What's good cuzzin'? How bout dem Raiders?!!!

Frustrating as FUCK to watch them go up 24-7 then give up 24 points, and have to scratch out yet ANOTHER come from behind, 2-point conversion-completion win. Carr had his pinky dislocated and came back to get the win . . and now Denver came back on KC so we're looking good heading into these last five games. First winning season since 2002 guaranteed, but we still have to play in Denver and KC to clinch a playoff spot.

How bout them Lakers!!!

I spoke too soon - the Chiefs tied it up!

Wow - out-rebounded and out-3-pointed them for the win! The Lakers are a potential playoff team!!

OUCH -- we killed them at the FT line too . . did Luke pay the ref$?

Luke did what I was hoping he would do when Russell and Randle went down, which is to start Thomas Robinson and Calderon and leave the dynamic second unit alone.

HAVING SAID THAT, I defer to Luke Walton. Also, I am not a big fan of the Hawks and even felt that we would beat them for our first road win this season, which we did. I just don't get why they are considered to be a good team. Speaking of TEAM, great effort by the whole TEAM tonight! Everyone chipped in.

9-9 now through 18 games. Nice win tonight! Howard We just swept him. Clarky and Lou as usual doing their thing! Rev, Denver isn't even a factor regarding Football as they have no chance of Repeating without Peyton and I mean 0 chance. Chiefs are Very Good though. People seem to think that it was only Denver's Defense that won the SB last season, that is pure bull shit - lets see them win without Peyton then? I would bet a million dollars on it that they don't Repeat that is how sure I am they wont win. Peyton scared the shit out of Bill Belichick last season in the Title Game, BB was going for it on 4th down, etc. because he knew Peyton was the QB on the opposing team. Nobody fears the duds at QB for Denver now.

I'm one of those people. They just needed a QB to manage the game like Brad JOhnson did with the 2003 Bucs. Remember him?

I will respectively disagree with you. I don't think the Broncos get by the Patriots in the Title Game without Peyton's solid play in that particular game. Peyton didn't play well at all in the SB game and was carried by his Defense there but IMO no way was Brock Osweiler beating the Patriots. Anyway back to the Lakers - Back to .500 and I agree it was a great team effort.

What a baby! Everywhere he has gone he has been a chemistry wrecker and I agree with Ken, the Hawks aren't that good of a team. When it comes Playoff time they always shrink bigtime.

Just watched the 12-minute highlight reel of last night's win, these guys are efficient! When we're back at full strength this is definitely a 35-win team or better and quite possibly an 8th seed for this year's playoffs! Underdogs!

We need Russell back and healthy. If that happens 41-41 isn't out of the question. Luke so far is Coaching his ass off and I love it!

I think the key is to keep the starting five and second unit together and to plug and play when we don't have injuries so as to not disturb continuity, just like Luke did last night. I believe that the starting five will develop better chemistry as the season progresses and that the bench won't have to bail them out as much. The tough part, where Luke has been brilliant, is figuring out who should be on the court to finish games. He seems to have his finger on that pulse as well though. Most teams like to finish games with their starting five or some slight variation thereof, but Luke isn't married to that concept at all. This is a TEAM that doesn't play hero ball (except when Nick Young steals the ball from his own teammate). The players play for each other unlike anything we have seen here in recent history. The fact that a couple of the starters waived off Luke to re-enter the game because the bench was on such a role speaks volumes on many different levels (double cliche intended!).
