    Especially with the matchup with Boogie, which if rubbed the wrong way, might bring out a Bynum moment out of Zu.

    I would love to see him school Cousins one time.

    Luke is such a perfect fit for this team. He pulled them aside in the third, asked them to defend and lo and behold they did as he implored and got the stops. That turned the game around and we pulled ahead after that. Beautiful. They really listen to him and it pays dividends. Has us with a winning record right now. Unreal.

    I can't tell... if I had to guess it was one of the seasons in the early Bynum era, maybe before Pau. I do remember this stat being mentioned often by Stu in one of those seasons. I can't imagine it was during Shaq's last year, or the first year after Shaq.

    See .... great minds. :Magic Brows: Just got through saying the same thing. Give us Sport Science D'Angelo. Do what Kobe would do. Stay in the gym and work on the handles and passing until you're solid.

    Please move Deng to the pine (bench or box I don't care). Do not move him to the bench mob and mess up their chemistry.

    Their aren't many superstar coaches out there. I think we have one. A definite asset in recruitment.

    It was probably the 2006 - 2007 season if I were to guess. That was the year of the new ball that turned Walton into Reggie Miller for a short while, then he sprained his ankle and we started losing. Kobe had to go hero mode to get us into the playoffs. LO also tore his MCL and labrum and played hurt.

    To be fair, the starting five is a fledgling group trying to play together and the right way to Walton's game plan. Russell and Randle are growing into their pro games now that they don't have to cater to one player plus neither Deng or Moz are impact players that can carry the load at the outset while the other two figure it out. That leaves Uncle P who is what he is. Our bench is appearing to be better than what our opponents can serve up.
