    Lavar should dump Big Baller Brand and concentrate on his ability to turn water into wine. That's probably way more profitable.

    Games like tonight where Paul George was the only player who shot the ball well, but didn't even touch the ball in 4th quarter and was made a spectator in watching Melo and WB brick a lot of shots is a sample of why he's leaving.

    Guy's 8/14 from the field and 4/8 from deep in 3Qs and Melo & WB who are 7/396 combined are taking turns shooting down the stretch. He may not say it but deep inside, it must be very frustrating on his part.

    I'm looking forward to more similar games.

    Well I'm positive we can at least steal 1 of those 3 games.

    I find it incredibly impressive that Payton can play so well with that hair tree literally bouncing in his face/eyes. It’s really quite something.

    Ennis didn’t play. Brewer had a really nice stretch. We didn’t lose to the Nets and we don’t have to hear moping about D’Angelo Russell. I’ll take it.

    Oh, and finally reached 20 wins, 22nd in the standings up from our season low of 29th.

    Baby Lakers are learning to win.

    :ShaqOh2:

    Ignore the fact the win was against another scrub team

    Trade Brewer, KCP and Lopez for 1st/2nd years so we can have a senior college team.

    And the starting lineup will be playing with more Hart going forward till Zo gets back.
