Great shot Luke!

Lakers did the exact thing we did against the Mavericks and made a bunch of unnecessary double teams on a player not looking to shoot

Thank goodness Bledsoe is finally out of the starting line-up. Hopefully, his minutes continue to get cut too.

Good win! That Morris bank 3 to seal the game was hilarious

*IF*

he hit 6 of 9 3s for 21 points

we're NBA champions if this is not a fluke

Doc 2.0.

And Doc beat a full-strength ATL on the road tonight with that toad Simmons still MIA. Hope you enjoyed your night sliming Doc and Ty. 0-2. :lol:

Ty gave him a full chance. That was props for a veteran. Now Bled has to hang on with the second unit--or be replaced by a G-Leaguer. Justise already has.

I'm just glad we're better than the Lakers this season.

Team at full strength can't even beat the Clippers without Kawhi! Amazing how badly Westbrook has made the team.

Called it, sort of.

Ouch. FTR--While the game was still close the starters were around 0 [except Bledsoe] and H-M-K were all minus-11 or worse. This is no Lou & Trezz Show. [And costs more.]

There are some encouraging combinations with Bledsoe. Perhaps he and Mann should switch places.

Mann didn't start, but Bled has had some good numbers with Hart and Luke and did well with them tonight after being bumped out of the starting lineup. $31 million dollars coming off the bench in Bled and Kennard, though.

Lou & Trezz cost half as much. [$14M.]

Hairline gone at such a young age is wild

They are God-awful. One of the worst defenses I've ever seen. LeBron should demand a trade to the Clippers.

Yup, he's always fidgeting with his hair because it's receding and he probably feels self-conscious about it. It's still okay-ish at the moment, but hopefully he doesn't try to hang on to it if it gets worse like Kaman did... Kaman looked like a serial killer with that long hair, lol.

And that pic with Pike is funny since out of the three players, ironically he has the most hair since the other two likely had even less and shaved it bald.

It's funny how the Flakers went from the one of top defensive team last year, to one of the worst this year, with the same coach. Losing Caruso and KCP was huge for their defense. Those 2 players were perfect complimentary players to Bron and AD. Pelinka dropped the ball big time by bringing in Westbrick, who's an extremely odd fit.

one day when lebron's career is all over, people will look back at the rosters built around him and wonder how he ever had any years where they didn't completely surround him with shooters and defenders

Lebron is clearly not the same and Westbrook simply doesn't do anything for them.
The Lakers look like a team without an identity even though they have Lebron.
