    Fixed.

    And I don't agree abeer, the media today were laughing it off from all I saw, like it was no big deal and funny. Also, I'd guess Russ knew a camera was on him, so I don't think he was trying to make a statement or piss Kobe off, I think he was playing around. We also don't know Russ and Kobe's relationship, they might do this in practice for all we know, Kobe might find it funny. And if the airball wasn't intentional, then it really isn't an insult at all, it's just an impression. Remember Russ did a Kobe impression before, back whenever that day when all the rookies get together and take publicity photos and stuff is.

    It's not a big deal to me considering it's the first time someone from our own team is mocking us, rather than the rest of the league.

    Studly tonight. Couldn't get the game winner but he got the shot to send it into OT. I'm just happy he took the last shot.

    Great game from D'Angelo. Showed some killer instinct. Looked to me like he maybe got a little gassed in overtime, but I'm okay with that because I'm thrilled he got to play down the stretch and I really hope we see more of it. Love the poise, the aggressiveness, and him clearly wanting to take over down the stretch tonight.

    I think he likes the ball in close games at the end, and for that reason he is special. I brought this up a while back when trying to figure out if he plays with no aggression, or if it's more under control/poised. Seemed from all the footage I saw he has the clutch gene, and I still think that's true. That 3 he hit late on Rubio was nice, he didn't have to fade, or even go off the dribble. He took a couple pump fakes, and was able to fire in his regular style/rhythm, as if Rubio wasn't even there.

    Torch. Passed.

    Kobe: "Man... at least you didn't airball like I did against Utah."
    Russ: "I guess u didn't see my practice video earlier?"

    Bro he's a rookie.

    Lighten the hell up.

    C'mon now. They were just having fun. Why don't you like the kid? Because of a little joke he had with Kobe seriously? I'm happy that Russell has spoken up recently. Somebody has too.

    Didn't seem like Kobe was mad about that video to me.

    Kobe clearly hates Russell.

    Russell's favorite sentence - "I don't know."
