Well, yes, surely we can all take circumstances into account. I'm simply saying LAL hasn't proved anything to suggest much. You can say the same thing about Houston, I wouldn't argue it. December should be a barometer for LALLakers have a road back to back in Denver/Utah. That's TOUGH. Boston lost to Denver at the end of a 5 game trip. There's too much nuance involved to just look at it in black and white
It's crazy how a lot of us thought TOR goofed by trading for Gasol but he turned out to be keyAll three teams will look a little different by March April
They are 5th in the league in Defensive Rating over the last 10 games. Lakers 12th.
Russ is an issue. Especially against teams like the Clippers who can really lock down defensively on the perimeter. For now, in the REGULAR SEASON, I am willing to bet on what Harden can do with the team.

If they play lockdown defense against Denver, healthy Utah, LAC, MIL, etc. then good. Until then, the lockdown defense on who they've played doesn't prove much. Unless Memphis, OKC, Spurs, Kings without Fox/Bagley are going to be opponents deep into the playoffsYou can say that but when you watch the games you can see how dominant the Lakers defense is at full strength. When I watch Houston they give up a ton of good looks and teams haven't been making them pay, I haven't seen them play lockdown defense. The way both teams defended Chicago for instance is night and day. And that was the end of a 3 game trip for the Lakers compared to the start of a two game trip for Houston. That type of stuff
and when he thinks the clippers are about to losewhy do you inly post after games the Lakers win
Still a lot to prove for LAL. They were held to less than a point per possession against Utah without Bojan (and it was only the second game of the season). They were down by 20 or so against Dallas. Not going to hold losing against LAC against them since it was the first game of the year, but they didn't have Black Paul
If they excel against the other west playoff teams, cool. But right now there's not enough evidence to suggest exactly how they'd fare in a series against the west's best
00 is for 100I just realized that Melo is wearing #00 while Dame already has #0
Didn't know that was possible.
After this incredible start, it would be a huge letdown if they don’t.Lakers keep rolling.
They breaking the warriors record?
I completely agree with this, and feel like it's fair, but I assume it will be labeled as "hating" and "biased".
Ingles is taking less corner 3's which could be a symptom of what's ailing him. Maybe taking on the backup point guard role is hampering his ability for himself to get to his sweet spots of shooting. Mudiay is of one mind and that's to score. It's not a bad thing necessarily, but nobody is really getting Ingles in good positionI like how well Jeff green and mudiay are playing.Tony Bradley has really impressed me too.
It sucks that Conley has been inconsistent and the trade for him took away most of Utah’s depth. But yea, I agree with everything you’re saying
I’d be surprised if the Clippers dont make another move at the deadline they have a lot of mid size contracts .
Houston has always made trade deadline moves.
Shamet, JaMychal , Zubac all have takersThey traded away all of their 1st round picks for like the next 5 or 7 years in the PG trade. No assets to give up in a trade without giving up Lou Will, Montrez, or Harkless which would be the only players other teams would be interested in any trades.
They won't be in the running to get Iggy also. Most team GM's know he's going to the Lakers eventually and Rob Pelinka was his agent in the past before becoming the Lakers GM.
Can't wait to see NT'ers and other fan bases cry "Tampering" when Iggy is in the purple & gold.
