    Who do you think? Who effs up GT every game? Yeah we all get frustrated at times with "bad" Rondo. But Vogel has some method to what he's attempting to do and set up for the playoffs. He's the damn coach and his record this year should earn him the benefit of the doubt.

    Off of that dunk against the Lakers? It didn’t look that bad when it happened.

    I don’t even go to GT anymore. If I see the overt negativity from the start of the game again, I will start warning and then banning individuals from posting in GameTime. It’s getting problematic.

    Antetokounmpo will miss the final two games of their road trip -- Sunday in Phoenix and Monday in Denver -- due to a minor joint capsule sprain in his left knee

    This was optimistic I thought. Sorry when it comes to the Clippers and their punk a** Beverly ... I don't give a crap about sportsmanship. Especially after Leonard did us dirt and tried to get all kinds of radical benefits out of Jeanie when he talked to her. But I saw @BangBoomPow 's observation late in the game the Clippersnake was gimping on his knee again. YAY!!

    NBA narrative just changed after these last 2 games & the rest of the League knows it.

    Yes, AB giving us a chance for the best record in the league with his stopping of Giannis the pencil neck Greek (ok that is probably not a veristic description).

    Today. Love this team. Put the league on notice that we can play tough and play against the teams and games that count. Are the Lakers weak against the top teams? MYTH BUSTED. You come up against the Lakers you better have an army, because we are going to take it to you on O and D.

    As I was saying a bit ago, I'm just truly enjoying this run. It's been sooooooo long since we've been in this kind of position. 10 years. But this team is fun, excellent AND entertaining. It brings me actually back to Showtime vibes. Feels so good to be a Lakers fan again!

    What?! Lue is assisting during the game and also posts his thoughts on GT? :) Call me amazed...

    Vogel should but will NOT get Coach of The Year consideration nor will he sniff a chance.

    Oh I think he definitely ought to be the front runner at this point in time. Definitely will "sniff". Look how the roster turned over for goodness sakes and we are 2 1/2 games from best record in the league.

    Most definitely but you know how it is...we don't get foul calls because we are good. Media narrative, Lakers good so coach just rolls out the ball. The Pat Riley Syndrome.

    We won but still salty over real and perceived slights... :) Laker Life is good.
