A little surprising that both James and Davis are expected to play. Let's hope the minutes are spread out, though, so they do not play too much with their injuries still healing.

It's still ugly to see RB in a Laker uniform.

Defense looks considerably better so far, albeit against a crappy team.

Carmelo is on fire again tonight. A lot of different lineups on the floor--I wish Coach Vogel would let a set of guys play for three to five minutes at a time.

Hopefully this continues against a real playoff team.

Melo seems like the best pick up of the offseason so far.

Another bad start in the third quarter. Good timeout by the coach.

Who’s worse at lay ups? Derek Fisher or Bazemore?

I remember Bazemore was pretty crappy at lay ups the first time around too.

So Davis is going to be a Chris Bosh type as a third option.

Less pressure that way.... which I can see him gravitating too.

I was always suspicious of him being a true number one on a good team. He's not got that "it" that you see in the guys who can lead a team night in and night out. Granted, there are probably 2-3 in the game at any time. Vince Carter and Kobe for example. Amazing athletic players that could do anything at any time.... one became a journeyman and one is a legend. Lakers have had their share of those players over the years. Davis doesn't seem to be one of them.

I would say more KG type in Boston with the way he’s playing defense

Good win against one of the worst teams in the league. I take it.

Great strategy by Vogel, rely on good defenders like Bazemore and Bradley while benching Rondo and Ellington and give Monk minimal minutes.
Frank should send a nice Christmas gift to Bob Myers for releasing Bradley and not giving more money to Bazemore. It’s like manna from heaven.
