    Pretty entertaining.. and they weren't even close to their full potential. Were def out of sync, slow and maybe a little tired in the first 3 quarters. Still slaughtered them in the 4th.

    On to the next! They should only get better each game, AD due for a big game!

    Get home...check the score. Down 17 at the half. I say to myself: "Squad probably looks out of it. LB is gonna be a zoo." :)
    Go to gym...come home and check the score. 6 point victory. I say to myself: What!? The mother******* won?! (channeling Little John the rapper) What!?"

    Planting seeds of confidence but there will be a time or times when the deficit will be too much and that switch won't come on.

    Really? The first half was enjoyable for you?

    Agree with this. When we stop coming out flat we're going to be able to flip the switch and bury folks.

    No but the comeback was .

    I don't expect this team to get up for games like this and I have little pb with it .

    However great teams are at best in 2nd halves and this is what we are so far .

    Obviously we'll lose some playing this way but can't complain after the latest 6 seasons

    watching the game last nite, i saw a young team up big...but while that team was up big, they kept the other team around

    then the young team started to miss FTs

    and have turnovers at costly times

    the young team lost at the end

    we Laker fans have seen that script for the last 4-5yrs

    it feels good to be on the other side

    Not only that but the type of sleep one gets after a Lakers win.... is just so rejuvenating.

    Funny, I was told the season was over due to that loss.

    I’m also told a clipper title is inevitable.

    I’m told so many things...
