I am sure this will be a busy thread. 
Rudy, OJ and Mike are looking pretty good. Nothing great.
Darko is horrid.
Gasol is doing better than I thought but nothing great.
I like what I see from Darrell Arthur.

| if they just had a good coach, they could probably be successful, but once hubie brown had to retire from his heart problems, the team just tanked from 8th seed to worst team...course it's tough to get coaches when your team's not good too | |

| I thought Arthur was 6'9" or 6'10"? Him and Rudy stood next to each other and Rudy looked as tall if not an inch or so taller. Weird.

| Arthur is a step in the right direction and Gasol isn't horrible but they need some more athletic big men.

You just can't expect essentially a college lineup to beat a Western Conference title contender on the road. | |

it was more of just a statement about the franchise overall; they were pretty good when hubbie was there, he left, & the team immediately went straight to crap after that...like maybe if he could have either stayed or they found a good coach, the team might have been a little better at this point down the road | |
