    WE HAVE NO DEPENDABLE BIG aside from AD. Bryant is useless on defense and Jones is plain useless. That’s why LeBronze plays Center half the stupid game.

    Top three in FAILURE by a Laker GM to build a well balanced roster.

    That’s what you get when you have another FAILURE of a summer by your GM.

    Hmmmmm.
    But, but, he tallied a triple double- it can’t be his fault.
    Close games are won by dependable shot makers.
    Might be time for Ham and his staff to realize this and adjust.

    I thought Ham was speaking in code when he said he learned something and wouldn't do it again: the code being NOT having Brick in there in crunch. And: against PHI: look at Brick in just the OT period: CRINGEWORTHY. Can't pass, can't hold onto the ball, and made 5 FGAs in OT, missing all of them, predictably.

    Yea, but still: AD hits that last FT in reg and we probably win the game, very improbably. The OT period was maddening, esp. after the comeaback...esp after D.Mitchell wrecked us in CLE, we sacrificed a game in TOR, and had a chance to ice it in PHI with one FT.

    I'd like to see us take all this bottled frustration out on DET before heading back home. Just annihilate the Pistons.

    NBA refs f***ing sucks. So many missed blatant fouls... it's like they placed a bet in Vegas.

    Idk who in their right f****** minds thinks this is a good lineup in 2022.

    I'm just thinking about the game, lol. But yeah, wtf? We can blame Russ all we want, but this lineup, bro?

    deanthony melton's a shooter now?

    btw, for the record, go look at the receipts--i questioned us taking bonga (and wagner, for that matter) over melton. I WAS CORRECT IN QUESTIONING THIS!

    edit: btw, bruce brown right after bonga, too. wasn't magic the bonga guy? man that guy was SO destructive in just a shot period of time.

    Well to be fair, that comeback from double digits with like 2 minutes to go was super impressive. Unfortunately they seemed to have run out of gas after that.

    melton shoots 38% from 3s but ALL his 3s were WIDE open, so that helps

    Can't have closing lineups that are filled with small guys who also can't shoot

    Everyone gets up to play the Lakers regardless of record when AD/Lebron are on the team. Something that isn't in the strength of schedule but a very real thing

    we took a huge turd on this road trip and turned what could have been something special into the Laker's medical show again. I wonder if we need to start looking at our medical team, no way your #1 star should be contracting the flue.
