@Alvini_Linguine My understanding is it’s a bit more nuanced. He believes spending heavily on star players matters, but thinks most spending on operations and staff is inefficient. His view is star players are what actually drive value and produce results.

I asked someone this earlier but is this dude a fan of basketball or is trying to run a sports team like an actual business where profit is the end all be all? Because unless you end up owning a Curry or Wemby type of guy. You’re not going to see any type of REAL money 😭

@SmallDickNick69 @SlimSleepr nobody really they have no options besides a trade. Ironically AD would be great 😂

@PowerGotNow @SlimSleepr Who’s even available? Claxton?

Uncomfortable conversations will be had this summer in LA. Ain’t no way man..

@LegionHoops it wasn’t a fluke lakers just don’t have defense lol

Ajay Mitchell vs. the Lakers: 22.5 PPG Ajay Mitchell tonight: 2 points Of course.

@LegionHoops disagree #1 thing guiding his decision is probably his family. Lol

Lakers insider Dave McMenamin: “Basically from the All-Star game and onward is that LeBron will continue to play NBA basketball but will it be in Los Angeles?… There’s five or six teams you could viably see him going to next year. The Lakers if they are swept here, will have to convince LeBron, I would say on some level, that we have a plan in place here for you to come back and compete for a championship… At this stage of his career that is the number one that has guiding his decisions: being able to compete for a championship.” (via @mcten)

@ShadyMikeGaming @Fullcourtpass @SMHighlights1 wym that’s not his game he’s a Center. If your game as a Center does not include rebounding you are unplayable.

JJ Redick after Deandre Ayton gave up 2 offensive rebound in a row “I can’t play him” (h/t @SMHighlights1)

@LakersNation and immediate missed rebound 😢

Adou Thiero getting some minutes here in the first quarter.

@MolotovUnltd @Ballislife @TaiBoogie5 @Bell19Raja @SteveNash @Suns Went to a lakers game around then and saw him in warmups go around the court like that and he also did not miss one shot. He is incredible

@Ballislife @TaiBoogie5 @Bell19Raja @SteveNash @Suns I once attended a Lakers practice (no Kobe that day unfortunately). I watched Steve Nash drain 83 shots in a row from various spots in the court. In a row. Also he drove a 2014 Porsche Cayenne. Nash and Pau Gasol are EXTREMELY nice and funny and down to earth 🌎 beyond cool.

#24 ranked 10th grader Tai Bell, son of former NBA pro Raja Bell was in the lab with 2x NBA MVP Steve Nash. 🔥

@PostDrew2k @_oFAB Kind of 2, but mainly 3.

@PowerGotNow @_oFAB What was our $1000 pot vs Tre Magnum??

I will never tell anyone to wager because 2k is such a simple game the person with the more hours will win/or the person with better friends will win. I actually value everyone’s opinions on here and try to help others and understand everyone’s perspective because I’m wrong at times.

@EvThatGuy @lgymo yup!

@PowerGotNow @lgymo I’m sure he was the straw that broke the camel’s back but he was one of plenty

I’ll say it I miss 1V1ME 2s

@EvThatGuy @lgymo Could be wrong, but it seemed like AyCartii was like the obvious reason. But if we’re being honest, I think they already wanted to end it because it wasn’t profitable, and he just became the convenient excuse to finally do it.

@lgymo Who we blaming for this?

@EvThatGuy Just you

Is it me or did Amazon just go out during this Lakers game ?

@StoryofMiike damn how old are you 😭😭😭😭 leaders is kind of crazy though lmao. they making moves

I’m getting to the age where all my friends from school are starting to become the leaders in the industry they are in. Crazy from some sophomores that had two weeks off cuz of COVID. 🥲

@Dmoney2499 He has a better chance of winning this series than he did in the finals of 2017 or 2018 IMO.

I grew up believing LeBron James has a chance to win any series he’s played in since 2012…. I Continue to believe that

@WatDaLiq_REED yes that’s the only 4. It depends on you but I mainly did for legend rebound chaser then the other is whatever you want (prob boxout beast or brick wall depending on play-style)

@PowerGotNow what’s up bro i’ll see you chose rebound specialization. I need your max +ones and twos. For rebounding is it only rebound chaser, box out beast,pogo stick, and brick wall.

@PaulB__ funny until he hits one three and then refuses to take another all year just to protect his percentage 😂

If I was the Rockets GM he gotta sign a clause that says if he does not have a 30% 3pt or higher by EOS whole contract voided

@_oFAB you rn:

You can Google me bro. Before cheating existed an nba organization drafted me #2 in the whole world to get paid a salary to play nba 2k

Look, it doesn’t bother me much either. But saying people can’t change it is wrong. You may not control everyone, but you can always control what you support. Creators post for attention. If the audience pushes back, stops engaging, or calls it out, they will change. Maybe not instantly, but over time. That’s how every online change happens. Now, if you don’t care enough to act, that’s fine (I mean I don’t). But saying there’s no point and people have no influence just sounds like a way to justify doing nothing for something you believe in.

Whether you or I use it or not, the reality is that it's not going anywhere. So what's the objective in being upset about it? You have no control over who uses it, how much they use it, or why they use it. You don't have a choice but to accept that it's going to be used. So if you don't like it and don't want to see it, you'd have to delete all forms of social media or block all accounts that use it. That's the only real solution an individual can provide for themselves. Being mad about it isn't going to change anything except your blood pressure.

@wstgoat7 I think it’s actually the opposite. It’s really hard when the teams are evenly matched. They happen when the teams are not evenly matched. When the team up 3–1 wasn’t really better, just had some fluky games, or injuries flipped the series somehow.

This might be a hot take but coming back from 3-1 really isn’t that hard. The only reason it has a low success rate is because normally the teams that are in that position aren’t very great. If you have two teams that are on near the same level it isn’t that difficult
