    What went right? AD with another 37 point game, 2 in a row. Also Prince's shot returning.

    Wrong? The (lack of) defense in the fourth quarter. So sketchy to barely win this one with a meltdown.

    Bueno:
    AD and Wemby taking turns posterizing each other
    Cam’s defense!
    Austin super solid again
    Prince’s much needed scoring
    DLO’s assists
    Wood actually helped!
    Wemby’s pair of clutch threes
    Metta rocking his tie fitment super loose: just how I would rock mine if I had to wear a suit and tie to work.

    Malo:
    Lost focus in the Fourth- especially on defense
    Having to see Pop’s face- I can’t stand him
    Wemby’s over the back rebound dunk on Wood- if that would have been a Laker, it surely would have been called an offensive foul

    If I wasn’t blessed to have grown up in SoCal, I would probably be a salty, jealous Laker hater too.
    Anyway, what I cannot stand is C Bags fans pretending to be on par with the Lakers when their Franchise has only won ONE Chip in the past 38 seasons!

    I enjoy the salty debate

    :Laugh:

    We were all once not a fan of having logos on jerseys, but it’s now the norm. Financial incentives end up permeating sports at every level at some point.

    this tournament is no different

    but it is very interesting to see the stark contrast of effort and energy between games they find meaningful and ones not so much

    Between a normal December game and one of 82 vs one in the playoffs or one in this first tournament and 500G? Who woulda thunk it …. mind bottling.

    I like that we’re in here having arguments about if we should even acknowledge accomplishments other teams would be talking about for years.
    :Laugh:

    Damn it’s good to be a Lakers fan

    No AD, Cam, or Dlo

    Defense is going to be rough out there with no AD and Cam

    We get a good look at Austin and the rook, running the point for a whole game now.

    Cam, D-Lo and AD didn't play but CONGRATS to the Spurs for snapping an 18 game losing streak and nabbing their (checks the standings to make sure not hallucinating) 4th win of the year.

    Not Right or Wrong, but is Max Christie ever gonna start making shots for us?

    Dept of Coincidences?

    D-Lo was listed as out due to "migraine headache"...which I suddenly contracted myself 3 minutes into the 2nd Q, when we went down 49-24.

    I think Kareem dealt with his migraines - which were so bad at times he once described it as "the Alien inside my head" - with meditation and cannabis...

    ...Which is also kinda dodgy 'cuz some of D-Lo's decisions this year made me suspect he was high during games.

    I’d like to Castleton get some burn against other teams’ benches and be “told” to be aggressive and try to make some moves and score down low on offense, not just gimme dunks. Even in garbage time. He’s got a solid enough body now to play. He plays so conservative but has more I’m sure.
