    I mean he was wide open, can't complain about that. Now if he took that with 2 defenders on him then I'd have a problem.

    Good win over Clippers East and the process.

    Exactly. I mean, there was a second left on the clock. What other options are there at that point?

    Still tough match-ups but they are the most winnable of the next 10 games.

    Check in on the box score/highlights of the South Bay Lakers game tonight. One player that should have Ennis’ spot on the roster and the other that’s making Zu expendable are doing things.

    Lol damn. Sounds like a blessing in terms of good experience and opportunity to be a ton more involved.

    We need to give Caruso some extended run before his 40th birthday or he won't have any hair left.

    Heh heh heh. Dwight plays in obscurity now, where he belongs. Such squandered raw athletic ability and talent, what a moron.

    Would love to get the Knicks game because the next 5 games are brutal.

    Yes, but I really hope they find a way to win the home game vs the Warriors.

    That is the night of Kobe’s retirement ceremony.

    Can’t lose that one. Can’t do it.

    Just left the game, and we (Laker fans) outnumbered Hornets fans at least 60/40. The P&G Army was out in force tonight in Charlotte. The chorus of boos that greeted Dwight in the player introductions on his home floor was music to my ears.

    Way to represent. It was loud on tv at the end of the especially, the chants of “Lets go Lakers!” rang out.

    Kuzma has this subtle way of talking s*** without deliberately talking s***. This kind of ability only makes the worship greater for him for me. It's the Phil Jackson trait I used to love when Phil wanted to talk to certain people without actually talking to them. This guy is way beyond his years. The thought of this guy at age 25 with his ability is ridiculous.

    I don't think that Dwight really cares about basketball at this point.

    I love when we play away and it feels like a home game.

    JC and Randle two man game pretty much won us the game.
