    worked well for DLO. I have full sleeves myself after turning 18, and am looking to do my chest and back this next year. Kind of a mashup of Conner Mac on the front, and Chosen one on the back. Unless bron sux, then hellz no.

    I don’t really judge other people’s tattoos because that stuff is really personal to someone and often very meaningful. Unless you can tell the person got it in someone’s kitchen from someone with no gloves and a cat chillin next to them on the table, or in prison, then you’re open to mocking imo because you should have gone to a pro. The only one of Kuz’s tattoos that makes me chuckle is the Kuzmania one because it’s kind of cheesy to tattoo your own nickname/hype name(?) and also because it’s supposed to be like the Hollywood sign I assume, so I’m guesssing he’s hoping like hell he never gets traded out of LA. Can’t really have Kuzmania to same degree in like Cleveland or Utah...

    Well, in Cleveland they may actually put it on the side of a mountain. Why not?

    Dope cover on Kuz:



    Some quotables...



    As for the trade stuff....

    I bet LA tries really hard to hold onto him when we reengage with Nawlins for AD.

    What I loved about Kuz tonight? He was having a decent game offensively, but every time the team looked down or out, he was out there hustling and making plays. Whether it was trying to get the offense going or putting that effort to grab an offensive board, Kuz was a leader out there.

    It would really suck to lose him. Great player and great kid.

    But seriously...the Lakers are 29-29...with LeBron friggin James on the roster. Something has to change for us to play LAKER basketball.

    The current roster just isn't good enough to be in line with expectations.

    At the end of the day I want Ws...I don't care which players get em for us. Once we start winning, I will care about winning pretty but the focus for now has to be winning ugly.

    Injuries played a huge part in our results so far. It was my stance at the beginning of the year and I still believe the Lakers are a top-3/4 team in the west if healthy. If we can finally have a few weeks of everybodyavailable and in shape this team could go on a serious run.

    Injuries played a part. We also had the softest schedule in the NBA.

    We were never great at any point in the season or in the last 6 years for that matter.

    I've been on the Kuz train for a while. I think he's got a lot of potential and has shown some real flashes this season.

    Good game last night in a win we really needed.

    I can agree on not great, but did you really expect the team to be that this season? They showed a lot of promise in the early stages of the season.

    As frustrating as this season has been so far, all things considered the team didn't really disappoint. We may have to accept the fact Bron ain't the best player in the NBA anymore.

    yikes. his comments about the trade deadline are pretty damning regarding what it did to the culture in the locker room.

    Agreed. But the Lakers record has more to do with roster construction than injuries, IMO. The problem though, like some people have pointed out, is if we didn't sign Lance, Beasley, and Rondo, who else were we going to sign that filled the shooting hole? 47 year old Jamal Crawford? Rerun the Swaggy experiment? This team was a end-of-the-pack Western Conference playoff team when the season started. It looks like that despite missing Lebron for 1/4 of the season, we will finish at the end of the pack.

    I can't say I blame them. In September, Lebron was talking about all these kids saying they are future stars. 5 months later he is trying to ship every single one of them off for one dude who happens to have a quasi business relationship with you.

    AD does not suck though. Kobe (and every sane player) would do the same thing...

    I'm not saying it was the wrong decision. I'm just saying that if it was happening to you, you'd feel pretty betrayed. These guys are young and still probably have idealistic feelings about how the NBA should work.

    Oh but wait... There's more!

    This guy... probably.

    But of course our fragile youngns will make waves in the media spotlight while stuff like this goes largely ignored.



    You know...cause Magic/Rob are inconsiderate novices while Ainge is the goat executive that remains unscathed.
