What a block by Julius Randle!!

LAKERS WIN!!

Lakers 112
Magic 95

Man, do the Magic have issues or what? Actually, I'm surprised that Vogel has them at 16-23. Another outstanding performance by Brandon Ingram! The light bulb appears to be going on. Russell and Randle are gaining more and more confidence as well. It is clear that they are beginning to understand the NBA game. The future is bright and we're on pace to win 30 games, although I think we might get a couple more than that if the progression trajectory continues and we stay healthy. I think we're more like the 10-10 Lakers who began the season than the 5-16 Lakers over the second quarter of the season.

Yeah Ingram is figuring it out, it's a matter of time before he really starts to explode. Russell, Randle, and Ingram all played Good in this one! 15-26 halfway through puts on pace to win 30. We only won 17 last season, a 13 game improvement if we do so is showing bigtime progression especially considering we don't even have a Superstar yet.

I believe that Russell, Randle and Ingram all have all-star potential. LeBron and the Warriors need to get older before anyone can compete with them anyway, so a 3-5 year window for our guys is about right. By then, the Lakers, Wolves, Bucks, Sixers and (dare I say it) the Celtics could all be elite teams.

Yeah it is the Warriors and Cavs world for at least 2 more seasons I agree. After that the young teams now will start to blossom. I think unfortunately the Celtics are already Good but not on the Cavs level so as of now it doesn't matter. I am surprised the Wolves aren't better this season. I had them making the Playoffs this season. I wonder if Thibbs is the right for fit for Wiggins and Towns? Anyway if we do win 30 or so this season and do well in Free Agency, I can see us fighting for a Playoff spot next season with Russell, Randle, and Ingram with another year under their belt.
