I'd feel better if one of their 7 wins was against a playoff team.
Have to at least feel good about Chandler, seems to have life this year.
fake edit- Rondo is proving himself to be the least clutch human being on earth hahahah
Easy to say that after you win. Lakers problem last night was defense not Kobe shooting too much.
The lack of another guy who can consistently create his own shot is the second biggest problem for the team right now. Young would improve the starters efficiency and Scott is an idiot if he doesn't start

Nuggets kicked our butts tonight.
But hey...some games will be like that. Plenty of good looks; just couldn't seem to find the bottom enough. And we don't play good enough defense to stop anyone at all (yet).
I do hope they get that Timberwolves SG. he'd really shore up that awful defensive backcourt.

One step forward two steps back.
If we somehow trade for one or two 3-and-D guys, then maybe. Every good West team has at least one or two strong wing players, and I don't think we have enough good perimeter defenders to try to keep them in check. Offensively though, I think we can tear apart a lot of teams.
Agree with your points, their defense was very poor last night, they couldn't handle the Warriors pace. Jordan Hill/Boozer combination couldn't handle inside (Bogut) or out (Speights). The spacing Green/Barnes/Klay/Curry/Iggy made it extremely difficult to guard.
Lakers also need a three point threat cause they got mauled there last night
Corey Brewer. Supposedly Cavs and Rockets are going for him.
Ahhh alright yeah he's a good pickup if that's the case.
Would be pretty cool if the Rockets got him though....

cooler if the cavs got him! we reallllllly need help defensively at the SG position. Like...it's bad.

Jimmy Jordan!!
You'll be disappointed once you get him. He hustles and works hard on D, but constantly gambles and cheats off his man, causing him to get beat and torched fairly regularly. He'd be a good defender if he was disciplined, but I imagine people have been telling him that for years. It hasnt changed him on the offense or defensive end at all. The only conclusion that I can come to is he is simply not that bright.

Looks like pointless fancy dribbling to me

Some dumbass on ESPN just said that if things don't get better (they won't) the Lakers might look to make a trade....for who? What kind of analysis is this? Who could they conceivably trade for? They have almost literally ZERO assets. No picks. No young chips. Nothing. I challenge anyone to come up with a reasonably realistic trade scenario for the Lakers this season that would make sense. It's impossible.

I think there are more Bulls fans than Clip fans at this game in LA. It's loud as hell when Griffin bricks his free throws.
Jordan Hill to a contender for a shooter and wing defender?

Except the part where Deron did a 360 and Bazz became wide open.
Really though in context it is kind of an awkward play defensively that causes the confusion. But if you just go in with a clear head and think 'defenders going in circles'. It is pretty funny.
I hate Shabazz, I'm a UK fan and I can enjoy it. I still hate you Napier.

I think the Bulls are far from playing their best basketball between injuries, rookies, and new guys all trying to figure out how to play together.
That looked like Deron and KG getting confused, not Shabazz making them confused

Why would a contender give up a shooter or wing defender for Jordan Hill's expiring contract? Shooters and wing defenders are more valuable than hustle bigs in the league these days. A lot more valuable.
Nash's expirer for any live bodies on short contracts?

It's really disgusting how much flopping the clippers still get away with. Ridiculous. Bulls would be up 30 if 12/13 calls in the fourth didn't go the clippers way.

Expiring's don't carry as much value anymore, at least not alone. There is a ton of expiring money around the NBA.

Definitely something for Rondo. Give them Randle, Lin, picks, and work from there.
I know, Boston probably wouldn't go for it, but it's the best i've got. lol
Maybe if Randle's leg didn't just break with no contact and he was producing. Also, if we had any picks lol

Lakers can't trade any picks, at least any time soon I believe, because they gave 2 of the next 4 to Phoenix and you can't trade consecutive picks. Randle is the only thing you can consider an "asset" and he's out for the year.

Well without the picks, yeah, you're fucked.
Came to post the great 4th quarter, but I see it has been done!

Short of LeBron (which was a pipe dream) striking out in FA was the best thing that could have happened. I'd hate to have Melo or Lance on this team on long term deals.
