    Credit not only for what he did, but for what he didn't do!! In fact, I think they feigned left, while knowing they were going right the whole way.

    Honestly, this is the game that Kuz finally became a vet. First time I saw him actually doing all the little things that a winning franchise needs. If he can continue this type of play, with an occasional offensive break out, then I will want to keep him.

    Seriously? You can't tell "sarcasm" with the wording and remembering what went on here for so long and all my smilies? C'mon. Oh that's right I forgot you blocked people back then. Maybe you don't remember. These are NOT my words. Let's just say that.

    There's a familiar fragrance in the air today. Do you smell that? It's Fear of the Lakers. I love the smell of Fear of the Lakers in the morning. Smells like . . . victory.

    yeah, we should have NEVER brought in Lebron and traded all our really great players for AD. Pelinka is a loser!!!

    One thing we learned from the Warriors, having the best record ever doesn't do you any good if you had to burn your players and coaches out to get it. All the regular season is, is the chance to fine tune your game for the playoffs. That and sell seats to pay the players.

    I’m tickled pink with how this weekend went. 2 quality wins against tough competition. Let’s fine tune our lineups, get Waiters acclimated and gets some rest for our big two going down the final stretch. Added bonus: we are no longer losing leads when LeBron sits.

    Previous narrative: with the Clippers gelling, they will/are be the best team in the West.

    After Sunday: The Lakers will find the Clippers a tough out. LOL wut? Really?

    Eye roll... :)

    Not really sure where to put this, but it "optimism", I guess...
    Lakers have that brutal 5 Games in 6 Days, with 3 in a row, ending with the makeup Game against the Clippers coming up.
    I'm stoked that they're taking care of business now so that stretch isn't "do or die"..
    Lookin' Good.

    I expect us to have 1st seed locked up by then - so likely going to rest a lot of our guys during that stretch.

    Well at least now I work be exposed to our constant suckage at the game of basketball

    and I won’t have to endure a humiliating sweep at the hands of the Clippers in the playoffs

    ;)

    but props to the NBA leading the way in whatever area they touch. This may have been inevitable. If this the end of the season, it’s the most anti-climactic finish ever

    Is it bad that every time news comes out about closures and efforts to slow the COVID-19 spread, my first thought is "so is basketball coming back or isn't it?"

    What a team, man.... what a team! Bron is an alien, I have no other explanation watching him abuse everyone, from guards to centers at age 35... he was involved in most of the plays in the video.

    Also, have I ever mentioned how much I love this guy:

    Yeah.

    What a beast!

    No doubt in my mind it was payback for the Ball family and their act a couple years ago.
