Way to blow the lead guys. 4 point game now

DAMN IT MEEKS WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT SHOT ? UGH!!

Looks like the Lakers have figured a few things out especially with Marshall playing the point and several players actually coming out of their coma's such as Shawne Williams and Wesley Johnson along with Gasbag who apparently is over his mental and physical funks.

They finished the game with a nice lead and have actually scored over 100 points in a while. Not a bad win. Let's see if they can continue this trend or maybe it was all a fluke. Sunday night against the Nuggies should provide a clue.

23 points, 17 rebounds and 8 assists!!

Damnit Pau!! You're going to cost us ping pong balls if you keep that crap up!!

Well, to those of you watching, unless there is a monumental collapse, the Lakers, I believe will have this one in the W column. Hopefully we go into the Nuggies game Sunday night 15-19 and a mini-winning streak started. I have to work tomorrow so I am out.

For one of the few times in history, I am rooting against our team for every remaining game this year. We have 1 chance and 1 chance only to get a good player in the draft before 2016. We are almost already out of the playoffs. We need a lottery pick.

Yeah, Lakers win. Hopefully Marshall is the real deal.

I agree, Lakers need to get a decent Draft Pick. You can only spend, spend, spend so much.

Gotta admit the kid looked fairly solid despite Lakersrule's observation of his foot speed...

Remember the Suns fan that said K Butter couldn't play??

I know it's only 1 game, but this tells me what potential he has! This is the Kendall I saw at UNC!!

 

[Retroram52]

Yea Louie, I remember that Suns fan stating KMar was too slow and couldn't read defenses and now that KMar understands he is the man by injuries default, he has calmed down and actually played up to his potential that made him a high draft pick for Phoenix.

I mean he played quite well last night and Luke Walton commented that KMar not only thinks like a PG, reads the defenses like one, but distributes the ball facilitating individual player rhythms which in turn translates into a team rhythm. And you could see it. KMar would bring the ball down court read the D either pass off or shoot and he always got a player the pass in their rhythm. You can't teach that.

And dare I say, we have not witnessed that kind of PG play at that level since Magic Johnson. Now granted the kid is not as fast as say Wesley Johnson, but he is quick enough and he is young. So yea, I think we have found a starting point guard for cheap and a pretty good one for sure!! We shall see if I am right starting Sunday night.

He's still slow-footed. Deliberate, good court vision, and a good passer, but he ain't blowing by defenders like a lot of point guards out there
