Rumors of the LeBron and the Lakers demise without AD are greatly exaggerated

[QUOTE=KhalDrogo;17053733]You can jump forward and draw contact. You cannot move laterally. That is the rule. It was applied correctly.

They should change the rule this offseason.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, if that play was legal and that was a defensive foul, you’re right that they definitely need to change that in the offseason. That looked crazy to me that an offensive player can do that and also get the foul called on the defense for 3 free throws.

They actually need to fix the issues with reviews in general. I don’t know what the answer is, but close games really start to drag in the 4th quarter with all these official reviews.

whats the rule with leading with an elbow and hitting someone in the face? post players are called for an offensive foul all time, sometimes flagrant when its not a natural movement.

It was determined to be his shooting motion. You’re up by like 30. Quit crying over one call.

lakers arent world beaters without ad but they really struggle missing 2 starters in schroeder and ad. 2 way players that can create on their own. i wasnt worried in the slightest over the past week and a half.

dont like it, ignore it....

Wow heck of a finish in the Celtics game. Jayson Tatum taking over!

Down by 5 with :45 seconds to go it's all Tatum. He scores on 2 quick plays get's them within 1. They trap Beal on the inbounds and he falls and goes out of bounds.

Tatum get's the ball on the next play and scores the game winner.

Man... Beal looked disoriented out there

Wow. The wizards are just a losing team. Celtics aren't much better this year, but the wizards just suck.

Nah...

and back to back wins vs Portland and Golden State (assuming they don't blow it), makes it look not too bad.

Looked like a sucker those last couple possessions.

+6.5 for the Wiz pays!

Caruso legit looks like a conehead minus the headband.

I wouldn't get too excited about rolling 2 other banged up teams.

Didn't they just lose 5 of 6?

Schroeder back helps.

The Lakers are not repeating without AD.

take away george/leonard, embiid/simmons, giannis/middleton, jokic/murray, golbert/mitchell etc. any contender loses one of their top 2 players they are not winning a championship. well brooklyn would be ok since they have 3 tier 1 players in their starting lineup.

Won $1,200 tonight on 2 separate 3 team parlays. Had the Bucks and Griz on both tickets and Knicks on one and the Heat on the other. Thank you Miami for finishing strong, that wasn't looking good for a bit. :D

11 of the 20 Hawks losses have come when the team has had a lead in the 4th quarter

I don't think anyone would expect them to.

Just like the Warriors aren't winning without Klay, the Clips aren't winning without PG13, the Nets aren't winning without KD, the 76ers aren't winning without Simmons, or pretty much anybody without their second best player.

The objective is to stay afloat without him and let him get healthy. They are now 7-5 without him this year, and 5-5 in Feb with him out. The last two games have been a turnaround from what was looking pretty ugly.
