Wmc 15/16: We are finally at the END! BYE BYRON!!!

well said. if byron wanted to start them off on the bench, i would have understood. but to go to it just after they appeared to start getting on track...just bizarre. and to stick with it when the team's performance has been about the same (dismal) is even less defensible.

 

Exactly. Same here for the last two games. It's just un-watchable.

 

I tuned out after are our 3 game win streak. By that I mean watching the highlights. I stopped watching full games about 15 games into the season.

Very frustrating.

 

Nothing to WMC

Spoiler: see why...

 

I keep watching and that's probably because I have no life. Everybody who stopped watching is smarter than me.

 

I need to punish myself and do penance apparently, so I'm there with you. Most games....

 

You sir, have earned the right to call the masses "bandwagon fans upon their return to follow the Lakers.

 

So after going to the game, I can say that the team looks just as sh***y in person as on TV.

 

honestly, randle responded terribly to his benching. he completely lost all mojo. if I were coach, he'd stay there until he made contact on 10 consecutive screens and stopped getting front row seats for opposing guards' layups.

I'd start nance or bass at pf until randle decided to be a pro.

on the other hand, how Russell hasn't proven that he's the starting pg and maybe the best player on the team is beyond me. not sure what else he has to do. even lou Williams knows he's a sixth man. put him in that role.

 

Not that I could tell.

Some highlights:
I particularly enjoyed early and heavy Ryan Kelly minutes, missing 3 after 3. Stretch 4 without the stretch, and barely a 4.

I also enjoyed watching Randle bobble the ball in the post and failing to convert a lot of 2 footers.

It was just funny hearing the collective groans of the crowd whenever the team managed to mess up something straightforward.

The highlight of the night must have been the crowd chanting MVP for Kobe just because he subbed in during the 4th. Any time the crowd saw Kobe on the monitor or in-game cheers erupted. It's kinda sad that's all we had going for us.

That JC dunk was pretty electric.

Brandon Bass is clearly being showcased for a trade. I would say the same for Ryan Kelly except I am not sure what there is to showcase.

A group of guys behind us decided they would try to sneak into a row of empty seats on the opposite side of Staples, about 3 or 4 rows behind where the Laker girls sit. They left with less than a minute before halftime, walked all the way over there, sat down, and were approached by an usher and asked to vacate the seats within about 5-10 minutes. Kinda hilarious.

Me and my buddy left with around 2 minutes to go in the 4th because we were down big and we wanted to beat traffic. Yay.

 

LOLOL ..... I enjoyed this post. Am going with my son, thank you Son!! .....early first days of February. Hope to see Kobe on the floor in person one last time, though it hasn't been a whole bunch of Staples in person for me since Kobe got here. 3 all in the same season, I think right before they won their first championship with Shaq and Kobe ..... that season .... the seats direct f****** behind Chick and Stu. I was proud of myself for not setting one of those $8 16oz Staples beers on the flat top of the wall behind them and then accidentally knocking it over in my Lakers buzz. Those seats were season tickets for an extended family member's friend who let him and my family use them that one year. I hear we have nice seats. Stay healthy Kobe and looking forward especially for first in person look at D'Angelo Russell. At some point ..... has to earn it ..... likely my next Avatar. Might be a couple of years though.

 

Hey lakersyunowin ..... did you hear any of this last night? We need more of this!! It's not even attacking Boron directly although he needs to BE attacked directly and messed the hell up big time for what he has done to this promising squad this year. Have mentioned "blanket party" of a very physical kind twice myself here. But if he hears these cheers/JEERS then he knows it's directly at him and his own sorry a** performance.

No it musta been pretty short and/or a small group chanting, didn't hear it from where I was sitting. If I did, I would have joined in.
