    Some amazing stats I found last night...

    This season only 5 games have been decided by 40 or more points....in 3 of those 5 the Lakers have been on the losing side.

    Prior to 2014 the Lakers franchise had lost a total of 4 games by 40+ in almost 70 years. They have done it 6 times since.

    In other words...F this team. I can't even express my displeasure with these prideless bums representing the glorious Lakers franchise that has won the western confeerence every second year on average.

    -I feel the same way KB. It's utter garbage watching them. At this point, I wouldn't mind Russell and Clarkson being moved depending on what was coming back. And if Randle doesn't become consistent and continues his one good game/then 3 eggs routine, then he can be jettisoned as well.

    -Yeah they're youngsters, but if they had "it" we would have seen it or glimpses at least, and it would bring patience. All we get to see is trash to this point.

    ^You know...I would have been fine if they eye test showed a bunch of resilient guys playing their heart out and losing. The first 20 games this season were exactly like that.

    But ever since, I really can't say they played hard every game. They do from time to time...they did it against Memphis. They also did it against Indiana. And they did it in a couple of losing efforts like vs. the Cavs and other games.

    But for the most part, they aren't fighting and showing the effort like a young hungry team should. I really don't know what to say and people can laugh at Byron Scott as much as they want...but I understand when an old school guy like him would constantly say "man the f up". I understand that. The effort isn't there and this is no longer acceptable. Russell, Randle, X and Y...almost the entire team.

    Also nobody is playing more than 30 mpg...no reason a bunch of 20 year olds can't run back on fast breaks or fight for rebounds or pressure on defense. No excuses.

    Honestly right now I just hate how all the optimism of the beginning of the season is now gone.

    we dont know that yet, Embiid is a monster, probably will end up being a better 3pt shooter than Simmons will ever be lol
