It’s just boring for every game to be a three point shooting competition. |
This is exactly why I stopped watching. Just a bunch of guys doing up and down the court taking turns at shooting 3s:

Watch that clip and maybe people will see why guys like Chuck and Shaq rag on the current product. |

I wish we played like this. We pump fake open 3s and drive into traffic, losing the ball or smoking a layup. |

Them calling the Lakers garbage when they were tied for the 4th seed and fighting for a top spot in the West but don't say squat about any of the other teams tied with our record or below us, just goes to show they don't pay attention to the product and just spew whatever narrative sounds good or will go viral.
Seeing more and more people criticize it now.

| This guy really watched us get owned in every game where we switch everything and said, give me more of that. At least Darvin's dumb defense was more effective in the median case |

Or tailor the scheme to the personnel?

No one here knows more than Darvin Ham, Luke Walton, Byron Scott, Mike Brown, Del Harris, Bill Bertka, Kurt Rambis, Bernie Bickerstaff, Magic Johnson, Frank Hambien, Mike Dunleavy, Randy Pfund either. |

He's distressed people.
The genius savant bball god.
Let him develop though. No reason to do this thing all over again. He's got potential. Will probably end up being a good coach. |

I was watching postgame and saw it happen live and its just that reminder that any human we come into contact with may be dealing with something way deeper than their outward composure would suggest
He was saying how his kids loved basketball and had many basketball cards and signed jerseys that were all burned in the fire (and his whole podcast burned up)
Now they have Austins and they will have Chris Pauls and Wembys.. then I know we all do it but I think he struggles not to focus on the loss of material things while many peoples actual lives have been lost.. very deeply challenging time

It was Byron that was obsessed with "Head of the Snake" Price
