What happened tonight 24? :D Aaron Afflalo? :smilielol5:

2nd night of a back to back. Lakers flew in from a late LA game and finally hit their hotels at 4:00AM. FYI, exact same thing hapened last year. I don't take the Nuggets lightly though, they will be in the Conference Fianls with the Lakers. Carmelo Anthony is the best player in the NBA who gets no Pub. U gotta like everything Nuggets except the Birdman retard.

The Lakers miss Pau Gasol. Kobe Bryant is their best player, but they didnt become an elite team til they acquired Pau Gasol. He gives them size, he can pass, he allows Odom to play weakside and get garbage points and stickbacks (and come off the bench). Look no further than their record prior to his arrival, and their record since.

How bout Ty Lawson tonight too? MONSTER DUNK on Mbenga.

True, but the lakers have still hobbled to a 7-2 record. :P

Pretty tough for any player to win it all without help, just ask Lebron.

Regular season is just foreplay in the NBA anyways, home court is all that's really at stake for most playoff teams.

Nuggets are winning the title IMO. They are SOOOOOOOOOO deep and the Lakers really don't have a good bench, aside from Brown and sometimes Farmar.

It's November still and the Lakers still haven't gotten Gasol on the court yet......bit premature to proclaim a new king in the West don't you think.......

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
