eh, I think you could have said this, prospectively, about pretty much every draft ever. what you can't say is that there's a surefire star here. that's ok, as it's rare. but it means I'm open to moving the pick for an established player or combination of established players and picks. if we're salivating over kaminsky, dekker, and grant, I'm open to trading out.
I'm not willing to trade out if we're in the Top 5. The best we'd get is a starting NBA player, but that Top 5 is almost assuredly at least a starting caliber player on a cheaper contract. I'm salivating over Dekker and Grant in the teens, not with our Top 5 pick. I'm salivating over Okafor, Towns, Cauley-Stein, or Mudiay at 4 million dollars a year for 4 years. At worst they'll be NBA players and we need those right now.
Ah crap, Philly went full tank against the Knicks. Now we are locked into 4th, which is OK given where we were 2 weeks ago.
Again, I hate this. I hate getting blown out. Watching the team completely give up like this is embarrassing. I know we're not trying to win, I know we're tanking, but damn it this is unworthy of a Laker uniform. It's games like this that make me feel like we shouldn't bring back ANY of these players.
The Clippers seem to have made it their mission to beat us by 30+ each time we play, real, this hasn't been typical against other teams at least. We play them again, sadly I expect it to happen again. Seems like they'd sacrifice rest to key players right before the playoffs if they were 1st place in the entire West by 10 games and were playing us. Payback for 30 years or whatever I guess.
Yeah I know... back-to-back huge blowouts though is exactly what I don't want. If they've given up I'm giving up on them. I don't want guys on my team that are going to sit quietly by while they get completely smoked on their home floor.
I don't even think it's that they've given up, I think it's simply that the Clippers are the worst matchup in the NBA for us for some reason. We seem to be incapable of not getting completely blown out by them no matter the effort. Our shots don't go in and they make evrything, and everything is wide open for them, it's crazy. I don't want to see a blowout either, I could only watch one half of the game tonight it was so bad.
Well its coming back to them very soon. I hate them equally to Boston at this point mostly due to Rivers I think. I cannot stand that man.
x100000. Doc Rivers is the coach I dislike the most...which is an amazing feat because I don't think I've ever hated another team's coach.
Good to see a loss, and the way they have quit on each other was to be expected ...I just thought it would happen a month ago....6 more miserable games and we can bury this smelly carcass.
I think I hate them more than Boston currently, because Chris Paul is my least favorite NBA player. He's a dirty, whiny, flopper and I can't stand him. Boston is mediocre now, nobody is left from their title team. I'll always hate them, but we got revenge on them, they're in the rear view mirror or at least in the lane next to us. The Clippers are up ahead, need to be knocked back down and shown where they belong again, while some of these current guys are still around to experience the fall.
I really do genuinely hate Chris Paul at this point. I'm sick of him. I hate his incessant whining. I hate his flopping. I hate his entitled bull****. I hate his face. I hate his commercials. I haven't hated a player like him since Ray Allen on the C Bags. I want him to lose. I want him humiliated. I want him broken and thrown unceremoniously from the NBA. I want him to leave the NBA despondent, ringless, and revealed as the pathetic loser he is in his heart. I've almost forgiven Stern for keeping that piece of **** off our team.
Let's face it, if he was on the Lakers, we'd be in love with him and laughing at the rest of the league because they be haters.
Wow that's a lot of vemon directed at one player lol. Can't say it's not deserved. He does irritate the hell out me too but my hate is toward the clipper franchise in general especially since doc became their head coach. It seems he's brought that C Bags stench to LA and is trying to instill it into the LA area. And what with clipper "fans" and their trolling now that their team is finally relevant it pissed me off anytime we lose to them. Just something we have to put up with in the meantime I guess.
