Kevin Porter Jr is done in the NBA tbh.

I can see some team taking a chance on him thinking he has more potential then has he has shown this season and hoping he matures, he's only 21.
It doesn't look good right now. Had incidents with 3 different teams and right now is having a bad season.
So is Kawhi Leonard ever gonna play basketball again?What a ing bum.
Lakers' scrubs going HAM and they're only up three on a mediocre Hawks team at the half
This went well …
Schedule only gets tougher for the Geriatrics from here. Time will tell if they've figured things out of if they just beat up on compe ion.
He's definitely not coming back this year. He can milk his injury and get paid free money for a year and we definitely know he loves collecting free money for doing nothing.
Lakers will get bounced in round 1 if they face the Suns or Warriors. If they play the Jazz in round 1 then they will get an upset, but I don't see them going past round 2 because they will face either Suns or Warriors.
Lakers match up horribly with the Jazz imo. Could see them beating the Suns.
The Lakers are pretty much the same team they were last year granted they have Westbrook, but he doesn't solve the problems they had with Booker last year. Suns will carve them up again. Ayton also neutralizes Davis.
I would love to see the Jazz take them out, but I just don't trust them. They remind a lot like the Derozan Raptors. They will find a way to choke like they always do. Both Donavan and Gobert just come across as mentally weak in pressure situations and will melt the moment Lebron has a great game.
Lakers beat the Suns with Davis last year tbh, though it might've been more of a tossup. Davis presented a lot of matchup problems.
Jazz are better coached than the Lakers, much deeper, and outside LeBron and AD have better players across the board. They can also play any style while the Lakers can only play slow. Would be shocked if a series between the two went past five games (albeit the refs could have a big effect on the series).
Lakers also benefitted from Chris Paul getting hurt earlier on in that series since it allowed them to jump out to a 2-1 lead. Chris was hurt throughout that series after taking that hard hit in game 1 to his shoulders. So, it works both ways. They were still going to lose that series if both teams were at 100 percent. Suns also blew out the Lakers this year with ease. Outside of CP3 they are younger and already have the experience of beating Lebron so psychologically they are not fazed by him or the Lakers.
The Jazz talent wise have the deeper team and better coached than the Lakers but with a young team like them it always comes down to the mental game. That series last year against the Clippers was an epic choke job. They should have won that series especially after Kawhi went down. That to me showed me they were not mentally strong. I question their mental toughness against the Lakers because Lebron has a history of breaking young teams mentally and I have seen teams fold against him in the playoffs when they should have won.
The Lakers literally play at the fastest pace in the league. 2021-22 Los Angeles Lakers Roster and Stats | Basketball-Reference.com
The Jazz have the same old issues. No true superstar and a lack of size/athleticism on the perimeter defensively.
« Clippers are winners 106 to 93 »
Lakers are a mid team especially without AD
If we get Bubble AD back we are not a le favorite but a potential dark horse … because Bron is playing well… if not Russ as problematic as he has been at times won’t matter. We need AD to support Bron and anchor our defense
Bucks good or Golden gots bad tonight?
Could this current Bucks team be slightly like the Prime Timmy Dunks teams that did not stress over regular season losses and rose to the occasion vs better teams?
Klay Thompson looks washed tbh. I know he's gotta play himself into game shape but I don't know if it'll make much difference.
Klay is a motion offense guy, he has to get into game shape and you cannot do that without being pushed by compe ion. All the practices won't do it, he can slack off there, can't in the real game though. I think he'll be ok if he doesn't get reinjured. That dunk (or lay in, don't recall) where he didn't land well was a bit scary. I'd tell him to 86 the highlights and get in game shape.
Durbetta out 4-6 weeks.
