    THe injuries forced the Lakers too go big and it worked: Wood and Hayes are good players give them a chance to work with AD.
    No more small ball with Schroeder gone you don't have the huge advantage at the backup PG spot anymore go to your strengths

    Just wait until it’s a tight game in the 4th, opponent with the ball and we put in AD, Wood, LeBron, Vando, and Cam on defense.

    Good luck to any team scoring or getting a rebound.

    Finally got over the hump and beat the Clippers. I am definitely pleased.

    Our new additions are already starting to make an impact. We’re in a position to rattle off several wins here. Really nice to start off solid and not dig a huge hole for ourselves.

    it's just a monkey off the back. especially with how well the clips played. i felt like it was starting to become a legitimate psychological advantage for them, so getting just one win is kind of a big deal.

    Especially with key guys and Big key guys out. Great that we have MOAR key Big guys now on this deep roster. Flowers to Ham for the Tri Towers experiment which worked well and to AD teaching Wood and Hayes how to better do what He Do.

    Quite optimistic right now: Wood works GREAT with both AD and Bron. Cam doesn't show much offensively, but defensively shows potential I did not know was there. Despite losing most of our wing depth against the Clips, we actually managed to beat them. That was impressive. Dlo was impressive, seems he's back. AR... wasn't, until crunch time, but then he delivered.

    Playing 60% ball now, 5th in the West.

    I just saw the next 10 games, I feel we can win 90% of those if we played like we did this game :Laugh: so basically I will whine at every loss considering

    If the season ended today, we'd have a chance to make the playoffs via the play-in game. So there's that.
