    I guess we more or less solved the shooting problem, because now we lead the league in 3-pt %, even after losing 2 games. Over 43% BTW. So, the issue is

    a) rotation, which leads to
    b) defense

    Solve this, and we're good as long as we get our guys back and solid shooting continues.

    yeah, i wouldn't trade the league's best defense for our improvement in three point shooting. but at least the latter seems to be happening. if we can regain the former, everyone's dead.

    We’ve got six very winnable games in front of us. I expect the team to take care of business and get some momentum going.

    But he’s got flaws and should be in playoff form right now so we’re going to suck this year because of him. Over and over.

    What an upgrade and physical marvel/beast compared to Schroder who wasn’t without great speed and skills. Not like this though with the physical dominance and infinitely better attitude. Russ >>>>>> Dummkopf hitting our Bigs with lobs.

    That was a Laker home game right? Pop must have been annoyed the whole game.

    Multiple players commented on that. Well, at least Monk and Russ did, but yeah it was a lot of fun

    Dwight's D in the 4th brought us back. Kids shooting (well, Monk's too) is nice to see. Russ in attack mode, is a joy to watch, he can get to the basket every damn time he pleases. AD being AD, no injuries (AD needs to stop scarying the living s*** out of me though)...

    And the FANS :D

    Pop is going to fire up the trade committee. He's still mad about the Pau trade from 2008. The only thing better that Pop doom is Bill Simmons ****** fan moist rage.

    The amount of Laker fans at the arena was a major nonstop complaint in SA game threads.

    Pop is going to push for a closed arena for "covid reasons." It's strange seeing that many Laker fans at a SA game.
