"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -- Oscar Wilde

"BLUE" JIMMY:  If the object of the game of basketball was to put the big orange ball in the basket as few times as possible, The Los Angeles Lakers would be World Champions!

BLIND DOG OZZY:  WTF?  That's your blog entry for today?

"BLUE" JIMMY:  I'm trying to look at the bright side of life!  What else are you gonna say about a team that came out last night (Tues. Nov. 24, 2015 ) against the World Champion Golden State Warriors, showed no guts or competitive spirit (Kobe Bryant, 4 points!) and got blown out by 34 points, allowing Golden State to be the first team in NBA history to win 16 games in a row to start the season?!

BLIND DOG OZZY:  Hey, at least The Lakers were part of NBA history!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  That's the spirit!

BLIND DOG OZZY:  I still feel like s**t!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Sake's Alive!

BLIND DOG OZZY:  Wow!  Wow!

LAKERS AREN'T THE WORST TEAM IN THE NBA! ... AT LEAST

"BLUE" JIMMY:  You know your season is going bad when 10 games in, people are already talking about next year --  "Is Kobe going to retire NEXT YEAR? ... Who can The Lakers acquire NEXT YEAR? ... The Lakers should develop these young players for NEXT YEAR! ...

BLIND DOG OZZY:  "Where is Coach Byron Scott going when he gets fired, NEXT YEAR!"

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Last night at Staples Center, ( Sun. Nov. 15, 2015 ) The Lakers didn't pull their usual disappearing act in the 4th quarter and beat the 5-5 Detroit Pistons -- a pretty entertaining game which put The Lakers at 2 - 8!

BLIND DOG OZZY:  And thousands of Lakers fans didn't have road rage on the way home from Downtown L.A!  

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Laker fans need something to get excited about and when the confetti and streamers came down from the rafters at Staples Center last night, everyone was thinking, "Well, at least we're better than New Orleans (1-9), Brooklyn (1-9) and Philadelphia" (0 - 10)!

BLIND DOG OZZY:  As this NBA season begins, The Lakers have taught us all that no matter how bad your life is, you can always say, "At least I'm not that guy!"

"BLUE" JIMMY:  What kind of chickens**t philosophy is that?

BLIND DOG OZZY:  Whad'ya want from me!!!

LAKERS GET CREATIVE

"BLUE" JIMMY:  LAKERS ANALYST

BLIND DOG OZZY: NEUROTIC CHIHUAHUA

"BLUE" JIMMY:  I gotta give The Lakers style points for imagination -- they have a seemingly, unlimited number of new and creative ways to lose games!!!  On Wednesday night's road game against the Orlando Magic (Wed. Nov. 11, 2015), The Lakers played a decent game against a mediocre Orlando team and had the game tied with pretty much the last possession in their hands.  With Kobe sitting out the game due to a sore back, Coach Scott elected to have veteran guard Lou Williams take the last shot and he shoots a falling down fadeaway that doesn't even hit the rim and they get called for a shot clock violation.  With 1.5 on the clock and the game seemingly going into overtime, they allow Orlando center Nikola Vucevic to hit a Kobe - like turnaround jumper at the buzzer to win the game!

BLIND DOG OZZY:  Then The Lakers had to take that LONG walk to the locker room with their heads down!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  I gotta hand it to them, I expected them to lose but not like that!

BLIND DOG OZZY: (Sarcastic, slow hand clap) Bravo Lakers!!!

BLIND DOG OZZY:  Wow!  Wow!

LAKERS CHOKE!!!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Here is Webster's Dictionary definition of  the word "choke" :  "To lose one's composure and fail to perform effectively in a critical situation."

BLIND DOG OZZY:  And then there's a picture of The Laker's  logo next to it!!!  

   

"BLUE" JIMMY:  In Sunday afternoon's game vs the New York Knicks, ( Sun. Nov. 8, 2015) The Lakers had a decent lead the whole second half and then folded, let Carmelo Anthony be a hero in the final minutes and C-H-O-K-E-D!!! ... To a team that had the worst record in the NBA last season!!!

BLIND DOG OZZY:  I waited patiently, for the last two "rebuilding" seasons to see some motherf**king progress and all I get is this!!!  I could just look in my DVR at last season's games and see the same thing ... Oh, Bitch!!!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Sake's Alive!

BLIND DOG OZZY:  Wow!  Wow!

LAKERS TRY TO LOSE ... AND WIN!!!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  LAKERS ANALYST

BLIND DOG OZZY:  NEUROTIC CHIHUAHUA

"BLUE" JIMMY:  A quick recap of  Friday's game (Nov. 7, 2015) :  Lakers again get off to a bad start and look like they're headed for a blowout; Jordan Clarkson and Julius Randle again look solid and get them back in the game; D' Angelo Russel has his career high (16 points); Kobe (18 points, high scorer) briefly looks like he did when he had an afro and The Lakers run up a good - sized lead late in the game!

BLIND DOG OZZY:  Then they f***k it all up in the last two minutes of the game, blow the lead, throw away an inbounds pass and look like they're trying to lose the game ... but they win!!!  Maybe they should always try to lose!  

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Sake's Alive!

BLIND DOG OZZY:  Wow!  Wow!

LAKERS STILL WINLESS!

MOSES MALONE VS LAKERS

"BLUE" JIMMY:  "Faried leads Nuggets' surge past winless Lakers" read Wednesday's ESPN headline! ( Nov. 4, 2015 ) It's still early in the season and the Lakers have a very young team but 0 - 4?

BLIND DOG OZZY:  They should call back that half - assed team from Israel (Maccabi Haifa) that they beat in the pre season so they can get a win and make themselves look good!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  The only reason to watch the games right now is to see how some of these young players develop.

BLIND DOG OZZY:  Jordan Clarkson and Julius Randall look badass!  D' Angelo Russell needs work!

"BLUE" JIMMY:  Well, let's flush that one down the toilet and hope for more Laker Glory down the road.  The real reason I wanted to write this blog was because of the play of Kenneth "Manimal" Faried, who single - handedly took the Lakers apart.  He reminded me of a great NBA player who I forgot to pay tribute to a couple of months ago -- Moses Malone.

BLIND DOG OZZY:  Oh, S**t!!!


"BLUE" JIMMY:  Malone, who died last September, played from 1974 to 1995, was the eighth all - time leading scorer in NBA history and the fifth - all time leading rebounder.  He was the first player signed out of high school, played for several different teams and won a championship with the Philadelphia 76rs.  He only had a shooting range of about three feet but it seemed like any ball that came off the rim was his and any time he got the ball under the basket, it was an automatic layup or embarrassing dunk right in yo' face!  I don't remember how many times I was so frustrated when he would play against the Lakers -- you just couldn't stop him!   

BLIND DOG OZZY:  The Lakers could use some o' that right now!!!
