Would love to get this win, all the players are probably pissed about last nights loss. I know the effort will be there, but it's going to have to be all force of will tonight in the second night of a back to back.

Yeah, this is going to be a tough one... It looked to me that Randle was a little banged up against the Nuggets too, so if we're going to put defending the entire damn team on him again, it's going to be ugly fast.
We're going to need a huge game from Lopez, Ingram, and Kuz just to have a shot... And KCP and JC are going to have to defend their asses off and be efficient from 3.
All things we've seen, but not all in the same game yet...

It's going to be ugly until Christmas, guys. We may get 1 or 2 wins until then.

It's why those losses to Sacramento, Phoenix, and Denver last night with 3 starters missing really, really, hurt.

I have a good feeling about tonight's game.
I think we'll play better because we're at home, and we play better against top notch teams.

I have a feeling we'll pull this one out.

Let's go Lakers :clap: :clap: :clap:

Wow. How do I give a minus 1?

If you and iamworthy were applying for a job, I wouldn't have to interview... iamworthy would get the job by default.

This one will be tough on the defensive side of things. Both Harden and Paul will get calls all over the place. Harden because he's great at getting to the basket and drawing contact and Paul because he's Paul.
