Aggressive starts at the top. Look at Jimmy Bum. He set the tone. We suck at this. Wow. "offense"... Come on, Bron. Attack!!! More 3. LOL. And some more.
Thank God for Rajon Rondo. Who'da thought. And Kieff. And Kuz knocking down shots. AC and DG on the other hand. At least AC does other things. DG is a waste of oxygen. I wish Bam was back. Olynyk is killing us. And we have no offense. At all. Why are we not attacking the two unatheltic, non-defending shooters is beyond me. We deserve to lose this. Really. And I can only hope we do better next game. Holy crap. Oh my god!!! Olynyk took it from Bron. Bron, you suck. Jimmy shat on our entire team for the last 2 games.
Butler did last game what he wanted too. And I don't see how this is going to change next game. We might still win it, but this was AWFUL. Also, Vogel has no idea how to run an offense. Nothing. Some people have great talent in analysis, but no talent in synthesis. This is what Vogel is. He know how to react to the zone. Or some such... But when there is a need to initiate -- we have nothing.
Guess we decided to take a game off. It’s fine. Not sweating this loss. Let’s get it back on Tuesday.
This team's weakness, is they're unable to smell and respond to blood in the water. This is what they lost, when Kobe retired. He'd have never let the team lay a goose egg like that. AD should be flogged after that s*** show. Lakers in 5. Sticking to my original prediction.
LOL. You guys are sure all optimistic. Have 2020 passed alredy in CA or something? Anything can happen. Bron could pull a groin looking for his balls. Or AD could pull one looking for his. Vogel could decide to play DG 48 minutes, because he is apparently a savior. Nothing is given. Look @ Miami, having 2 best players sidelined in a single game.
Butler will need to give that performance 3 more times to beat us. Only thing I hate is we allowed Robinson and Herro to gain a little confidence going forward.
That's because they play harder for the most part, Zen. We just didn't show up and the HEAT aren't that bad. They made the finals.
We came out bad, AD never got going, and Butler played the game of his life. We’ve got to match their energy and just show some semblance of respect for our opponent. said us in 5. Still feel that way.
This reminds me of the 2009 playoffs when we were playing Houston, they were without Yao and T-Mac. The Lakers clearly had the superior team, but inexplicably allowed the depleted Rockets push them to the brink of elimination. This is one of the most disappointing losses as a Lakers fan, but I’m not gonna overreact. This was one of our worst performances of the season and up until the last couple of minutes we were still right there. In Game 4 we need to make some adjustments, play with more intensity, and we can get back on track.
The Heat answered the call when we would come back but honestly we should’ve lost by 20 or so tonight. Just never felt like we were going to win.
As a fan base we should be confident IMO. Just look at the Lakers postseason run lost Game 1 in the first two series against Portland and Houston, but bounced back by winning four straight in both series. Last series against Denver we went up 2-0, laid an egg in Game 3, and then responded by winning two straight to close the Nuggets out.
