Lakers don't suck you fools, they're playing at 50% strength right now. This team was built around the big four, and they're missing half of it. The bench needs more consistent players, but once Nash and Gasol get healthy wins will come....

I agree, but a team with Kobe, Dwight and role player should still be able to beat piss poor teams.

This, I've watched a lot of basketball this season and last season... a lot of teams play/played without their top players and have been respectable until their return... Actually there seems to be evry few teams that are actually healthy majority of the season. Having two of the arguable best players at their positions on the court should not lead to the performances they are putting out...

Watching the cleveland game, for some reason Dwight looks pretty average and non-aggressive.. it was weird.

Yeah, I mean even as I overreact I still fully believe that the Lakers will be an elite team.

There is NO WAY, and I repeat there is NO f'ing WAY that a team with this:

PG: Steve Nash

SG: Kobe Bryant

SF: Metta World Peace

PF: Pau Gasol

CR: Dwight Howard

Bench:

Antawn Jamison

Jodie Meeks

Jordan Hill

can not be an elite team.

I do agree that Dwight looks passive on offense and doesn't seem to impact the defense as much as he should, but he still isn't fully healthy and won't be for another couple of months. I think by the All-Star break that the Lakers will be a top 3 team, but they can't blow games until then, because they are going to wind up with a 7 or 8 seed and will have to play the Thunder or Spurs in the 1st round.

      Sticking it to America's Team

      forgot to include the quote: best play in panther history   Pretty great.  X Clown also. I was always real fond of Jake’s 1st play vs Jacksonville simply for his entrance into the huddle which completely woke people up. That and what they went on to do in that game was a major turning point for the franchise.IMO. Kris Jenkins’ kick xp block vs TB is a big one for me.

      Falcons got Cousins and Penix

      I certainly wouldn't be surprised if that happened.  We might take a shot with say a fourth rounder if there is someone the staff likes.

      Every Big-Time Throw from Bryce Young and CJ Stroud in 2023

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I interpreted your original reply as the team could have success if the new players and coaches were really good, AND they created an offense that didn't count on the QB being a primary contributor. Because you think Bryce won't be able to hold up his end. I think you confirm that above. My only point is that I don't see how anyone can say definitively what Bryce Young will be in the league yet, based on his supporting cast from last season. And it seems those that have already decided that Bryce Young is a bust, likely just didn't like him as the pick in the first place. A little context for me... lots of folk here didn't like Cam while he was a Panther either. It had very little to do with him as a talent. And just for the record, I really am not invested in Bryce Young. I didn't want the team to move up for a QB at all in 2023. I thought 2024 would be the year to go for a QB. But when they did, I ordered the QBs as Anthony Richardson, then CJ, then Bryce. The disfunction from the front office, to the playcalling, to the scheme, to the oline and the receivers was just not a good situation. Horrible actually. Asking a rookie to perform with all that adversity is just not realistic to me, at any position let alone QB. So to me, the verdict is still out. I don't know if he can be the guy because the situation he was in last year was set up to fail from the start. In preseason, as soon as I saw the oline couldn't figure out how to even slow down the Jets' pass rush (particularly stunts) and the receivers were locked up like Fort Knox, I knew we were in for a long season.
