A winnable game for the Lakers. Looking forward to watching Tobias Harris. He's a good young player who will be a restricted free agent this summer. Someone Jim and Mitch should probably take a look at.

Maybe we will get to see Black tonight.

Don't think too hard LA-Boy, it's Friday!

They'd better play well tonight. Byron was pissed after the Clippers game. After putting them through a particularly punishing practice where they were running lines and going hard on drills. He said:

I did myself a favor and I didn't look at the video. For me, if had looked at the video last night or this morning, it would have made me more (ticked) off. So I figured let's get through practice, I'll go home and and look at it. Then I will come out here tomorrow (ticked) off even more.

He also called them "soft" and said:

I was telling them the truth. I'm not pulling punches. I told them what I felt at halftime. I was looking at a team that was having a good time at our expense and we had nobody out there doing anything about it.

Gotta love that he's working on restoring that pride and competitive attitude.

Yea TJF12. No coach since Jackson has done this. The mental toughness he is instilling is what this team needs. And I like how Scott is consistent. Losing should not be fun and he wants these weenies to get it that you should not be standing around watching Giffendor doing dunks or Paul shooting threes or let Matt Barnes block your shot from behind, etc.

Kobe's out.

I still think the Lakers win. I'll say, 98-93.

I hope not, we need a PG. We have forwards.

Roy Tarpley dead at 50.

Our only SF is injured and we got Ryan Kelly starting at the 3, I would like some Tobias Harris.

He's more worthy of a sizable contract than Chandler Parsons imo.

i'm with ya. you're gonna win some and lose some, but it's what you take away from each(ESPECIALLY the losses) that shapes a winning team's attitude. plus i'm guessing being trahsed by the Clips didn't help matters...

I got home and ate dinner way too early.

too early don't bother me. too late's another matter entirely...

btw, i'm hearing Tim Brown's up for HOF honors this year...?

Tim Brown deserves it. He was a beast.

 

[DJ]

Brown definitely deserves to get in.

I think Jordan Clarkson projects as Kobe's replacement at SG in a few seasons, I just don't think he's a PG in the making. I think we'll get a good PG this summer.
