Nov 19, 2021 at 5:46 PM - Weezy: If Russ were a quarterback they’d be ripping him for telegraphing passes
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:46 PM - lakerjones: DS on the ground lol
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:46 PM - Juronimo: ugly yet effective
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:46 PM - Khmrp: russ is zach wilsokn of nba
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:47 PM - Khmrp: wilson
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:47 PM - ElginTheGreat: Good job Russ. Lol
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:47 PM - Cookie: Wasn’t that Russ’s first turnover this game. Or his second
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:47 PM - Weezy: It’s not the number, that’s just a bad pass, you don’t need to make that pass
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:48 PM - Weezy: Just take it up yourself
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:48 PM - lakerjones: Lebron got mangled on that
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:48 PM - Cookie: Monk you have to make that
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:48 PM - Weezy: C Bags with some home cookin
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:48 PM - Weezy: Shocker
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:48 PM - Weezy: Lebron And 1!
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:48 PM - Cookie: That should be a foul
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:48 PM - lakerjones: And one!!
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:48 PM - karacha: nice 1
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:48 PM - The Showtime Mamba: good look no luck with monk.
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:48 PM - Juronimo: lebron got fouled like 5 times on that defensive possession
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:48 PM - ElginTheGreat: Wow no foul
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:48 PM - lakerjones: Lol true
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:48 PM - Juronimo: monk shouldve gotten that ball tho
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:48 PM - Weezy: Refs treat him like Shaq
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:49 PM - Juronimo: lebron angry, he better be, this is the evil empire
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:49 PM - lakerjones: It’s true since he’s been a Laker
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:49 PM - Weezy: Yeah, he used to get a ton of calls. Not anymore
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:49 PM - lakerjones: Yep
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:50 PM - karacha: well, this is a fun game.
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:50 PM - karacha: and we're up 1
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:50 PM - Weezy: Lakers C Bags, always a good time
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:50 PM - Cookie: Thank god that last shot by Tatum didn’t go in.
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:51 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I feel like Lebrons post up moves and midrange is much better and more reliable than AD's and his threes are better too.
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:51 PM - Juronimo: beating the evil empire is a great time. losing to them is agony
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:51 PM - Cookie: It is Showtime
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:51 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Nothing worse than not getting those free calls anymore.

 

Nov 19, 2021 at 5:53 PM - OX1947: C Bags are not the evil empire. Lakers are the empire
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:54 PM - OX1947: C Bags have won 2 titles in the last 35 years, the Lakers have won 8
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:54 PM - ElginTheGreat: Enjoying this one. Nice to see that our guys really want it.
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:56 PM - Juronimo: one thing I liked that Lebron did is that he played through the uncalled fouls
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:56 PM - Juronimo: this is something the whole team needs to see.
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:56 PM - Cookie: Good game so far. Hope AD comes out aggressive in the 3rd like he did in the first.
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:57 PM - Cookie: I agree Juronimo
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:57 PM - The Showtime Mamba: C Bags can be the fallen empire.
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:58 PM - Juronimo: we need to break the tie Showtime
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:58 PM - The Showtime Mamba: We do, and now is the time.
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:58 PM - OX1947: Beating the C Bags and Pistons in a weekend would be moist
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:59 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Who WAS the team who previously tied the Lakers for most NBA championships would be a sweet trivia question.
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:59 PM - Cookie: Yep
Nov 19, 2021 at 5:59 PM - OX1947: They're that lame empire from the recent Star Crap movies
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:00 PM - OX1947: Previously tied? You mean from the 60s?
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:02 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I never knew Lebron James Jr (Bronie) was only six feet four.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:03 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Should have put HGH in his fruit loops and snickers bars.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:03 PM - OX1947: And no one is talking about the fact that he is an ok player
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:04 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Ok like ordinary or ok like NBA calibre?
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:04 PM - OX1947: I'm hearing he isn't NBA good yet
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:05 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Would he go to the g league or something so Lebron can sign him into the Lakers.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:06 PM - Weezy: THT needs to stop playing for the foul and looking at the refs
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:06 PM - Juronimo: that's a brick, good defense
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:06 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Makes sense Ox, if he had the Lebron talent as well as being Lebron's son the cameras would be on his every dribble and shot.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:07 PM - Cookie: AB can’t shoot
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:07 PM - Weezy: It’s good that Bradley’s contract isn’t guaranteed
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:07 PM - Khmrp: aww theres that 3rd qtr
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:08 PM - Cookie: Come on
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:08 PM - The Showtime Mamba: AB is on an every 10 contract. Every ten days he has a good game.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:09 PM - Cookie: Lol
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:09 PM - donalddrumpf: This is a joke
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:09 PM - donalddrumpf: EVERY 3rd Q
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:10 PM - The Showtime Mamba: drumpf, when was the last time you were happy watching a game. I get you care, but you always seem so sad/mad.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:11 PM - donalddrumpf: The times I am not here is usualyl when were winning
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:11 PM - donalddrumpf: I come here to rant

 

