    Needs to learn how to use his body and strength. He tends to shy away from contact. Has a bit of that Trob spin every time syndrome (but better touch)

    I know, right? A 2nd rounder 5 years from now, protected up to the 55th pick.

    So in 2020, if we're not a top 5 team, we don't give up anything for Mo. That is high way robbery!

    Odd. Not one minute after I ask about Batum I see Hornet "highlights" on SportsCenter. Granted, "highlights" were about Jeremy Lin's hair which, I have to admit, is pretty spectacular.....good grief dude.

    This game is a bit boring. Lakers actually playing that trap defense that always gives Dame fits.

    I was doing paperwork and forgot about this game. I'll watch the 2nd half.

    Actually, the reason is that a scrubby little team like the Lakers is so forgettable.

    Good to see Vonleh and Harkless getting a lot of playing time. And what's up with Cliff Alexander? He should get some playing time too.

    Harkless has looked very good this pre-season. He's a definite rotational player, I didn't know he was worth a darn when we traded for him.

    No more Kaman. He is out of place with these young guys. Slows the offense to Aldridge -like levels. This team can't win like that.

    Batum is 4-18 from 3pt this Pre-season. During his interview, he blamed his shooting woes on his wrist but says it's better now. But it's always some excuse with him....

    Batum should now blame his shooting on the distraction of Lin's hair, which is spectacular according to my inside sources.

    Batum also has 10 assists and 10 turnovers in 5 games. I always thought his passing skills were really over-rated. Most of the assists he collected were passing to someone for a jump shot. It wasn't like he was driving and dishing to guys for easy hoops.

    Leonard is having a poor shooting night with shots he normally makes easily

    They should let Meyers practice his post game this pre-season. He should develop something other than the spot up jumper
