Russell was also the catalyst in the Lakers win over the Pelicans & game MVP...Sadly I didn't get to watch that game but they say D'Angelo Russell is playing a different game so far this year & so far that's what I'm seeing & I like what I'm seeing...Larry Nance was everywhere as well, Brandon Ingram seemed lost at times & was scoreless in the 1st half, had 2 fg. in the 2nd half & missed a wide open 3 for his only attempt... The Croation Zubac plays well under the basket...


The Lakers are finally watchable again! Last year I think my tolerance level was at an all time low. My TV remote just couldn't stay on a Laker broadcast for longer than a 5 min interval, no matter how hard I tried.

Notes from Summer league:

Ingram will be a future Star in the NBA, he has "it"

DLo is starting his official "Unleashed in the West" tour

Zubac looks like he could turn into even a bigger draft steal than Nance or Clarkson. The Lakers just might have scored two lottery picks.

something special

Gotta agree HS, I've tried to watch as much of the Summer League as possible & whenever I looked up Russell or Zubac or Nance were doing special.
Ingram & Zubac were both special in the finale against the Jazz, we got something going on in Lakersland...OH, one more thing or 2, Ingram they say is 18 years old & Zubac 19, futures looking brighter...

You know, I'm retiring from state service next year. Probably in late spring or early summer. I think I'll invest in the MLB package on MLB.com. I won't get the cable package. I spend more time on the laptop than TV these days. 8-)

Dodgers are 4 games ahead. They have 4 guys with 20 or more HR's and another getting close. They could possible have 5 guys hitting 20 HR's or more this season. That's a good lineup. Not many breaks for pitchers up and down the lineup. Just need a healthy Kershaw back if we're gonna make a run in the playoffs.

Just stumbled across a discussion on the MLB channel yesterday titled "How dangerous are the Dodgers with a healthy Kershaw", the consensus= VERY DANGEROUS! Prior to their West Coast trip the Cubs were the odds on National League favorite to go to the World Series, they left Los Angeles
1 win 2 losses & one of those losses was to their Ace & the Dodgers without THEIR Ace, Kershaw...

Go to Lakers.com & check out "The Icebox" or whatever it is, front page & its all about Ingram & Zubac, really good info on our 2 draft picks & this guy also thinks the Lakers scored bigtime on Jiangliang the Lakers signed as a free agent from China & was really high on how well he's playing now since he was the #8 overall pick in the 2008 draft, but the guy he talked about most is Zubac, kept going on & on about Zubac lasting til the 32nd pick...