Nov 19, 2021 at 6:11 PM - donalddrumpf: When theyre winning, im happy
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:11 PM - donalddrumpf: Or when doing the right things at least
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:11 PM - donalddrumpf: I dont know how a team can come out poor every 3rd Q
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:11 PM - Cookie: You should be in the WMC thread then.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:11 PM - donalddrumpf: Speaks about coaching or effort imo
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:12 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Cool, glad you are doing ok, cause i was going to say if it makes you that angry don't hurt yourself. We have had some ugly games recently.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:12 PM - Weezy: So I guess LeBron can’t magically fix us
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:13 PM - Khmrp: i dont think the defense is ever gona improve
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:13 PM - donalddrumpf: Na im good lol, I just come here to destress from these guys
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:13 PM - Cookie: The game thread is not just for ranting. You can say nice things too.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:13 PM - donalddrumpf: Lebron is great
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:13 PM - donalddrumpf: Thats it
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:13 PM - Khmrp: no ome fixing russ ugly a** shot
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:13 PM - donalddrumpf: AD is great when aggressie
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:14 PM - Weezy: I guess now we’re waiting on ariza to say everything will be fine.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:14 PM - karacha: no. ariza & nunn
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:14 PM - karacha: but then, ad will be hurt
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:14 PM - Cookie: Reaves
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:14 PM - karacha: and reaves, yes
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:15 PM - Weezy: Well, first ariza. When he doesn’t fix it we’ll move onto saying “wait for Nunn”
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:15 PM - Cookie: Finally AB
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:15 PM - karacha: dennis torched us
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:15 PM - Cookie: No defense
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:16 PM - Weezy: Yeah just leave AB on Tatum lol
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:16 PM - karacha: this dude bron is alright
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:16 PM - Cookie: It went in but stop with the iso
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:17 PM - Khmrp: where brickman bazemore?
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:17 PM - Cookie: Nice pass from Russ to AD
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:17 PM - Khmrp: he has some sz to deter tatum a bit
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:17 PM - Cookie: Bazemore would be lunch.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:17 PM - Weezy: We just fold in third quarters. Lazy defense, apathetic shots
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:18 PM - ElginTheGreat: These horrible third quarters are just so aggravating
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:18 PM - Cookie: Come on Melo
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:19 PM - ElginTheGreat: Still can’t box out
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:19 PM - Weezy: I’m done with Bradley good god

 

Nov 19, 2021 at 6:19 PM - Khmrp: sad shoreder out playing 44millon man
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:19 PM - karacha: well, that's bradley i kind of "envisioned" for this team
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:20 PM - Cookie: AD how about some defense
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:20 PM - Khmrp: yea gsw knew what they're doing when they waived him
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:20 PM - karacha: can we sign dennis guys? i hear he's an expiring
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:20 PM - ElginTheGreat: Bradley playing his way back out of a contract
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:20 PM - Weezy: Bradley is TOO SMALL
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:20 PM - karacha: we dug the hole and now we're likely done
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:20 PM - Weezy: We need to sign a bigger body. Is Ennis really that bad?
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:20 PM - karacha: no, he wanted a guaranteed. but we're cheap like that
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:20 PM - Khmrp: keep chucking them 3s russ
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:20 PM - Cookie: Plenty of time still.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:21 PM - ElginTheGreat: I don’t even recognize half the C Bags.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:21 PM - ElginTheGreat: Weezy - I thought we just didn’t want to pay Ennis.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:21 PM - ElginTheGreat: He can’t be worse.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:22 PM - karacha: ennis is pretty solid actually. big and plays d
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:22 PM - ElginTheGreat: This defense is untenable
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:22 PM - ElginTheGreat: We need help. ASAP
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:23 PM - Weezy: Well cheapness is going to cost us a title
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:23 PM - Khmrp: feels like these 3rd qtr is normal now
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:23 PM - Weezy: You can’t win with this defense
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:23 PM - ElginTheGreat: It really is. I don’t see Nunn helping us with that.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:24 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Is it the second quarter and they almost have 90?
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:24 PM - ElginTheGreat: Third.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:24 PM - Weezy: It’s the 3rd
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:24 PM - ElginTheGreat: Another third quarter collapse
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:24 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Oh. ROFL.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:25 PM - LaVarBallsDad: I knew that wasn't right.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:25 PM - karacha: we'll come back guys. and lose by 2, lol
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:25 PM - Khmrp: at this pt is it collaspe or expected?
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:25 PM - karacha: ad should dribble more
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:25 PM - Weezy: That’s not much better though, we’ve given up 30 points every quarter
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:25 PM - Cookie: AD what are you doing
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:25 PM - Weezy: They’ve held us to 16 this quarter
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:26 PM - Cookie: We still have a run in us.

 

Nov 19, 2021 at 6:27 PM - Cookie: There you go AD.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:27 PM - karacha: here we come
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:27 PM - ElginTheGreat: Khmrp - expected but frustrating
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:28 PM - Khmrp: not saying I want shroeder back but this gm is how id wish russ could play like
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:28 PM - Cookie: Dennis will suck after this game.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:29 PM - Cookie: Boston can’t stand him.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:29 PM - Khmrp: hes bedn pretty good since he started cookie
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:29 PM - Khmrp: been
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:29 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Have the Lakers tuned Vogel out? Looking for players to have hands in their ears going lalalalalalala I can't hear you.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:29 PM - Weezy: LeBron was supposed to save us by himself though, that’s what mike trudell said on LFR pod
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:29 PM - Weezy: He said we don’t need an offense, just give it to LeBron
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:29 PM - Cookie: I’m just going by Boston fans comments. They don’t like him.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:30 PM - Khmrp: probably true but his #s are good
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:30 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Do they say the same things we do Cookie, inconsistent, can't shoot, not a good passer, bad attitude??????
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:31 PM - Cookie: Pretty much.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:31 PM - karacha: we have energy for 1 run. let's see if we can do it.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:31 PM - Cookie: Stupid Bron
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:31 PM - ElginTheGreat: I disliked the Fizdale hire more than I did the trade for Westbrook. He’s not offense guy
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:32 PM - Weezy: Russ has once again disappeared. It’s not enough to not be bad, when your a 44 million dollar all star you need to be GREAT
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:33 PM - Khmrp: well last we were bottom of league offensive eff too
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:33 PM - Weezy: I’m not applauding you if you’re just not a hinderance
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:33 PM - Khmrp: so kidd system wasnt any better
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:33 PM - Cookie: Just looked about Dennis’s stats for the year. They are close to what they were with us. Lower 3 point shooting and just a tiny bit higher from 2. Nothing special either way.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:34 PM - Khmrp: id be moderately satisfied if russ avg those #s
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:35 PM - Ceteris21: If you can't bring your effort to play against C Bags as a laker then what? We make every team look good
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:35 PM - Cookie: I’m more pissed at Davis. He’s disappeared since the first quarter
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:35 PM - Khmrp: shooting % wise
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:35 PM - ElginTheGreat: Frank iced AD
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:35 PM - Cookie: No you wouldn’t Khmrp. You’d find something else
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:35 PM - Khmrp: feel like ad needs to get spoon fed now for him to stay engaged/aggressive
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:35 PM - Khmrp: sure cookie
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:36 PM - Khmrp: u happy with russ right now?
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:36 PM - ElginTheGreat: I’m fine with spoon feeding AD.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:36 PM - ElginTheGreat: He should be the focal point out there IMO
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:36 PM - Cookie: No but I do say good things about him when he does good things and complain when he’s dumb.

