    Someone tell McCollum that it’s OK if he hits an open 3 please.

    2 for 1. Not a new concept if you've been watching this team for the last 6-7 years.

    As shitty as that 2nd quarter was, I'll take the lead.

    But dear god, the 3rd quarter. I'm legit worried.

    If the refs would let Wenyen play defense and CJ could hit some shots; we would have a chance.

    Well that was one UGLY 2nd quarter. Our lack up depth is a real issue. Gary Trent looking a little rattled. CJ not playing great. Yet we're still up 1!

    That was one of the ugliest quarters I’ve ever seen.

    Can we end the game now, before the 3rd quarters begins?

    Maybe that's because lakers are fouling a lot more?
