I've been beating the Lakers will finish ahead of Clippers and that they still have a shot at the title drum all year long. This is the most significant game they've played against each other and it's probably the most complete team the Lakers have had since the Clippers have started bearing them.

Win and stay out of the playin. Simple as that.

Lakers definitely playing better basketball right now. AD & Bron has to play tonight right? Surprised they needed OT to beat the Jazz minus Lauri and Clarkson. Clipps well rested. See if we can get anything from Norm, Mann, Batum, and RoCo. Also low key I think Bones will make Norm expendable at season's end

I'm partial to Norm cause he's from San Diego but if he's not producing then it is what it is. I think Norm is the most proven. Who Bones really makes expendable I think is Brandon Boston.

Of Norm, Boston and Bones I think we should keep whoever the best passer/playmaker + defense is. Right now that's probably Norm but if we can similar production from one of the other two for less money then I'm with it.

Nah, Bones at 6'2" is a point or two guard while Boston(6' 7") is a wing. We gotta keep both of them imo. The third year will tell us everything about them moving forward plus they're both on cheap rookie deals. Going to need Norm to step up and get back in sync for the rest of the season if we're going to have any success.

Both bones and Boston do the same shyt imo. The height doesn't make a difference to me unless the length is giving you better defensive production.


It's been killing me to see Luke firing away from three like he is in memo is when that's all we asked of him. I'd rather have Bones and Luke than Bones and Norm.

Why do you think he started shooting?

Maybe the Grizz coach is a shooting guard whisperer. I actually thought Luke was going to have a breakout season with us this year but he would only shoot the ball when he was completely wide open which wasn't a lot. Then he was hurt a lot still and teams started hunting him on defense. I actually don't miss him that much at all. He was frustrating on our team and like you said Russ probably could've gotten him better looks if they played together but I knew there was a chance he'd come back to life on the Grizz. Lets see what he looks like in the post season.

He's a defensive liability so he's going to get hunted. But his shooting is legit enough that he can win you a game or two.

Didn't like how we faded towards the end, but I think Russ popping shot got LeBron worked up. Well see if it was worth if for them depending on how Hebron plays next couple games.

Along similar Mine's just hoping Kawhi is healthy getting into the playoffs. I think we should think about rest g EG if we can swing it.

Good win.