 

Nov 19, 2021 at 6:37 PM - Juronimo: me too elgin
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:37 PM - Khmrp: theres more dumb then good
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:37 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I mean spoon feeding is by definition good looks, and when AD creates it ain't happening right now.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:37 PM - Cookie: Nice Russ. Like that but you comment is he’s dumb.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:37 PM - Khmrp: i don't need to praise him on everything nor do i trash him for everything
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:38 PM - Khmrp: his 3pt n to are my issues with russ
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:38 PM - ElginTheGreat: THT a no show tonight. I guess he was due for an off night
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:38 PM - Cookie: I complement all the players on good and complain on bad.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:38 PM - Cookie: 2 good Russ plays.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:39 PM - ElginTheGreat: We’re not out of this if we could just get some stops. Big ask if this team but still
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:39 PM - Weezy: THT never got a chance to get going
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:39 PM - Weezy: He didn’t even touch the ball for like the first 4 minutes of the game
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:39 PM - karacha: we can still come back
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:39 PM - ElginTheGreat: True
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:40 PM - Weezy: I’m starting to be over Vogel
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:40 PM - Cookie: We have time still but really need to play like we want to win.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:40 PM - karacha: so, next time we don't start tht with bron.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:40 PM - karacha: so he has a chance to come in and score
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:40 PM - Weezy: Yea he’s a good defensive coach and a good guy, but you can’t have LeBron, AD, and WB and be this bad on offense
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:41 PM - Weezy: And you can’t be putting AB or Monk on Tatum, like WTF
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:43 PM - ElginTheGreat: I’ve been there with Vogel for awhile.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:43 PM - ElginTheGreat: I don’t like his line ups and I think he needed a real offensive mind.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:44 PM - Weezy: Problem is there’s no one I can think of that’s better
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:44 PM - The Showtime Mamba: We should feel like we can still win. Down by ten in an away game does not help though.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:44 PM - Weezy: Wow that was pathetic effort on our part
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:45 PM - Cookie: Just need Melo to make a few 3’s
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:45 PM - ElginTheGreat: I think Vogel can still work as a head coach but he needs to strengthen his staff.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:45 PM - OX1947: Lakers defense has turned into pure garbage
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:45 PM - karacha: somehow i am not feeling it. we don't seem to have the energy for that run
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:45 PM - Weezy: Ball don’t lie
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:45 PM - Khmrp: dont see much can be done to fix this
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:46 PM - Weezy: Nice steal by Russ
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:47 PM - The Showtime Mamba: What is the best NBA team in terms of a complete coaching staff? It seems so many people hire idiots or frat buddies and say I dare you to replace me.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:47 PM - Cookie: Just give it to Melo in the corner
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:48 PM - Weezy: Man, we’re about to be sub-.500

 

Nov 19, 2021 at 6:48 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Missed the game. Probably a good thing
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:48 PM - Weezy: depressing
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:48 PM - Cookie: That should have been a charge
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:48 PM - Khmrp: bud won chip with bucks but most critics say hes not a good coach
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:48 PM - Cookie: Ball don’t lie
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:49 PM - Cookie: I don’t think Bud is a good coach
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:49 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Going to be a long season.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:49 PM - Khmrp: there u go cookie
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:49 PM - Weezy: Well, Im gonna go enjoy Friday night, if we win I’ll watch the replay. Goodnight folks
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:49 PM - karacha: yeah, we're done
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:49 PM - Khmrp: i think most say same bout vogel
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:49 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Milwaukee head coach?
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:49 PM - LaVarBallsDad: He's good
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:49 PM - karacha: "if we win" nice one, weezy. anyway, good night!
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:49 PM - Cookie: AD can’t even take Horford to the paint
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:49 PM - OX1947: Budz took a inferior Hawks team to a 1 seed didn't he?
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:50 PM - VincePT: "Lebron save us is done" now onto "Nunn save us"?
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:50 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Yes. He's good. Very good X's and O's
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:50 PM - Khmrp: couldnt take djones jr so horford is expected
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:50 PM - karacha: something needs to change here, i don't know what
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:50 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Snyder is good, Carlisle, etc.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:51 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I remember with the last Kobe championship teams we could coast up to this point, turn it on and just close those gaps. RIP Kobe.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:51 PM - Khmrp: n thise hawks never got past 2nd rd
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:51 PM - OX1947: Lakers are mentally unable to play 48 min of basketball the right way
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:51 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Frank isn't top tier. He's decent
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:51 PM - OX1947: Why? No clue.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:51 PM - LaVarBallsDad: IMO
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:51 PM - Manve77: nice WB
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:51 PM - Khmrp: russ shooting ft like his 3pter
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:51 PM - Khmrp: horribly
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:51 PM - karacha: changes need to be made. anyway guys, nice chatting with you. i am out
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:52 PM - Cookie: Vogel needs an O coach. We didn’t get one.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:52 PM - Pioneer10: This team fit is terrible. They have 3 guys who all like to drive with no no shooters who are good defenders
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:52 PM - Manve77: sick of all the iso plays
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:52 PM - OX1947: Offense isn't the issue. It's the focus. It's s*** on both ends. They don't play 48 min

