    Now he is up to plus 25! And, no i don't think this will wake Nurk up. Not sure if that is possible.

    Fun quarter!

    Any team with Westbrook is guaranteed to shit the bed. Blazers were just leaving him open from three lol and he was air balling.

    Pat Bev talking shit...I bet he doesn't have anything to say now. He poked the fucking bear.

    50 percent from the 3 19 assists and only 4 turnovers pretty impressive for this team.

    The team plays better when they are able to push the ball. I don't think that's a Nurkic effect. He's not a primary ball handler.

    Saying this for years
    Now THAT is what this team is capable of. I know it's only the Lakers, but still.

    This team needs to run. It needs to generate most of its 3s off drive-and-kick or ball rotation. It needs to attack the paint and get to the line a couple of times; that opens up the arc even more.

    3-pointers early in the shot clock without a pass aren't usually acceptable. But this, THIS, this is perfect.
