    Man I miss Kobe and Shaq...

    During that dominant run...Shaq was just buldozing players out of the way and it was sooooo fun to watch. You had to crack out literally every time Shaq got the ball either running at the rim or just waltzing players out of the way.

    This team is just fun to watch man - you can see they genuinely enjoy being around each other - just a complete 180 from last year man.

    We are very spoiled man - we had Kobe/Shaq, then Kobe/Pau, and now LeBron/AD - i mean we're talking about a generational duo - it's insane. Would be a shame if these 2 didn't win it all at least once - still gotta beat those damn clippers and even the Bucks. Those are the only teams I'm worried about.

    What's funny about this is that this girl and another Lakers fan were going back and forth between who was going to be the fan of the night and Lakers fans were booing the guy so this little girl would win. Maybe not even so the little girl could win as she was definitely showing more intensity then the other guys and just funnier.

    wow - this is actually a CRAZY stat.

    29-29 rest of the way and we'll finish 50-32 - which is probably still good for like 4th seed in the west this year?

    houston, too. those three could give us problems, mayyybe philly if they were hitting on all cylinders. i don't think toronto and dallas can do to us in the playoffs what they did in the games so far, though.

    I think we matchup with Houston pretty well, actually...

    Sixers, Bucks, Clips, have my attention...I think Dallas is 1 piece away; if they decide to make a move by the trade deadline, they could become a real threat.

    Also, 1 piece away...but I am just referring to the Western Conference.

    Cuban might make a move ..

    The first three game road trip to start the month was suppose to test us, we dominated.
    We're going on a 5 game road trip that ends in Milwaukee, that'll be a statement game.
    Christmas Day is a rematch with the Clips, hoping its full team vs full team cause that'll be another statement game.

    Houston doesn't have the frontcourt depth to guard both Lebron AND AD. Tucker is too short for either and Capela wouldn't keep up with AD. Also, their bench is no longer what it used to be. It really is just is Russ and Harden at this point for them.

    PG is starting to come around for the Clips, it'll be interesting to see how the two man game works for them, but they still don't have an answer for AD which will eventually be our trump card for them with our offense rolling like it is now vs Game 1 where we just went ISO, no Rondo or Kuz either.
