wtf how is this possible in his 21st season? this is right near his career high: 57/40/75 in his prime heat days. Even if hes on roids like many pro athletes are this is unbelievable. people have been predicting his decline for like a decade.

Harden, Kawhi, PG, Lebron, AD. 10 years ago this coulda been the Team USA. Now they look like they are ready for the retirement home. Can they make a run at the finals? Im not so sure.

Paolo Bachero is shooting 45% from 3 pt on 3 attempts per game and 66% from free throws at 6 attempts per game. How can you shoot 3 pointers like steph curry and free throws like ben simmons?

When 2 superstars get together its for championship aspirations. Anything short of that is usually a disappointment. In recent times the pairing of superstars have been underwhelming to say the least.

Kawhi and PG13 were heralded to be the next MJ and Pippen. Its not even close.

Kyrie and KD were suppposed to come out of the east. It never happened.

Harden and Embiid were supposed to be the next Kobe and Shaq. LOL

KD and Booker were pretty underwhelming last year too.

Dame and Giannis were championship favorites after the trade. They looked pretty underwhelming so far.

So is pairing of 2 superstars overrated?

Clippers finally won one when he got benched. Even then he was 2-9 fg and -9. Those shots could be going to the big 3. They really dont need him at all so do they cut him or try to trade him for a role player?

Next game is vs the nuggets so they will probably lose. The game after is against the much improved rockets. I think they will lose that one too. Then 2 games against the spurs. I think they can win 1 of those. Then against pelicans, Mavs, nuggets, Kings, Warriors x2.

Theres a good chance they win like 2 games in the next 9. Will the locker room implode by then?

It only took getting blow out by the western title favorites rockets but he finally got his lowest min played in the season. The way the lakers look he might be able to do this the rest of the season.

I dont know why hes shooting it so much. he needed 18 fgs to get 13 pts cause god knows his 3s arent going in. He shot more than Kawhi and Harden. Its not a recipe for success.

Remember when Lakers were happy they got rid of him and got D'Lo? Pepperidge farm remembers. Might be the best contract in the league. Clippers will be scary once Harden gets on the court.

They are world class athletes with the best doctors, nutritionists, personal chefs and they get paid millions of dollars to stay in shape and play games. They can easily play basketball 2 nights in a row. There are people at YMCA who play every day. The potential injury issue is nonsense. Does anyone have any statistics on how many players get injured playing back to back? and is it significantly higher than non back to back injuries?

Michael Jordan played 9x 82 game seasons, 1x 81 game season, and 1x 80 game season. He played 82 games in his rookie year and 82 games in his last year in the league at age 40. If players really wanted to play every game they can. They just dont want to.

Westbrook and Harden both needing to handle the ball, it seems like having them both out on the court would be a bad idea. Im thinking that this line up would be the best

PG- Harden

SG - Mann

SF- PG13

PF- Kawhi

C- Zubac

with westbrook powell and bones coming in as the 2nd unit

They were supposed to be one of the contenders in the East but they are no where near that. They basically got swept in the 1st round last year and its not looking good this year.
