Last night's Kings - Warriors game was a thriller. Kings came back from 20 points down and beat the Warriors with a last few seconds acrobatic shot by Malik Monk. Kings are a solid team.

Malik Monk was another Laker favorite of mine from last year. He has a great shot and was sorry the Lakers didn't have the money to extend his contract......so many lost Lakers who are great elsewhere....all because the Lakers play every year that they have to win now and will sacrifice their young draft picks

Watching the past few Lkers games I am really happy the Lakers did keep D'Angelo Russell. When he was their first draft c=hoice , he had talent but was immature and a lot of locker room junk that resulted in them getting rid of him for Lonzo . Well Lonzo is gone and D'Angelo is back. He has gained poise and maturity and has become a real leader this year....plus he has a deadly 3 shot

NBA In-Season Tournament Tracker: Lakers win NBA Cup | NBA.com
The inaugural In-Season Tournament championship game is set after the Los Angeles Lakers and Indiana Pacers advanced on Thursday.
Lakers who went 4-0 have a reality check as they face the wild card surging Suns. This will be a reality check for the Lakers I’d be shocked if they win this one

Just some morning magic from the Magic who crushed Washington last night to win their 8th straight and are sitting a game behind the Celtics. Never thought I would see this but the Magic are my Cinderella team this tyear

But for $3.5B ....enough for even Cuban to move on. Heck Ballmer got away cheap buying the Clippers at $2B

Im betting that Harden and Westbrook are wishing they were back on the OKC team as it was just another night for the ordinary Lakers who got thumped once again by a top tier team.......
Final Lakers 110 OKC 133
It's all bout drat choice s and fresh blood in a young team. Gilgeous-Alexander will be MVP one dy. He's that good. Lakers still have many injuries but I'm tired of making excuses. They must be planning a repeat of last year at the end of the season because so far they are mediocre at best.They continue to e a .500 team and I just think the league is so good that a .500 team might not even make it to the Play In round. It's not Darwin Ham as I think he's doing the best they can under the circumstances. you can
t build a championship team around a 39 year old, oldest player in the league and expect miracles. LeBron is the only one carrying the team.
As for the Ibn Season tournament Lakers are 4-0 but their day of recognizing comes this week the they play the wild card SUNS. Their bubble will burst quickly
IS GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER PROVING TO BE UNGUARDABLE

With Murray back, Denver has become the team we knew last year when they won it all and are back in 2nd with the Wolves still number one
Memphis is mired deep at the bottom but Ja Morant will return in another few games and it will be interesting to see if they can recover
Looking at the standings daily proves that youth, speed, and draft choices fuels these previous bottom dwellers so for me it is not unthinkable that one of these upstart teams will go the distance and take home the Larry O'Brien Trophy

The Lakers don't seem to be the only LA team suffering from "win now" impatience. We have to remember that it was SGA that was the center piece for the Clippers trade to OKC for PG13. I guess if you are a city with an entertainment culture geared towards star power and A-lists you will end up acquiring players close or at their peak of popularity. That leaves you really with a win now or bust scenario knowing these windows are a LOT smaller. At least for the Lakers it did pay off once. Too bad it had to be in the bubble.
My observation so far is that these stars in their 30s don't have the will to chase the young uns around. Only the playoffs will show if this is only because they are saving their bodies and energy for the same or if they simply can't match rocket fuel with regular unleaded. LOL

My son alerted me on this NFL type tackle and take down by Draymond Green on a smaller Terence Mann. He's got it all, the non basketball moves.
The Nets have a 22 point lead over the Magic at the half. If the Magic can overcome this, they are really something to watch out for.
