    It will be on brand to lose in Charlotte because we never could win there even with Kobe and Pau

    Yeah. I get this, but I think there's a lot of reasons to feel like this is sustainable. I'd be more concerned about a fall off if we were shooting like crazy or something but a lot of our wins our based on guys playing hard and being engaged. We haven't been healthy and we didn't have a real preseason. The team's chemistry should continue to improve and when we get everyone back the culture of hard work will be set. We should be able to carry that through the whole season.

    Just like the team when multiple players are out, in this case members here, someone has to step up and try to provide what's missing.


    Am not either of them but doing my best here for our team:

    Obviously. Was saying that the whole way, but alas, we had no challenge left or did not consider making the challenge in the allotted 0.002 second time slot that these miserable refs felt we had!!!

    NBA has hindered the game with these elongated reviews and it's an insult to continue to have the product tainted like that and get the calls wrong to boot. I feel like Adam Silver continues to keep his sport in mud. Use the f***ing technology. Even old red a** MLB and all their geezers have replay and reviews that are quick and easy. Fix this s***!!

    I suppose we were due for a dud.

    Team just didn’t have it tonight. You could see it from the beginning

    "Good" loss, our record was better than our play and guys were starting to become too cocky. A beating from a scrub Atlanta team, might set them straight.

    Worst loss of the year.

    Coming off 5 straight wins against the Hawks 2nd/3rd string on night 2 of a back to back and got ran out of the gym.

    Passing was pathetic. Effort and energy was embarrassing. No one but Luka had any interest in putting the ball through the net.

    Had a last minute chance to go to this one, glad I didn't or that bar tab would've gotten REALLY expensive.

    This was an awful game. They looked they had hit infamous Atlanta strip club scene err partied the night before.

    I mean it was so bad I'm not even sure how to break it down. The other team beats you in every facet of the game and then decided to s*** in your locker room is pretty much a good description of what happened

    Didn't get to see this one but I guess I'm glad. I was concerned we weren't going to be ready.

    Not for one second were we really in this game. Yea, both teams had a lot of guys out, but we just didn't bring it.

    First "flush it down" game of the season. Lakers down 68-54 at half. We gave up 68 to these guy in 24 mins. Needed to come out in the 3rd strong, but ATL won the 3rd 30-18.

    Our D blew. Vando came off the bench and ended up playing the most mins (28) of any Laker. He got 18 boards. 12/18/2 with a steal and a block for Vando: he showed up. Not enough.

    I hesitate to say it, but the stench of those gambling stories made me wonder with this one. Not that I think anything was going on. But I thought about it.

    I wonder what Silver will do about this problem. I suspect: zilch.

    Get Reaves back. Luka needs that help. The ballhandeling and scoring.
