Taking my son to the game tonight for his 18th birthday.
I remember holding him in my arms as a newborn pacing in front of the TV watching the Shaq and Kobe years.
If there’s is a more die hard Laker fan than me, it’s him.

Let’s go Lakers :clap: :clap: :clap:

The Suns have cooled off a bit from a surprising start. If we hit them early and hard we should be in good shape.

We have one turnover and have missed just 2 shots... both were rebounded by us and we scored on the possession anyway. That means we've scored on every possession except the one TO.

This was screaming a let down game, but looks like we came to play. Also helps that the Suns are flat out horrible.
LAKER FAN FOR LIFE

Bradley had a great quarter on both ends. McGee was great as well. Shooting like this won't last... but the defense can. No coasting on these guys... they can score in bunches.

Suns game thread is dozens of posts blaming the refs, never seen anything more pitiful.

LeBron's confidence shooting jump shots off the dribble is gone. Unless he's fading away or stepping back, he's just not comfortable shooting at the moment.

He's gotta shake that, because sometimes in the playoffs, an open 21 footer going right is the best shot you're going to get in a possession.
