Like I said in the podcast, too much needless angst over the second half. Yes, it would be nice to win by 30 but you can’t expect a team to be as focused when they have a monster lead like that. This is the NBA and teams don’t win games by 60 points for a reason. There’s no point in keeping your foot on the gas for 48 minutes. It wastes energy and risks injury. Like I told Gerald, game was over at halftime. We should just call the game and do the podcast then. Second half didn’t matter so why waste time even discussing it. Great dominating defensive win by the Lakers. Period.
One thing not covered by the discussion of the top five teams was where the Clippers, Nets, Bucks, and Sixers ranked defensively compared to the Lakers. Lakers first at 103.6. Clippers 16th at 109.6. Bucks 8th at 108.4. Nets 25th at 111.8. Sixers 6th at 106.3. Defense wins championships. Of course, it’s still early and the sample size is small and trades could change things but the Lakers will play their 18th game on Monday against the Cavs, which will mark the 1/4th point of the season.
The Lakers have not even gotten close to optimizing all of their weapons. AD and LeBron both have another entire gear or two they can go to and the defense is just now starting to jell. I believe Lakers are going to separate themselves from the pack in the next quarter or 18 games of the season and extend their lead over the pack. Defense wins championships and the Lakers defense has lots of room to get even better. Lakers are in a tier all by themselves.

Next 3 Wins Could Put Nuggets & Rockets in Lakers’ Rearview Mirror
Starting as the #6 seed, the Los Angeles Lakers have won 4 straight games in a row and 7 of their last 8 to leapfrog the #5 Denver Nuggets and #4 Houston Rockets and take over the #3 seed in the West by a half game.

5 Things: Finding Some Grit
65 games in and the team is starting to look a little sterner, little grittier. One of the ugliest first halves I’ve seen since the 90’s man. The win was one of the more impressive of the season, in my opinion. 1) Luka finding solace on the court. Sounds like his personal life has been […]

Man, I’m still not comfortable talking about Kobe and that tragic helicopter crash that killed him, Gigi, and seven others. Just thinking about it makes my eyes water.
Like Kobe, I was on my way to coaching one of my granddaughter’s basketball games when it happened. Both granddaughters wear 24 in honor of Kobe and all I could think of that day was Gigi and how tough it was going to be for Vanessa and his other two daughters.
RIP, Mamba. The Lakes are and will always be your team.
