The vibe I get is that they take for granted the fact that they are making millions of dollars PLAYING A GAME… But that’s only possible because we as fans generate the interest level to an extent that profit can be driven from it… Probably part of the reason I’m not really a fan anymore
I agree. Players and fans disconnect has become greater and greater over the course of the games history. Trend coincides with player empowerment and wealth. You go downstream from that you’ll see entitlement and ungratefulness. League will always need fanatics watching every dribble and buying every product relating to their favourite teams/players. Players are losing sight of that…
I think your complaining about Darvin too much. I admit he hasn't been great but your forgetting this same starting unit got swept out of the playoffs last year. Darvin was experimenting with the lineup because he knows that starting 5 isn't good enough to beat the top teams like Denver, clippers etc.
I think Anthony's criticisms of Ham are fair. Ham makes so many head scratching decisions that don't inspire too much confidence. As far as knowing we're not good enough to beat top teams that may be true (Denver is the only team in which that might be true) LeBron was hurt last year and playing thru it and every wcf game was pretty close with a gimpy LeBron
In Darvin's defense as far as our record is concerned, this roster has seen an obscene amount of injuries this season and that has to be hard to coach thru with so many guys in and out of the lineup
That starting five with rui is 5-0 this season. Regardless of whether we got swept by Denver last year. But remember darvin started three guards in the first game. And every game was close including a two point game in game four. We went 500 in 48 starts with prince this year. 48 starts for prince was clearly not necessary to realize prince wasn't working
Yeah they got swept last year partially do to hams lineups and dlo slumping at the worst time.... The starting 5 has like 20 games together last year..u can't expect them to play great and win a chip. The whole point of bringing everyone back is to help them build history and get time under their belt to really figure out the best ways to play together. U don't experiment with trash lineups full of vet min trash players and expect them to be better then the guys that made the playoffs run. Makes a lot more sense to keep playing ur good guys then to say welp we lost in the playoffs so we'd be better if we put vet min and 5 million dollar players out there. Makes no sense and that's why he lost the locker room.. nobody but hwm thought cam reddish and prince were gonna be better than reeves rui and or vando lmfao
I dont agree with her saying if kawhi had played they wouldve won. This is the nba. You gotta actually do it

No, Darvin has been atrocious. Not just line ups. Defensive rotations, poor offense most of the season. He sees things months after everyone else.

Continuity requires good health.
Weve had good enough health to play our best guys. Stop making excuses for the nut
The lakers will make the playoffs. Theyre too good
