    Sounds like it's starting to be a consensus among everyone now... something that hasn't happened yet.

    I half expected Udrih to light us up off the bench, but he's been relatively quiet so far.

    Teams have figured out how to take Dame out of games. This proves that no matter what folks thought, this is LA's team

    Ummm he has the ball a lot. He's not looking to shoot like he used to.

    He's been the reason we got back into this game. Udrih is no MVP.

    He does look tapped but he wasnt the only all star averaging 30 plus minutes and participate in the all star game.

    I agree something just isn't right. Could be what JLPRK suggests....Not sold on that. Only Dame knows.

    Good question.

    1. Ever since the shoes....?
    2. Ever since Wade laid him out....?
    3. Ever since he shot his mouth off about not being an all star....?
    4. And what about his fingers?

    ??

    I'll take #2, but it's oddly coincidental that since his shoes came out he has only had maybe 2-3 good games (maybe more, but not many more).

    No dude. He takes himself out. He doesn't want take the shots he used to hit.

    Adversity is good for him in the long run. I'm not worried.

    You suggested the coach will fix whatever is wrong. He has to know what's wrong before fixing it.

    He did win player of the week since with 3 good games despite Westbrook getting 3 triple doubles.

    They need both at the top of their game to even think about competing in a playoff series. LA can't carry the team w/o Dame & vice versa. But you're right, LA is a beast.

    Also, Wright shoots like 100 threes before the game and then in game, he shoots off the side of the backboard? Really?

    I disagree, he wants to take the shots he isn't making. When the 3 went cold he took it to the rack. When that didn't work he went back to the deep ball. He's in a slump. In his best outings he's never been a big first half scorer. I hope he comes out and scores 25
    in the second half.
