starting. If I were the Lakers I would waive him tomorrow.

And now Lebron has tweeted an emoji of an hourglass that no longer has sand on the top implying that something has run out of time.
The players are revolting and Jeanie is on the clock now.

Maybe they want Handy? Or just moves to be made? There have been some encouraging wins this season but still somehow struggling overall to keep their head above water. There will need to be some catalyst.

The funny thing about it is that Wood tried to play it off like it was nothing after the game. Nobody is buying that line of bull crap though. And I agree, this is totally something and Ham has lost credibility with the players--no doubt in my mind.
