“but I am not thinking LBJ would want less, ever.” I think this part answered the question.

Man, I have been asking myself the same question, DJ. Could it be a lack of defense? Could 70 be the new 40s and 60 be the new 30s?

Considering Wilt hit 70+ multiple times, it’s not a phenomenon. Just a lot of great scorers in the league.

PS-Heard LaVine out a couple weeks with injury. Nix on those trix! Nay to that hay and no to that snow! As they say in the country hickland.

DLO don’t wanna go bye bye. Nice Game!

It’s been a combination of role players getting injured, the coach consistently not putting together smart lineups, and several key role players not playing as well as expected: DLO, Reaves, Vando, Reddish, Vincent, Hayes, Woods. Can they turn it around? We may find out tomorrow night against the 3-point raining Mavs.

It’s a combination of the injuries to role players and not knowing how the healthy ones will play from game-to-game. You can’t put together a “smart” lineup under those parameters. It’s more of a roster construction issue…

“When all your helpers are inconsistently hurt consistently it’s hard get to real gauge.”
I like the way you put it all together, and you’re right on the money, DJ!!

Hi, DJ!! It is not only you who is baffled. Count me as one of them. At this point, if no trade is made, I am ready to fold my arms and look forward to the offseason. Think about it for a second; we are exactly at the same point as last season at the 40-game mark (19-21). We are currently sitting at 19-21.

There’s this thing called a salary cap. When you make dumb move after dumb move, this is what you should expect from your team. When you pay 47mii to a 20 year vet who can’t carry your team, you need everything else to go perfectly, which it hasn’t. Don’t expect it to get any better as long as the Buss’ are running things.

Nice “0” not so much the “D.” We are winning though. Not sure what to think, no LBJ and AD playing so-so. Is that the key?

Second verse not as bad as the First. Herman & the Hermits.

Lakers just got lucky. Memphis might blow it up a little but we’ll see.

Hi, DJ. Thanks for bringing up the turnover issue. I didn’t realize Reddish had five turnovers. That was very uncharacteristic of him. I watched the game, but I don’t know how I missed that.
