Tip off about to go ahead ...

Predicted outcome - we win by no more then 10 points ...

-Russell goes nuts with 8+ assists
- Randle leads game with 14 rebounds.
- Clarkson finds his shooting form again and gets out of his slump

Not sure why Hibbert, Lou and Bass are still drawing minutes this late into the season.

^^^ Part of the future team for Lakers or Trade bait. Hibbert probably either going to be a bench or gone. Lou and Bass will be here or used as trade bait. But more then likely staying.

Russell playing a terrible game. His ball handling in traffic needs a lot of improvement.

And things keep getting worse for DLo. We need to get him on that Steph Curry training regimen ASAP.

Return to Los Angeles Lakers
