Lonzo played a Great game too with the 16 Points, 9 Rebounds, and 4 Rebounds but Corey Brewer was the shocker with 21 huge Points!

This is a huuuuuge win for a young team trying to solidify their identity and confidence!!!

Yes it is, very big win! I didn't expect it. What an effort against a team that hasn't lost in nearly a month.

Luke had the match ups figured out tonight. I don't care what Bogut's numbers were. He played great. Randle? Surprised that he wasn't a big part of the game plan and who knew he'd be picking splinters out of his ass with Lopez out, but that's why Luke is paid the big bucks. Kuzma and Brewer though! Lonzo, another solid game despite some turnovers. Ariza played Ingram tough, but Brandon never quit. Nance was impressive, too. Despite his -24, Josh Hart played well and is 2-0 as a starter.

BTW, I don't post until late on these early games because I'm recording most of them this season. Feel good win, brethren!

MVP888, I just can't stomach losing. The Lakers really need to lower their expectations for now but of course they won't. Instant gratification!! They will get there I get that. Glad I don't get the televised games in this part of the word where I'm now. So, I am gonna let them develop.

Moos, your thoughts.

I blame this win on Luke. Kuzma, you are no longer an underground secret. Whoever pulled the trigger on him made the best late-first-round pick in ages. Time to put some wins together.

I figured out the secret to winning. We are undefeated when Andrew Bogut starts, keep him starting! Also the Lakers FO should get FO of the Year for drafting Kyle Kuzma, this dude is for real! To get him at 27 was perhaps the biggest steal ever if he continues to play like this. If the media re-done the Draft today, he would go Top 5.

Yet the Houston announcers were complaining that Harden wasn't getting whistles last night!

Randle: 8 minutes. Thoughts?

Strange considering Lopez was out. I have feeling we are going to trade him. Whether it's right or wrong is another debate but why he is tradable is because we have Kuzma. Kuzma plays the same position and is simply the better player as a rookie.

I believe he's going to be traded soon. I'll bet dollors to doughnuts there's a trade that will be finalized this week. We'll get an expiring contract shooter with Bird rights and a draft pick, perhaps a first, except that Randles RFA status causes a problem valuation-wise. Who knows, maybe something bigger is brewing, like for Paul George, Demarcus Cousins or (dare I say it) Anthony Davis. For reasons that escape me, Julius Randle is not in Magic and Rob's field of vision. I don't get it. It wasn't just last night; it's his limited minutes all season despite beasting out and showing tremendous growth. Some team is going to get very lucky and this could bite us in the ass.

All due respect to Julius -- he'll prove his worth with any team he plays for, like D'Angelo. He's a Rambis. But if losing him means getting Davis or another great big, then *pound pound* and peace to ya player
