I thought playing better means you're more likely to get traded? I hope we don't give up the farm for Kessler. We have a good unit. F centers. _________________ Lakers used to average one championship every four years under Dr. Buss but I'd gladly take one every ten years now. |

finished that half strong
Clips cut the lead to 18

Vando makes a difference. Gabe has rounded into form also. _________________ Previously CamReddish |

Is that the best half of Laker basketball you’ve seen in years??

very hard to hold a 20pt lead in today's game. 2nd half the game should get tighter, but this team is impressive so far. |

73 - 50 at the half! This team is amped sky high!
The stat line is ridiculous.
Lakers only 3 turnovers 1st half.
Rebounding - Lakers 26 Clips 17
Lakers shooting 61%, 58% from 3
Can of whoop ass in the first half.
And held the Clips to 50.
Now - don't let up. |

Offense got a little dicey out there at the end with both Vando and Gabe. I think that's gotta be DFS or Rui. But even then we got a wide open corner 3. |

The Lakers defense looks good. They're all on a string out there and putting in a lot of effort. Even guys like Rui and DK4 look locked in and like they know where they're supposed to be. |

Ok, we might not beat Denver, but Luka is going to make jokic guard him every single trip down the floor and tire him out |

Had Lebron come into the league now i think he'd average whatever numbers he wanted. |

Am I crazy for wanting Draymond Green if he has to go out in a Warriors trade? |

Zu's only (for NBA standards) making $18M this season. That's a steal for a 16 point 13 rebound bruiser. Man he'd look nice out there for us. _________________ KOBE

For sure, but they both seem to be defending well, just need to sort out the rotations. _________________ Previously CamReddish |
