My -- they had from the LA times Mike. Underscore resident had don't have a name for this segment like to come up with warrants a sentence and Twitter. Would suggest -- the only public that if refer a lot of things yeah sure I know in a Twitter we're going we're going to Twitter for help these kids on all things I want fascist to start off with. The Portland trailblazers will think outside the Lakers box for a minute I mean you look at their Big Three with Aldridge right and lawless and felt they look pretty good how do you have them. Finishes here you know I had no idea before the season to figure seventh or eighth in the west maybe just out of the playoffs maybe to stay in the playoffs. After last night -- my ears are still ringing from from being up there unbelievable crowd it was like a Super Bowl atmosphere. This team is young and they're fun they they feel like the top sports team in the west for sure. And you know the thing about it we talk about love about their players and they have great players there's no question Wallace obviously can do a lot. You know all these guys are bigger stronger faster but. -- -- -- Big big bill and -- are on a tremendous job getting. Play defense and now playing up tempo I've always been a big fan inundated this coach -- style and his team now as -- basketball to what I love to see it play. -- push the basketball of course they keep keep good pressure. On you defensively and I think they wouldn't Lakers team down in that game at what let's not forget that there is so without Brandon Roy Roy and Greg -- unbelievable I mean it's not in these two guys were even remotely healthy. If you look at the -- of -- at the top team in the west in the got a great home court absolutely yeah. I wanna ask you know Paul Westphal fired in Sacramento. You know Wesley. A former colleague wrote good friend of ours what's going -- DeMarcus Cousins and -- players have too much power did. -- to -- doesn't get him fired. Yeah you know that the NBA is a player driven league I would say the NFL was more the team driven league. You root for teams because that that the life expectancy of the player's career so small the NFL you're rooting for teams. The NBA its players players players DeMarcus Cousins did not like Paul Westphal Paul west polls don't mean let's let's not forget we could go to markets pulled. From a game came back to not reenter the starting lineup not happy. My my favorite part of last night after the game he hugs his new coach Keith Smart like as long lost relative but he found after the game he played great last night to. Well I'm just gonna say there's a little bit of maturity going on sure go out there and poll with poll winner of the nicest guys of all time and I in the holy and I hope. That DeMarcus Cousins was the main reason he was fired you know obviously they they struggle a little bit at the beginning the kings and you know what you struggle norm. Unfortunately it took the coach takes about. Coast does take the heat and I'm I'm sure there -- other things going on because I can't believe it but because of the markets all right we're gonna move on out to a Kobe Bryant -- shots after shots getting shots in the wrist but taking a ton of shots the first Fresno ought to go to you about the report that is out there that the German doctor might be some -- flight over here and a Lear jet. To somehow help with the wrist would hear about. We know my understanding is that surgery that Kobe had on his knee and his ankle over the summer it's more for arthritic joints arthritic tendons that type -- thing. That this is -- a torn ligament I would be surprised I'm no doctor my dad is but I'm not. I'd be surprised if this German doctor could do something on this wrist because it's not an arthritic condition so for now. We see on network would -- -- can tell Kobe Kobe get some rest. You know that's about the ridiculous let's schedule a few resting here that's exactly what I say go get it repaired to take some time off -- -- be very -- couldn't do because. We also called me watch that so many many years if these series not gonna. You know -- you might have to make you hit organization about this they look you have to sit and Mike's been on his feet for. -- years there's no telling Kobe Bryant to sit -- -- -- Got a day off the game -- -- would help him. Don't -- that that realistic expectations for him for it to heal with some of the big one tonight have some sort of surgery that would take months to heal which in this season. Cannot happen also to -- -- compressed season that we don't know about. And everything I've heard is that you know the only way to do this thing is that when the -- so that's I guess that's that's not. All right let's not let's talk about the best player the best big man in basketball is it Andrew Bynum Mike or is it Dwight Howard. You know it's only been four games since the Bynum I am an -- I'm not gonna get on that bandwagon yet. -- guys he would Dwight Howard I wouldn't say Marc Gasol as well be number two at this point and -- really you have to play well on Zach Randolph is out for a month and a half oh. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Yeah you know 22 and a half months of the trade deadline right around march 15 I mean there there's no telling what can happen. And a Laker fans think the magic wanna be wave like it was a few years ago when Kwame Brown. Heard in the -- Gasol there's no guarantee that rate will take place. Who knows what other what are their options Orlando get from the 28 other teams besides the Lakers in early and we just don't know what's gonna happen there's other club will have a Kwame Brown sighting -- here here this team room as well possibly a fumble. Kind of got experience. And out found out how I'm not that I -- out there with the entry passes and hasn't done. The hands of stone let our Steve Blake get a lot of minutes Mike what what do you think communities he. Let's give it kind of take over that -- -- quarter over Derek Fisher you know possibly until last season was very difficult for him he never quite grasp the triangle offense. Yeah the coaches were like he's openly shots why's -- not hitting them almost like a shooting guard last season. He would bring the ball as much as -- as he has in the past it's either today's -- Well you couldn't give -- much better now you know if you remember going back to the old Chicago. John Paxson and he played a similar road you've got to be able to hit that open shots obviously play could. Paramount to a Lakers success because. You've got to have a guy who draw the defense out so that middle opens up more what I think it -- triangle Derek Fisher was perfect because they're fishes it stand up spot up shooter. Just like taxes. Blake is the guy that likes to play with the basketball he's more effective when the more traditional point dog role and I think he will be effective in this system. All right great stuff there might appreciate it thanks very much the extra mile you can read LA solid bridge dot com Twitter. Mike underscore -- to him what I want everywhere whether it be reduced. -- -- a little better than. Because I thought oh no way that if I'm right did they -- accumulate. If it's not tonight I went out on -- you're looking as good.
