Ireland being the only one to say they don't like Rondo much. Makes me happy, but also kills me because it's Ireland and he'll be wrong.

At this point, I don't think we can move up to the 3rd spot, and we are safe at 4, so I would say yes, starting tomorrow, we can begin rooting for wins again, no more tanking required.
100% serious. Tanking no longer needed, our job here is done after 2 years. Back to fighting for W's each and every Laker game.
Sounds good.
Feels like a family again.
Go Lakers!

True though, Kellerman said it's a near lock.
Max and Marcellus are actually pretty reliable.
Max called the nash trade, Marcellus had Harbaugh to Michigan 1 month before Schefter reported it.
Rondo :x

Ehhhh I wouldn't consider them as too reliable.
Their reliability is about where Ireland's is in terms of Lakers.

For some reason I'm feeling more and more confident about us getting into the top 2.

But nothing in terms of 'We need to lose this game and especially this game' or 'These guys need to win out' or whatever?

Correct. Al though Philly winning two more games and us losing out world have us splitting the #3 pick odds but that's highly unlikely.
Naw. We are 4, fairly locked in. Unless Philly goes 3-0, it don't matter what we do.
So to jump into the top 3, we need the lottery combo to bounce our way, same as it does every year for the Cavs.
So we might as well hit the gas, and start tryin to learn how to win games again.
Tanking is over with.

Speaking of Family: How do you unblock people?
Hover over their SN, it will bring up options like follow, report, block, etc, it should say unblock or something like that for the ones you've already blocked, click it, and you should be good to go. Might have to refresh the page or whatever, but eventually it will clear up.

A couple of Clarkson related pieces:

http://espn.go.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/12638799/jordan-clarkson-studyWho should Jordan Clarkson study?
We're picking veterans for the top rookies to study to help them develop into more effective players. Here's who the Lakers' Jordan Clarkson should watch:
Rookie: Jordan Clarkson, Lakers
Player to study: Brandon Knight, Suns
Area to study: managing a game while looking to be a scorer
One of the hardest things to do in today's NBA is to manage the game as a point guard while also looking to score, because it isn't enough to do just one or the other anymore. Knight is one of the young guys who is making real progress in this area; he's not at an elite level but he is moving in that direction.
Clarkson, meanwhile, already has a scoring knack and can pass. He just needs to improve in both areas, not just one. The key is being ready to shoot or drive every moment the ball is in your hands, while also reading the defenders off the ball.
Here's an example of Knight at work:
- 10,219
- 1,671
Who should the Lakers send to represent them at the lottery?
I had faith in Worthy being good luck last year

- 10,219

If we're going with someone from this thread, I feel like that should be decided by a poll
