I said it earlier, but the fat PG's always beat us.

Felton with another strong performance against us.

How can we receive 120+ points every **** game?

We need a lot of things, but the first one IMO is a rim protector. Chandler rebounds really well but he does not intimidate at all.

And Len...what can I say about him? Disgusting.

Bledsoe has been playing like Westbrook lately where he just comes into the lane and gets fouled. I love it. Would love to see us have a competitive team, but I can wait... til next year.

Crawford is a cool dude man. You guys see him shake those two Suns fans hands? He's a passionate baller.

Welp I've been up since 4pm yesterday. That is almost 30 straight hours now. Time for bed. Good game fellas. We got Kings Friday. Bledsoe playing like a beast, I'm sure he's got some words for Cousins.

Phew, I was afraid that we were going to come back and win this game when Jordan got ejected but thankfully the tank strongly rages on!

I guess I was right in the poll.

I didn't even realize, what happen w/ Len? Saving him for a trade? I only started watching late into the second quarter.

We played tiny ball.

Here's my takeaways from the game:

Bledsoe is a stud, and we should only trade him on an overpay. This squad was only down 3 at the half and shot 38% to LA's 59% thanks to Bledsoe getting to the line.

Booker didn't have his strongest first half, but stepped up in the second. He's going to be a bonafide #1 on offense. Chriss had major troubles on defense... against Blake Griffin. It's definitely a concern, but I don't know a rookie big man who wouldn't struggle against Blake. He also missed a lot of open shots, but he's got a great stroke and I see no reason he doesn't start knocking them down. Once the game slows down for him, he's going to be a handful. Would've liked to see more of Bender, but he did surprise me on the boards.

Speaking of boards - Len wishes his hands were as soft as bricks. All he seems to know how to do is to smack the ball backwards and hope it finds one of his teammates. He also brings the ball down way too often for a 7 footer. I do not think we should resign him.

I can say Brandon Knight checked in at one point during the game. I don't know what he did. I do know it was the worst we looked on offense. Like, we struggled at the start of the game and the half, but at least we were getting reasonable looks.

Also, is it fair to think that Blake is a bit underrated? I mean, I still knock him for flopping (he pretty obviously timed his dive when Bledsoe was attacking the basket on the break, among other instances), but he's quite a remarkable player to see live.

If anything, he's overrated imo. Nobody has ever said he wasn't a good player. He gotten more positive media attention throughout his career than negative. But do think he gets more hype mainly because he's flashy and playing in LA.

I think he was overrated a bit early in his career but nowadays he seems to be the forgotten superstar. I see him put in the same class with the Butler's of the league and that's an insult AFAIC. If only he weren't such a buttface.

What happens this game..?
