    I just cooked and ate a whole package of bacon during the 2nd half. I think it spurred the Lakers to victory. You're welcome.

    So good to get a win. Let's start a new streak. I'm glad to see us a little healthier and ready for business.

    Let's put pain on Cuban's face tonight. Assuming he still travels with the team and pumps iron with them.

    Looks like we're back! Nice to see, especially in a back to back situation.

    Are we back? Yes, we are. A tough stretch of games coming though:

    • Suns
    • Pelicans
    • Pistons
    • Knicks

    You are being sarcastic? That's a tough stretch? At home?

    :LLLLLebronlaughing:

    So 9 and 5 in December. How do we feel about us now that we've gotten through this challenging month of scheduling? We lost to the Clippers, Milwaukee, Pacers, Denver and split with Dallas. Those are some good teams. Many folks said wait till we get through Dec. and we can really assess where we are. I'm feeling pretty good about it, personally.

    Well, we still lead the Western Conference by 2.5 games. Not bad, I'd say.

    and we were missing lebron for the denver game and AD for the indy game. i'd say that's a pretty good job.

    9-5 is exactly what i predicted we'd go last month so I'm good with it and especially good with it since we still lead the west by 2.5 games AND the Clippers did not capitalize on their win over us as they laid an egg against the Jazz at home.

    I think given we didn't have AD for the Indy game and didn't have LeBron for the Denver game, we fared well against the top teams. I would have liked to have gotten a win over at least one of Milwaukee or LAC in this stretch, but we did have some unexpected wins on the road that helped mitigate these future losses - hence why we're STILL 2.5 games ahead and an easy schedule upcoming.

    I still feel good about this team - of course I think we should make a move or two either via trade or buyout - we need to consolidate the roster a bit as there's a logjam at the PG position currently. If we can somehow parlay Bradley/Cook/Cousins into a solid playmaker/wing I'd be ecstatic.
