    @SFGOLDRUSHER thx for the love (in the other threads) homie!

    Bucks, Suns, C bags, Sac, Dubs, Clips, Blazers are all games we shoulda won. That puts us at 15-6 and at 3rd place in the West overall. Those Ls are going to really sting later, but it's crazy that we were in those games or favored to win those games.

    With Okc struggling, with the Griz in turmoil and with injuries affecting the Nuggets, Clips and Pels, we gotta find a way to stay afloat in Dec and get that 8th spot. Our youth, errors (ie missed FTs and unforced TOs) and inexperience (which includes coaching)is what's allowing us to drop these winnable games...so I'm sure stars are taking note of that.

    Win or lose, just remain competitive during this tough stretch of games and that's all we can ask for in terms of playing into May next year. I'm hopeful!

    Also 2 more weeks and we're officially in trade season. Let's get this "plan" of ours in full effect!

    WTF!!!! If Luke saw that Suns D, he would sub that entire lineup out....and that loser lineup would deserve it! That was disgusting to watch. We're pretty bad this year, but if we ever got that bad, the 2018plan wouldn't mean s*** cause we would be too far gone for any reprieve.

    Great improvement on free throwing by Ingram. Now Randle needs to do the same.

    Man I wanted that win in the worst way! B.I. With the ice cold jumper, shut them fools up.

    That was my favorite win of the season. Philly is full of flopping whiners, they celebrate like they won the championship on every made basket. They’re like the Clippers, but they’ve accomplished even less. I can’t stand Embiid, but Holmes might be even worse. Yeah, you made a layup, you don’t need to scream and beat your chest for a whole minute. I love that Philly has to stew on losing to us with a game winner the rest of the season. I hope they make the playoffs and get swept in round 1.

    Yeah Embiid is way too full of himself ...

    I was glad to witness his terrible PNR D down the strech which resulted in 7 Julius points

    We needed that win is such a bad way. So glad we kept strong and pulled it out with the BI three! Great start to the road trip.

    Funny how Ingram would've gotten an earful from everyone here had that shot did go in and we went on to lose the game in OT.

    I STILL ABSOLUTELY DON'T AGREE WITH THE
    PERIMETERLESS lineup we field in to finish some close games.

    The Lakers don't have a single reliable shooter on the team. When you have a perimeterless team, chances are you have to field a perimeterless lineup. lol

    I would have been upset if he missed it, but it was 100% the right shot. I can't be upset about that.