 

Nov 19, 2021 at 6:52 PM - Cookie: No box out.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:52 PM - ElginTheGreat: I agree that it starts with focus and effort.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:53 PM - OX1947: They don't box out, their fundamentals are s***. That's a coaching problem
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:53 PM - Khmrp: offense is the problem
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:53 PM - Cookie: 3 Lakers there and Boston gets the ball
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:53 PM - Pioneer10: They gave up all their dirty work players to get theira star who doesn't fit in the modem NBA
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:53 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Rondo hated Carlisle, bit of an ego battle to the death.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:53 PM - Khmrp: was problem last yr, they were ranked at the botom 3
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:53 PM - OX1947: When your team isn't executing the funds, that's the coach not taking care of the basics
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:53 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I respect Carlisle.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:53 PM - Pioneer10: Carlisle is a great coach
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:53 PM - OX1947: Carlisle is an a** clown
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:54 PM - Cookie: But these players know the fundamentals. So is it really the coaches fault?
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:54 PM - Manve77: nobody can get a rebound?
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:54 PM - ElginTheGreat: We needed to bring in a real offensive mind to make these pieces fit. We don’t have that and it shows.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:54 PM - OX1947: Knowing and executing them are two different things
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:54 PM - Pioneer10: Don't blame Vogel for this terrible team construction
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:54 PM - OX1947: They don't box out
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:54 PM - ElginTheGreat: Also doesn’t help that Vogel has weird rotations.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:55 PM - OX1947: They don't run pick and rolls with consistency with players who can shoot and score at the rim
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:55 PM - Cookie: I know but if you know something and just choose not to do it, who’s fault is that.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:55 PM - Pioneer10: You get rid of guys like AC, KCP, Kuzma who if their offense if off will still fight on defense
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:55 PM - ElginTheGreat: We benched AD for way too long.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:55 PM - Manve77: AD got lazy on D this year...and last year too
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:55 PM - The Showtime Mamba: We are playing like the quintessential expect to win, superstar team that does not play with the heart to win tight games.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:55 PM - Pioneer10: For guys who shrink like violets if their not making shots
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:55 PM - OX1947: Lakers have 8 games left to reach game 25. After that, there are no more excuses.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:56 PM - Khmrp: but vogel can be blamed for not understanding or knowing how to utilize players he has
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:56 PM - Cookie: Yes he can
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:56 PM - ElginTheGreat: We’ve got like 5 wins tops right now with our team last year with LeBron injured.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:56 PM - Khmrp: guaranteed lineup shuffling will be there till end of season even if every 1 healthy
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:56 PM - Pioneer10: Yeah just create team who don't play modern NBa and then blame the coach for not figuing it out
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:57 PM - Exonyte: we need haren
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:57 PM - Cookie: I blame AD and Bron for wanting Russ more than anything. He’s a terrible fit.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:57 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Harden shooting twenty eight percent today but sixteen from sixteen from free throws. The beautiful game.

 

Nov 19, 2021 at 6:57 PM - Pioneer10: That's fair cookie
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:57 PM - ElginTheGreat: We barely made the playoffs and got embarrassed by the Suns with that defense. I think we could’ve made a better than Russ but I don’t blame them for not running it back either.
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:57 PM - Exonyte: Only one man can turn this team around
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:58 PM - Exonyte: And his name is Haren. James Haren
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:58 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Hello I’m in a beach checking in
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:58 PM - Cookie: Harden is not coming through that door and nobody wants him here anyhow
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:59 PM - Khmrp: umm 3 or 4 players vogel were given shot 38% or better from 3s last season
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:59 PM - KareemtheGreat33: Horrible time to check the score lol
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:59 PM - Khmrp: isnt 3pt shooting modern nba?
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:59 PM - Cookie: Go back to the sand Kareem
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:59 PM - Pioneer10: Those shooters don't play defense. There's a reason these guys were on the minimum
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:59 PM - ElginTheGreat: Guys would hate Harden more than Russ
Nov 19, 2021 at 6:59 PM - Khmrp: so what ubsaid modern bball
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:00 PM - Khmrp: modern bball is lil def n bunch of 3s
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:00 PM - Cookie: 44 rebounds to 30 for us.
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:00 PM - Pioneer10: U need 3 and D guys look at clippers gs and toronto
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:00 PM - Manve77: this team doesn't need harden or russ
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:00 PM - Manve77: shooters and defense men
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:01 PM - ElginTheGreat: We can’t rebound. We can’t defend. We don’t give 48 mins of effort.
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:01 PM - Khmrp: if vogel can make things work with he got hes not worthy of being a hc
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:01 PM - Cookie: Clippers suck right now. Just like us
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:01 PM - Pioneer10: Guys who can switch in D and hit 3s. Lakers went with an aging PG who can't shoot and tried to compensate by getting shooters who don't play defense
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:01 PM - Khmrp: his offense was horrible too as a magic hc
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:01 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Exactly
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:01 PM - Exonyte: we could've won this game
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:02 PM - Exonyte: just needed a couple timely westbrook 3s
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:02 PM - ElginTheGreat: There’s plenty of blame to go around for the crap show we are seeing out there.
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:02 PM - OX1947: Clippers don't have Kawhi, they have an excuse
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:02 PM - OX1947: Lakers suck with lebron, without lebron, health, without health
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:02 PM - Cookie: We didn’t have LeBron and 4 other guys
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:02 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Reality is this team isn't very good
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:03 PM - LaVarBallsDad: "so far"
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:03 PM - Ceteris21: AD will say at the end of the game we are terrible it's not good enough and turn up to play like that
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:04 PM - Ceteris21: Too soon to tank?
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:04 PM - Khmrp: ad did ok today

