I have a feeling OKC is going to KILL us when we play them next game..

I hope they beat us to the ground and we lose by 60. To the point where the team loses all morale of the rest of the season. That'll teach us to not be heroes

you think they would have learned that by now.

I don't think you can demoralize a team full of contract year guys.

I'm not gonna lie. These guys have heart. As much as I dislike us winning right now, I have respect for this group. Most people would have quit on the season by now, but these guys just keep chugging along. That's why I would love to have some of these guys back next year to beef up the bench.

Yup - some real good guys likely to come back on inexpensive deals, a nice draft pick, cap room and a healthy Kobe/Pau, maybe even Nash (fingers crossed. He's Kobe's only rival for working at rehab - relentless.)

All is not doom and gloom. Upgrade the roster as best we (Mitch, that is) can and Lakers are on the road back.
I just hope we don't sell everything for magic beans ... errr, I mean Melo. The Knicks already did that and look at them now.

Difference between Melo and Kobe is simply that when Kobe puts a team on his back, you get wins. Melo, not so much.
