MDA & Pau can leave A.S.A.P.

Yeah, but we we're still losing until he left the floor.
The group that got us the lead stayed on. You bring Meeks in you run the chance of messing up the mojo that was going on with that second unit.
Also the injury curse is too strong for Meeks to play extended minutes.

No need for Kelly to be in there, they don't have Cousins tonight, there playing small too. This is why D'Antoni needs to go |
Yeah, should've put MarShon at the 4 and play Jodie at the 3. Let all the players who have the hot hand get on the court! |

now if we can play the Kings every night.. |
We shot 70% from 3 compared to 33% for the Kings, and still just barely won.
We got outrebounded 31 to 44. |
The Kings played their rear ends off. We were down at least 12 in the second half.
When we play with energy and run and hit threes, we can compete. Otherwise, we won't win many. Same as the start of the year, with just maybe less talent (Nash, Blake). Although I'm not sleeping on Baze and Brooks, at all.
We're more athletic than at the start of the year, so that helps.
HUGE win. That was fun! |

Really bad loss tonight. If Cousins played we probably would've got the win. Or maybe not, it seems pretty clear that teams like the Kings and Celtics play no D AT ALL in the fourth quarter. I gotta give them credit for that, they show such a strong desire to have a good future. Lakers on the other hand seem to be doing their best to have a bad future. Well at least we got a VERY VERY VERY good schedule coming up and we should be able to reclaim the 4 seed. 7 of the next 8 are really good teams.
Cheers to championships being more important than winning 25 games in 2014. |

I'm thinking Randle would be taken with the 5th pick But the gap between 4 and 5 certainly is massive. By far the biggest drop off in talent. 1-3 are all legit number 1 overall picks in almost any draft. Exum is a legit number 2 pick in most drafts. After that everything is a big gamble. Probably 2 or 3 time all stars rather than superstars, but you never know, there might be one superstar between 5-10. |

Pau Gasol on LAL hitting so many 3's (19) without so many attempts (27): "70 percent is outrageous."
This vine is amazing.Sacre admiring Bazemore’s HR in the middle of this one. @zacgmurray RT @Lakers: https://vine.co/v/MKIlH50VOP2

| I know, I know, wins hurt our draft, but I don't care. This game was fun to watch. Been a while. We've got plenty of games we are going to lose in the future. |

That is how you barely beat bottom feeder teams and if you are lucky... get swept in the playoffs against any decent team.

Meaningless victory. 
And with the 14th draft pick, the LA Lakers select Jusuf Nurkic!  |
