    Gotta stop taking those Curry 3s though.

    Yeah, he was just a bit short on a couple of those. One step in and he probably buries them. The efficiency continues though, he's playing so consistently good.

    Dude plays with heart and intensity, but at the same time seems to be cool and collected. We're watching a star in the making here.

    You can count the nets as another team that wants to be delivered by JC. People were asking about signing him in the off-season. He's making a name for himself.

    We've got his early Bird Rights, Clarkson is going nowhere.

    I just love his game. He can take over when he needs to. He can space the floor. He is this season exactly what I was hoping he'd be. When D'Angelo catches up, they're going to make a tremendous back court.

    They can count all they want. He's gonna be a Laker for a long time to come.

    One thing JC needs to work on is fighting around screens. He tends to get wiped out on screens.

    I sure don't mind the Warriors keeping the Cavs, Clippers, and Rockets from winning any championships for a couple of years while we are priming for another championship run.

    Yes, fortunately for us, we are watching multiple stars in the making.

    Yeah we aren't dumb and cheap enough to let him just walk away.

    I hope not. I mean, he is having the best year of any of last year's rookies. Last year's ROY (Wiggins) has a PER just under 7. JC is at almost 20. I mean, Noel is the only player CLOSE to Clarkson from last year's crop. When it's all said and done, we may have the best two players from that class. And me saying that isn't even homerism. Clarkson at this point is the best player by a landslide from last year's draft (Noel was the season before), and Randle is looking scary good at times. If Russell lives up to his talent, we could very well have another semi-dynasty. Imagine if we kept our pick somehow and landed Simmons. :D

    He's not going anywhere; plus, he's restricted. He'll be back. He's off to a fantastic start.

    Much as I like a good tank pic

    Just cannot get behind that 2 years in a row with next to zero chance of keeping the pic. Love your breakdown on our 3 young guys, Savory.

    The Wiggins thing. You know that's one thing the FO is doing well. Keeping in mind that our second year guys still need to develop, and not completely ignoring them.

    He needs to be playing 35+ minutes a night, or Byron Scott is a r*****.

    Yes, that's right. I was politically incorrect just then.

    Thats one thing that drives me nuts about Scott. He seems to stop the players rhythm often

    Any word on why Clarkson sat the entire 4th last night?

    Because only 1 of Clarkson or Russell will play at a time or finish the 4th. Apparently Lou Williams will play from the middle of the 3rd, straight on through til the end of the game, every game.
