I thought we would play like this all season like the last 2 games is why I thought we would be around .500 or better.

Yup - me too! Which is why I estimated 50 wins!!!

Much like our championships, we're winning 'em in bunches!!!

What stinks is Kobe can still obviously play but wont be here next season. A lot of our winning has had to do with him in the last 2.

Lou Williams is not the best player on this team. What a treat it would be to see Kobe have 10 more games out of the final 30 like the last 2.

It seemed like Lou was, Kobe must be taking HGH like Peyton I am just kidding because I think that Peyton story is a travesty/embarrassment by the media and bogus = complete Bullshit but Kobe is eating his Wheaties Lou and Clarky both are Good players but Kobe is a legend.

Much like an old boxer who somehow has the stamina for 12 rounds after a long career, Kobe knows how to go 12 rounds and get better in the later rounds. That's pretty much all there is to it. He's still an old school animated figure though.

Kobe was hitting 3s this game but didn't play as well as the previous one. Not really close.

Anyway.

Russell, Clarkson and Randle starting to all put it together in the same games.

Russell's post ups were really great for a 19 year old. Clarkson is special too. Streaky shooter and bad defender at this point but solid everywhere else and has moments where he is tough to stop.
Once Randle finds different speeds in which to operate, he might be the overall toughest to stop. There are going to be games in his prime where he goes 28/12/7/2/2. He's a force.

And let's be real here. The 38 point performance winning a game down the stretch against a shit opponent wasn't my idea of "vintage" because in his prime, he would have scored 50+ and it would have been a blowout even with these teammates. The Kobe we knew scored at the rim and got to the line and was much more disrutive defensively.

The infants will graduate to toddlers next season. Their growth will be incremental, but it appears that they are out of the crawling phase and are on their now taking baby steps.

I think it is big that Russell and Randle are getting 1 season under their belt. Not only that they see how bad losing is so that would make anyone hungrier moving forward. Looking forward to the Draft and Free Agency.
