Lakers game was the only watchable game tonight... We still carrying TNT.


Most of the Laker games on TNT are actually watchable this year...its the crappy games on TWC that are terrible to watch. For some reason they gotta play better on national TV for their upcoming free agency.

No doubt that this experience will definitely help his confidence and overall game. I only wish Tarik could have gotten some action.


Yeah, where was Tarik?


it is so weird with BS. he starts players and then benches them for no reasons at all.
I am not a fan of Ronnie but I do feel bad seeing him sitting on a bench looking sad.

I like the Bulls, but today I hope they get blown out (while Pau scores fifty and logs a quadruple double). I also hope Jimmy Butler gets a taste of what it's like in LA.


Lol. Yep I want Pau to play well and the Lakers to win.

You got your wish.


Yep yep!

Sure this hurts the tank but breaking a 9 game losing streak is always a good thing.

When Jordan Hill plays like this it makes me want to keep him for next season. His development has been excellent and for 9 million a season it might be worth it. He's been the Lakers MVP this season no doubt.

I'm not big on Price either but if BS thinks so high of him why stopped playing him totally?

Same here. Black looked bored and Price looked heartbroken.

I really don't get BS. Just when we thought we figure him out he goes ahead and do the opposite. BS the mysterious man.

I thought Price only fit with Kobe. Clarkson and Lin are point guards that need the ball more. Price could play more of the Fisher role of playing defense and not actually running the offense.

That's what I thought.
Apparently RP has fallen victim to BS's plan to change the lineup every 20 games.

He doesn't want Lin to shine. Less playing time no chance to shine.


Clarkson was playing well. Please stop.


I don't think Scott hates Lin but Lin should have played more minutes. Clarkson could ramp up but this all of a sudden over 40 minutes is insane. I don't even know if that's good for Clarkson's body to play that many minutes already.

Really, Boozer and Davis also should have got more minutes and some run in OT. Scott got really lucky for the win, that OT lineup out there should not have won the game but somehow pulled it off mainly due to big shots by Hill and some by Ellington.

Lin had a pretty good game. 11 points in 26 minutes and a team high 5 assists.


Nice first half, so-so 2nd half. He had 1 ugly turnover in the 2nd half and missed a bunch of layups and shots in the 2nd half. First half he was solid. He didn't play good D on Brooks in the 2nd, but good D on Rose. Lin should play with Davis as much as possible.

Yes. How does Ronnie go from being an essential player and leader and organizing the offense to 3 DNPs? That's just wrong. In a 2 OT game, Byron finds no minutes for him? And where's Black?

Where was Tarik? Why doe Sacre get 2x's the minutes of Ed Davis when he clearly isn't as effective. What game does BS see? Lin and Clarkson as the guards attacking the rim, keeping the defense backing up.

BS probably saw in practice what we have seen Price do in many of the games. BS said recently he wasn't impressed with several players in practice.

Tarik is probably still on the mend from his injury. Maybe BS is being ultra conservative after his guilt complex over his handling of Kobe.

guys, speculating why byron starts or plays certain players and not others won't make a whole lot of sense right now.

he's trying different lineups, giving each lineup a amount of minutes against different competition and in different situations, to help front office evaluate each player and see what they have.

maybe for the last 20 games he'll roll out his final lineup, the one that he thinks can win games (or not, depending on how close we are to the top 5 pick). it's anybody's guess what that lineup will look like.
