    Lebron is playing the fewest minutes of his career at 32 min a game.

    Not having Dwight blows. This was the exact game where Dwight wouldnt have taken any of the nonsense that Drummond was handing out to AD.

    Hopefully AD brings the DPOY stuff against Embid as this still seems like the dumbest decision of the off season

    This is the WMC thread after all. Everyone please feel free to complain all you want here! Lament the loss of a favorite player, whine about free throws missed, diss the stupid refs . . . this is the right place to do it. That's what I do!

    yeah, these are the type of games where dwight is missed. especially when gasol picks up 5 fouls in two minutes

    they really need to pick up another big man before the playoffs

    OX, this thread is specifically whining, moaning, and complaining about whatever Laker related thing people here feel like. And Pioneer10 is correct, if it’s that much of an issue for you you can absolutely put them on your ignore list. Jokes are fine, but this one felt a little over the top to me.

    eh, don't see how howard doesn't pick up those fouls, too. tbh, cleveland hit a bunch of threes (by their standards), and luckily lebron bailed the rest of the team out of a pretty horrid shooting night (by our new standards). that's why you pay the big stars.

    cleveland's .500 and just beat the nets twice, so i'm not sure playing them close is embarrassing (as i thought it would be pre-season).

    All else being said, and Ox made me LOL, but I really do think that losing DH hurt this team. McGee a little but DH really closed down our lanes, way more than Marc can dream of.

    That being said, Marc does open our offensive lanes and our team 3 point shooting has skyrocketed. We are still near the top of blocked shots but the eye test is that we are giving up open lane twos and an astonishing rate and I worry that this will be a big problem in the playoffs.

    I wonder if AD is holding back a bit and attacking other bigs on defense because he is trying to mend his injuries from last year. ?????? I am hoping this is true and he will be able to dial in on D during the playoffs. Past this, we need another defensive big.

    Our game threads have become real downers. Listen, I get it...players do dumb things, take bad shots, throw the ball away etc. Trouble is that a player will make 4 good plays in a row and then miss a shot and all that is ever said is this guy sucks. People don’t complement the 4 plays before it, where the player did well. The constant negativity becomes a real drag.

    Vogel needs to stop playing what lakers twitter is calling the Lineup of Meh: Morris, Harell, Lebron, Kz, Matthews. It's a lineup that actually is causing Lebron minutes not to be positive which is crazy.

    Big problem is that that they need an actual guard who can do so some ballhandling and playmaking instead of two guys you don't trust to dribble and together make a slow defensive combo. These lineup and variations again sucked tonight

    They showed alot in this loss. Entertaining game. They didn't quit and played their a** off. If the 76ers make it to the Finals, this will definatly be a 6 gamer in the Lakers favor.
