I hope Russell fails with the Lakers and goes somewhere else and turns into a superstar. I've never seen a teams fan base so down on a player for ******* summer league and preseason and he isn't even playing that bad.

You dudes don't deserve nice things.

The Pelicans have to have the worst training staff in the league next to the Lakers.

 

[sea manup]

how did our training staff fall off so fast?

dont doctors get better with age? 

 

[sea manup]

 

tbh it sounds like you have had a pretty terrible life

no offence 

None taken. There are good and bad drugs tho seaman. I won't talk about my past usage but it did help me to stop drinking.

of course, there's nothing wrong with most drug consumption. its just not for me, i dont even find smoking (weed) enjoyable

just never understood how some people can only have fun/relax when under the influence of something (not directed at you)

Paul George! Whew

Let a nter tell it and the lakers goofed by not going with Okafor even tho he's shooting sub 40% and being out rebounded by dlo

 

[wavycrocket]

Eye test in preseason >>>>>>>> stats

 

[sea manup]

does dlo actually have the second highest rookie PER in the preseason? 

 

[rck3sactown]

Seems like WCS is probably the best rookie tbh

 

[rook]

Mirotic got that ratchet. Bulls should be able to put up tons of points this year

 

[pretty tony]

PG13 looking like he ready to take that next step

 

[don ramon]

paul george man

 

[rook]

^ yeah he's looking great

 

[sea manup]

yikes at that noah jump hook 

 

[pretty tony]

how did our training staff fall off so fast?

dont doctors get better with age? 

Back in the dark days, us Clippers fans were constantly talking **** about our training staff. Seemed like multiple guys were always injured and took forever to come back, even from pretty routine injuries. (I swear one year Chris Kaman sat out like half the season with a sprained ankle). Funny thing is, we still have the same head trainer and the health issues haven't been as prevalent (*knocks wood*). So, makes me think that when teams don't have a lot to play for, the team, training staff and players -- whether consciously or not -- just don't try has hard to overcome injuries.

that's a good point, at to be fair a guy like kobe got hurt plenty of times back in the day he was just younger so he could play through it. Another possible factor to being on a bad team is just not taking care of your body in general. There would probably be more motivation to eat healthy when in a positive (winning) environment.

It is interesting to look at trends though, like its strange how steph's ankles have been healthy (knock on wood) ever since he stopped wearing nike

Greg Monroe was born in the 1990s damn... I've watched him since Georgetown and that still is surprising to me.
