    The narrator described this type of defense as "coach porn" I think

    even Stephen A loves us, says Lebron is the MVP so far, and has AD at #3

    I always thought of it as a guy with long white hair....

    Rob Ryan (Rex Ryan's brother) as an example or the example Cookie gave I thought was a good one too.

    Over the last 7-8 years, I forgot what it was like to root for a team that plays great defense. It is a thing of beauty, and a joy to watch.

    So, other than the '72 season, when we went 39-3, I think this is our best record after 25 games.

    Lebron James can play with anyone. If they are stars, even more. He is a pass first player. Pass first players can play on any team no matter position. He can be a PG, a SF, a PF, doesnt matter. And his team mentality to share the ball in the right moments is why.

    Same record in 1985-86 as well. That year ended badly though.

    I had hoped to have a decent record because we had a really favorable early schedule, but 22-3, hell no. Beating the Texas teams on the road, going to Denver, Utah and Portland and winning? No way, not all of them. It’s been a decade since I had this much fun watching the Lakers.

    We played like crap and still won by nearly double digits. Let that sink in...

    Biggest negative in a nod to Vash because we did all get it .... is that Lebron had to be out there as long as he was at 38 minutes.

    That’s going to be on management and coaching to correct while he is here.

    Couldn't have said it any better man - I had the Lakers going 9-5 in December and they're already 5-1...so they just gotta go 4-4 the rest of the way to hit that mark, which I don't see them doing (I see them going 6-2 or 5-3 at WORST).
