The rebounding differential by itself is enough to cost many wins. It's all Pringles small ball. I can't believe you're still defending him.

That and over-help to block shots is all he does.
That's like the 5th time he posted that.
He just wants your attention give it to him man

That team finished 39-43 and missed the playoffs, but they played hard. Something this Laker team could do more of.
Sometimes a team never gets a chance to get out of the starting blocks right, whether it's injuries/coaching changes whatever. With all the talent on this team doesn't anyone think that eventually they'll go on a run of 5-6 wins in a row? Obviously they're on hard times now but when people get healthy you'd figure they luck into at least a 2-3 game winning streak. Shit, maybe the Lakers need to find their own journeyman Asian guard from an Ivy League school or something.

Eh, they already had that lucky 5 win streak where they beat the Knicks on Christmas Day....
It's all Kome ball from here on out and you are going to like it.
It makes perfect sense. Everyone accepted their roles on that team and knew their limitations.
On the current squad:
- Dwight wants iso-postups and refuses to be benched late to avoid hackashaq.
- Pau refuses to come off the bench so we start him and get killed on rotations.
- Metta wants to be a scorer, so his defense has suffered.
- Kobe is having to guard PGs at age 34 and play entire 2nd halves, so his energy suffers and he can't save us in the clutch
etc.
Is Dwight really seen as playing horribly right now? I didn't watch a lot of him when he was with the Magic, so maybe I just dont see it.
But watching him this season, and recently, he seems to be hustling. I mean damn, dude got 26 boards yesterday, had a few points in the paint, some blocks (the one at the end landing in Gallinaris hands was a fluke, Dwight was still in the right to block that shot).
I'm not really seeing where he is doing so 'bad'. But then again, I mainly watch the heat, who don't have a center worth shit TBH, so maybe he just looks good in comparison to my eyes. Nash looks great though, hopefully folks agree on that at least.

A good coach could fix that. Oh wait..... Nm
Rondo's reaction:
I don't remember that playoff game. C'z gonna get ate up by the 3 ball regardless.

So I assume all he needs to do is some conditioning and a practice or two and he's good to go?

LOL I'm sorry for posting more Royce shit, but as a Rockets fan I can't help myself. I recall when it was all about travel, man how things change when you can't start on the NBA squad. Those damn non protocol's in place holding him down!

What exactly are the protocols or are they just a figment of his imagination?
He refuses to tell anyone.
He just wants to force the NBA, Rockets, and NBAPA into an illegal player contract amendment through bad press.
It's back firing rather spectacularly.

It's almost impressive how Royce White has squandered all the good will any fans may have had for him.

All he going to do is dribble the ball up and give the ball to Pierce to play point forward just like last year.

Jorts got more playtime than him and he just got waived.
He isn't even that good at dribbling the ball. No idea why they decided to flood the team with SGs.
You mean "Pacers to continue using championship level passing for several more years"!
