Optimism Discussion: The Laker's Sky Is Not Falling

I know CHI is lottery-bound but completely turning around a 19pt deficit to a victory, that's a +++ sign!

8th seed baby.
Well at least for a day!

Man I’m glad we got that win! Was down big early but like a good team flipped that switch and got that win. Can’t let G leaguers come in and run us off the court.

 

Julius - Defense and energy
Ingram - Offensive take over in the 4th
Lonzo - Running the offense and pushing the break, finding open guys
Kuzma - Scoring
Everyone else - Fill in and contribute

That's how it should be now and in the future.

 

I don't know but even when they were down big, I had the feeling they'd come back. Not necessarily win the game but I knew it'll be close, at least.

It has something to do with the FACT we are a far more talented team than the CHI.

I'm looking at the other Western Teams and we'd definitely make a case to be in the Top 10 by the end of the season barring any injury which is basically the high end of our realistic goal this year. Anything better than that would be great moving forward! A playoff spot would seal the other 500k-worth-of-fine goal for 2018!

Nearly gave up 30 per quarter in the 1st half, only to come back and prevent them from scoring 20 in each of the 3rd and 4th quarters.

I would hang my hat on a defensive team over an offensive team any day of the weak (ie '04 Pistons vs Lakers...sorry I had to do that gang to make a point; Seaturds vs Broncos in SB XLVIII; heck even #1 D ranked C bags vs the #1 O ranked Dubs this season).

 

Yeah I admit I’m starting to get that feeling again from back when we expected our team to win games and championships and then they would take night offs against the lesser teams, drive us all up the wall. This game kind of felt like that a little. I don’t know what it was but I figured Bulls were shooting a ridiculous percentage in that first half or quarter. I’m thinking they can’t keep this up all game. Just dig in defensively they should be able to work themselves back into the game and give themselves a chance to win. Great effort especially by the bench unit. They’re still young but they gotta learn to not take the lottery bound teams too lightly.

 

Thanksgiving is almost here

 

Playoffs? You kidding me? Playoffs?

 

Woah woah... Let's keep it low. How about aim for 6th seed first.

Karma b****
LA Clippers starting point guard Patrick Beverley underwent a surgical procedure on his right knee Wednesday, league sources tell ESPN.

Although there is no immediate timetable for his return, Beverley is expected to miss a significant amount of time, league sources said.

 

The clipper curse going strong, even after they land a good owner and Jerry West. This goes back decades, since they moved to L.A.

 

Couldn't wish a long and completely successful recovery to a nicer guy .....

 

Hopefully attendance plummets and Balmer decides to move the team to Seattle.

 

I'm pretty sure if we beat the Queens tonight we'll be the 8th seed through at least Saturday morning. I will be very thankful tomorrow if that's the case.
