    He is clutch. I've said it before, he wants the ball at the end, he wants the big shot, and as a fan you want that kind of guy on your team. He had some careless turnovers and some poor D, but he's 19, he will get it. No joke though, he may need to toughen up a bit, scared the crap out of me the way he layed out for an ankle tweak. I thought he tore a knee up, no need to overdo it.

    Watching it again though, it did look worst than I though because he pushed off the ankle after it rolled. He got elevation on the layup off a twisted ankle.

    Going to bed, hoping he's okay. I'd be okay with him being the next big Laker.

    Yeah D'Angelo was fantastic tonight. The offense went to s*** when he went out. He's a floor general, but also clearly has that killer instinct that you need from a closer. Made some big time moves going to the basket. Was terrific on that screen and roll and was hitting that mid range shot again. It was a great performance. Kid is legit.

    Whenever D'Lo recovers from this ankle injury, he HAS to be back in the starting lineup.

    If Russ had the ball at the end, I think we do win it. it's not that Clarkson isn't really really good, it's just that Russel is a true PG, and I don't think Rondo's hands would have worked on Russel.

    I think he will be out a few games. Please don't say that means more MH.

    Moderate sprain? That's great news, but damn you can't sprawl out and act like you tore your knee apart for that. Scared the crap outta me, this ain't soccer, lol.

    Great game from Russell. He and Randle should be back in the starting lineup. Clarkson plays better with them, Kobe plays better with them. They just look better as a team when the best players are in together.

    Good post game interview right now, kid has a lot of confidence. He said he felt the Kings kinda got lucky that he got hurt. Said if he wouldn't have went down he woulda probably hit some "bs" shot because he was felt he was really hot and "making eveything" and that they woulda won.
