    yeah, but the Pels were without Ingram. They've been really hot over the last 15 games. Of course, that's easier when they have 12 of those 15 games at home

    I have really enjoyed having amazing guards for the past decade trust me…. But we just haven’t had a dominant big man since LA.

    Sucks that this is just an annoying Statmuse feed focusing on the same two random teams.

    And now we get 5 years of jokes about it. Yay!

    Why? Did Zion Williamson see his shadow?

    Go easy on The HCP, he's drawn in by the cartoon player images and not the actual stats or teams. Some of us grow up slower than others.

    The Lakers have turned it around a little recently. Credit to Darvin Ham. I think it's also helped having LeBron out, because that made AD the focus of the offense and he found his game. Westbrook is doing that thing of improving throughout the season that he's done every year since he left OKC. Never seems to help in the playoffs, though. Lakers stats over the past ten games (6-4) are nothing to get too wild about, though. When Austin Reaves is your third best player...

    Pissed off that they have Wenyen Gabriel. I never understood us not keeping him.

    So long as winning record counts for precisely zero.

    A Pelicans fan saying "yay! Now Zion's put a stretch of healthy play together, he's PROVED he's not an injury waiting to happen" would be like someone jumping off a skyscraper and saying "so far so good!" every time they survive falling past another floor.

    tl;dr: enjoy it while it lasts.

    Not to mention actual impact on the team.

    Don't look now, but since we beat them the Knicks have been playing really well.
