Lakers are over-rated, but Paul looked bad after the injury.

Lol I'm glad I'm wrong on the Lakers/Suns prediction. Predicted a Lakers sweep.

Hope to see Ayton and Booker continue their dominance in this series. Can't stand Queen James and Anthony Davis, prima donnas.

Davis just didn't show up. The Lakers are so entitled. The Refs did there part but Lakers just didn't show.

Never understood why people were assuming that the Lakers would smack the Suns or Jazz in the 1st round - both of those teams are fantastic.
Only those buying into ESPN-tier narratives were. The Lakers are very flawed and both Utah and Phoenix are strong all across the board. You don't fluke your way to a 70% win % and a 8.96 and 5.67 SRS respectively.

Why can't we get players like Crowder?

 ;)

You do not appreciate them.

I don't think he meant you specifically but if someone on our team isn't exactly Michael Jordan there will always be threads and posts complaining how bad they are and need to leave the team. It's tiring.

Let's be real.  If Michael Jordan were on the team, there'd be those on here clamoring to trade him.   Seven seasons to win his 1st championship.  The slackard.

Jordan is too old to help this team.  >:( ;D

We're as good as the Lakers so far this year.

Talking bout Jordan, what happened to DeAndre Jordan? Fall off a cliff?

Crowder is a fantastic role player
This is the whole issue - Crowder saw himself as more than that here. People must be forgetting Crowder's tantrum about us signing Hayward.

He sucked at Cleveland, Utah and Memphis. Turned it around in Miami, but we weren't missing some star role player this whole time.

Wrong! Crowder did not like the home fans rooting for Hayward against him. Nothing wrong with him wanting to be appreciated.

Nobody was rooting against Crowder. That makes absolutely no sense. Fans were happy to be adding an All-Star forward alongside the #3 pick. Crowder saw the writing on the wall and had a tantrum, then was trash for 2-3 years.

Are you kidding? What a revision of history! The garden fans cheered for Hayward when he played for Utah in Boston.

So? Crowder got in his feelings because the fans (as well as the coaches and managers) wanted a better player at his position. Him being that sensitive is on him.

People are actually able to want an upgrade at a position while still wanting to retain that bench-level player at the same time.

Crowder is a cheap-shotting crybaby, glad he's not here.
