Speaking of court design (with the in season tournament) …. what’s your favorite "site" color graphic selection here usually? Top 2 choices.

I love color and there’s “really” nice graphically designed options to choose from, unlike any other Lakers site on the planet. But for me Courtside does it. Very classy and easy on the eyes for all the time spent here. And Road Purple which I love but am too lazy to switch.

Thought this could be an interesting series of threads for posterity sake. One each 20 games to get the overall pulse of where we're at.

This thread is for your post game reactions and recommendations.

Suns game:

AD started slow and I was already ticked at him by halftime. Second half he woke up and showed up big time. Just give me that second half AD more often and I'll be a happy man.

LeBron's outside shot is still cold, but it was good to see him take over the playmaking and take over the game when it mattered most.

Christian Wood = wow, I was shocked watching him turn the game with his boards and D. He just earned more minutes.

AR needs to let his summer experience go and get his head fully in this new season. I'm confident he will be ok.

Gabe impressed me with his hustle play and infuriated me with his chucking from 3.

FreeMax!

Coach Ham: I still don't get it.

Alright, as usual we have nba.com power ratings here. It's quite fun to follow these ratings over the course of the season, and it seems this year we start higher than usual. Most nba journalists like the team, so here we go (#1-#4 are DEN, MIL, BOS & PHX):

With an impressive re-shuffling of the roster at the trade deadline last season, the Lakers went from 13th place to the Western Conference finals. With the new group together for a full season, they shouldn’t have to dig out of such a big hole.
