The Official NBA Season Thread: All 30 Teams Playing Tonight

Not really

They got injured the year after they won the title

The year after that they traded for Russell Westbrook

Last year they still had Westbrook for half the year

Those are more than good enough excuses
Those aren’t excuses.

Anthony Davis went down in the first round in 2021, the Lakers were ahead in the series, and Phoenix was missing their best player at the time, Chris Paul. That’s an equal playing field. LeBron choked.

Also it was LeBron who signed off on the move for Westbrick, and he’s a former MVP and perennial All-Star, but that also is not an excuse. Great basketball would’ve found a way to make him fit and work … only losers make excuses.

They should’ve recognized that A.R. 15 had crazy basketball IQ and skill, but obviously he had to face things out of his control here in the American basketball system to get more playing time and touches.

You know if he grew up overseas he wouldn’t have to deal with that, and he would come in with more hype like a Luka etc

So also, not an excuse, they should’ve got rid of Russell way sooner than that. They should’ve gotten LeBron to focus more on playing defense and not just playing for raw statistical numbers.
 
Top no excuses.

Nuggets - defending champs
Lakers - 2nd best team since trading the vampire
Warriors - got rid of the their vampire
Bucks - Giannis put the FO on the clock
Suns - nothing but hoopers
Boston - Been to 15 ECFs in a row
Knicks - Brunson Top 5 MVP candidate
