    Not all of them, just a few.
    I’m actually only pissed at two members of this Franchise.
    Some others that you may think should be amongst that group are just in over their heads and I hope they course correct in a major way.
    Hey, at least summer is right around the corner!

    Last night was just a gutless performance down the stretch and overtime.

    They were laughing on the bench, having a good time during the 2nd quarter if I remember correctly. Everyone having a good time and enjoying the evening. Good for them.

    -Simons is out for the Blazers for a couple weeks
    -Ingram is out and will be reevaluated in 7-10 days. McCollum is in Covid protocols.
    -Spurs are only good enough to beat us

    I think we're locked in the play in. 9th or 10th might just come down to wins our next two matchups with the Pelicans.

    Either way, this nightmare season is going to drag on enough for us to get pummeled in round 1.

    Nah, we won’t win both play-in games. Maybe the first one if LeBron goes off, but you have to win the very next night I believe. He can’t do it in back to back games anymore without that knee flaring up sadly. We won’t be in round 1, that’ll be the Clippers or Wolves.

    You're more optimistic than I am. I think the basketball gods hate this team too much to let us go quietly into the night. I think we fall into it and get blown out in embarrassing fashion in 4 straight.

    Speaking of us sucking...

    Suns didn’t even have Chris Paul for this one… They put up 140.. If we face them in round 1 after somehow winning 2 play-in games… the carnage. It will be like 2012/13 first round vs San Antonio all over again, a series so meaningless I bet few here remember it.

    I DVR'ed the game and have YouTube TV, which has a function to "watch key plays." So, about 2 hours after the game was over and I'd had no news about the outcome, I chose "watch key plays", because I suspected this was going to be yet another debacle.

    Aaaand: Yep! Debacle: Lakers didn't even belong on the same floor. When you give up 48 in the 1st Q, 17 off of fast breaks...Pug-Fugly.

    And I strongly suspect that even AD coming back won't help. This season has been (mostly) a nightmare.

    At least we got revenge and beat the C-Bags in the rematch.

    since this is a full-on repeat of 2012, i'm expecting it. and i remember it. basically everyone was injured, and we just got demolished. i think the starting backcourt may have included andrew goudelocke, our second rounder or camp invite from that year.

    We will limp into the play-in game at the 10th spot and get run by the Wolves.

    This isn't quite a full on repeat. That team for the last half of the season, before Kobe tore his achilles, was actually on quite the role. They also were 8 games above .500. This team is currently 9 games below. And it will get worse.

    How about limp to 12th place and not have to worry about it.

    I don’t blame Spectrum, they paid 3 BILLION dollars for 20 years for the Lakers only to have Jeanie cheap out on the margins for a guy like Caruso.