 

Nov 19, 2021 at 7:04 PM - Cookie: AD was active the first quarter then disappeared.
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:04 PM - Khmrp: tank for what? we owe our pick to nop
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:04 PM - Ceteris21: OK isn't good enough for what he's supposed to be
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:05 PM - Ceteris21: Tank to save miles on LeBron
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:05 PM - Exonyte: This team needs toughness
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:05 PM - Cookie: Baze can’t even make layups in garbage time
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:05 PM - Khmrp: better than the guy that gets paid more than him tho
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:05 PM - Exonyte: And a real coach like Byron to teach it to them
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:05 PM - Exonyte: /s
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:05 PM - Khmrp: westbrick makes more than bron n ad
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:05 PM - Khmrp: truly sickening
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:05 PM - Cookie: There’s no saving LeBron anymore. He’s old and not going to get younger
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:06 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I hate the Clippers
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:06 PM - Ceteris21: So how are pundits still saying lakers are the best in their conference
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:06 PM - Khmrp: who still says that?
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:07 PM - Cookie: They aren’t. Everyone is saying GSW
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:07 PM - Ceteris21: Jalen was saying they are if LeBron is healthy
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:07 PM - Exonyte: When the rockets had westbrook, I used to visit a rockets forum occasionally and saw how they felt about him
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:07 PM - Khmrp: pundits should be debating if this team can even make playoffs at this rate
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:08 PM - Exonyte: when we signed him this summer and everyone on this forum was excited, i was like "oh boy, they'll see..."
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:08 PM - Khmrp: i certainly wasn't excited
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:08 PM - svtzr: How'd we play, I missed the game
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:09 PM - Cookie: You were hardly alone Exonyte. I didn’t like the trade along with most of the board.
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:09 PM - Khmrp: i even said it was scrary just seeing the teade rumors
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:09 PM - Khmrp: ttade
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:09 PM - Ceteris21: I don't think we are making the playoffs and even if we do it will be a waste of time and energy
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:09 PM - Cookie: I don’t know what forum you were reading
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:09 PM - Khmrp: cant u jusge by the score svtr?
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:10 PM - Cookie: Good first quarter. Stunk after that svtzr
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:10 PM - svtzr: Looks like we fell apart in the second and third again
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:10 PM - svtzr: I just wanted to know why
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:10 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Yep. I have to see what our draft situation is this year
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:10 PM - Cookie: No defense. Stagnant offense. No boxing out etc.
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:10 PM - Ceteris21: I was excited by the russ trade because I thought scoring was our problem oh well
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:11 PM - Khmrp: so the normal stuff lol

 

Nov 19, 2021 at 7:11 PM - The Showtime Mamba: And they were scoring on us and shooting 3's till the end. Stay classy.
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:11 PM - svtzr: By looking at the box score, both westbrook and THT seem to have suffered from Lebron coming back and the ball being more in his hands
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:11 PM - Cookie: But Russ can’t shot Ceteris21. Why did you think he’d help with scoring?
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:11 PM - Ceteris21: If @Cookie is like this then you know its bad
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:11 PM - svtzr: There it is, we got out rebounded by 64 to 38
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:12 PM - Khmrp: defense sucked too not just rebs
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:12 PM - Cookie: Yes we got killed after the first quarter on the boards. Actually did ok on turnovers
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:12 PM - svtzr: They also have quite a number of more free throws 38 to 24
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:13 PM - Ceteris21: He's been averaging triple doubles for a long time and is explosive
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:14 PM - Cookie: Yes but he’s never shot a good 3 point percentage
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:14 PM - svtzr: Did we play a rondo and westbrook lineup
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:14 PM - Cookie: And he’s not that explosive anymore
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:15 PM - Exonyte: As long as he's averaging close to a triple double, we can beat any team
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:15 PM - Cookie: We played, THT with Bron, AD and Wes. It was not a good lineup. Then we had AD on the bench forever in the second quarter
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:15 PM - Exonyte: doesn't matter if he has a high usage rate or camps under the basket
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:15 PM - Khmrp: russ triple dubs mean little to winning
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:16 PM - Cookie: I agree with that Khmrp
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:16 PM - Khmrp: his reb n assit come from him ignoring his man on def n forcing passes for TO
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:17 PM - Cookie: Night guys. This was a bad game tonight
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:17 PM - Ceteris21: I think a better offence can bring the best in russ and limit the hit on the bad plays
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:18 PM - Khmrp: unfortunately vogel ain't up to that task
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:18 PM - Exonyte: we need haren
Nov 19, 2021 at 7:19 PM - Ceteris21: Some difficult questions need to be asked in private and in public too

 

