    Maybe we'll trade it before we kill its value this time?!

    What a response against a healthy Dallas team on a back to back. Glad to see Zo and BI show that fight after Luke's "passion" comment.

    1-0 since Kobe's tweet.

    Ingram and Zo had really nice games, closed it out when it mattered this time, and Beasley was big for a stretch. Also, Utah is in 9th and lost, so we picked up a game of separation on them.

    Ok, great and timely win tonight! Wow, we needed that one desperately. The second half we really put on a clinic with killer D and some great energy. Loved this W.

    yeah, not sure if this is optimism or wmc: where has that defensive intensity been for the entire season? play like that every night, and you're in first right now instead of fighting for your playoff lives.

    ^^^^ the whole team would be injured after 10 games playing with this kind of intensity.

    I hope BI ankle is fine ...

    Two solid wins in a row with our young leaders doing a good job pushing the pace and cementing these wins. Keep it rolling in Utah!

    As I popped into Game Day in the 1st quarter and mentioned I couldn't watch the game as I was across the street at the Microsoft Theater on a shoot. Global Summit for the WeWork corp. But I was thinking of all you guys 30 minutes before midnight 15 1/2 hours into the day hoping we got the win. Because.... true story ..... at the end of one of those big honking square 80x zoom lenses that we have on the cameras for about 20 seconds my whole frame was filled up by Flea's Lakers themed bass guitar. He had it on for that song and stopped jumping around and running all over the f****** stage just long enough and I zoomed into his bass and couldn't believe my eyes.... Boom there it was. I totally thought of you all while trying to stay in tight focus at almost full telephoto. The Peppers closed this evening's program. Oh hell yeah seeing that guitar.

    Maybe we won’t need that tank after all lol. But seriously these are the type of wins these kids are capable of and should be getting even with lebron out.

    We are number 3 in the league on defense since Bron went out. (and no I’m not saying we don’t need him back) That’s impressive.
