    Haha. Game is on TNT so they'll talk more about how Warriors lost the game and less in what the Lakers did right.

    You know normally I'd say this is a great opportunity for a poor team like us to catch the Warriors off guard.

    But we are so bad that it's not even a possibility. We'd have to play out of our minds to even be competitive. Out of our minds.

    Our defense is going to be Swiss cheese'd tonight. I mean if we're within 15 points I'm going to call it a good outing for us.

    Well, "good chance" is defined by being 50% or better, I'll keep my optimism.

    Really? That's the definition of good chance? I must have missed that one.

    I'm not optimistic at all that we keep that pick. I'm more optimistic the Lakers use their prodigious spending power to bring in talent this summer by overpaying for it. I'm more optimistic that Byron won't last past this summer at the latest. I'm more optimistic that I find a twenty dollar bill in the jeans that have been sitting at the bottom of my laundry basket for 8 weeks.

    If we get beat by 40-50 points, on national tv, maybe, just maybe the outcry will be even louder for B0ron to go and the FO will have to address his situation. So far they haven't come out and defended him at all. Wishful thinking I know, but it's the optimism thread.

    I'm torn. If we win that basically gives Scott a life vest for probably the rest of the season. We get embarrassed...who knows.

    I'm not rooting for a loss, I just don't see any other outcome for this one. Best team in the league vs 2nd worst team? IF we have to lose maybe it's historic, and I hope B0ron is embarrassed and shamed and it's one step closer to him being gone.

    So Chuck just apologized for disrespecting the Lakers earlier this year calling them the fourth best team in Cali. Thought I was watching an episode of the Twilight Zone. Then he in the same breath dissed the Clippers saying Lakers might be better. Lol.....yeah

    Ha! I missed that.

    I love that the Clippers are having dirt thrown on them now. They suck. They'll always suck and no amount of makeup can make that pig beautiful.

    It was nice to see Tarik Black play some tonight. He did well, too. Makes you wonder why he can't get off the bench and Bass plays instead of him at the backup 5.