Nov 21, 2021 2:55 PM - Cookie: DJ starting. Let’s see if that makes any difference. At least we aren’t running THT with the starters,
Nov 21, 2021 3:05 PM - karacha: Early game today! Great opportunity for us to lose against a horrible team! Let's go!
Nov 21, 2021 3:06 PM - Cookie: Lol. That’s the spirit
Nov 21, 2021 3:06 PM - karacha: Frankly, I might admit I was wrong about starting AD at the 5. I insisted on this since pre-season. But it might actually be better to go with 2 bigs, bring THT off the bench...
Nov 21, 2021 3:07 PM - karacha: But let's see several games first, to decide what's better. AD = most minutes at the 5, but start big. Yay/Nay?
Nov 21, 2021 3:08 PM - karacha: Russ/Best Shooter & Defender/Bron/AD/DJ. THT, Melo, Reaves, Dwight, whoever can shoot off the bench.
Nov 21, 2021 3:08 PM - Cookie: I don’t really have a problem with starting AD at the 5 but I don’t think his body will last. I Certainly don’t want THT playing along our big three
Nov 21, 2021 3:09 PM - Weezy: Bradley continuing to start is baffling
Nov 21, 2021 3:09 PM - karacha: Well, AD says one of the problems on D might have something to do with him starting at the 5, so we'll see.
Nov 21, 2021 3:09 PM - Weezy: Vogel has issues
Nov 21, 2021 3:09 PM - karacha: Bradly should be glued to the bench and so should Blaze if he doesn't figure it out ASAP
Nov 21, 2021 3:10 PM - Cookie: No way I want AB to start though. Guys useless out there
Nov 21, 2021 3:10 PM - karacha: Russ/Duke/THT/Reaves and Monk when we really need scoring is enough.
Nov 21, 2021 3:10 PM - Weezy: Just start Ellington
Nov 21, 2021 3:10 PM - karacha: I agree 100%
Nov 21, 2021 3:11 PM - karacha: Half of these crazy rotations don't work at all. Our biggest problem might actually be that. Stick with the best rotations, get rid of some players if they can't make it, build chemistry
Nov 21, 2021 3:12 PM - Weezy: I’d be good with waiving Bradley and giving Johnson a chance. Or Ennis. We need some size and defense
Nov 21, 2021 3:13 PM - karacha: I think I got on everyone's nerves advocating for Ennis so much, but... I had to. But we're cheap, don't want to give him a guaranteed contract.
Nov 21, 2021 3:13 PM - Cookie: We need Reaves back which is crazy considering who we have on our team.
Nov 21, 2021 3:14 PM - karacha: Russ should take more of those mid-range jumpers around the FT line
Nov 21, 2021 3:14 PM - karacha: my god, that D... wtf are we doing? but they missed
Nov 21, 2021 3:15 PM - karacha: bron plays 0 D. the rest watching as the opposing player grabs the board
Nov 21, 2021 3:15 PM - Weezy: We have to hope the returns of Ariza, Reaves and Nunn matter. Ariza brings that size/defense, Reaves for obvious reasons, and Nunn so rondo never plays again
Nov 21, 2021 3:16 PM - Weezy: Russ hasn’t touched rim yet
Nov 21, 2021 3:16 PM - Weezy: What a pass from lebron to AD
Nov 21, 2021 3:17 PM - Cookie: Didn’t he already make a shot
Nov 21, 2021 3:17 PM - Cookie: Made 2
Nov 21, 2021 3:17 PM - OX1947: imagine how many 3 flies up games AD would win
Nov 21, 2021 3:18 PM - Weezy: Yes, and they were clean swishes
Nov 21, 2021 3:18 PM - Cookie: Oh ok.
Nov 21, 2021 3:20 PM - Weezy: Mmmmgoodtymez
Nov 21, 2021 3:20 PM - Weezy: Friggin Billy Mac
Nov 21, 2021 3:20 PM - Cookie: Fresh snow
Nov 21, 2021 3:21 PM - Weezy: THT In, THT scores
Nov 21, 2021 3:21 PM - OX1947: HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

 

Nov 21, 2021 at 3:21 PM - karacha: So, this looks better. Just need to glue AB to the bench somehow
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:21 PM - OX1947: mmmmmmmgoodtymez
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:21 PM - OX1947: hahahahahahahahahhaahhaha
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:21 PM - Weezy: Lol
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:21 PM - Cookie: Cut him and he wouldn’t be able to play.
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:21 PM - karacha: well, that's an option
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:22 PM - Cookie: It’s one of our better options. Don’t give Vogel a choice
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:22 PM - OX1947: AHHHHH, if THT had made that he would be Steph Tucker
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:23 PM - Weezy: We give up too many open threes
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:23 PM - Cookie: We give up too much of everything lately
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:23 PM - Weezy: This isn’t 1994 where that’s the smart choice, you have to guard that
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:24 PM - OX1947: ah, 1994. the old days
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:24 PM - Weezy: Maybe Vogel thinks it’s 1994
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:25 PM - OX1947: where all my sports teams sucked giant elephant balls but high school was fun
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:25 PM - karacha: someone tell him
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:26 PM - Weezy: It was a good year though
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:26 PM - Cookie: Shooting 62% and it’s a tight game.
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:26 PM - OX1947: with Melo in now, it aint gonna get better on D
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:27 PM - Weezy: Man, Melo could have rings with this franchise. How dumb was that Darko pick. The kind of move that literally sets your franchise back decades
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:28 PM - Weezy: THT you gotta make that
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:28 PM - OX1947: how do you miss that lay up?
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:28 PM - OX1947: the back of your hand is touching the front of the rim
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:30 PM - Weezy: Bunch of weak foul calls so far
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:30 PM - Cookie: Yes that one was lame.
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:31 PM - karacha: Russ doing very well today. I feel he's improved lately
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:31 PM - karacha: The biggest thing is that he cut the TOs
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:32 PM - Weezy: Lol THT
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:32 PM - OX1947: THT thinks he's in a circus
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:32 PM - Cookie: Should have been a foul
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:33 PM - Cookie: Russ you are way inside
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:33 PM - Weezy: Meloooooo
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:33 PM - karacha: can always count on m37o
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:34 PM - Weezy: THT is..not having a good game so far
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:34 PM - Cookie: Thank god
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:34 PM - Weezy: Ellington SPLASH

