Good to see Tobias Harris getting back on track after dealing with a bad ankle injury for most of last season. 25/8 tonight.

8 3-point attempts from the Lakers so far. Right on schedule, Coach Scott.

Rockets are way too reliant on Harden to create offense. That's not sustainable.

Maybe not, but they are trouncing the Lakers by 25 right now.

There was just a little situation in Los Angeles. A scuffle between the Mamba and Superman.

And Sacre is in! (I love this video & not just cause it samples the classic disco tune Gotta Go Home by Boney M, but because Sacre has the craziest cheers I've ever seen.)

That's what Bryant gets if he wants to lead with his face. :lol:

And Randle's down, grabbing his right ankle area.....

The Lakers are a dumpster fire.

Fuck, I hate to see that - poor kid's just getting started. I know Randle has plenty of hardware in his ankles - I really hope for the best for him.

And it's hard to make that post without a reference to a position I've made clear many times before. So I apologize if such a reference irritates you.
Alright Inf. Re-signing a free agent or signing a player to an extension is always a unique situation. But if we can't compare the salaries of players at the same position, at the same age, putting up similar numbers at the same stages in their career, then maybe we are going to far down the rabbit hole of "analysis." That just seems like a logical thing to do to me.
Go Suns!

OMG. He's being pulled out on a stretcher. That is horrid. In his first professional game. They're saying likely broken leg? He's only 19-years-old.

Broken leg for Randle. Oof. Tough blow.

Not sure if this helps or hurts our pick.

I didn't watch the whole game, but I don't see how this laker team finishes anywhere but last in the west. They're awful and I don't think we're getting that pick

If we didn't have 30 small forwards, I'd love to trade for Mo Harkless. DNP-CD today.

Even if they are last in the West, we still can count on at least a couple teams in the East to be worse. If they have the 4th/5th worst record, either they win the lotery or get leapfrogged as it is unusual that the bottom 3 records goes 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the lottery. On the other hand, going 3rd/4th to Jersey, would likely will mean to them keeping their pick.

I would like to trade high on that pick while it still has uncertainty (potential) written all over it and get rid of the drama. A healthy Horford would be worth it.

Foot injury, I believe.
