THEME: [clever but not easily determined] the word CLOSE is "shaved" in each theme phrase --- i.e., the letter C is removed from CLOSESHAVE so C-L-O-S-E becomes L-O-S-E in LOSEONESWAY; that leaves L-O-S-E; then the letter E is removed leaving L-O-S for the LOSANGELESLAKERS …
GOOD ONES:
the clues are most clever but no other entries are
BTW:
With great skill ABLY [one may ABLY draw a horse but may not do so with great skill]

RATING: ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
