And we all finally come around full circle lol.

My original goals as a Lakers fan going into the season was enjoying watching Kelly, Randle, Clarkson and Davis develop.

Now that the season officially has a nail in it, maybe we can get more than two pages on this game thread.

At least this line up is youthful. But I still don't get taking Davis to the bench, can't he get some experience. Is sacre really gonna be needed next season?

It's really too bad Randle is out.

Is anyone still excited to watch the game anymore? Not sure if you guys feel the same way, but it looks like Scot doesn't care anymore.

I just feel sorry for those that bought the full season pass.

More Rockets loose, the higher the lakers draft pick from houston will be.

Knicks on a 3 game win streak and play Charlotte at home next. Another winnable game.

Wants to read headline before game Lin traded for Jennings and pick // Lopez to Lakers for Hill and Nash /// LAkers tanking for lotto pick

Let Kobe, Randle, Lopez, and Jennings rehab together while trying to secure a top 3 pick

Why do we want to take on those players? I think we should just trade for draft picks.

so basically you want our team to have a big 3 combo of overpaid players who are out for the season in Jennings/Bryant and one that will soon be out for the season in Lopez?

If the Lakers win on my birthday, I'd be very happy. If we lose, I would still be happy because it helps our tank. I guess what I'm saying is I hope Dwight and Harden both get ejected. Go Lakers/Tank!

Tank for the pick, get back better talent and it's not arguable than Jennings and Brook are better than Hill/Lin and Nash's corpse, and acquire assets (Jennings should bring you back a second while hurt at least) while going after a SF this summer. You would have a more complete team with Kobe, Brandon, Brook, Julius, your first rounder, Nick, and an actual good SF, Clarkson, price, Kelly, black, and Sacre

I'd let Brook and Nick play into March and shut their asses down to start April
