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.

finished that half strong
Clips cut the lead to 18
and LAL ran it back up to 23 without much sweat at all

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

Incredible.

If we can hang 73 on the 2nd best defensive team in the league without Luka, (bleep) center


We need to have a big for matchup/playoff purposes but my goodness we are going to be a devastating 5 out team. Unguardable.

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

It's pretty damn ridiculous.

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

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.

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