Optimism Discussion: The Laker's Sky Is Not Falling

Good game from the Big 3 and we played well in the third. I'll take it.

 

Amazing what happens when your best players don't settle for so many dumb f***ing 3s

 

sounds like we played tall with short people

 

despite our just awful start, we're somehow 1.5 games out of 4th in the west, and if we don't have more injuries and start caring, we could easily finish 4th or 5th in conference, again, despite this awful start. two teams ahead of us (dallas, minny), i think will fall behind us almost certainly. the two scarier teams even with us are dealing with their own injury concerns, and, in theory, really aren't better than us.

i think it's still possible to make the playoffs as a non-play-in seed and see where the chips fall.

 

-58 bench points.
-D in the second half was the best half of D we've played this year
- didn't take 3 OTs to decide this one
- first double digit win since Halloween

 

Why isn't Dwight playing more?

 

Best defensive game of the season, by far. Let's hope the DJ experiment is officially over.

 

We've actually put together a string of good third quarters which is nice

 

that was one area that made me side with the vogel haters: you can't get your a** beat after every halftime adjustment. glad to see that's changing.

 

Yeah. That was just driving me crazy.

 

That second half was the most watchable basketball all season

 

We outscored them by 32 in just 11 minutes. We can do this.

 

..... sounds logical? Get your s*** together DJ, you just had a couple decent outings. Frank don't love you like he loves LeBron and AD.

 

2020 championship run flashbacks

 

This incredible run we have finally been on has us now only 1/2 game out of 4th in the West.


Edited for even more incredulity .... one whole game less out of 4th, my bad ... my god ... jugglerknot mode activated.
