How many points could you score on the Los Angeles Lakers defense right now?

Taylor Smith (@TaylorBojangles): Post me up against Marcelo Huertas and I’m popping off for 60.

Donnie Kolakowski (@donniebuckets): I haven’t played in about a year, so I’ll conservatively say 16.

Ryne Prinz (@ryneprinz): I’ve never been much of a scorer so 25.

Dan Favale (@danfavale): Wilt Chamberlain’s record would be mine.

Matt Cianfrone (@Matt_Cianfrone): Norris Cole scored 11 on them this year so 12 seems like a safe number.

More likely to be a member of the Washington Wizards next season, Kobe or Randy Wittman?

Smith: Kobe, which is good news for Wizards fans.

Kolakowski: NEXT QUESTION!

Prinz: Anyone else excited for Coach Bryant?

Favale: Definitely Wittman, but only because there is no feasible offseason scenario in which Kobe doesn’t sign with Philly to mentor Nik Stauskas.

Cianfrone: Kobe has always kind of wanted to be Michael Jordan, right? So Kobe.

Deep down, how afraid was Dennis Schroder when this was happening?

Smith: He was paralyzed with fear…until he got lost in Andre’s eyes.

Kolakowski: Have you seen some of the shots Schroder takes? Fear isn’t in his vocabulary

Prinz: I refuse to believe Dennis the Menace fears anything.

Favale: I fully believe he was unafraid and prepared to breakdance fight, Zoolander style.

Cianfrone: I don’t care what he said, Dennis was absolutely terrified.

Which Alvin Gentry quote was the best from his presser after the Pelicans beat the Knicks?

Smith: They were all perfect, but I really liked the comment about how the Pels had more players in their team photo than the Saints, because it’s probably not all that far off.

Kolakowski: I loved him saying they needed to find a voodoo doctor and following it up with, “We gotta find the bones under this place.” This leads me to believe Gentry is one step away from amateur Wicca.

Prinz: I’m going to flip this and go with his worst. He implied Kendrick Perkins couldn’t handle the ball. Kendrick Perkins can do anything Kendrick Perkins wants to do.

Favale: Everything he said was absolutely amazing, but nothing topped him acknowledging that the Pelicans have every D-League player in existence on pins and needles, anxiously awaiting a call-up.

Cianfrone: Gonna agree with Dan on this one. Considering that every night the Pelicans are playing a new D-League player for around 25 minutes it was that one. But the voodoo one led to a great story by Brett Dawson so that is a close second.
