If the Lakers win another championship I'm going to puke.

I feel the same way.... Maybe OKC was our best bet to stop them. Seriously, the lakers are a powerhouse of a team. When they play close to their potential they are a beast to stop...let alone beat 4 games. My only hope is that somehow Boston gets past orlando and finds away to squeak by the Lakers. I think Gasol is one of the most underrated players in the nba... and that's saying a lot. Then with Kobe, Ron Ron, Odom of the bench, Bynum... the team is stacked.

The Lakers just have too many championships. I don't want to see more. :(

In the west OKC was the best shot at LA losing a series, it wasn't a good matchup for the Lakers. The Celtics have a shot just because of how tough they play defense though if it is a Lakers - Celtics final.

The only question left to be answered for this series is if the Purple and Gold complete the sweep.......When the Lakers play as unselfish as they have lately they are pretty close to unbeatable....

Portland, Denver, and OKC were the teams that had to best shot at beating LA. LA will probably win this in 5. Phx hasnt had a problem scoring, but they've regressed a little bit on the defensive end with this Laker team. I dont want LA to win another title, either, but I'd rather them win than the Celtics. I cant stand the Celtics

I can't stand either one of them.

Lose-lose situation. :(

Zone Defense???? Really?? Never thought you could play successful zone against an NBA team like LA.... 7 mins to go, up by 6.... Still having a hard time seeing them pull this one out.

Yeah they need to play zone to combat the bigs inside. They will allow outside shots.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By amcoolio · Posted

      I hope not. 3rd-5th round QB's are historically awful. Most of the time that team is just drafting another QB in the first the following year. Look at the Saints, if they continue to suck this year they are just taking a QB. And if they do they just threw away a 2nd round pick that they just drafted. We did the same poo with Clausen, Greer, Pike, that guy we drafted a few years ago who is so irrelevant I forgot his name...  Just take a 1st round QB if Bryce isn't the answer and be prepared to live with it

      This reminds me on Madden where you create an alternate uniform and the pre-recorded voice overs talk about how hideous your uniform looks. 🤣

      Trade for a QB?

      By amcoolio · Posted

      There are people on this forum that just want to see a lot of passing yards....number go up. That's all it is, really. They are thirsting for a 350-400 yard game. The idea that Jameis Winston is going to come in and play like a star and lead us to wins is ludacris. He's the 3rd fuging string for a 2-5 team and has played horrible for years now. Sure, passing numbers will go up but you'll also get a lot of dumb plays, pick 6's, and incompletions en route to a frustrating bad offensive performance, just in a different way. I think these people are yearning for another Delhomme situation, and the odds of that happening are very very slim. It's way more likely Howell or Jameis comes in and looks like Jack Plummer or Andy Dalton did in the preseason. There just isn't that much good quarterbacking in this league right now. And if we draft another QB in the first round, there is a good chance they bust. It's not a guaranteed carrot. The reality is, as mediocre as Bryce has been, the risk of bringing someone else in in-season and releasing Bryce becuase you aren't happy with his current performance is staggeringly high. Don't want to re-up his contract and search for a solution in the offseason? Sure, I'm on board. Bryce hasn't been good enough to warrant a second contract. But It is very. very unlikely that bringing someone else in midseason is going to give this team more wins.
