    George going Jack Tatum on JJJ for the offensive rebound and putback and no call for the clinching basket was not in my cards.
    Can't imagine any Laker getting away with that kind of hit err rebound.

    Wallace was selected to the All-Star game, tells the press he'd rather be in the Bahamas with his family then proceeds to hoist left handed jump shots when he played.

    They call Paul George "Assassin."

    With 57 secs left, Kennard drills a 3 to pull MEM within 2, 131-129. Clips MUST score on the next possession. Russ bricks a short short with 35 secs left, but somehow PG13 gets the offensive board underneath and scores. All she wrote, basically: that board saved Brick's bacon.

    Dear Russell Westbrick and the Clippers FO:

    Tomorrow night (AKA "tonight", as I'm posting this after midnight), Wed March 8th: national TV: you, Brick and your Clips host TOR.

    No pressure, Brick: the Clips were in 4th place in the West at the All-Star Break when they acquired you. Now, if - and when - you lose you will have helped bring your team to within a game and a half of the Lakers. Think about it: you're FINALLY helping the Lakers in the standings! Can't you see the beauty in that?

    We hope to pass you in the standings, like two ships passing in the night. Lakers heading for port in the Playoff Riviera; you and your Clippers toward an iceberg with your name on it. May the better team win. And by that I mean: may the Lakers win. But on March 8th: the Raptors are the better team until you prove me wrong.

    We know you got it in you to take this debacle to all-time lows!

    Brick! Brick!
    He's a Dud.
    When the season's over
    His name is Mud!

    We'll all be watching. Your team might have a chance if you keep your TOs under 6. Can ya do it? We think not. Try some 3s, Brick! They're bound to go down sooner of later. Maybe in the Chinese league.

    (As I got into writing this, I realized it shouldda gone into Cooking The Tears, but how can I cook when the game hasn't been played yet? Aye: I have a Bad 'Tude. I know.)

    In 23 mins, Brick goes 7/2/7 with only 3 TOs: Clips beat Raptors. My HEX didn't work!

    Apologies to all 'n sundry at Lakers Ball.com!

    Van Vleet ripped ref Ben Taylor a new one after the game and will no doubt be paying a hefty-a** fine.

    don't know. how long will they let him start until they realize that he's a middle-of-the-halves guy, at best? in the interim, will they have to keep playing PG and kawhi 40 minutes to get home wins against toronto? that went great for us, too.

    I don't believe Russ played in the 4th.. Not 100% sure though, I was only half watching.
    He definitely wasn't in for the last 8-9 minutes though.

    Just checked the game tracker.. They subbed in Gordon for WB with 5:00 left in the 3rd & that was it for Russ. He was benched the last 17minutes of the game.
    Not sure if he was injured or if it was just a Coaches decision though.
