Fixed, thanks. 5. My plans for "Forum Blue & Gold brought to you by Lehman Brothers" fell apart (they wanted to pay me in stock). Maybe I should go with Donald Duck, although my 4-year-old daughter would want it to be from Ariel (or one of the other Disney princesses). 4. Fixed, thanks.

They usually clean it up though, I wouldn't worry too much about that. Lakers always turn the ball over a ton in preseason and the beginning of the season.

One can expect that with players that are returning from injuries and combinations of players that have not logged game minutes together. Turnovers will occur anytime that you play an up tempo game. Even in the best of times i.e., with Magic playing point you got up to 10 t/o's a game. That being said the Lakers need to be more cognizant of rebounds and positioning their bodies in the proper place to retrieve missed shots. Minimize turnovers by smarter, crisper passing. I expect these changes to occur within the first 10 games of the season. Turnovers and rebounds are mostly timing problems.

What's up with that? Even during the 5-game winning streak, this pattern continues. Why is it happening... Also, the lakers keep submitting around 24 TOs a game, more than most of their components, even when they won the game... Hey I got a question,

Or should we expect something more sober from the reinvigorated look. Kurt, you do a great job with this site, and I can't wait for the changes. You're amassing quite a formidable staff of writers: Darius and Reed, and the occasional guest. Keep it up guys. FB&G, BROUGHT TO YOU BY WALT DISNEY’S NEWEST FEATURE, IT’S DONALD DUCK TIME!

The ball is in Lamar's hands a lot more and he is less of a spot up shooter.

Right now I'm not really at liberty to explain what it is, but a little kink got thrown into the redesign, but the new look and other change around here will be public soon.
