Agreed.
I get on Luke "Froggy" Walton as much or more than the next guy, but his guys are playing hard for him right now and not showing the "defeatist" body language we saw during that horrific losing streak.
Just bully teams inside, run the court hard and play defense....I dig it. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

But not impossible. 17-17 gets us to 36 wins. That is feasible, and it would show the world that we're on the way back. |

Overall, a good night for the Lakers as all the teams near them in the standings have lost or are currently losing. |

So we now know that Kuzma is as good as his 3pt shot is.
If it’s not falling he looks like a bench player
When it is falling he looks like a star player |

Brook Lopez trying to guard Markkanen at the 3pt line? |
I would've trusted you more than Nance to do anything effective tonight. |

we don't really need to make the playoffs - other then to deny the Celts our pick, that is
I suspect the current winning streak is having the desired public relations effects of showing potential free agents that the team is "up & coming" - which is really the important thing
playoffs couldn't hurt though, even though the Warriors would spank us in the 1st round _________________ LBJ + AD = More rings
Never argue with a fool - listeners can't tell you apart

In theory if you can go 8 out of 10... you can win 22 of 34.
Unlikely I agree, but not impossible. |
Definitely doable! Just need to win about 7 out of 10 games from here on out and can't afford to have a bad month. |

We are playing hard again, that much I certainly agree with. |

Luke did a nice job managing the lineups tonight, Kuzma was off....pulled him, KCP was playing poorly to start the 3rd, pulled him and didn’t return.
I thought BI, Randle, Brook and JC all were good tonight. I think Caruso is looking better every game, wish Luke wouldn’t start ennis...he sucks really bad.
Off to Toronto to lose, but man...4 in a row and 8 out of 10? Maybe we won’t lose in toronto....nice win. |

I agree with that, we really do have some great young talent right now. Impressive beating teams lately without The Savior even playing.
That is growth, earlier in the season they couldn't do anything without him. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

I would have like to see Caruso instead of Hart out there for the last 3 minutes.
BI was really good: Nice to see that.
Randle, Lopez & Clarkson had nice games.
Nice win.
Toronto will be tough |

They were dead ringers to the Clippers jerseys, horrid for the Bulls.
The "Kobe Inspired" jerseys the Lakers wore tonight are tight, I have to admit and I am a traditionalist. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |
