Clippers made a game of it against the Warriors....for about 2 1/2 quarters. They lost 112 - 94.
Boogie Cousins was on the floor for the first time this season and he looked good. He has adapted to the Warriors style and hit three 3 point shots.
I didn't like Cousins when he played for Sacramento - he was always a bit nasty against the Clippers - but have respect for the way he has worked his way back from his achilles injury.
Bitter loss for the Lakers in Houston last night 138-134 as they once again squander a 21 point led and up 18 at the half only to have the Rockets tie the game on the last play of regulation on a desperation 3 that hit nothing but net. OT Rockets get their first lead and hang on to win.
Lakers were making a bunch of 3's but Rockets were making more on over 70 attempts
Lonzo goes down in the first half with a badly rolled left ankle and was unable to walk. Without Lonzo the Lakers lead evaporated in the second half. Even Luke was ejected for arguing with the Ref
Kuzma played a terrific game for the Lakers
Injuries have killed the Lakers in the past 4 weeks
Speaking of losing big, the Lakers have lost Ball for 4-6 weeks. LeBron isn't coming back any time soon and Rondo is still sidelined
Playing the Warriors last night was a comedy to watch as the Warriors now have Cousins in the lineup. They were clicking on every cylinder and Klay Thompson literally shot out the lights in the 3rd period
Lots of terrific teams in the East this year so many will challenge but watching the warriors last night makes me wonder how anyone will beat them

Indeed Steve, it's a nuclear first five, the last of which I recall was the Lakers' Kobe, Malone, Shaq, Payton and Horace Grant. My son said with the fully healthy and mobile Cousins, it's just not fair. Just hand them the title. Major upgrade from Zaza Pachulia or Bogut. The 3-peat is coming.

Celtics will be feeling the megaton nuclear bombs of the Warriors tomorrow. With Cousins in, the Warriors are a different kind of superteam. It makes me forget that they have another warhead off the bench - Igoudala.
Watching the Rockets - Raptors game, and I was surprised to hear the name of Kenneth Faried and actually see him play for the Rockets. He is a big addition to this Rockets team. Rockets has the lead cut to 2 with only a few seconds left
Report: LeBron James' camp wants Lakers to move on from Luke Walton
I just wouldn't die down. Just when I thought Walton will survive this.
"It’s hard to blame Walton for his team’s recent slide because of James’ injury, but, fair or not, it’s likely Walton needed to drastically exceed expectations this year just to keep his job. Maybe James or Johnson already have a replacement in mind, but coaching a team while developing a stable of young player, trying to attract veteran superstars and navigating the perpetually turbulent politics of a team featuring LeBron James might be a less attractive job than some believe. "
first it was klay, then kd, now curry, after having 0 points in the first quarter, sinks 4 straight 3s, warriors by 7. 4 treys is 12 points. how to do fight this kind of team?
good game. c's gave a good fight but just couldn't make the final key shots down the stretch. i saw so much ease in the way the warriors get their points, they make it look so easy, and so quick. that is what makes them even more lethal, as cousins now shoot 3s as well, so you can't leave him open in that area. teams now need to break the banks to assemble a group this potent. and even thinking of AD in the celtics green is not enough to beat them.
