    Dude, we need a change. Maybe more people realize it when we finish the season below expectations.

    TWC Lakers coverage needs to ditch the corporate line. Showing all these positive tweets after a loss like that is just bulls*** and annoying. Let's hear some gotdamn real talk.

    Yeah. We do need change. This should have been a win, period. We're not good enough to blow games like this.

    To be fair they were hitting some absolutely ridiculous shots and the refs bailed them out when they didn't fall.

    Nope. Minnesota is not a great team, man. This is a bad sign of things to come. I hope things improve, I really do.

    Minnesota will be back in the lottery this year. I don't think we can choke much more than we did tonight, but we will see.

    Umm, if Byron is still our coach, yes we can; plus, we might be back in the lottery, too. Only this time, our pick will go to Philly...

    Man, screw Kevin Martin and the refs during that FT parade! That's everything wrong with the game today. That POS just throws himself into guys and earns FTs like he's a freaking superstar. He's being doing it his whole career. I don't get it.

    I HATE the Bass/Kelly pf/C thing. Bass is an absolute nightmare of a mess out there. Kelly held his own at center, battling hard for rebounds. He's earned the playing time, but that doesn't mean you play him at center, Byron. Play kelly at Pf and Black at center. Bench Bass until he's healthy. Dude SUCKS!

    Kobe looks to be in chuck-mode already. Why can't he just realize that he's amazing for a 20 year vet and not amazing period anymore, and just pick his spots to go to work with more efficiency?

    I'd like to see Russell get some swagger by Byron running nothing but high PnR for him. He looks timid out there. If he gets an ounce of daylight in the midrange and no one's open for a sweet pass, pull the trigger and shoot every time!

    Bass doesn't suck, he was rock solid as a starter for Boston. Byron sucks and isn't using him right. He has a money jumper from 15-18 around the free throw line and yet he's being kept under the hoop. I think his confidence has taken a big hit with how he's being used, an afterthought.

    Bass is a solid 4, playing him as a 5 is what's making him look useless out there.

    I know, weez. He sucks for us so far though. Maybe it's the injury on top of poor coaching? His jumper is broken and he's just fumbling the ball all over the place and making stupid plays like that horrible pass tonight.

    The refs were a joke today. Who the hell is Kevin Martin to be getting some of the calls he got and always gets seemingly? As if he's Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan. Give me a break.

    I just thought it was lame that he'd jump into a perfectly still defender who had his hands straight up and didn't leave the ground and he'd get the call. A textbook case of initiating the contact and they give him that BS.

    That sort of play shouldn't be rewarded. I know we have a guy that draws fouls in Lou, but he doesn't run into guys just standing there and flail around and get the call. I'd like to think in the 80's the sort of play Kevin Martin used would get him clotheslined to show him what a foul really is. Picturing that makes me feel better.

    This team , especially the 1st unit, is unwatchable ...

    Byron has to go and Kobe has to allow the young players to develop i.e getting hurt .

    Did you just wish Kobe would get injured? It's one game. That we let slip. We were blowing them out.

    These wins come with experience. They relaxed and let the wolves back in. Hopefully they learn from this and it doesn't happen again.
