    We're just gearing up getting ready to get the team in gear. Loving that the D is good and that we have a good and talented group of athletes who are no longer FAT.

    Also, the Floppers and the hated ones essentially did a franchise swap in the '70's. I think that's where the curse got started, and it's well deserved.

    So much b******* in this video haha. So yesterday before the Bulls game, NBATV sent 3DScott as part of a Player's Only access to the Lakers practice. Zo and Kuz were doing their usual 3 point/FT competitions and Scott had a hot mic when he was talking to Shaw about how our youngns are working really hard this season..here's how it went..



    Now other than the clear savagery that BShaw has done to not only Booker, but now DLo, did I hear Kuz s*** talking to Zo about Call of Duty or was that a** play? Hahaha

    I'm getting that tickling feeling again with this team, how many previous years teams would have rolled over and continue to take the beating in the second half. We showed HART and fought back and won.

    Thank you Kareem, for always testing the swear filter for us in creative ways. :D

    On topic, I’m with you alam, I was down after the Philly game, and I’m sure I will be again in December, but for now this team has shown me a lot. Say what you will about Luke, but he’s had us close to .500 around 20 games in twice now. Last season injury killed us, and then we traded away our scoring and tanked, purposely. This season we are trying to win, and while we aren’t great, I agree, this team doesn’t quit. Even in the Philly game they didn’t quit, just hated to lose to them. I saw our players quit on Brown, ‘Antoni, and B0ron, getting blown out by 20-30 points over and over and not caring. Luke may be flawed, but I haven’t seen a team quit on him yet.

    I'm optimistic we are building a very good team with lots of young talent. I want the core together more than I want free agents. Getting rid of Julius to get someone else would be folly. In . .2-3 years we will be saying if we just had Randle we would be a championship team. Bruiser with toughness and drive to succeed.. We have had incredibly fortunate drafts and I'm optimistic we will not throw them away. How much fun would it be to watch these guys grow with Luke to championship level?. Quite a bit.

    Yep. The inside scoop as to why a team would trade away and 20pt scorer. L.A. was too big for DLO, got caught up. JC was getting close to the same.

    On a phone if you click the Home button you see 3 small horizontal lines just to the right of it. Click those and the top is Forums and right below it Game Time. With Chrome anyway on my Samsung. Not sure about Tapatalk.

    I blame Zen and his excuse of "anti jinx" for talking trash about the team all game. Kinda like Lonzo's propensity for passing and sharing the rock rubs off on everyone else ..... but the opposite way. Everyone else starts bit****g too ..... even Cookie.

    Gearing up getting ready to get the team in gear? Could you have fit anymore cliches in one sentence using the same word?
