Happy Thanksgiving, Lakerholics. Great win for the Lakers and LeBron and great podcast from Gerald, Lee, and me. Give it a listen when you make room before or after gorging on all of the good Thanksgiving treats. I think you’ll enjoy the banter. Gerald, Lee, and I had a great time.
Good to be able to enjoy the Lakers at least finishing 2-3 so I didn’t have to join Jamie and Gerald in a Lakers’ hatefest podcast. Lakers slowly but surely finding ways to win. LeBron at the 5 and Monk and Wayne raining threes off the bench. Pacers played a great game, as everybody does against the purple and gold, but LeBron rained the threes in OT and the Lakers get to enjoy turkey day with at least a .500 record and home for the holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, Tom. Sorry, I have been away for a while and did not watch the games since the Timberwolves game. I have been following the blog though, to gauge the progress of the team and so far they are about where I expect them to be after the first 20 games of the season, 10-10 to be exact, and that’s Inline with my lowered expectations. I am beginning to sense the team getting emboldened by the downturns and adversity, which in turn is creating a sense of urgency and resilience. After every heartbreaking loss, they seem to come back determined to go at it again, and after every hard-fought victory, they seem to taste the sweetness of victory. All of this amounts to the ingredients needed for a team with championship aspirations to keep pushing on and ultimately
adopt the right chemistry. I would like to thank all of you including Jamie, Michael, John, DJ, and everybody for your contributions here. By the way, is Sean okay? I have not heard from him here in a while.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Buba. And thanks for all of the great contributions you’ve made to the blog and our community. If you’re ever visiting Northern California, please let me know so we can meet in person.
I’m scheduled for a right shoulder replacement on Jan 19. Was having a hard time deciding if I wanted to go through with after hearing from you and some others who had had the surgery. Decided the pain would only get worse so I’ll just have to live with the short term pain to get rid of the pain down the road.
How is your recovery going? How long since your surgery? Drop me an email with an update. Thanks.
Thanks, Tom. Visiting Northern California is in my plans and meeting you and my fellow Lakers fans is going to be a priority. Can’t wait for that to happen.
I would encourage you to go ahead with the surgery as it is the only way to get rid of the pain once and for all. Trust me, I have used the cortisone injection repeatedly but that’s just temporary and not for the long term. I am progressing well in my recovery and I am scheduled to see the doctor on the 30th of this month for evaluation. I will email you and share more information about this.
January 19th is not that far off, so hold on to the pain for now. Wish it was sooner.
Thanks, Buba. Love to have you and your family visit us in the Bay Area if you’re ever here. I’ve always had a problem of just living with the pain rather than having anything done, even physical therapy. Just figure it’s only going to get worse. Glad to hear you’re doing well. Just what I needed to hear, man. Thanks.
