    We play the Heat on a 2nd night of back to backs. That never stinks. They’ll be playing the Suns, so their legs might be feeling it a bit.

    In one more year the GS and Rockets states will change.

    That’s pretty impressive

    it's hilarious. If you would have said to everyone seven years ago that if they would quit hating the Lakers they would be kept down for seven years, they would have ALL jumped on that bandwagon. But we go down for seven years and they still can't forget our domination. They are soooooooooooooooooooo worried about us getting back to that stage, they can't stand it. It's has Trumparian dimensions!!

    Even though the three point shooting was fugly and the offense sputtered at times, the defense is so stingy that we just crushed them in the fourth, holding them to only 80 points! Outstanding. 7 and 1? Wow!

    I firmly believe this isn't close to how our offense will look near the end of the season, but this defense is our default level.

    It's just the teams mentality at this point. I can't wait to see the defense turned up even more in the playoffs.

    Impressive win considering you have two guys in KCP and Kuzma who look like they should be in the G league.

    If they can't get Iggy they better have another backup plan for a wing because right now you can't trust those two at all. Everyone else Green, Bradley, Caruso, and Cook know they're role and the team is clicking. They're lack of shooting ain't going to be helped if Rondo ever comes back so either Kuzma's got to get a lot better (still thinking he'll turn it around) or they got one last card to play.

    Vogel said the defense contested 88% of the Heat shots. He said that was unheard of.

    A gritty win. The offense is not clicking at times, but I think that will get better as the season goes on. But that defense though...! If those threes start falling with more consistency, yikes! For the rest of the league that is.

    My last hope is that Rondo comes back and gets things settled in with Kuzma and KCP. Those three would likely be our 2nd rotation group. At this point, if Kuzma flunks and we can't get Iguodala, we may have to just ring Carmelo. He can't be more terrible than Kuzma and KCP right now.

    Kuz is going to work it out.

    KCP on the other hand...

    Man. Once our 3 pt shooters get more comfortable with the rhythm & spacing of this Offense, this Team is gonna be really dangerous.
