    He got so tapped in that stretch! I don't remember the last time I saw so many shots go in and out including a dunk. That was bizarre.

    Third options don’t sign for $13M per year. Seriously people, try to put your expectations into perspective!

    Kuz was awful last night, but he’s a role player and that inconsistency is exactly why. If he consistently put up 18-20 PPG, he wouldn’t have extended for $13M per year. He didn’t re-sign here to be the 3rd option. That’s an unreasonable expectation put on by fans and encouraged by dumb analysts like Reggie Miller.

    Of the four, I like starting with the Suns. They gel well. But still mostly untested. As I said in another thread - we can deal with their guards over a series, like we did against Dame/CJ and Russ/Harden last year. With Ad feeling better and hopefully getting focused and angry, James rested, and Dennis now having some rest, I am feeling more optimistic despite the struggles for 2 months.

    I hope that the fact that despite all woes our D remained stellar (on average) will carry us through.
    Also... more Gasol, less Drummond.

    “and Dennis now having some rest”

    He’s out 14 days meaning the dumb s*** actually caught it. It could be kicking his a** like it has numerous other players and affect him further on, we have no idea.

    He's playing COD.

    He's doing fine.

    To be fair, CoD is slightly less demanding to play than professional basketball.

    Yeah, watching our team get smashed in general is very demanding, as we all know... unfortunately. I'd rather play CoD too.

    Rather than supporting your teammates?

    Yeah ok. We'll see what Rob thinks of that...

    No, I don't play for the Lakers, I don't have teammates. I'm just a random guy on the forum. I feel I'd rather play CoD than watch some of the recent losses (not all, we played some OK games here and there).

    I am not Dennis Schroeder, I promise. :D

    I misunderstood. I'm referring to Dennis going online and playing COD while the Lakers were playing against the Clips.

    Just the wrong look.

    Especially for a guy asking for $27 million.

    Re: Rob - there's no way Dennis is getting big bucks after all this. He really failed with this last COVID-related problem. This is where we needed him most, and he wasn't there to help. That much is true.

    Was this posted somewhere on social media of Dennis playing COD? I just didn’t see it if it was.

    he can have 27 million. over the first two years of the contract. he's about as valuable as kuz and kcp and should be paid as such.
