    I thought the numbers would have more impact if you read right away that they haven't had any losses in the 30-40+ range this season and very few blowouts.

    That's why I need an editor like you around though LT.

    Optimism: we were down by 20 plus to the champs in their house but we didn't give up, kept fighting and made it yet another nail biter game down the stretch against them. All three games with the Warriors have been close this season. Last year we would have laid down and died once we got behind that far. This year we clawed back, got it to single digits, and even took the lead in the fourth. If we had a closer we could take these guys out.

    Our next opponents:
    Blazers
    TWolves
    Grizzlies
    Clippers

    One question. Is it wrong if I feel all of those games are winnable ones? Because I totally do.

    They are all winnable, but obviously we will not win them all. :)

    We just went toe to toe with the Golden State Warriors twice in a week.

    We should absolutely anticipate beating those teams.

    We’ll go 3-1. Somehow we’ll lose to the Grizzlies lol.

    Still we got through this brutal stretch. 1-3 is a win for me considering I thought we’d be 0-4 as did most realistic Lakers fans.

    3–1 would put 14-20 and then finish off the year with another game in Houston.

    7 games under .500 at worst when the new year starts. Not bad considering his young these Lakers are and the injuries as well as the brutal schedule.

    like i've said before, all this team needs is a veteran finisher and a lot of these close losses will end up being wins next season

    Moral victory? Probably not but I'd still take it. 11-20 and yet we're just 4 games behind the 8th ranked with a positive outlook moving forward.

    It was a bad night for Kyle and we're in it and I blame Luke for running too much offense through him. He's still a rookie.

    Let's close out the year on a positive note. With a 3-0 perhaps?

    Josh Hart with a double double. Not bad

    For the month of December he's shooting 45% from 3.

    My optimism is that KCP is on a one year deal and Magic and Rob are just crazy enough to fire Luke because he isn’t getting results. #NotMyLuke

    I slept and now glad I did not watch this game, and I won't watch the Christmas game either. Luke seems finds a way to lose games and hopefully will be fired soon
