The Optimistic Thread! (TRD's FREEDOM THREAD!)

We won a game :)

So this is what it's like when the Lakers win a game, I had almost forgotten

Our offense looked so nice last night. It wasn't JUST Princeton and the PG (Kobe really was the PG most of the night, especially in the 1st half) looked for his. That was a taste pretty much of what we should look like when Nash comes back and is playing aggressively.

The offense was never the problem so much as turnovers were the problem. As time goes on we're going to limit those. I think 15 is still too high and 15 against a bad team probably looks more like 20 against a good team, but the defense was there last night so that helped balance things out.

The bottom line is we got the monkey off our back by beating up on a bad team. That's what we needed to do and we did it. It's something to be happy about.

I can't believe we held someone to 13 points in a quarter. I don't care if it's the lowly Pistons; I'll take it.

alright lakers lets win the remaining games of the season

With Brown continuing to run with nonsensical lineups, his chances of being fired go up exponentially

Keep it up Turd Face

Jerry West said when he was coaching the Lakers and lost his first three reg season games, the team came back and won the next 12 in a row. That team went on to lose in the west conf finals.

Optimistic we'll win games IN SPITE of the Potato.

Go all the way for #17 is a different story.

Every player who played made a field goal even if we did tie (or almost tie) our team record for lowest field goals in a game. Pretty impressive.

at this point it looks like we cannot win in spite of him.

78-4 still a possibility!

Kobe threw down on Al Jeff.

i have nothing to contribute tonight.

Some optimism...

06-07 Suns started 1-5, and finished the season 61-21.

A bad start can always turn into a great finish, but only if your players believe it's possible. I HIGHLY doubt any of the guys in the locker room have faith in Turd Face to turn this team around.

My apologies as I don't have anything to add that is Laker RELATED at this point.

Hopefully the FO is watching the games.

First...



If yes...



Hit my music...



If no...

Thanks for the laugh Doc-- much needed

Jordan Hill is fantastic. He is the type of bench player that every team needs and he is fulfilling that role to perfection.

That's about all I've got. Everything else is 'something could be, but it's not' type of optimism.

I mean, I guess I'd single out MWP a bit as well, he's got some fire and some charge, and you know he means well. But he's playing starter's minutes on bench talent, and it's showing.

lol this thread is full of gems tonight

I really hope he actually gets fired...
