    I love it when fans jump the gun like that lol. We knew what we had to do to get here and have been making the right moves. I don't give the credit to Buss, I give the credit to the big homie Mitch... who will eventually land us a star to go along with our young bucks.

    I do not hear the usual suspects with the blaming lately. Magic aint saying s***, SAS isnt saying s***. This is why it is important to make sure you back up what you say. And if you make a mistake and apologize, fine. But it cant happen all the time. After a while, cred goes to s***.

    I always wondered where SAS came from? like where is his cred from? besides calling the big 3 in mia before everyone else i never seen him get anything right. Hes one of the reasons why people mock us prior to this season, every yr he pegged Love to come to us and last yr he was the idiot who claimed lebron would consider the lakers since he did what he said he would for clev

    I totally expected these guys to get it, and become a good team, but I did not expect it to happen so soon. I thought it would be next year, or after the All Star break at the earliest.

    This isn't luck, and we aren't relying on one guy to win us games. This is a pretty good team. This is for real!

    Yup, that's him. He's pretty active on the NBA subreddit.

    Apparently there was some drama with him on CL, but I always liked the guy. Good for him on hitting the shot and winning the money!

    But now I'm jealous :D

    That's one of my dreams to have an opportunity at a half court shot during a Laker games and just like Lakerswiz said in his interview, it's something I've been practicing for a long time. Usually when I go to shoot around at the courts by my house, I don't let myself leave until I hit a few half court shots in a row.

    We are going to the playoffs.

    Period.

    And we'll be a tough out for anyone. I guarantee the Warriors want no part of a first round matchup with us.

    Always pictured him early 20s in college and thin. Liked him. He was the one trying to keep CL together at the end .....up until the site went black. Good for him .... yeah.

    We need to start a Benchmob thread. Our bench is as good as I've seen it in a long, long time.

    P.S. If the playoffs started today, we'd be the 7th seed playing the Clippers
