    My dogs remain optimistic that the Lakers can turn it around.

    Defense looked good for stretches - lots of activity and making some good decisions. Then the last six minutes of the fourth happened.

    You must suffer from immense reality distortion to be "optimistic" with regard to these Lakers.

    The only thing to hang your hope hat on is the front office cleaning up this sh***.

    If we keep our Draft Pick, we'll have our best chance of seriously upgrading the Team in a long time.

    Multiple 1st Round picks (one top 3) + A solid group of showcased Young Talent + Cap Space = Endless Possibilities.

    Hand all of those assets to Magic & Palinka & we should finally be able to accomplish something.

    I'm optimistic because new management is engaging fans using technology. This tweet made me realize we shouldn't take that for granted.

    Lavar shows up and tweets this to Rob:

    LaVar Ball‏@smiville_ Mar 16
    @Lakers #AskPelinka when are u going to trade these bums and draft my son



    Seriously f*** this guy. Can you imagine having him around the Lakers constantly. There was a quick Yahoo article tonight on Lonzo's fall and hurting his hip enough to affect his play some in the 2nd half. The 128 comments at the time were mostly negative and hating the dad.

    I also read earlier today Lonzo say, after the schtick about Pops saying he could beat Jordan, that he's always been that way and nothing would change him. So doesn't sound like the kids want any part of trying to shut him up.

    Yeah I think lonzo would be a bad pick, so much baggage. His dad is hurting his career before it even starts
