    As usual but there were almost no energy best example,he was almost back and we couldnt secure the rebound then we lost the ball that was our and then dunk,everything continued downhill...
    We missed so many oportunites against bad teams like ny,cle,orl,was that with next schedule even with lebron it will be hard to catch the rhytam and finish the 8th...

    I don’t understand why we go away from things that are successful. Youth, I guess? The Detroit game McGee only had like 10 points, but he was being spoon fed so it felt like a lot more because they were such easy hoops. So tonight we ignore him, he gets 3 shots. Ingram only had 10 too, but before some late game jumpers a lot were at the hoop, his length is what makes him effective. And where does Lonzo the playmaker with those insane assists go? He vanishes, it’s baffling. This team thinks they can just show up at home and win, it’s been like this almost as long as I can remember, the Shaq-Kobe teams were the same way because most nights they could. This team cannot do that, they don’t have the talent. So damn frustrating. Losses like this one, the Knicks one, the Orlando ones, that could be the reason we miss the playoffs. LeBron is 34 now and coming off a groin injury, we can’t throw him out there and say “here, you do it all” like he’s prime Kobe, he will break, and we have him for 4 years we need to play the long game. A serious roster overhaul is in order though, we can no longer get away with not having shooters or even FREE THROW shooters, it’s caught up to us.

    Not even mad, knew this was coming and people saying we didn't need Bron need a reality check. Also, after signing Bron, Maginka had a brain fart i guess.
    Not watching a second of Lakers play before Bron comes back. Now he knows how Mamba felt the last few years :(

    I don't have much to complain...they just blow a fat one.

    I'm kind of tired to complain about FTs and 3 ball...this teams sucks at it, so its not like they can do it better but they don't...they simply can't do it better.

    People blaming Luke should be blaming Magic and Rob as well. They created a highly dysfuncional team when it comes to FT's and 3 point shooting. If it wasn't for Bron commiting on day one, they would be as bad as Jim and Mitch.

    It would be worse because in the meantime they have gotten rid of Randle and Russell.

    False...no dumping of Moz and JC's salary, no Bron period....even with a Deng stretch.

    In fact dumping JC was a necessity to still have Jules cap hold on the books to have the ability to match any offer for him, while convincing Paula and/or Bron to shave some off the top of their respective maxes so that we can have all 3 (not far fetched since Jules and Paula are both repped by Mintz). But Paula ducked us and Jules asked out of his restricted free agency.

    Btw, why did we even have to dump salary to go fetch Bron? Who where the knuckleheads handing out those type of contracts.

    Worse than Jimmy & Mitch?!? Haha...stop it!

    Buuut...about last night...that was embarrassing. I ain't going to shield any Laker for that one.

    It doesn't matter whether they are better or worse...the problem is this team still sucks except for LeBron.

    Whether they suck less or more...they suck.

    The only thing worse than watching Ingram pound the ball into the floor repeatedly is watching the team scratch and claw their way to 60% from the FREE throw line.

    Proven talent >>>> Potential for me every time

    they got James right but come on bro I know you trying to spew that "smash bro" team construction garbage but this team is showing its true colors, poor shooters everywhere...there's nothing "tough" about this team, they're as soft as every other bad teams out there minus James

    Extremely small sample size aside, how tough was this team against the team it was specifically constucted for on Christmas day?

    What's a SmashBro without Rondoe?
