Can't believe he was basically a throw-in in two separate trades. He's too good on the defensive end for the lack of a jump shot to be that big a hindrance that teams just throw him into trades

I'm still very shocked the Lakers won this game. 6/34 from 3, down 27, on the road against a legit playoff team. This isn't any regular comeback win for real

Always rooting for the Warriors to lose.

Doubt the Rockets beat the Blazers, but an OKC loss to the Kings tonight would move the Lakers up a seed for the first time in forever. If they both lose then Lakers jump up two seeds

A month ago I think they would have lost that game by 30-35. To me how teams respond to 20+ pt deficits is a huge sign about how mentally tough they are. Like when you'd watch a game of the 90's Bulls and they were down 15 in the third quarter you were still 90% sure they'd win.

Him and AD are such a great defensive pairing

He is working out even better then I envisioned and I have been talking him up since the offseason.

The day he was traded from Minnesota to the rebuilding Jazz, I said the Lakers need to get that guy (if they can). He is a Rodman type guy.
Don't believe the hype...

To be fair, even with their previous mediocre rosters, they refuse to get blown out and would always come back other than the second half of the Mavericks game.

This was 26 points for one of my favorite games and one that’s forgotten. Kyrie and love ride the bench LeBron mix to come back with an assortment of Korver, D will, Channing Frye, Tristan Thompson

Maybe this year but not last year. I went and looked it up and they had 13 losses by 18pts or more last year, a few 30+ pt losses and a bunch more in the 12-17 range.

I know but I still wouldn't bet on them coming back a month ago. They might get it back to 10-15 then they'd start playing like idiots again.
