    I honestly thing that PG ship has sailed. He's still "up for grabs" but it'll be hard to get him. Hopefuly the weather will do its work in OKC this year.

    You didn't see the sky was falling because PG is saying all the professional things a great player in his present position needs to say?

    The Thunder are 4-5 so far. We're 4-6.

    They've beaten the Bulls, Bucks, Knicks, and Pacers. They've lost to the Wolves twice, Jazz, and C Bags.

    We've lost to the Blazers, Jazz, Clippers, Pelicans, and Raptors. We've beaten the Suns, Nets, Pistons, and Wizards.

    I'd say we're not terribly different thus far. I expect them to pull away as the season goes on, but the longer they're average the better.

    Exactly. Im loving not hearing any talk about George... Not about attention but being 4-5 when you have 2 top 5 players in the league, Steven Adams and Carmello,losing to the Wolves twice and Jamz who both barely look like playoff hopefulls; Not a good sign. I dont care if its early.

    I believe he’s saying in addition to having two top five players along with those guys that they shouldn’t be a .500 ball club.

    Went back and gave him a "Like" because I agree. They're not setting the world on fire either. Yet.

    hopefully they continue to be mediocre and we continue to improve, have PG long to be home and see a competitive Laker team

    I honestly believe Zo, Ingram & Kuz will all be much better after about 20-30 games.

    Too bad PG loves it so much there that he will never ever leave. I'm sure he's got multiple realtors now working on selling his house in CA for one on the plains in OK with a lot of land so he can put him a herd of cattle on it.

    Optimism? I love this starting unit with Kuzma in it! They are very solid now. Sorry Larry.

    Oh by the way, great freaking game tonight. Big time W against a very good Memphis team. Yes, we lost that huge lead, but Memphis does that to teams. Held on to get the win and played some great ball this evening. Go Lakers!
