same, but I hear stats all the time that say the Lakers have had the toughest schedule in the league. |
Just wait to see our schedule in December.. |

In recent years we would have been happy with wins over bad teams. Now, we're asking why didn't we win by more? Which is a good thing.
For several years now, we've been talking about taking advantage of weak schedules. But the kids can never do it. We would hover below or around .500 ball. Now that we're 13-2, the goal post is moved... Pundits will say these are bad teams and we're barely winning, lets see how we do in tougher December.
When goal posts are move, it's a sign of a good team. |

17 points (5-9 fg /4-5 3pt / 3-3 ft), 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal.

Lakers schedule also looks easy because they are now considered better than every team in the league aside from the Clippers.
They have beaten the Jazz, Mavs and Heat. 3 teams with very good records. Have lost to the Clippers and Raptors. So against top 5 conference teams, that is 3-2. Against the rest. it's all wins. So if that holds up, you are looking at a team that is going to win a lot games this year. |

Feels like past 2 games Lakers defense has been sketchy as they decided to play faster...kinda felt that helped OKC. Maybe I’m wrong but I’m hoping this isn’t a trend. Hopefully it’s just a weird matchup. |

Funny how people still find ways to criticize THE KING! The man had 14 assists with 23 points....Without that we would have lost. |

Definitely a feel good story! Polar opposite of what I was afraid we were in store for when we signed him. |

LeBron James has 10 assists in 7 straight games.
That’s the longest streak by a Laker since Magic Johnson did it 10 straight games in 1991. |

If you understand the salary cap, it was a great signing by the Clippers. |

OKC matches against contender teams:
@Jazz 95-100 L
@Rockets 112-116 L
Bucks 119-121 L
76ers 127-119 W
@Clippers 90-88 L
@Lakers 112-107 L
Lakers 127-130 L
They aren't a bad team, their problem is that they didn't win any of those close matches, but the only blowout they received was against the Pacers in Indiana. |

Thank you both
Vogel is like Michelangelo carving an all star out of KCP
Maybe he is sending him home with books on courage and consciousness? |
