    Young team still adjusting to the NBA, although Nick Young and Calderone's injuries are a bummer.

    Man, they are w/o more than just Young and Calderon.
    Also no DLo, no Nance, no Zubac.
    This next game against the Rockets isn't gonna be any easier, I expected them to win enough games with that D'antoni uptempo shit and they're off to a good start, might be another L. smh

    This is a rough part of their schedule, even without the injuries. I think they also play the Spurs? I didn't think they'd come out of this stretch .500.

    Like that we are at least moving upward.

    Only thing that is disappointing to me is that we didn't need deng or mozgov at all in my eyes.

    Moz is a body I guess but pretty much has been what he's always been. 20 mpg and just there.

    Deng looks 45. he has been an awful signing so far. and to think we got years left with these guys who aren't gonna get any better sucks a bit.

    Other than an occasional corner 3 pointer, yeah, pretty useless.

    Guilty as charged in that respect.
    But I still have faith in 'Antoni's ability to run his starters into the ground and choke in the playoffs.

    Lakers should offer up Deng to the Wolves for Ricky Rubio who is no longer in their plans since they drafted Kris Dunn.
    Sure Rubio was a key piece of their teams future as recently as last year but with coach Thibs that has changed.
    Rubio sucks in that system. He would be really nice in ours.
    Would allow Russell to rest his knee until he is truly healed.
    And give the team flexibility if they want to package Russell to bring in a superstar in the future.
    The team is already filled with guards though.
    IMO its time we make Clarkson a SF on this team.
    Ingram moves to play more PF in the future as he gets stronger.
    And our current PF's Nance and Randle will be playing a lot more center.

    Rubio
    Russell
    Clarkson
    Ingram
    Randle

    Go small with the starters and big with the bench.

    Williams
    Young
    Nance
    Black
    Mozgov

    I know you're a moz lover but the guy is basically a body
    what impact has he really had defensively? would have rather had biz still. limited offensively but we don't need o, we need d.

    But keep thinking a guy that starts the 1st and second halves and that's it, is worth that cash. btw does this guy ever even block a shot?

    He is who we thought he was. Not sure what you're seeing out there, but he's an 8 and 4 guy.

    Big guy though, I'll give ya that.

    Been very disappointed as Mozgov the rim protector. Lakers need a shot blocker to cover up for their lack of defense at the guard position.

    Wow. Defense is horrible tonight.

    Too many guys on this team can't shoot. Need to shoot better to spread the floor.

    3 of the 5 losses have pretty much been heart breakers
    Might mess around and lose to the Knicks tomorrow as well, which would be another heart breaker no matter the score