 

Nov 21, 2021 at 3:34 PM - Cookie: So many open threes
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:34 PM - Cookie: Nice pass to Duke
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:34 PM - OX1947: I can't believe Crypto.com paid 700 million just to put their name on the arena
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:35 PM - OX1947: the cost of arenas and owning them cost that much in certain areas
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:35 PM - karacha: duke's stroke from the corner is perfection
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:36 PM - karacha: tht will be fine, he just needs to calm down a little. he had good opportunities, wasn't able to finish under the basket
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:38 PM - Weezy: Yeah I never really worry about THT, kid is still 20
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:39 PM - Cookie: Close
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:39 PM - Weezy: I’m sure Jackson meant to do that. Not like he’s just a horrific shooter
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:39 PM - Cookie: Good grief
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:40 PM - Weezy: If we lose this game Vogel should be fired. I’m serious
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:40 PM - OX1947: Lakers are not good. I mean, it's almost embarassing how not good they are
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:40 PM - Weezy: Can’t be losing to friggin Detroit
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:42 PM - Weezy: This is comical
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:42 PM - Cookie: Nice rebounding Dwight
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:42 PM - Weezy: No effort on D, no effort on rebounding, idiotic turnovers
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:43 PM - lakerjones: Vogel looks frustrated
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:43 PM - Weezy: I’d be pissed
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:43 PM - karacha: don't you just love when you have 4 guys in the paint, they have 1. and that 1 grabs the offensive rebound. nice effort, truly.
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:44 PM - lakerjones: I see them trying on D. The sad thing is they are just horrible at it
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:44 PM - LaVarBallsDad: I'm close to tuning out the season.
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:44 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Give it 30 games.
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:44 PM - lakerjones: Except for AD
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:44 PM - karacha: basically, the main problem this year isn't necessarily the quality of players (they are mostly ok). or even fit, although ti could be better. it's the damn lack of effort.
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:45 PM - karacha: they are sleepwalking this season
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:45 PM - karacha: and that is the most frustrating aspect for any fan. like how can you not get the rebound with 4 guys in/around the paint?!
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:46 PM - OX1947: I don't think it's Vogel unless they've tuned him out but he never did anything to tuned them out
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:47 PM - lakerjones: Where is AD btw
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:47 PM - Weezy: Vogel isn’t the right coach for this group
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:47 PM - karacha: ox, i honestly don't know what it is. but the lack of effort, energy and focus is visible. you agree?
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:47 PM - Weezy: He’s a good coach, just not for this group
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:47 PM - OX1947: wow, ok
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:47 PM - lakerjones: Dwight for three!
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:47 PM - karacha: TF?
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:48 PM - OX1947: now we know for sure Vogel isnt coaching this team

 

Nov 21, 2021 at 3:48 PM - LaVarBallsDad: ROFL
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:48 PM - karacha: maybe they need Larry Brown to light the fire under them
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:48 PM - Weezy: If you don’t have an actual offense you’re going to end up with Dwight threes I guess
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:48 PM - lakerjones: Lol!
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:48 PM - Weezy: Haha Larry brown would have a heart attack and die on the court coaching this team
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:49 PM - lakerjones: Very true
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:49 PM - karacha: considering he's what... 81-82? he probably would
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:49 PM - OX1947: Larry Brown would do a press conference 4 months in and talk about why Lebron doesn't focus on the last 20 min of practice. And then Lebron would blame it on society and then Larry Brown would get fired the next day
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:49 PM - Cookie: Lol
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:49 PM - karacha: Phil would punch everyone in the chest
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:50 PM - karacha: there is no great coach for this group. they don't care one bit
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:50 PM - lakerjones: Melo!!
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:50 PM - Weezy: MELO 4 point play!
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:50 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Nice
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:50 PM - OX1947: hey, we still have 2020, right?
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:50 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Maybe he'll hear up and win this game for us
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:50 PM - karacha: m3lo and dwight showed up
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:50 PM - Cookie: Yes a coach can’t make players care. That comes from within
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:50 PM - lakerjones: Yeah they did
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:50 PM - LaVarBallsDad: And then go cold for another stretch of games
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:51 PM - OX1947: and 2010...2009.....2000-2002.....shall I go on? there are alot more
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:51 PM - Weezy: Come on AD, really?
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:51 PM - OX1947: 3 lakers, and a box out and one a****** still gets the rebound? is this real life?
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:52 PM - OX1947: AGAIN
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:52 PM - Weezy: I see why AD doesn’t want to play center…
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:52 PM - lakerjones: Nice feed
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:52 PM - LaVarBallsDad: This would be a good tanking team
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:52 PM - karacha: i have no problem with not winning it all. i mean, it's impossible to always win... but for the love of god, show some heart. they are standing around, not playing any d, not rebounding. probably thinking how they are just going to turn it on... you know, IF they make the playoffs
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:52 PM - lakerjones: AD slumping right now
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:52 PM - lakerjones: On D
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:52 PM - Cookie: I see AD doesn’t care.
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:53 PM - lakerjones: Yeah he started well but looks lethargic after sitting
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:53 PM - karacha: OX saaying exactly what I was saying earlier. we have everyone in the paint, but not getting the rebound.
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:53 PM - Weezy: Only 1 team can win it all every season, that leaves 29 fanbases disappointed if that’s the only goal. You can’t win every year, but yes, I want a competitive team
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:53 PM - Weezy: Play hard and I’m happy.

