Watching Bucks vs Lakers and Giannis is just too easy to game plan for...

As long as you have the right personnel!

The Lakers definitely do. Most teams in the league don't.

That's true but I think at full strength we do as well.

Are the lakers beatable this year if healthy?  I haven't watched them once.

They are pretty clearly the best team in basketball if they are healthy and they should only get better from a synergy perspective as Gasol, Schroder, Matthews, and Harrell learn the system, their roles, etc.

 I havent seen them more than once either. I’m curious what people think. I thought losing Danny Green was maybe going to hurt them and I really thought Gasol was cooked. Wes Matthews hasn’t been good for awhile. I like Schroeder but not sure how it’s going. I wonder if they’ll need one more piece to take out the Nets once they’re fully formed. On paper if the Celts could add a wing piece I’d feel it’s worth going for it.

Yup. Completely agree with that. TP.

Kuzma shooting 5 threes out of his 10 FGAs each night and hitting 40%. That is impressive growth if he can maintain anywhere close to those numbers.

The Warriors broadcast is pretty amazing.  Not sure it’s my style, but they really put a lot into it and definitely create a feel.  The stuff during the break especially.
Yup

Haven't seen it but the TNT broadcast with Marv Albert breathing into a microphone with almost zero basketball noise in the background and the occasional Chris Webber comment is depressing me.

I think I must have the free week of league pass or something.  No commercials.  It looks like they play the same promos and DJ mix stuff that they play at the arena during the break.  They definitely take some came for how it all blends with each other though.  Just a totally different production.
Yup

Yeah, they didn't have KD yesterday. But the Nets lost again and allowed 125 points. If anything, I think the biggest weakness on the Nets right now even with their Big 3 is that defense.

The Nets overall have allowed 115+ points in 6 of their last 7 games (including 147 to CLE in 2OT). They'll be fine against bad teams and of course they are still a real threat. But is their plan to basically just outscore teams similar to what the Rockets and Harden typically tried to do in the years they didn't have CP3?
