Klintman is now listed as available.  Could be making his career debut tonight.

No wonder Davis is questionable.

Reading the transactions for players on basketball reference can be quite interesting with regard to tracking how many times a draft pick has been moved before it was used on a player.  For example, the pick used to draft Klintman was traded 4 times before it was used to pick Klintman.  Then he was traded about 10 days later.

The duo that should have been if the NBA didn't put in a few lighter ping pong balls that year for SAN.

[Deleterious]

They took and built the lead with Cade on the bench.

[Deleterious]

Harris had nobody within 6 feet of him and he was still 2 feet short on that three point attempt.

[Deleterious]

I think Beasley would bring back a first.

[Deleterious]

Nice end of quarter shot by Ivey.

[Deleterious]

This is the Ivey that makes me want to extend him this summer.

[Deleterious]

That fast break from Cade was fantastic.

[Deleterious]

A more experienced team wins this by 12. But here we are going down to the last second because if some turnover and bad shots.

[Deleterious]

Come on that's not a foul

Challenged and reversed.

[Deleterious]

Up 3 please foul.

[Deleterious]

Really nice win.

[NYLion]

Absolutely horrendous execution down the stretch again, seems to be a common theme even in the wins that they luck out (close wins). Great game before that but then everybody including Cade completely clammed up in the last 3 minutes, this keeps happening when does it end?

It's always fun watching the Lakers lose. Nice to see the team win on a night when Cade was struggling a bit. He still found ways to impact the game, but the bench was phenomenal, especially on the defensive end. Reed with zero points, but 5 stocks. Then again, maybe we should give that 1 pt to him for the technical he drew on AD. Holland with a nice game as well. Beasley doing his thing as well, of course.

As far as when we'll see them stop clenching up during crunch time...when you're the 6th youngest team in the NBA, that's going to happen.

We’re witnessing Cunningham warp into his next dimension.  So fun to see it.  It’s too bad he had a few injuries to plow through in previous seasons.  Hey, better late than never.

The turnovers are still an issue.  And I didn’t like his final shot, I’d have preferred he drove to the basket.  But, he wasn’t exactly getting the calls last night either, so maybe the result is still a missed basket that is rebounded by the Lakers with enough time to get a shot off.

To @Betrayer’s point, they’re still a young team that has to learn this process.
