And so it ends..... Now let us all collectively wake up from this bad dream, treat it like Vuldemort, and never speak of this season (the season which shall not be named) again

Yeah, let's bury this memory deep and never ook back at it's ugly face. Even though I never was on board with the tanking movement, I also got to the pint when I was kind of disappointed when the Lakers won near the end of the season. I don't want to ever feel that way again in my life. The future looks bright!!!!!
I won't feel ok about it unless we keep that pick. If we do, that's the so called silver lining. If not I am going to very, very bummed out. If we had to suffer through this one for nothing . . . ugh. I can't feel relieved yet until I know we got something out of it.
I kept tabs on the squad...did not go deep into this season or maybe I was numbed by the previous one but it has been a blur. Nowhere to go but up and we will see those same clowns as we pass them on an ascension or when we knock them off the top of the heap.
Honestly, it was to be expected. The fact that we got Randle and the emergence of Clarkson were bright spots. I can't say ANYTHING good about the 2012-2013 season with Dwight/Nash/MDA. That, for me, was the worst season for us. All the expectations, all the talent, but what a complete and utter garbage of a season that turned out to be. We need to rebuild, and we put ourselves in a pretty good position. The new CBA made it harder to turn around as quickly as we're used to, but we're doing it the right way now. As much as losing hurts to watch, we can only move forward from here.
Players to erase from memory bank Boozer, Lin, Price, Johnson, Sacre, Kelly, Young, and Hill Players to keep in memory bank Clarkson, Ellington, Davis, Black, Brown, and for a couple minutes Randle. Player that will teach the new squad the ways of the Purple and Gold going forward Kobe Bryant
I still like Kelly when he's in the right position at 4. But damn he needs to go to rebounding college this summer. No excuse for being that tall and not grabbing them decently at least.
He clearly digressed. In his rookie year he rebounded better, shot the ball better, and just looked the part. Sure some of it was moving to the 3, but he got some time late at the 4. He's signed, so unless he's part of a trade package he'll be back. My memory of him will be erased for a fresh new look at him next season. Hope he gets it together.
I try to be a glass half full kind of guy, but with all the horrible luck the Lakers have had they remind me of the old Born Loser comic strip. I'm not letting my mind wrap around losing the pick, only focusing on who they WILL get in the draft. I predict they get the #1, with the bravado that Pat Riley exhibited in his famous "we will repeat" speech. Go Lakers!!!
My wife and I welcomed our daughter into the world 2 months ago (our first child) and it couldn't have happened during a better season since I've barely had any time to watch games. Hopefully I'll be in a better routine come November and just in time to watch our new young core make a name for itself. Super stoked for next season already, and can't wait to start bringing up the next little Laker fan.
The nighmare is finaly over...i admit i only watched about 5-6 games since all star,i just couldnt bare to watch games and root for lakers to lose...it was to painfull...at least there are some big positives as clarkson...i have no doubt next season will be much better,in worst case we dont have to tank on purpose for the pick...
