Not having Ronnie Price healthy so BS can dick Lin around helps too.


It was more of Scott giving up on his offense and just said fine just have the ball all the time, sprinkle some horns or corner offense. In the beginning he wanted to run that slow grind it out deliberate offense. Which is scary cause Scott will return to that next year. They should have told him we are gonna hire you but for the love of God no Princeton.

I want to see a run and gun kind of offense next year with the young core. I'm not talking Dantoni offense obviously since that is more like 8 second offense.

I want to see aggressive moves in the paint, young guys like Clarkson and Randle running all over there defender with theirs quickness at their positon, make Kobe either hang in the post or play more off ball.

...now I know for sure that last part is not gonna happen but I think with Kobe's last year and all, I think it's more important for him to take a mentor role and look for other teammates more than scoring himself. With a whole new team next year, and Kobe's swan season, he won't need to do that anymore.

Why do people assume that if Love doesn't work out here, we can just trade him? Because that is not realistic if anything.

If Love doesn't work out here just like he didn't work out for the Cavs, while being signed to a max contract, it would be the Amare Stoudimire situation all over again. No one would even think about trading for him or his huge overpaying contract.

And lastly, the damage would be done and he would hurt Randle's growth tremendously as the real bigman for this team.

So no, Love getting traded is not even easy on that end. And getting him in the first place is a terrible idea.

Just let Love go to the Knicks and let them overpay him while we watch and see him crumble like he has been with the Cavs. Only this time, in a much bigger market team. Let the Knicks make that mistake.


My boy!! Thank you!!

I don't understand the "if he doesn't work out we can just trade him" logic. If he doesn't work out it'll be because he's hurt, and we won't be able to trade him. Or because his play has diminished, and we won't get much value for him.

I'll say it again, if we sign him it will be like the Steve Nash trade, but the FA signing version


Blake Griffin's ankles be aware....Randle is coming...next year


Considering Randle will be officially a rookie still next year, and yeah who knows, maybe he will have a similar Blake Griffen year?

Didn't affect Noel much either. Randle's injury in the grand scheme of things is not that serious. He will recover and be just fine like the other players in his position before him have as well.

I find your lack of faith for Randle disturbing.


Except Randle broke the thickest bone in his body on a non contact play.

So did Paul George and he'd be playing right now if he was in game shape.

Season being near, helps to.... last year it was Meeks and Young who started to put up big points after the AS break with a contract on there mind.... hopefully the Lakers aren't fooled with Lin..... he might just be looking his way out of L.A. by playing with a extra effort.... there is no way a player who was struggling mightly suddenly starts to play like a relevant player.... he wants the contract he solely desires.

It wasn't non contact, he smashed his own leg - it was a freak accident

Good. I for one would have zero trust in any doctors affiliated with the Lakers. *Nash, Karl Malone, Kobe

That doesn't make any sense. Non of the health problems related to lakers players came from the doctors. It has always been the question mark of the training staff and Gary Vitti if anything.

You're ignoring that there was a report that Randle had a hairline fracture (probably from the hard practices, running, scribbages by BS) before the actual break.

He broke his tibia, which is not the "thickest" bone in the body that would be the femur. This will not effect him in anyway going forward other than the year of development he missed.

That is because Towns is getting beat when he helps off the driver. Then his man waltzes in uncontested and gets the put back. It's more of a team defense issue. With Okafor it's more of a lack of effort/athleticism issue.

Additionally it's not hard to see towns is just a flat out better defender. So his rep will help reduce criticism

I've seen Towns get scored in the post, not properly contest drives, and fail to box out to grab rebounds. Auguste is abusing him tonight. Luckily he's balancing it out with great post play on the other end. Just need to call him out since Okafor would get crucified for a similar performance.

He's gotten beaten 1 on 1 a few times. So has WCS. But it's the dribble penetration & help the helper situations that are killing UK

Classy interview afterwards giving ND major props makes me want to see him in P&G even more.

Kid is a baller and a class act. Like Randle.

What a great pair to build around, and Clarkson as well.

It says a lot that Kentucky can rely on Towns' offense when the going gets tough. I like this kid a lot. If he can put it all together, he has special potential. This coming from the biggest Okafor fanboy on LG.

That is because Towns is getting beat when he helps off the driver. Then his man waltzes in uncontested and gets the put back. It's more of a team defense issue. With Okafor it's more of a lack of effort/athleticism issue.

Additionally it's not hard to see towns is just a flat out better defender. So his rep will help reduce criticism


I've seen Towns get scored in the post, not properly contest drives, and fail to box out to grab rebounds. Auguste is abusing him tonight. Luckily he's balancing it out with great post play on the other end. Just need to call him out since Okafor would get crucified for a similar performance.


I like Towns, but he was indeed getting scored on tonight. UK played better interior D when WCS was protecting the paint.

Please for the love of basketball reasons, lose these games Lakers.

I can't stop watching these college games and salivating over guys like Okafor or Towns or Russell.
