Can't even really be happy, just more relieved...really concerned about Ham based on what I'm seeing from him. Gabriel appears to be getting the treatment Bryant got earlier in the season. Despite being productive in limited minutes the playing time gets reduced then DNP CDs.

He sucks all game long and then plays well for 2-3 minutes and rhey forget while he was on the floor our team was outscore by -5 points.
Dennis on the other hand +20
So no, westbrook didnt win us the game. He delayed our win. |
I’m trying to figure out where anybody said that he had a good game. I said that he had a good overtime.
He was abysmal the rest of the game |
where is the outrage at brons 5 TO's and lame D? Same with AD. Lets be balanced. |
LeBron is playing hurt and it’s obvious
Anthony Davis has missed over 20 games. He’s just played a couple on his way back.
Westbrook’s been here the whole time, and he is consistently bad at an opportune moments. He deserves all of the flack he gets. |
The problem is we don't have a closer. in theory that should be bron but its not.
Ideally we take russ out with about 5min left but bron is so gassed or uninterested in running sets that Ham needs someone with pace. |
I mean LeBron has closed plenty of high leverage games on the way to four championships and six additional finals. If the Lakers provided him with actual spacing he would be fine. Instead the Lakers have shaky shooters and Russell Westbrook who nobody guards down the stretch. As a result opposing teams clog the paint, take away driving lanes, ruin the LeBron-AD pick and roll, and make it very difficult to post either AD or LeBron.
As long as Westbrook is in basically the only sound play to run down the stretch is a Westbrook-AD side pick and roll but I’d much rather bench him and run any number of better options down the stretch.

No - you can't cut a dude in half - You live with the good and the bad. Have any of you ever played ball?. There's ups and downs. Darvin has to live (as well as the rest of us have to live with both). It's DH's job to see how it's going and coach accordingly. But the vibe of most of these LG posters are so negative and down on ole boy - you'd never see any good things the admittedly flawed player does. YOU CAN'T ROOT FOR HALF OF THE GUY - IF HE F'S UP WE F UP -- THAT'S WHAT BEING A TEAMMATE IS - THAT'S WHAT BEING A TRUE FAN IS TOO!

Horrible how Wenyen is getting doghoused so consistently when he’s been consistently great!
Especially watching how Hartenstein tonight out hustling our squad made me even more furious Darvin wouldn’t give Wenyen a chance |

Do it then...that blind homer optimism is needed, and has value. Not mad at cha even if ya mad at me...cause I'm calling out bs on them when I see it.

| Don’t see why we can’t win out on this road trip, this game was the type of gutsy win that can help us turn the tide, we just have to hope the team actually doesn’t have these type of W’s only for them to lose 2-3 games in a roll |

We can somewhat end the worries that Rui won’t turn out like Kuzma lololol
Never seen Kuz with that type of rim protection in the clutch and also not too many empty possessions with Rui on the offensive end.
Solid pickup!!! |

I know you understand what I mean. Of course I'm happy for the win but I want more and the concerns I see make me wonder if I'll get them.
I've had this past time for 42 years as a Laker fan...too late to change now but I've actually thought about what you suggested. Are you even that old? Doesn't matter, age, you could still be a better or worse fan...I've been at it a long time tho, learned a few things over the years.

Knicks were 27-24 for a reason.
They’ve had some big wins including smacking the celtics in a nail bitter.
Well technically we smacked them too but I’m gonna stop talking about it I promise lol |

Then you were here for the bubble chip, both pau and kb chips, the shaq daddy and young kb 3pack of chips and perhaps some of the og chips magic and cap flavored. We have been blessed my dude (unlike the Flippers and most other franchises). Russ is not the first Russ -- Kuz used to be Russ and many more came before them - lol. It all works out in the end. Not singling you out - just noticing a lot more negativity than I used to see on LG. Enjoy the win and open a six pack baby - lol

Governator - Knicks aren’t a contender yet but there a a legit playoff team so I consider this W a quality 1 the thing is that this team might still end up dropping like 2 games in a roll after this Impressive win
