    I didn't get to watch the game that closely. I saw DFS didn't really put up any numbers but how did he look defensively?

    The Lakers remind me of 2025 Benihana Steakhouse. Show is the same, now twice as expensive, and the food sucks. LBJ keeps trotting out there like he’s going to make a difference expecting the same calls as 10 years ago.

    It was a strange game. Normally, even when we build a solid lead against the Lakers in the first three quarters, they tend to claw their way back and try to take over in the fourth. Given that we’re notoriously bad at closing games, I went into the fourth quarter biting my nails. But the Lakers’ situation is even worse than ours. They looked like they had completely thrown in the towel. There was no chemistry whatsoever on their side. Anyway, I hope this game marks the beginning of a new winning streak for us. After a really awful week, one good night alone doesn’t give me much hope yet.

    Some of those Tari steals are just pure hustle and I play the same way which is why I have a love hate relationship with him. Amen is just our most steady player honestly and cannot fathom why anyone would be disappointed in him. Lets keep this rolling into next year w/ a new starting line-up.

    Jabari played a good 36 minutes tonight lol. Tari and DFS are taking Okogis minutes, not Jabari’s. Wild take after watching that game tonight.

    Please post videos of the way you play. We need more CFers that play ball and share.

    The Lakers looked very unathletic. They couldn't run with us.

    Jarred Vanderbilt was the only one who tried to play defense on the lakers.

    The Lakers had 20 rebounds? Not in a quarter but the entire game.

    Capela with 6 points and 3 ORebs in 3 mins is pretty nice bench minutes.

    If he had played 36 minutes he would have had 72 points and 36 rebounds.

    When will Ime figure this stuff out?
