    At least we kept it competitive for 3 and a half quarters tonight. Honestly, that was way better than I thought it would be. Granted the final score didn't show the level of our effort but we had a lead in the third quarter.

    Absolutely. We just did not have the depth, but it was a good game.

    If free agents choose them over us, that would appear to be really foolish.

    I know things have looked bleak over the past couple of days, but everybody needs to keep their head up, from the team, to Laker Nation.

    Why are we constantly the butt of every article, rumor, and criticism that comes out? Because they are ALL afraid of the Laker revelancy. They can’t take that we are in a position to once again get back on top WHETHER WE GET DAVIS OR NOT.

    Even though the C Bags have one more banner than we do, they only have 1 fluke in the last 30 years, and that required a super team vs a Laker team that was just getting started. We’ve had 5 and both were over strong runs of great teams. It takes a lot to recover from the loss of a franchise player, but we’re back in it now, everyone’s talking about us, that’s what fear does to people.

    Stay strong and we’ll get through this Laker fam.

    This is exactly the type of game we needed after the AD fiasco. Builds confidence and chemistry in the locker room.

    Wow did we need that. That felt so good after the past few weeks of turmoil.

    Loved the overrated chants, cause we just showed them and the Pelicans what they missed out on. Tatum looked good, but Kuz had that swagger and that big 3 at the end was huge.

    Let’s go Lakeshow!

    We needed that, we needed that so bad. We lose this on a Kyrie layup and a fumbled last possession and heads hang even lower. That 9 three pointer 3rd is something I never thought I’d see this team do. Kuz caught fire, KCP caught fire, what a show. Major props for guys like McGee showing up and playing all out even when we were down, guys like KCP and Lance giving us a boost with a very short bench. What a shot by Rondo, wow. This win may have washed away all the bad feelings in the locker room from the trade deadline for at least a little bit, and we desperately needed that. Was just fun to watch too, down 6 with like a minute left and we still won. Oh and F*** Boston. The C Bags, the Patriots, The Red Sox, the Bruins, the whole city, hell the whole state and all of New England really.

    I'm out of breath. This feels so good. This should lift the guy's spirits. A win over the evil empire cures all ills.

    I haven’t shouted like that since 0.4. Almost woke my fam up. That was about a satisfying win you could hope for. Coming back from 18 down, beating the greenbacks in Boston? Hell yes!

    Magic was a genius trading for 2 shooters. No wonder we set the franchise record for most 3's made!

    Man we desperately needed that, a loss would have broken this team. Maybe this is galvanizing win that pushes this team into the playoffs.
