Went to LA versus Memphis

Son's Christmas present. Interesting game. LA just does not play defense. Dwight Howard is slow. Jordan is even slower. Can't believe how those two have aged.

Speaking of which. Russell? OMG. He's worse in person. Horrible shooting. He's guessing when he throws shots up. Awful defense. Just ugly. Le Bron, much as I hate him as a person, is carrying this team and LA is wasting probably his last good year. Yes, I think Davis is a tin man and a fraud.

Lakers are screwed. Hope that 2020 trophy keeps them warm awhile.

And yeah, the place is now officially the Crypt They think it's cool to call it that. But it's a morgue. I am telling you. Dead.

It is now a Trojan Town, except for those Dodgers.

Doesn’t sound like a very good Christmas present to your son. What a miserable way to spend an evening.

Replying to

He had a broken foot. Playing BB the night before he came home. Pretty limited entertainment options. It was a pretty sorry game. Laker subs came on and made it a 4 point game at the end. Game looked closer than it was. Ja Morant cam jump. Son thinks he's a poor man's Harden. Drives lane and flops a lot. Skinny guy. I like him a lot. Austin Reaves was on fire. But Westbrook was such a brick. OMG people were screaming "don't shoot" He's also slowed way down and thickened up. Too many good restaurants. Man I wish they'd drafted Fox. Love that kid. Lakers had won 4 in a row and were starting to look good. Not that night. Still, good to spend time and do something w him. We ate at Tommy's beforehand. Was either going to be there or the Pantry.

The Crypt is hilarious. Very appropriate.

LeBum is killing the Lakers brand.
