Should be twice as long as Alex is out imo

 

[king j]

I'm taking Kyrie over CP in a series idc

Make sure you have LeBron too…

 

[Coupé It]

More skilled doesn’t mean being a better player.

This is what I think some people are getting confused….

Or simply just don’t want to understand.

The Heat are a terrible matchup for these Lakers man

Any hardworking and physical/tough squad would be

Up 20 and Lowry and Herro aren't even playing

It’s really not far fetched to say he’s one of the most skilled guards ever though. He has no flaws on offensive but he’s missing key intangibles. Two things can be true.

He's missing every other part of the game besides flashy shot attempts. I'd say that's a lot of key tangibles too.

 

[Figured it out]

Don’t want Westbrook on the lakers as much as the next guy but That’s on Stanley , he was supposed to rotate

Russ playing a two high safety zone

 

[antidope]

Trade Bron

You’re wildly mistaken if you think Myrie is just a flashy layup maker.

If Ben Simmons could hit a 3 he'd be more skilled than Kyrie

Yes I'm close

Matter of fact, Ben already a better passer, rebounder and defender
That's a 3:1 advantage over Kyrie being able to hit a moving shot

My guy woke up and decided to wage war against Qyrie today

I've always thought it was weird that the "skilled" essentially only means handling and shooting. Yes, Kyries shot making, handling and layup package are great but Defense requires skills and Kyrie doesn't do that very well at all.

It's even crazier when people call Kyrie one of the most skilled players ever. When you consider the fact that he is a defensive liability and is below average on that side of the court, I wouldn't have Kyrie in my top 10 most skilled players. LeBron, Anthony Davis, Paul George, Kawhi are far more skilled when you consider their offensive skills matched with their defensive skills

He's a flashy layup misser too

 

[WASHED KING]

More skilled doesn’t mean being a better player. Intangibles are real. Leadership is a real thing too.

And y’all wilding thinking CP3 would have won in 2017 had you switched places. CP3 just got over some playoff ghosts last year at 35.

Two things can be true at once.

 

[picasso swerve]

No Herro or Lowry and getting smacked by 20? Damn.

What Russ doing wrong now?

 

[rolaholic]

Wrong thread

 

[Coupé It]

Lakers making Jimmy Butler look like Jordan……again.

 

[elpablo21]

Might peep a space or two tonight

 

[murkn3m]

Laker fans were y’all at

 

[AEA18]

 

[frshstunna]

Unless AD bout to put up Wilt numbers, him coming back isn’t gon change much for this seasons Lakers squad

 

[noblekane]

Trade Bron

NEVER.

 

[akajae]

NFL Playoffs crazy.

 

[N41D]

When we gone start talking buyouts or what the Show will have to attach to move him?

I thought this had a chance to work if Russ bought in and made some adjustments but I’ll be damned if it ain’t gone down in flames.

 

[QU!K]

blowup the raptors

Came back but not enough
