    Harden for Aldridge sounds about right.

    Lakers' starting unit, even when healthy, is too old and slow. DAL ran them to the ground last night. Maybe their getting Nash and Howard will do the rest of the West good. Fingers crossed

    Lakers getting blown out. I'd be jumping in joy if a little part of me weren't feeling bad for Nash right now.

    Including the preseason and going back to their last playoff series, the Lakers are now 1-14 in their last 15 games. How does that feel, Laker fans?

    Dwight Howard with a monster 33 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists. Lakers still lose by 10, and it was even more of a blowout than that looks like.

    Enjoy this while it lasts but don't write them off yet. At some point during the season the Lakers will figure things out and go on a roll. They have to somehow improve their bench. Lastly, Nash and Kobe both must be fully healthy during the playoffs for them to make a serious run.

    Even with the wonderful offseason, they don't have much margin for error. I'm not yet convinced they will end up better than OKC, even after the Harden trade.

    Hope Nash is going to be OK....

    W/ that said how can you beat down the Lakers one night and get killed by the Jazz the next. Reason why is everyone gets pumped to play LA.

    Mike Brown should be super fired.

    Called DAL loss today, gonna make another call.

    Lakers win Frid, w/ less than 15 TO. Hill gets a double double

    I thought his free throw percentage is supposed to suck. He hit 15/19 tonight.

    The Lakers are bad. They can't guard anyone and their offense doesn't work to their strengths.

    This roster probably would win 75 games if it was 5 years ago.

    I like Nash, but not enough to make me not hate the Lakers. I only watch Rockets and Lakers on League Pass just so I can watch Lakers lose :)

    Lakers are 6-24 in their last 30 visits to Portland. They weren't gonna win tonight

    Despite how bad it seems, Lakers will probably rally back from their first 10 dismal games and make a push to the 2nd round of the playoffs like they do almost every year.

    Howard and Kobe are the two best players on the team. Both are shooting the ball efficiently. Problem was Dwight missed too many FTs last night and Kobe committed too many turnovers tonight (7). Both are fixable issues
