If only games were one quarter and playoff series were four games.

It looks like my plan to properly motivate the Lakers is working.

Shut up, ya moran.

Just like a year ago, no worries

Just like then, a lot of new faces to mesh with the returnees.

Nice to watch the Lakers trounce the TWolves last night.  No AD, no problem.  I know they were without KAT, but I don't know that he would've made a huge difference.  Once he was ruled out, the Lakers might've been better served to have Lebron sit out too.  That depth, though.

Kuz is looking different from a year ago.   More confidence again?

[HaloMilliVanilli]

I've read that there are huge splits between Kuz starting or coming off the bench.  The #s bare out that he likes starting.  Or maybe he just really likes making $40 million.

[Angel Oracle]

Someone forgot to guard a career 7 pts per game Gary Trent Jr. last night.

Like clockwork

Routed the Rockets on the road tonight, 120-102.

The usuals came up big, plus THT had his best NBA game to date.   In 21 min, 17 pts, 5 rebs, 3 assts, 4 steals, and only 2 TOs

Rockets had fans tonight, about 4000.

Ho hum, another road rout of the Rockets, win by 17 and up 30 in the 3rd quarter.

Team is no doubt a lot more in synch now after 12 games.   Keep it going!

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Lot of garbage time in this one, watched it in it's entirety at work this morning.  Was over at halftime.  Great defensive effort in the first half, lots of active hands and helping/blocks.  I'm really liking Schoeder, warming up to his potential.  Funny thing, I actually like him as a harassing defender maybe even more than his offensive ability.  He presses the guard and forces them to eat clock just getting the ball past the midline, moves his feet to stay in front.  I feel like we've struggled with smaller, fast points defensively for so long, maybe this year we'll have a fighting chance on them.

Not a good game at all from THT.  Didn't have much impact, shooting poorly, just not engaged.  Maybe some of that was all the garbage time?  

Will be nice to see how the team responds to the roadie back to back tonight in OKC.

[Angel Oracle]

They responded well, 128-99 over OKC, admittedly a shell of what they once were.

Six in double figures, Gasol with 4 blocks, and while THT struggled shooting he still had 4 assts for the second straight game.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Man, KCP just seems automatic from the corners on 3's right now.  Hope that continues, but probably not at the 50% + that he has shot thus far.  Really helps to keep the lanes open when teams can't sag off of him.  Team looked really good vs. Bucks on the road yesterday.  Not perfect, especially only 15 games or so in on a new season, but pretty good all things considered.  Gonna be a fun year.

[Angel Oracle]

LBJ has fun in Cleveland, 46 pts.

Lakers are now 10-0 on the road.

THT rebounded back Thursday, 17 pts.   That is one very deep team.

Tonight, destruction of the Pistons to avenge that ugly road loss against the worst team in the East

[Angel Oracle]

I sure hope AD isn’t out for long.

They looked average the past two games against an at best meh Okie City team.

Why are they looking average in general at home so far?  Much better play on the road

The Suns have a better record than the Lakers.

Lakers and Knicks are vying to acquire Andre Drummond.
