We're gonna win tomorrow. I gotta see a win eventually.

Oh, you're attending tommorrow's game? Thanks for the additional lottery balls.

Yeah your gonna watch a win! The tankers are glad your going though

 

[Darkwebs]

What are we doing winning games now?

We want to be 9th place in the West, maybe?

I'd be happy if we have a winning record after the Nate firing. If we make the playoffs then that great, but I hate watching losers play

Checkmate.

Suck it, Nico hatres!

I tell ya, the guy gets no love from the refs. He was getting held and mugged all over the place.

Time to go read all y'all's brilliant game commentary!

Catch you on the flip side.

 

[Darkwebs]

5 rebounds for LMA in 40 minutes of play.

He plays like that in l.a. And we are toast

 

[Nikolokolus]

Some of you guys that want this team to win now, really ought to read "The Art of War" or a nice book on game theory.

 

[RoyToy]

Aldridge is underwhelming

Give me Kevin Lo...

I just can't bring myself to say those words

He still needs to do it every game to be considered a legit 2nd-3rd option for us, and not every few games.

Battle of the bulge.... I say to you "nuts"!

That I agree with

Aldridge needs to stop being a pussy

Last time there was a lockout an 8th seed made the Finals

Get some

Yeah I don't get it man... It's a shorten season. Teams that are good may not necessarily be good in a normal regular season. The playoffs are the normal schedule, so you can rest and play again.

I was really excited by what I saw of Flynn. Now sit his ass before he starts helping us win games and give him a contract in the summer.

I see him playing a little more minutes tomorrow night. Lakers have a real tough time against quick pgs

And then they traded Fisher ...

You think we might be "good?"

We've been getting blown out so much in the past few weeks. This is a bad team with a flawed roster. Getting the 9th/10th seed will hurt actually us.

Baffling to me why someone hasn't stepped in and made up some bullshit injuries for LA yet.

You should look up ny in that lock out yeah and pay attention to Miami. Ny was getting blown out big time and actually was at a worse pace than we were.

They still have Blake. Sessions isn't a good defender either.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I just have one question. If we get to the playoffs and get shellacked by the Thunder (which is not only likely but practically written in stone, given how flawed this team is and the way the playoffs almost always unfold) will anybody look back fondly on this season and say "hey, thank god we got the playoffs and had another one-and-done, vs. two potential top ten picks in deep and talented draft?"

I mean I'm not "upset" that the team won tonight, but it does leave me scratching my head a little bit. If you're going to blow up a team and rebuild then do it right and don't half-ass it.

I will be happy that our team decided to grow a backbone in this adversity and played with pride. And believe it or not, I actually believe we can beat okc in a 7 game series

They aren't blowing the team up. They're "re-tooling" it. Chad said it himself.

Aldridge and Batum are the building blocks (sigh). They're just going to add to it.

Thank you for acknowledging that. Just because Nate was fired and everyone has a Tank avatar does not mean the team is blowing it up by any means.

I have an anti-tank avatar, fyi

Felton being awesome.

It looks like Kaleb just threw a wad of wet toilet paper at him.

Yeah I like watching him with ball. Reminds me a little like Rondo. Very quick, always seems under control with the ball, doesn't look to shoot. Now I want to know if he shoots like Rondo too. He needs more minutes tomorrow. Give Felton a rest on the back to back. Hell don't even make him travel. He earned the night off.
