IF they are working on it as much in practice as they say they are...they should improve as they learn to communicate and trust each other.

But they need to get here sooner rather than later because they can't dig themselves to big a hole or they'll be on the outside looking in.

Slow starts in the west are never good unless you can go on a ridiculous run like Utah did in the last 50 games

LOL.

Lakers currently ranked 27th in ppg allowed, 23 in opp fg%, and 23rd in DEF EFF.

All horrible

With this much youth and this many new faces...you thought they'd be better than this 10 games in?

In a totally non sports post.....I'll post something I recently did on FB. Because, it's about life. And I think we can all relate....and because I post my daily menu on here....

I have debated posting this since it happened a while ago....and I'm certainly no saint.....

I was at a store doing some shopping.....and in the checkout line.....well the person bagging the groceries was Down Syndrome......I couldn't care less having spent time working with them in high school a lifetime ago.....there were 3-4 people in front of me and it was around 2pm on a weekend.....suddenly somebody got in line behind me and I heard some dramatic sighing.....

I turned and looked and turned around again.....

Then "Fuck, let's go, people have stuff to do."

I almost turned around at that moment but thought better of it. A person left and we moved forward....."They shouldn't have these people doing this job."

For a moment I thought I was on What would you do? I've watched it before and like the show so I looked around to see if there was a camera crew.

I finally turned around and said, "Why don't you shut the #!@# up?"

"You are okay with this?" he replied.

"He's working, I have no problem with him earning a paycheck."

He looked aghast that I said it. "He's taking forever."

"If you don't like it why not leave or get in another line?"

He got quiet and I turned around. We moved forward and the person in front of me had a large order....

"This is ridiculous...."

I turned around again, "Get in another @#$% line or I'm escorting you out. Make your decision quickly."

I'm no tough guy, but my principles are what they are and I have a temper.....just glad it didn't escalate because I didn't have bail money on me that day. LOL.

Wiz down 21 at half in Dallas.

I will ask this once again. Why didn't they get rid of Brooks again? @tlance @wildturkey

I mean, is it really Scott Brooks' fault John Wall spent his offseason looking like a dude that spent 2 straight days at Ghost Bar before passing out at an all you can eat Vegas buffet?

People are assholes.

Especially when made to wait.

Good for you.
