    Great game by a lot of guys tonight. Just didn't move the ball in the end and let them back in it. Holton mentioned how when they went ISO Grant at the end they made our offense too predictable...no ball movement..easy to guard

    It's so dumb. I don't understand why NBA teams don't intentionally soccer kick the ball every time someone tries a bounce pass. There is no penalty as far as I know. Unless, does it reset the shot clock?

    Sure Scoot had another good game, but why talk about that when we can bitch and complain about his first 10 games?

    Someone needs to tell Holton the Blazers scored 63 in the second half, so it wasn't the offense that was the issue, it was 72 points a Wemby/Collinsless team put up on them.

    My biggest complaint with Simon’s this year. And at times Grant

    Badji has blocked 5 shots in his first 20 minutes of NBA play over two games

    I think Holton would tell you that he was complaining because the team started going to that when it’s been our demise much of the season. He wanted Chanceey to put a stop to it

    Brogdon provides everything that the Lakers critically need; a PG and 3 point shooting. Would Vando and a 1st get it done?

    That's why Holton is doing TV and selling insurance and not coaching anymore!

    I would give him a lot of credit if he can pull that off. I'm doubtful he can.

    Last year I wanted him. But now......what does he bring that Carmara and Walker don't? I think we need a different type of forward if we are trading Brogdon.
