it is deep when you have LBJ and AD shoring up the starting rotation

Stopped watching the game but THT hasn’t looked like himself. I will say, the outside noise will only get louder as the trade deadline grows closer. |

| The lakers are making half their threes and getting a layup or free throws on every drive. Scoring should be easy. |

Lakers should stop playing games til after the trade deadline, they’re only tanking their trade values.

He's really raw still. One game can be eye popping. Next game, -27. |

It's not even competitive.
Reminds of me that line from the "Friday Night Lights" movie, went something like
"How is it out there?"
"Well. They are big. Strong. Fast. Mean. Nasty. Big."
"You already said big."
Minus entire front court it is honestly a tad naive to think the team can beat some of the talent loaded teams in the West |
We ain’t beating anyone in the nba. We might not even be a Final Four team.

Deep with an asterisk*
The squad requires 2 of AD, LBJ, and DS to be playing. |

| Those OT games vs crappy teams should have been an early clue. Gasol was too slow and Trez too short. |

| I can take an off shooting night. What bothers me is the underpeformance of our higher paid players. DS, KCP and Montrel have done nothing. Kieff is just getting a fraction of what they make and he's being effective. |

Everyone bought into the hype we got better in the off season. We didn’t.

One thing that is hard for me to not pay attention to is the fact vs the Hawks, with a true Center type (Jones), Lakers were competitive.
After they let Jones go and relying on Kieff, etc to be "Centers" their defense in the interior has been like a soft cushion. I know they chose to gamble with buyouts (Drummond), but the defense is just god awful without a true Center.

MM for the most part without LBJ has been solid on both sides of the ball. DS has been a complete disappointment. |
