Yet I digress ...

"We have the freedom to do almost whatever we want now," he said. "Coach has given me his blessing to push the ball up the court, take the ball off the rim and push it up the court. If they commit to me, I'll kick it. If they don't, I'm coming down the lane. It's a position that I love playing. I love going downhill with the ball, and I hope to continue to play like that."

Nance is starting to look like his dad! I am very impressed with his athleticism.

Rev brought up a good point and the percentage of patient, non-Blame Game, I don't blame Jim Buss types out there are few and far between (not that some of us don't have some opinions along those lines, but whatever). It may take a few seasons, but when the Lakers finally climb out of this hole, others will rejoice with us. Jesus will start posting more and so will kj kirby. Perhaps we can get seagramseven back in here and PurpleNGoldinVegas and Utah, but I'm guessing that they are taking a blogging hiatus from the Lakers during these dark times, which is cool. Diandra is another one with a very high hoops IQ. I actually met her for a drink before a Lakers game last season and she's a bright, cool young lady. These dark times are very rough on most fans and they would prefer to take the Blame Jim Buss, D'Angelo Russell and Julius Randle stink approach, which is all fine and good but goes against the grain of our elitist attitude, if you will.
