Yes, you and almost everyone with some common sense.

I guess that eliminates most of the people on this thread.

Gona be a lot of losses like this one this year. I’m not nearly as high on this team as some of you.

I may have to take this back... we'll see...

yawn ... LeBron with another triple-double 

Howard is looking to be a great acquisition. 

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Here is the schedule for November: Chicago, Miami, Toronto, Phoenix, Golden State, Sacramento, Atlanta, OKC, OKC, Memphis, San Antonio, New Orleans, Washington

I agree that the Howard signing may be huge, and he is earning the starting job/more minutes.  I could see us winning all of the remaining games in November, or losing a few (Miami is playing really well, potential for a weird loss against Sac or Atl).  Probably looking at somewhere between 18-1 to 15-4 by end of November.  This team isn't firing on all cylinders and probably won't be until February/March.  Could be scary good if we can remain healthy.

[Angel Oracle]

Howard almost looks like vintage early 2010's Howard. 

AD continues to show amazing athleticism and outside shooting for a big man.   He's the total package.    He + LBJ =

[Lou]

New Orleans is now 1-5 

[AngelsLakersFan]

This has been a pretty frustrating game so far.

[AngelsLakersFan]

A far less frustrating second half.

Yawn, yet another double digit second half deficit was overcome, outscoring the Bulls 38-19 in the 4th quarter.

6-1 record, now 

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Bulls youngsters were hyped and played well for the entire first half and half of the 3rd quarter.  Then, the Lakers bench, especially Kyle Kuzma, got on a roll.  I'm especially pleased that Kuzma got going.  He has looked out of sorts.  Being slightly shorthanded without Avery Bradley and battling through an "off" game for Anthony Davis, that was a nice road win!

[Lou]

Sideshow Bob looked good for the Bulls

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Ha!  Kuzma has got to do something about that hair.  Not a good look.

Must’ve messed around last week

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Great game last night.  Miami kept it close all night thanks to Butler and Dragic.  Lakers had the clamps on the D, forcing the best 3-pt shooting team thus far in the NBA (small sample size) to a bad shooting night.  The Heat played a zone much of the night and that confused us, but once we began attacking them to the middle it opened up opportunities and we opened up a lead late.  Game was closer than the final score would have you believe.  Moment of the night was a KCP pass to Caruso for a jam that had one of the Heat players running for cover so they wouldn't be part of the Alex Caruso poster.  7-1!!!
