Not expecting anything out of this team at this stage. Once we get a real 3 on the roster who can play defense I'd say we win most of our remaining games. Until then we can get leads but we can't keep them. |

IT will miss the next two games with sore hip. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

If the guy doesn’t abandon his “get knocked to the floor” style of play his career might not last long. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

That evens the odds even more. This will be a tough matchup w/ Memphis on their home floor.
Zo is going to have to show up big tonight. |

He's spent about as much time on the deck as Roy Hibbert! |

Prediction - Lakers will be up, look like we have it in the bag. We'll let them back in it, led by Tyreke who will torch us. It will be another close one, where I'm leaning toward a very narrow win, but it could very well be a loss. |

Oh well at least it won’t be 4 on 5 on defense.
Now if Lonzo can play aggressive and hit just a few shots, maybe they can grind out a 90-85 type win.

Memphis embarrassed in their last game. They'll try extra hard tonight. Lakers missing their only two shot creators (Thomas/Ingram) and Zo in a major slump. Free Agents to be certainly looking at the future more than the present making hero ball a distinct possibility.
Good game to skip honestly. _________________ Austin Reaves keeps his game tight, like Kobe Bryant on game night. |

I hope Lonzo goes for 30 tonight... although people will just say it was only Memphis like they did went he went off against Phoenix.
Perfect team to have a bounce back game against... hope he can pull it off. |

When Embiid sustains another injury, we will rejoice and mock right back. |

He would have to shoot about 30 3’s to have a chance at that. |

Scoring wont be an issue. If we don't give up 100pts in the paint again we win. |

Westbrook... the basketball genius that couldn't win with both Harden and Durant on his team. |

Another game we should win but we're really shorthanded. |
