The game on Sunday evening was difficult
to watch. Our Lakers hosted the Clippers
down at Staples Center and from the
very start it was a struggle and final score was:
106-78. Again they will be facing each other
on Tuesday night. This made the 56th. loss
for our Lakers. We have had a historic ineptitude
with our relationship so it is hard to deal with
as roommates here at Staples.
The Clippers had a 31-game lead over us
in the Pacific Division standings. Our Wesley
Johnson did make 16 points. It seems that
Nick Young will still not be able to play at all.
With 6 games left to play, the Lakers have
surpassed last season's team as the losing-
est in the 16-time champion franchise's
illustrious history. Earlier we also took a
loss against the New Orleans Pelicans.
On Wednesday our loss scoring was:113-92.
Yes, a victory too was ours when we played
on Friday night against the Portland Trailblazers.
Also on Friday, our Lakers signed up 190 lb.
guard Dwight Buycks to a 10 day contract
after the NBA approved a hardship exception
because of various season-ending & long
term injuries. Did have a truly wonderful
tour however this past week out by Lake
Elizabeth and close to Lake Hughes. It
is a camp for terminally ill children for
the nicer parts of the year, weather-wise..
This is in Antelope Valley area in the High Desert.
The Lakers have put in a huge basketball
court there complete with our Lakers logo
J.Paul Getty was instrumental in the
workings and architectural make-up
of this sprawling, wonderful place.
It was instigated by actor Paul Newman
first in his home-state & he called that one the
"Hole in the Wall" in Connecticut. Actually
there are 30 such camps around the world.
The families too can join them (all free)
with donations provided for this venture.
Mess-hall meals, total medical staff, horses
to ride, trails to tred, a great big outdoor
area for all sorts of activities taking place
and many cabins (lovely ones at that) plus
a big recreational hall, but what took my
notice the most was our Lakers gym.
For me to obtain the tour, it took my breath
away at the beauty seeing turtles and waters, the
crafts allowed and the ambiance of the entire
acreage area, For anybody interested please
telephone : 1-310-451-1353 (or) do email
them at: info@thepaintedturtle.org.
This is the Paul Newman's global network
of SeriousFun Camps. You may also join them
with your email address to be on their mailing list.
Meanwhile tomorrow eve. let's watch our Lakers
again as the L.A. Clippers host us at Staples Center.
