with all the stuff going on right now, my Raiders are kicking a** and Dodgers' playoff run, i kind of lost interests in what's going on with the Lakers in preseason. when we first hired Luke Walton, i thought we would be in full youth movement, what's going on with playing Lou Williams, Nick Young all these minutes? why not throw Ingram into starting lineup and see what the kid can do, at least that'd have me some what interested.

I have many reasons why I haven't been this excited for a minute: D'ice, Slim, Randle, JC, Nancy, Zubac. I love this squad. The journey just started.

sometimes you need to protect your young players from getting killed. You play the vets more so they can take the bullet. Then you stagger in your younger players as their momentum and confidence builds. That's what I'm thinking Luke might be doing.

But remember that its only preseason and good thing is we don't have someone like Byron killing their confidence in media, practice and in games.

Just them rotating much more on D and helping the helper has made me happy. They were a sloppy mess last few years. Good things are starting to happen.

I don't know. I'm feeling quite the opposite. I'm loving watching this team play. I've even enjoyed how Nick and Lou have been playing lately. It's been fun and I can't wait to watch this team grow.

It's been said that they're slowly implementing the offense.

Watch some of the film room videos. You might learn a thing or two about this team and the game in general.

So everything was supposed to happen instantaneously? OK then.

It's been clear during this preseason that people have been saying out of their mouth (keyboard) that they understand that we are in a rebuild, but really on the soul level they do not understand that we are in a rebuild.

Spoilers: Dodgers will get their ass handed to them by the Cubs in 5 games and the Raiders won't win a superbowl in the next 5 years. Plus Baseball is boring as hell.

It's kind of odd for you to suddenly not be interested in the Lakers NOW when the team is looking very up now instead of say...the past 3 years?

I will admit that I am annoyed with Lou in the starting lineup. But that is it! The offense is light years better than last year, they are playing cohesive D, or at least trying to and the young players are improving every game.

I haven't been this excited about the team since we acquired Pau Gasol.
