    Help has finally arrived



    Time to lock the doors like the Clippers did to keep DJ from leaving.

    Great win tonight. Unreal Lebron performance but what also helped was the all out hustle from Reaves, Stan, Monk and Melo who all had huge defensive and offensive plays. The energy was contagious.

    Yeah, each of those four had spotlight moments on both ends. It's been rare for us to get that out of more than a couple of the guys lately. For us to avoid humiliation nightly we need that plus a big game from Bron.

    Russ wasn't even bad until his couple late TOs. Played a more engaged game.

    Maybe if we played like that more often, we'd be able to make the playoffs and... I don't know... do something?

    Such a big difference when they come to play with effort and energy.

    I thought we actually played a pretty good game despite the ref assisted loss. I mean no Lebron and we really fought hard for this one. No moral victories now but I was pleasantly surprised and I liked our effort. Murray is one heckuva player.

    I think there were some positives to take after the game against Houston:

    There's one less game for the end of this season

    A.D. will return @ 110% and even lighter weight than he was. Lakers shock Phoenix and continue to stroll through the Western conference playoffs. Russ will be the Finals MVP and L.A. will hoist his skirt into the rafters.

    Season starts now?

    :Fishwink:

    Kidding. But this was the first good one in quite awhile.

    We played harder than the opponent for the entire game.

    The back and forth in the 4th. Lead change after lead change was quality entertainment. A real basketball game!

    Gabe was the best player on the court in the first quarter. Looked very roster worthy for next year.

    Bron show in the 4th was huge, guessing had something to do with Drake being there.

    Russ made his first contribution in a Lakers jersey with the shot that sent it to OT. Ok. Fine.... second contribution.

    I'm very happy for Westbrook. He has been getting destroyed for 4 months. I really hope he can spring board from this to at least salvage something. I don't know, just hoping.
