Whenever I hear the Pelicans discussed by national writers it’s amazing to me that McCollum isn’t immediately brought up as the piece that needs to be moved if they want to take the next step.
They do play Denver, but do you really think they're a nightmare for Denver? My sense is the Lakers are a good match-up for Denver -- Lakers have no answer for Jokic (not that anyone else does) or Murray (unless Vincent can add something the Lakers haven't had before).
I enjoy this site and most of you all know more basketball than I do. But the most boring thing anytime the Lakers are playing is the constant baseless kvetching about LeBron and about the Lakers fouling. Absolutely zero substance on either count.
no one can stop jokic but the lakers seemed to find some success last year with AD playing someone else and roaming to bother his shots near the rim. ad is maybe the ideal defensive big man to have against jokic
An early in the shot clock 3 where he was moving and not square to the basket. Just mind numbingly dumb
Yes absolutely. AD and Rui matchup w Jokic about as well as anyone, they still have LeBron and despite what people like to say around here this is still a real real good team when the games matters.
It’s funny because when he played at Duke he was a good defender. I don’t know what happened when he got to the NBA but he has the ability to do it
He was young, most young guys aren't good defenders... add in constant injury and (related) weight/conditioning issues, sprinkle in teammates who didn't give a shit on that end.....
He's 40 and playing every minute dragging a bunch of bums and a co-star 10 years his junior who is terrified of the big lights... dude is tired.
I would bring in BI for Jones but McCollum cant be put back into the game
