    Sucks go from Clipper refs straight to Fakers.

    The way the Clips were hunting Ant as a defender, you wonder if the Lakers will try the same thing. Great offense, but abysmal defense.

    Jesus. Fly from Brooklyn, one day off, then a back to back home/road. Who decided that?!

    I'm interested in the injury report? We know Little left the game last night. We know Hart twisted and ankle and left the game only to come back. That has all the makings of thining this team a bit more.
    Maybe just run with the summer league champs?

    Do you guys get to hang in LA for a day or do you have to go straight to Utah and sit there for a couple days? Lillard probably has people in Utah he spends time with I figure?

    Little will be out with a hip strain. Hart is not listed as injured.

    back to back after a long horrible loss, this one may be over in the first quarter. Nurk on AD? Look out.

    Imagine not winning that Knicks game, Blazers could be 0-7 right now. Tonight we are facing the Lakers who is out for revenge. Good luck Blazers

    Lakers are finding their stride as we pull a Sabonis and fall down the concrete stairs. It’s not a must-win but it is maybe winnable? Ugh.

    We better win this. Get rid of any potential for linger effects after that debacle.

    And Dame keeps talking about depth and relying on his teammates but we're seeing the reality is not that. We need him back. This is becoming a spiral and any distance we coulda potentially created in the WC standings is all gone.

    Oh boy another loss. Imagine if we hadn’t won that Knicks game in OT. We would have been on a 7 game losing streak yikes. This season is turning into a nightmare and nobody is talking about it

    No nightmare for me. They are right where I'd been hoping they would be and they did it without their best player for about half those games. Now if they can stay at .500 ball for the next 20 games I'll be happy as well.
    The one thing that has me a bit worried is all these nagging injuries. Sure would like to see them get a little break from the injury bug.

    They only had the other pic with him in Celtics garb. I didn't like that. So, I got a different one. It happens to be smaller.

    it will be difficult to win, we almost lost with dame (dear god, that was terrible game)

    nurk struggles against davis, whos been in a great form lately, westbrook looks like he improved his play since hes been demoted to the bench, lebron can still pull great ganes and the lakers have won games lately, although against the bad teams, but still, wins are wins... unless we shoot really good or the lakers shoot really poor, im afraid were in for another disappointment
