So we have NO and HOU on road BTBs: will AD have to have a "calf soreness" (feel free to make up your own injury) monitored for one of those?...
And I'm just the kind of fan who allowed himself to feel "sure" we'd get to .500 by beating the Knicks. Damn! This game was maddening.
The loss to the Knicks: one of those games where a guy misses a shot and it caroms wide, lands amid 3 Lakers, but it takes a bounce and one guy on...
Yep! Furthermore, the play-in thing is just more money-grabbing. It waters down what was already watered-down. I remember the NHL getting to the...
Lebron's perimeter D has been woeful this year, and that's because perimeter D puts different demands on lower body (legs!) reaction time, and...
I remember Wilt on the GREAT team of 1971-72. He was their 4th leading scorer, behind Goodrich, West and 23 year old Jim McMillian, who stepped up...
I'm old enough to have watched Wilt play, but I was a child and not a discerning fan, especially on defensive play. NBA didn't track blocked...
Yea, I was hoping Lue would insert Russ around halfway through the 4th, so the Knicks could get back in it, maybe win it. Russ played 23 mins, 0...
Clips just beat the Knicks and Julius went 5 for 24 with 5 fouls, with a pretty vicious elbow to Plumlee's face. It seemed to really help the...
It's going to be a the jit when - and it is when - Beastley starts bombing with 6-8 3s in a few games. When he hits, dude's stroke is...
He put Gary Trent Jr on skates and Jr about broke at least one of his ankles in the TOR game. Damn. Not bad for a hillbilly.
In the win against TOR, we only played 5 guys off the bench, and Wenyan was a +19, the worst +/- off the bench. Rui was a +21; AR was a +26, and...
At the moment, AR has to be considered the Most Underrated Player in the NBA. I wonder how long that will last. We get the same dude every game;...
D-Lo threw away a few passes but in total played out of his mind in his first game back. Those pull-up 3s? Hey, I'm a Laker fan: since when do we...
If I missed the game (thank gawd I didn't) and someone only told me both AD and Van Vleet had 8 points each, I'd guess we lost by 20 and...maybe,...
KD out 3 weeks with freak ankle sprain sustained in warm-ups. This seems to me somehow even more of a freak accident than D-Lo's ankle thing....
Wow. Shawn Kemp arrested for being (allegedly) involved in a drive-by. Damn. I've heard his name used a lot by the "NBA shouldn't be allowed to...
In 23 mins, Brick goes 7/2/7 with only 3 TOs: Clips beat Raptors. My HEX didn't work! Apologies to all 'n sundry at Lakers Ball.com! Van Vleet...
This post runs hot and cold on AD, but I think it summarizes perfectly my feeling about the guy: astounding talent, but the career-long fragility...
Dear Russell Westbrick and the Clippers FO: Tomorrow night (AKA "tonight", as I'm posting this after midnight), Wed March 8th: national TV: you,...
