DMC = Mo Speights

He can't move laterally and teams are targeting him each second that he's on the floor.

It doesn't help that everyone knows how easy it is to frustrate him, significantly slowing GSW's free flowing offense.

When Boogie sees the p&r coming:

 

[DDolla]

Denver destroying the Lakers

 

[GhostOfPGA]

LeBron James choice to play for the Lakers was clearly not a basketball decision. Not upset that the Lakers are struggling in the least but, I will admit to missing the greatness of "Playoffs LeBron".

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Yay ESPN lets let Lebron congradulate himself for 4th all time on the scoring list, while his team gets dismantled again. My goodness ESPN is obnoxious with the Lebron / LA thing...

 

[Cugel]

Does ESPN et al showing LBJ highlights 24/7 really bring them more revenue?

 

[riverman]

Now the media is spinning "Could Popovic coach the Lakers" crap......they're clearly desperate

 

[DDolla]

Can I say Let’s Go Lakers here?

 

[wizenheimer]

Can I say Let’s Go Lakers here?

you can try, but if it was me, I think I would choke somewhere around the 'a'

I stopped watching them for it and I believe a lot of other people did too.

 

[THE HCP]

Looks like King James will take have a “reduced role” the rest of the season.

The LakerTank has been officially launched.

Seemed like it started about the time Lebron was trying to send the whole team to New Orleans.

IMO, they stand an excellent chance of ending up with Zion.

Probably get the #1 and send Zion to NO for AD? I think that's what @hoopsjock said.

 

[DDolla]

Jrue Holiday out 7-10 days, hope he don’t play against us. We need all the help we can get.

I think there will be a rash of 1-2 week injuries to starters on lottery teams....too cynical?

 

[KingSpeed]

LeBron shutting it down. Reduced minutes and no back to backs. With about 20 games left. What a failure.

Nah, too cyclical.

I broke that news over 2 hours ago......oh well. Catch up Rook.

When you do home games is there a lot less “set up / prep” time then road games? I assume all your equipment is set up all the time?

 

[joeBlazers]

We were chasing the #2 seed. Now I'm worried, the Lakers might catch up to us.
The Western Conference is f&(&_ brutal.
And YES, we could lose to the Suns ...

WHAT...

Pretty much the same. I go in 6 hours early instead of 7. Today was great. Love working for TNT...... it’s like a day off for me.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Zach Lowe's ten things; nothing Blazers. My personal theme from it is that it's good to have smart players on your team, like Chris Paul, Joe Ingles, Kelly Olnyk and Paul George. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26173297/10-things-like-including-chris-paul-swagger

WOW Memphis just beat Utah

 

[Hoopguru]

WOW Memphis just beat Utah

OMG...Utah best be thinking of firing their coach and changing GM's. Unacceptable to lose on the road in the NBA, against a non playoff team!
What has this league become?

 

[joeBlazers]

How do you like our remaining schedule? Looks like we are done playing the big Guns / Trouble teams (except for Denver twice).
Utah, GS, Houston, Thunder, Celtics, bucks, raptors, 76ers, ... are all in the books. We have the potential (highlight potential) to win 65-70% of the remaining games, which should give us well above 50 wins.
Obviously, we need to remain focused and take every game seriously.
Thoughts?

It’s winning time. I worry Houston is gonna have a long win streak and will be hard to catch but we’ll see.
