Game Debrief: What Went Right And What Went Wrong?

NO .... HOW?

 

OKC comes into Crypt to play decimated Lakers, yawn their way through a 36 point win. Lakers top scorer was Rui with 15.

OKC had a guy off the bench named Jared McCain who had 15.

The It's All Over But The Shouting Lakers lose 123-87, in a game you'd've had to give me your tickets for free to go to...and I still might've put 'em up on StubHub. The final score makes it look like the Lakers "only" lost by 36, but we all know it could've been 60 if OKC wanted to be d***s about it.

Hammy strain equals Lakers fan pain; Grade 2 oblique and the remote I seek.

Lebron didn't play. (Can't say I blame him.)

Drew Timme started, got 27 mins, was 4 for 9 from the field.

Adou Thiero got 21 mins! 10/4/2. Burn them reps, Adou! Look forward to major mins at least into the loss against...Utah?

DAY-um!

Kobe Bufkin: 18 mins: 9/3/4 on 2 for 6 shooting.

Nick Smith: 12 mins: 11 on 4 of 6 with 20 cents on two thin FDR dimes.

OKC hit 21 3s; Lakers made 9.

Luke Kennard, Jake Laravia and Bronny James combined for 0-11 from deep. It was quite a spectacle. But then so is Intramural Volleyball.

 

Good to see the young guys get some playing time

About time and as they play we learn more about them

There is nothing to replace playing at game speed to bring out the best in players or show their weaknesses

 

Yeah. I like that young guys got some time. They kept it interesting as long as they could.

we just aren’t going to win without our top 3 players. It is what it is.
