I am sure the Lakers will not win 90% of their games like they have so far. There will be a 5-5 stretch or something like that, and the pitch forks will be out for LBJ, Vogel, Rob, Jeanie etc.

It is what it is, but the team has shown it has elite ability to defend and can score with high octane offense teams like the Suns. You can not have a great regular season start through finish. There will be some rough patches. Important to see some development in our sets and execution on offense. That is how I will judge Vogel at that time.


I saw some glimpses of them running a set offense tonight. When they get it dialed in it's gonna be a massacre. If they don't, we'll probably still make the WCF.

If we can get a consistent third scorer every game, we are going to be a mighty tough out.

I know his defense is bad but it'll probably get better.. Kuz is that guy. Especially if he's on the floor with Rondo.

LeBron said he didn’t know the Thunder were the only team he had left that he hadn’t gotten a triple double against. When Vogel congratulated him postgame, he thought it was a sarcastic congrats about his seven turnovers.

LOL

Bron just casually set another NBA record tonight. First player in NBA history to record a triple dub against every team.

Lebron is racking up some really nice stats but this one might come with a notation beside it. Players who only ever play for one team won't ever get a chance at this stat because they'd never face themselves. Like Tim Duncan. He might not be a triple double machine but even if he were he'd never achieve that stat because he played his entire career with the Spurs and so therefore would never achieve a triple double against the Spurs.

Still a pretty cool stat though.

Stay healthy Bron

Trying to remember the last time a Laker has performed at this insanely high level consistently over a period of 10-20 games. Kobe in 05-07 seasons for sure... but since then?

Not completely basketball related, but does anyone know why Lebron's phone alarm goes off at every home game post game interview?

In other words, he has some phone alarm that goes off shortly after 10PM? To do physical therapy or something? Just curious.

Here is a link if you are curious around 0.55, hopefully you don't get the BS Clippers "LA Our Way" advertisement

Look like a timer, after it went off he started removing something around his waist or legs. Might be some type of ice or heat wrap.

Golic and Wingo were talking about that stat and they were saying "Magic Johnson was never going to do it because he was always on the Lakers, Larry Bird was always on the Celtics, and Russel Westbrook is going to do it as soon as he does it against OKC"

HA! Lakers played the Thunder before the Rockets did. Suck it Westbrook

Westbrook did play the thunder already. 21/9/12
Missed it by 1 assist.

Recent history, they didn’t start counting some stats until the 80’s.

in the midst of trying to secure a tight win against the Phoenix Suns last week, head coach Frank Vogel did something he’s often tried to do in fourth quarters this season: Get LeBron James a rest.

To do achieve this goal, he told Alex Caruso to go wait at the scorer’s table to sub in for James, but quickly realized he had made a mistake.

“He told Alex to go back to the bench,” Vogel recalled with a laugh earlier this week. “Yelled out ‘what are you doing over there at the scorer’s table? Go back to the bench. What’s the matter with you?’”

And so James stayed in the game, something Vogel was just fine with, and shared as an example of how he and James are collaborating on the stars’ minutes this season.
