    LOL ..... had fun occasion to use this gif on its creator today in good spirits, but this is one of the BEST ever Laker gifs and they're's certainly a vast library of Great ones. IMO. So perfect with the "shop" and with DLO's movement and facial expression. :clap: :rock: :cool:

    I’d be happier about it if they didn’t play like doo doo tonight. I don’t remember a more disappointing win in maybe forever.

    I think there’s a reason to be optimistic as long as we have this guy

    Lebron and AD never had so much offensive firepower around them

    Amazing that we’re gonna finish above .500. Before the trade deadline, I truly HATED watching this team play. The team was just so unbalanced physically and talent wise. Kudos to Rob for transforming this team. Rob, going forward do not let Lebron and AD strong arm you into anymore roster changes! Trust your instincts and your scouting department.

    What can I say?

    This team never quit...and thanks to the deadline moves, it gave us new energy and new chemistry that has translated into WINS.

    If we win today...we will have gone 18-8 since the trade deadline, which I believe would be the best record in the NBA.

    Remarkable remarkable remarkable turnaround for a franchise that sorely needed it.

    Since we traded the boat anchors, we're starting to look like a team. I never would've imagined that when the season started.

    with the way we blew games, couldn't get stops, couldn't make plays we needed and just looked like we were hitting brick walls every game I wasn't sure we would finally get it together but we did. I was one of the few that didn't hate russ and Bev on the team BUT I was wrong about them not being cancers to the team. Rob and the FO did some magic at the deadline.

    What a turn around! Can we make a real run? I def think we can beat any team. Will we? Depends on AD/Bron and how they play at the end the damn games. Been awhile but I'm excited to see what these boys will do.

    Considering how the first half of the season went, finishing 7th was a miracle and something we should celebrate. Also, no pick swap with the Pels.

    Glad to see us take this game more seriously than we did the last one, especially from our two stars. Lebron was on point from distance and AD brought it on the defensive end. We are hard to beat when they show that kind of effort. I'm thrilled that we got the 7th spot. Let's go!
