Great win and they battled through 6 periods of play. I like that backcourt combo of Clarkson and Ellington and the frontcourt of Sacre and Hill is starting to come together as well.

Stupid idiotic win. no reason to win this game at all. A loss tonight and a loss against the Knicks and the Lakers would be rolling towards a top 3 pick.

They still will get a top 5 pick. Anybody that doesn't like the win is a moron.

I like the win DJ!

I just went to the Kings game the night before and didn't get home until after midnight!

To make things worse, I had to perform training for a major account at 5 am the next morning. LOL.

Couldn't sleep a wink, stressed I wouldn't wake up to get there on time.

Missed the Bulls game completlely

how can ANYONE as a Lakers fan root AGAINST their own team...?

the next draft ain't all THAT loaded with talent anyways...

I can understand it to a point. It's about the current season vs. what's best for the team long term. Of course, as fans, we always want the team to win.

However, in a season like this, losing could be/is better for the future because of landing that top 5 pick. This draft may not be that deep, but there are some very good players like Okafor and Mudiay that will be available in the top 5.

It's like the debate that some of us were having re: FA's when Lebron and 'Melo made their decisions. Some wanted to use cap space to sign guys that would have improved the team enough to get them into the 6-8 seed playoff range and others felt it was better to suck again, hopefully get a top 5 pick and look to bag an elephant in one or both of the upcoming FA classes.

If we happen to land a top 5 pick, I see Mitch trading it for a more proven player.

We already have young guns in Randle, Clarkson and Black. Why have a ton of youth when there's nobody there to lead them - especially with Kobe likely retiring after next season!

If Philadelphia keeps winning we may end up third in the standings yet.

Have you ever thought about doing one of those mock drafts? They are pretty fun. And you know your stuff, you'd probably be pretty good at it.
