Who’s making excuses? They suck and there’s nobody to blame but them. Total organizational failure.

Why did you expect that? NT NBA is full of bias and agendas some of us embrace it and are honest about it. Then you have others who pretend their takes come from an objective and fair point of view.
NT NBA and mainstream sports media one in the same.

I don’t see y’all do this when people slander the lakers.
This is akin to, “Russ is a good guy, he has a family” when he’s on the lakers but when he leaves and sucks on another team it’s open season
To be clear - EYE am not in the group of folks you are referring to. He was CLEARLY a detrimental player for Day 1 in the Lakers to me so it should not be a surprise ANYONE that he is for the Clippers.
For better or worse, NT NBA has forced me to view the NBA (and all sports tbh) neutrally because some of the fandom I have seen on here has made me realize how it can completely skew your view of sports reality. I can call a spade a spade.

I agree those wrestling dorks are the scum of the entire forum. Not sure why they are allowed to clutter the front page of general with that fantasy fighting nonsense.

This is another thing I can objectively admit - I think players/teams should have the utmost confidence in their abilities. Internally.
When the LEADERS OF THE TEAM start saying "Keep that same energy" or "We ain't worried about the West", it's open season because they officially opened their teams up to scrutiny.

They'd get demolished in the 1st round anyway which is why I don't think they have the heart to fight for a playoff berth

To be fair, Y’all had like EIGHT Future HOF (including the supposed “goat”
). You had talking heads predicting y’all would win 70 games. There was positive discourse, that the 2021-2022 Lakers were the most stacked team ever. Other people tried to be realist, and say they were old/injury concerns. To calm down, and that Russ will still struggle. But we were TOLD, to “kEeP tHe sAmE eNerGy”
That is all that happened

Russ wasted the last few good Harden and LeBron years . He’s gotten so many chances and does the same damn thing. You gotta blame the teams at this point for giving him the playing time .

Russ going out like AI
A.I in Denver was a lot better than these last few years of Russ. A.I in Detroit and Memphis was bad but that was only 2 teams. Russ been terrible in Houston, DC, LA and LA again.

PG has not played like and HOFer this year. To be completely honest, I'm not even sure he deserved his all-star spot. Yes, his stats look good, but he's been downright bad in a lot of clutch situations this season. And that's a big part of the reason why they're struggling after adding Russ. PG needs to be better or they're not getting out of this tailspin they're in.

For example, I was one of those folks high on GSW coming into the season. After 30 games and seeing how they were playing, I admitted that they weren't as good as I suspected and in fact similar to the Lakers.
I was partially wrong - Lakers made moves to move the needle. However, they won't be getting the 4-6 seed while GSW has a legit shot at 4-6
I was partially right - Injuries popped up for Step, Bron and AD.
The biggest difference between the teams is that the Warriors seemed to have played better through their key player being injured and the West is extremely tight so they will reach their ceiling while the Lakers will not.
You win some, you lose some

I think Frauden, KB, Rustle Westbrook and Serge should all sign up to run it back.

That's a wild take man
Unrelated but I do think some folks need to get away from the hook up culture and short term dating to gain perspective on certain things. Get a chance to know what something real feels like.
