It was a tough fought game. It looks like OKC’s strategy is going to be to key in on BI defensively and make the rest of the team beat them. BI is either going to have to play more physical and go to the rim or he is going to have to be a distributor. Taking contested midrange jumpers isn’t going to...
re: Going away from JV and Trey

I mean even with the ball being poked away CJ got a pretty clean look. It just didn’t fall.
Both teams shot the ball pretty horrendously so I have no idea what to expect moving forward. BI has to play more physical for us to have a chance. Dort and Williams just moved him around all game. ...
re: Adding a modern Center without a “major” trade. How do we do it?

Jemison was in the Pels summer league and in camp wasn’t he? He started for Memphis towards the end of the season and was pretty serviceable for being on a bad team. Only 24 years old....

I think BI is kind of a small town bumpkin. I believe him when he says he hasn’t had his phone on in the past 3 days. He doesn’t seek the spotlight which is why he is so hard to hate on....
JV Appreciation Thread

Huge double-double tonight and missed some bunnies at the rim. Should’ve had an easy 24/12 but we will take 19/12. He doesn’t fit in whatever scheme Willie wants to run but without him in the first half of the season I don’t think we even make the play-in. I don’t think he’s back in a Pels uni next ...
re: BI stormed out the building and was pouting on the sideline

He didn’t disappear in that series like CJ has these past two high stakes games, that’s for damn sure. Love CJ and we aren’t even here if not for him but from 30+ PPG to bust is tough. BI brought it every game in that series....

He proved his postseason prowess in that Suns series. Absolutely legitimate that he was pissed he didn’t get run in the 4th, ESPECIALLY with Zion out. Hopefully he has something to prove Friday night. ...
CJ sucked last night

Not all of us lost credibility. I called hamstring, although I did say he motioned to abdomen briefly. :lol:...
re: My Guess On The Zion Injury
Posted by pleading the fifth on 4/16/24 at 10:51 pm
I’m an MD. I’m gonna go hamstring. Last year when he injured it he had almost the same reaction. I think he may have even played a few minutes on it....

Look like he maybe motioned to his abdomen? He didn’t seem to be limping. I dunno. Would be a weird injury. ...

F it. The whole point of making the post season was to get him playoff reps. Probably won’t even watch Friday....
FT Discrepancy
Posted by pleading the fifth on 4/16/24 at 7:48 pm
I missed the first half but noticed that the free-throw discrepancy is eight points in the favor of the Lakers. Are the calls legit or is it the typical West Coast bias?...
re: Pels now favored by 1 1/2...will AD play?...If I'm Lakers, he starts but exits early.
Posted by pleading the fifth on 4/16/24 at 9:25 am
Lakers are 1-7 against Sac and GS this year. I don’t think they want any part of either of them. Making the playoffs with a first round matchup against Denver is better than no playoffs at all....

This is really it. When BI comes back we can’t go back to 25 3PA per game again. He has to change his shot profile....
