    I think Durant is just too good for that. But I'm hoping you're right!

    Lakers are 20-10 over their last 30 games. That's a damn good run..

    No Hart, No Ingram, No George, & Likely No Kuzma.

    What? No man. No one is talking about Paul George. We're discussing Devean George, he is coming out of retirement. Luke wants him.

    We hung in there for much of the game and weren't run off the floor. Even better that we got out of Oracle without Pachulia injuring one of ours.

    Yeah, I wasn't expecting a W tonight since Kuz was out and still BI of course. Kept it pretty competitive.

    Seeing Durant being guarded by Caldwell-Pope, Caruso, Wear, Williams...I thought he'd go off for a career night. Did not...clunky second half shooting. We would have it down to single digits...striking distance but in the end their talent was just enough to keep us at bay.

    ...and Washington won their game against the second best team record wise in the East. This night did not fully suck.

    Even though they only had KD, it's still freaking KD.

    We were missing too many of our key players but still kept it around 10 points the whole game.

    And if the 10 missed free throws for the game were all made, could've gone either way IMO.

    Once I heard of all of GS’s injuries I started getting pretty hopeful that we could pull off the win.

    But as good as we’ve been, and even considering that GS had so many injuries, we really aren’t good enough to beat the world champs on their home floor on the second of a back-to-back with 3 of our best players injured. Glad that we kept it semi-competitive.

    If 3 games ago you had told me we’d go 2-1 against Denver, Cleveland, and Golden State, I’d have been ecstatic.

    Win or lose, it's the team I chose. But in that particular season, I think I was busy all year long...
