Any of you guys watch the Utah game today? Kessler first game back 11pts, 10 reb, 3 blks, +34 vs Knicks ... I'm sorry I'm just high on Kessler, Lakers don't need a player who can score 20+ pts they need Reb/Blks and someone who can push AD to the 4 and even give AD rest from time to time and Kessler comes on the cheap, I get his not worth 2 pics and could lose him IN FA If he leaves, but damn reallly need that IMO next to AD would be

Yeah I like him, but I think Danny Ainge will try to bend us over too much to let this go down.

I'd still do It, could make up for letting Zubac go His also what 23/4 years old and a young enough.
Sometimes you just got to "risk It to get the biscuit".

[SlimShady83]

Tipoff, Let's Go!

[Danny Darko]

[Danny Darko]

Kaloko looking small

[Beethoven]

Let's dunk these duds into hot mustard sauce and eat em.

[Danny Darko]

AD flexing his right arm a bit... always concerning

[Danny Darko]

I'll say this- I think we'd be up 18 or more if we were sharing to the open corners better but I've see some uncharacteristically selfish shots this half

[Danny Darko]

duuuude... this quarter suuucks, get Dalton in there or something

[Danny Darko]

It looks like they are freezing Dalton out on offense wtf

[Danny Darko]

AD seems to be struggling with the rest of the team... yeah we do need a heaftier Big

[Danny Darko]

rebounds tell the story too... f this. go get Kessler

[SlimShady83]

[SlimShady83]

rebounds tell the story too... f this. go get Kessler

[Hans1984]

It's like they just quit in the 3rd quarter.

Really the same issues as last year, but managed to get close wins against some mediocre/bad teams early on.
Lebron is not capable of leading this team every night, both from a physical and motivational standpoint. They’re a fun team to watch but again not very good and likely first round exit given how close the west is this year.

[Beethoven]

Like I said before, the 6 game winning streak meant nothing and only this tough stretch here till end of December will be the real litmus test.
And already it don't look good. Yes, we are unfortunately just another run of the mill mediocre team. JJ unfortunately hasn't proved much beyond a few tough words during press conferences and some cosmetics during game play over ham.
