Ouch....

 

[TJL]

How many times can they let the Gayzers literally throw knockout blows to LeBron's face down low?

All night is the answer

 

[DJ]

Rondo made a great play with a steal to interrupt a potential layup from Nurkic to feed Lance for a layup on the other end. Rondo is playing some very good niche ball and this is why Magic signed him.

A lot of people in the regular NBA threads LOL when they signed Rondo, McGee, and Stephenson. They have all been consistent contributors....

 

[DJ]

Pelinka and Magic knew what they were doing.....

With a win tonight, we will bump San Antonio out of the top 8 in the western conference. How sweet it is!!

 

[Retroram52]

And the Tyson Chandler signing was the coup d'tat for those same laughing distractors. He has provided the defensive presence in the paint we have lacked since Shaquille left. Excellent signing so much so that here in Phoenix, people are scratching their heads as to why Chamdler is doing so well in LA unlike when he was here. The answer: Chandler hated Phoenix and playing for the cluster eff-job the Suns are and have been for some time. Put him in the right environment with the his present teammates and voila!!

 

[Retroram52]

Nurkic with the "crybaby" gesture after LeBron goes down again. This on a night where James is dominating the Blazers nearly by himself!!

 

[Retroram52]

Die you dogs from Portland!! Flagrant 1 foul for CJ McCollum for grabbing LeBron's arm. James makes both shots. He's three points away from passing Wilt Chamberlain.

 

[TJL]

Move over Wilt

 

[DJ]

James will pass MJ on the scoring list....

He didn't get a lot of PT there, did he?

They are playing the kids....

This performance is why @WiggyRuss is so butthurt James left the Cavs....

 

[Retroram52]

LeBron James has dropped 44 points tonight — the most by a Laker since Kobe Bryant scored 60 in his career finale.

 

[Retroram52]

After James called himself a sucky FT shooter and was 0 for 2 from the FT line at halftime, he hit 13 straight free throws since.

 

[Retroram52]

James passes Wilt Chamberlain on the all-time scoring list. Another achievement he can add to a long list. We win the contest and we go to 8-6 on the year. This is getting good!!

Later...

Just fun to watch. When was the last time we were two games over 500? LOL

 

[Rambunctious]

I guess Rondo will miss a couple of weeks with a broken hand. Maybe Lonzo will get more playing time.

I wonder who will now back up Lonzo?

 

[trojanfan12]

Lebron. lol

Seriously though, as long as one of Ball, Lebron or Ingram are on the court, it shouldn't be much of an issue. Just have to stagger their rest. KCP could play the point in a pinch too.

Alex Caruso is on a two way, so they could probably use some of his NBA days if they feel they need to.
