My expectations for this season? Not good enough for the playoffs and not bad enough to keep top 3 protected pick. Honestly, this season is about developing the young trio in Russell, Randle and Clarkson. I'm really paranoid and pessimistic when it comes to most rookies that I want to do well. Randle has been killling it in the preseason. I'm so impressed with what he's been doing. Russell hasn't played much because Rudy Gobert gave him a bruised glute in the second preseason game. I'm worried about D'Angelo even though I probably shouldn't be. I think he's going to be great but at the same time the impatient people that are calling him a bust after one unimpressive summer league are starting to get in my head. Clarkson is still good and is showing that his great rookie season was not a fluke. I'm also loving the vets that the Lakers picked up in the offseason. Lou Williams is looking great and I immediately see a difference in how teams' offenses respond to Hibbert protecting the paint. I don't think the Lakers will have a good season, not because they're a bad team but because they're in the West where it's packed with great teams. If the Lakers were in the East, they'd be contending for that 8th seed. I predict 33 wins for the purple and gold. Where do you see a guy like Roy Hibbert who once had a good run in the Eastern Conference with the Pacers, but the last couple seasons has fallen off?

He had one bad season last season. Before that, he was an all star. Even in his "bad" season he was a league leader in rim protection. So far, he's looking like the defensive anchor and the enforcer for the Lakers. When Trevor Booker shoved Julius Randle, Hibbert stood up for the young fella. He's dedicated to having a good season in a new environment and in his contract year. If the Lakers do better than expected, than he's a major part of it.

I bought an absolutely ridiculous amount of comic books today. Hopefully they give me a bit of inspiration for DC Universe on HBO.

So the parents are sick. I hope that isn't what marriage is like... When one's sick, the other's not feeling too well either.

I'm a Cowboys fan, but man our fanbase is delusional. There's people who believe we can go 16-0 every year against every team......................... They think Weeden can beat Brady and the Patriots today............................. But just two weeks ago, they were complaining about Brandon Weeden, begging for Matt Cassel, and were crying about Romo going down.
But again, they have all the confidence in the world Brandon Weeden can win the game for Dallas, and they think he's going to, like it's a done deal and the Patriots are no match.
If somebody knows a logical Dallas Cowboys fan, suggest him to me.. I can't deal with morons.
