It's important to understand that in the NBA it really doesn't matter who starts, but more so who finishes! Javale in the starting lineup makes the most since, he's a returner and plays really well off of AD and LBJ, protects the rim and rebounds, exactly what the team needs.

If he has an off game, then we sit him and in comes Dwight. I'm glad we were able to resign him and then sign Dwight, he's the perfect fit for our team!

Let's go get this Ring!!!

Good to see Javale playing better, I like our 2 headed monster at center!

hopefully this is a regression back to the mean and not a once every 10-15 game fluke. we've seen javale have solid games last season, but you could count on one hand when he gave this type of effort on both ends. with his length, he should be close to average a double double every game even in limited minutes.

Gotta give him some love on his first shift. He was so active on defense in helping the team to a 20+ point lead.

Yup, I am here to give him credit- his season did not start off well, but he has made the adjustments and is certainly earning his keep out there now.

Glad Vogel is sticking with him. We're a better team with him engaged and confident.

Don't know how much scratch he'll get in the playoffs, but the more + mins he can eat up in the regular season the better.

McGee has began to figure spots to make an impact on offense, and then also this ignites his energy on D. He is doing a lot more swatting and contesting now.

JaVale McGee is still a blocking menace
Quote:
Despite the arrival of defensive-minded big men Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard, JaVale McGee remains an imposing presence in the area for the Los Angeles Lakers.

According to McGee the difference between the Lakers and the Warriors is we have a strong bench and bench bench:

Remember when everyone thought WCS would be a DPOY level player? Some wanted us to use the #2 pick we used on Russell on him.

JaVale had a good game, brought a lot of energy; particularly in the 3rd quarter (4 blocks).

Stats: 9 points (4-5 FG), 10 rebounds, 5 blocks, 1 assist, 1 steal, +11

There was a pretty funny picture of Javale last night that got posted to reddit. Nicked from Reddit, picture in link:

Hey r/Lakers. Heat fan here. What a great game last night.

Sorry for the poor picture quality but I was not really close enough to get a good shot of this. At some point during the third quarter, JaVale McGee stood with one leg on the announcers table while eating a sandwich. I was not in picture distance, but as a semi-professional heckler, I was in shouting distance. “Hey JaVale, whatcha eating?!” He just stared right through me chewing that sandwich. The next few plays, I think he grabbed a few tough boards and slammed an oop home.

I hope to see you all again real June!

Because he played the 3rd and Vogel doesn't seem to want to run him into the ground.

Is it good or bad that our starting center is pretty much invisible? Seems the only time I notice Javale is when he
A. could not gather a rebound in the crowd (almost like a light wind would blow him every which way),
B. fumble a pass (anything below his shoulder),
C. commit a dumb foul (after blowing a coverage on D).

Javale is really pure junk.
