The doofus is triggered already from one post...LMAO.

You begged for my attention. I gave you a little. But I guess the answer is that you don't know how stupid you are. It was kind of a rhetorical question though. I already knew the answer.

Goodbye Bartie.

Lakers up by 20.

Goddamn that idiot Vogel and his rotations.

Dude, you're the one resorting to name calling so you can avoid answering a simple basketball question. You've been watching for decades and you can't answer a simple question. I'm the only one with the right to call anyone stupid in this discussion.

Talk to me during the Lakers/Clippers series when the Lakers are gonna need high level coaching.

You had your chance to make a point these last two rounds, psycho. Lakers pasted the Blazers 4-1 and so far have the Rockets teetering on the edge.

You’re an idiot. Stop talking about my team.

Stop pretending you're a Lakers fan, Kobe Kid.

If Rondo can keep this up against the Clippers than I'll admit I'm wrong about the guy. I highly doubt I'm wrong though.

Stop playing Rondo.

Rondo playing in crunch time with lebron instead of Kuzma...smh

You really think that's going to hold up game after game? He'll give you one good game out of 4. He's fool's gold. I'm not willing to put up with him shitting the bed most of the time for an occasional good game.

You'll be begging Vogel to take Rondo out during the Clippers. The small lineup with the Rockets obviously suits him, you're stupid if you think it will continue against any other team.

'Antoni's definitely resigning once this Rocket season ends. Talks stalled last summer without an extension so no way he sticks around for this trainwreck. And Harden might be worse than the Mailman come the playoffs.

Rondo reg season career...
10.2ppg 4.7rpg 8.3apg

Rondo PO career...
14ppg 6rpg 9.3apg


Yep... looks like he only did better because of the Rockets small ball lineup. It’s not like he has a history of stepping it up come PO time.

Like old man Rondo's career numbers have any relevance here. Maybe the Lakers can bring back Jabbar, he had good career playoff numbers....LMAO.

Even if that were partially correct, it's obviously the right move in this series, so why shit on Vogel for doing the intelligent thing?

And what exactly are the guard options on the Lakers? Green is limited offensively but he can shoot from distance okay and he's as good a defensive guard as the Lakers have with Bradley opting out. It gets real slim after that.

J.R. is a corpse. Period. Waiters is a poor defender and much too much of a ball hog offensively. Caruso is good energy and effort but not a great shooter. KCP can't guard a door so he better shoot it okay or he's a net negative.

In short, Lakers backcourt options are very limited. Everyone excluding Green has a major flaw that you have to hide as a coach.

I said it earlier in the thread. For the Lakers to win a title as constructed, they need great defensive schemes because they just can't shoot from the outside well enough, consistently enough to outgun top teams.

So far, so good as they've kept Portland and Houston to much lower offensive ratings than what they produced in the regular season.

Was there an NBA game tonight? I had no clue.
