    Nah nah nah …. don’t go there Cranjis …. without including the Ham factor even if it wasn’t the place for it.

    I’ll tell you why I still have some optimism for this season (hanging by a thread here guys): if we can pull off one or more of these trades that are being bandied about (Murray, Brown, etc.), I think Handy could probably coach us deep into the playoffs.

    Outside of the third quarter against the Nets the team has played really well.

    Too bad the injuries never seem to stop

    Beating the Bulls in that fashion last night was so much fun. It can definitely be repeated. If Numbnuts would sit on DLO and AR starting …. and have a ******g clue about how best to support those two with perimeter DEFENSE the FIRST priority and peripheral offensive capabilities as secondary. Any time you have the total aggregate offensive abilities of LeBron, AD, DLO and AR on the floor together in a “familiar rhythm” ….. literally Showtime can break out in any game. It sure did last night!! All of it. Stop effing up how best to support them Ham!!

    The Lakers have something good cooking with ASD, Lebron, Vando, AR, DLo, and Cam. Throw in Wood trending up and that is a good 7 man rotation. I'll even throw Prince in there is he ever is pplayed as a bench guy

    They just need one more good guard to fly. Lakers if they ever get healthy have three wings in Lebron, Vando, and Cam who are just big, rangy and athletic. No one is going to be thrilled with that with AD behind them. Please get Brodgon Rob he's perfect for this team. Need that third guard who can win you a game when AR and DLo may not have it. Just look like how good they've looked since DLo has been put back the starters mainly due to that offensive punch

    Wish they would have been more dominant vs a very depleted Knicks team but got to say that is an extremely well coached team in the Knicks

    Missing Randle and Siakam that I know of. Losing would have been terrible, but they have been playing great. We’ll take it.
