Small market team mentality. Don’ t get mad and complain. Just get better. Everyone want everything handed on a silver platter but when a large market does it everyone calls foul.
The conversation is about tampering. What are you talking about guy.

So what. Large markets already have a built in advantage when it comes to recruiting talent and so of course smaller markets are going to react to what they perceive as tampering. If we want to talk about whether it is tampering or not that is a completely different argument.??? Exactly. Whiners (small market teams) complaining that LeBron is tampering with AD, because he answered a question asked by the media. That’s not tampering, its answering a question. But there have been many media reports that small market teams are complaining about that.
My response was to the tampering charge levied by small market teams
A lot of players want to play for large market teams because they will get better sponsorship opportunities and more national exposure. There is a reason why certain teams tend to be consistently mentioned when a players preferences come out. Typically they want to play in LA or New York over other places and that gives those teams an advantage over small market teams. They can also have an advantage in trades as well because a lot of good players have no trade clauses.What are the built in advantages?

Wow the Warriors get smoked at home by the Lakers even after LeBron got hurt.
Outscored by 17 points in the 4th.
Bad shooting game as usual when they lose big but this game again illustrated how small the Warriors are this year without Javale and Zaza and with Damian Jones likely out for the year. Bell has had a very poor year so far so it's really Looney and Green at teh 5. That's why Jerebko plays so much, teams are just attacking the Warriors inside with no rim protection.
Obviously if Boogie comes back and is remotely healthy he'll change some of that but they are just not the same. Klay still only shooting 34% from 3, Durant his lowest 3% since 2010. Really interesting to see what Kerr does to change things up.
With this loss they're 15-4 in games all 4 of Durant, Curry, Klay and Draymond have played, but this was a total butt kicking.
Rondo was brilliant tonight for the Lakers.

If you're counting on Boogie to fix the Warriors interior defensive issues then you're in more trouble than I thought.
IMO, he is kinda like Carmelo going to the Rockets. A "talent" who does not remotely fit into what has brought the team success. I expect that the Warriors will rebound better with him, score less (because he plays at a slogging pace), defend worse... because he doesn't really care on that end, and increase their technical fouls. And that is if he is healthy. But, even if he is that bad it shouldn't hurt much because Kerr has the clout to bench him.
Anyway, I think the Warriors problems right now are mostly because Durant and Green loathe each other, the whole team knows it and it's depriving of the fun they had in previous years... but I think they will swallow their hate in the playoffs and the Warriors will remain the heavy title favorite that they should be.
The star of the game was Ivica Zubac = 9/10 from the field and 11 boarrds. BPM of +25 Why they don't play him has always baffled me... he puts up decent stats when he does play. Maybe he's fragile in some way. This is his 3rd year of twiddling his thumbs on the bench, and his usage is declining.
My word, Doncic is on an entirely different level. What a player.
