My genius is pretty much undeniable at this point. Right after the trade deadline I wrote about how back the Lakers were. I was ridiculued, called a clown and a fool for that take. Well, the losers and haters are sick and furious today. They were celebrating early in the second quarter when the Mavs held the 27 point lead. Luckily, I am a man of faith and loyalty. I never abandoned the purple and gold and they have proven me right. The championship run officially starts today.
I believe the LakeShow is now 4-1 since the trade deadline and 3-0 with LeBron. They just might run the table. The most impressive new addition so far has been Jared VanderGOAT. Holy shit this guy is awesome! I swear he makes every fucking play. He was attached to the ball like white on rice today. Defense, rebounding, and finishing at the rim were all A+. At what point do we start putting this guy in the MVP conversation?
Malik Beasley is another newbie that’s added some much needed 3-pt shooting. He and the Lakers actually didn’t even shoot the ball very well today but he hit big shots at critical times. I’m so used to players forgetting the fundamentals of basketball when they play with LeBron that it almost made me cry today. I thought the same thing about Rodney Hood back in 2018 though, so let’s hold out judgements until the playoffs. Regardless, I was shocked and amazed to see what happened when you remove Russell Westbrook and surround LeBron with shooters. Basketball sure is complicated!
I also forgot that D’Angelo Russell was out today. Even the crippled Lakers get the job done! Also shoutout to Anthony Davis. He was not ADisapointment today. We’re going to need that every day going forward Anthony, not once a week.
As for the Mavs? Gross. I also predicted that the Kyrie trade would blow up in their faces. So far he’s yet to start any socio-political warfare in the locker room, but they haven’t won many games with him. It’s very awkward watching him and Luka feel each other up trying to see who should take the important shots. Personally, I’d roll with Kyrie. He’s as clutch as he is arrogant, so that’s pretty fucking clutch. Luka is no scrub in the clutch, and it’ll probably be him since he’s overall the better player and has been in Dallas longer. They need to figure shit like that out if they want a shot at the title. So far though they seem like frauds. My big assessment is that they live and die by the 3 ball. They were falling early, which is how they jumped out to the big lead, but once it goes cold they are so fucked. They’ve gotten close in the playoffs but it’s just too much Luka sometimes, and the history shows it’s hard to win with someone that ball dominant. We shall see.
Be prepared world. The LakeShow is coming to every city in America, and you better be prepared for the TwitterArmy to come out in full force soon. Stay tuned.