 

Nov 21, 2021 at 3:54 PM - OX1947: I feel molested with used snow
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:54 PM - karacha: fat shaq was a hard worker compared to these dudes. with some exceptions, of course.
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:54 PM - lakerjones: Lol
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:54 PM - Cookie: Lol Ox
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:54 PM - lakerjones: Dwight back for energy
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:54 PM - OX1947: and fumbling the pass, cant forget that
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:55 PM - LaVarBallsDad: How do you allow 53 points to the Pistons ? Goodness
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:55 PM - LaVarBallsDad: In the first half
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:55 PM - Weezy: AD wtf
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:55 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Lmao
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:55 PM - Weezy: Russ WTF
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:55 PM - lakerjones: No call?
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:55 PM - Cookie: AD wtf
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:55 PM - LaVarBallsDad: That's normal for Russ
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:55 PM - Weezy: THT makes a layup, yay
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:56 PM - lakerjones: That was at least a defensive interference
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:56 PM - lakerjones: On Russ’s drive. Guy hit the rim
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:56 PM - LaVarBallsDad: If we scrape out 2 wins out of this road trip, I'll take it.
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:57 PM - lakerjones: Yeah I’d take that
Nov 21, 2021 at 3:57 PM - karacha: as i said earlier, i'll take 50% ball in the first 20 games, but the problems are glaring. i'd like to see some improvementi n the next 20
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:00 PM - lakerjones: Can’t get those boards
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:00 PM - OX1947: fundamentals
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:00 PM - OX1947: this team doesn't fix that, they are toast way before the season is over
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:00 PM - Weezy: We suck at zone
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:01 PM - lakerjones: Zone with two bigs leaves shooters open
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:01 PM - lakerjones: Agree Ox
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:01 PM - Cookie: Nobody even tries to close out.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:02 PM - OX1947: this many vets who aren't doing the funds.....will have no funs
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:02 PM - lakerjones: What I said about zone and two bigs
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:02 PM - Weezy: Why do teams pass like prime Duncan spurs against us
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:02 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Lmao
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:02 PM - OX1947: because they run the funds while the lakers look like they have the runs
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:02 PM - karacha: at least russ has 10/3/3 with 0 turnovers, so he definitely improved in that category. well, i guess his shooting % is getteing better too. slowly.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:02 PM - LaVarBallsDad: THT struggling
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:02 PM - Weezy: Lol I see, that checks out

 

Nov 21, 2021 at 4:03 PM - Manve77: 3 3 3 3
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:03 PM - Cookie: They don’t miss
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:03 PM - lakerjones: Russ has been playing D
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:03 PM - OX1947: Russell Westbrook will go down as the greatest empty stats player in the history of sports. ALL sports
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:03 PM - Weezy: Oh boy
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:03 PM - lakerjones: But not that time yikes
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:04 PM - Cookie: Please cover shooters
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:04 PM - lakerjones: Embarrassing
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:04 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Let's go!!!
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:04 PM - Weezy: LOL
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:04 PM - Weezy: Dwight player of the game for us
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:04 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Half this team might be gone by the trade deadline
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:04 PM - lakerjones: Dwight the best three point shooter we have
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:04 PM - Manve77: nobody protecting the 3
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:04 PM - LaVarBallsDad: And Frank
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:04 PM - Weezy: This is honestly pathetic
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:05 PM - Cookie: Dwight for 3
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:05 PM - karacha: i can't take this anymore. don't know about you guys, but i am running out of patience
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:05 PM - lakerjones: Yeah that was pathetic in terms of D
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:05 PM - OX1947: teams who play zone and have no fundmentals is like someone running away from a fight but still talking s*** while they are running away
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:05 PM - Manve77: 68 from pistons in a half...
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:05 PM - Weezy: We gave up SIXTY EIGHT points to Detroit
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:05 PM - karacha: i can't watch this team anymore. i'd rather watch a non-contender with players who give a damn
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:05 PM - Manve77: isn't Vogel a D-minded coach? LOL
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:05 PM - lakerjones: Seems like an unfixable sitch
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:05 PM - karacha: but hey, Dwight is gitting threes.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:05 PM - Weezy: Oh my patience is gone. If the team doesn’t care why should I?
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:05 PM - Cookie: The trouble is none of these guys make any money. We are t gouts get anything by trading vet minimum guys
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:06 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Things is Frank's defense requires multiple error type plays. These guys don't make multiplele efforts
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:06 PM - svtzr: Russ has been good
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:06 PM - KobeJeterKaep: Lottery team.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:06 PM - karacha: i might just start ckecking scores if we don't win this game. it's not worth it, honestly. why should we give a damn?
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:06 PM - svtzr: Lebron has been lazy in the zone and a bit careless with the ball, making late and bad offence
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:06 PM - lakerjones: Yeah Russ has been good with a couple exceptions. It just doesn’t seem to matter sadly
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:07 PM - OX1947: in 18 months, the lakers will have 80 million in money coming off the books with a 29 year old AD. I dont know about you guys and gal, but im excited

 

Nov 21, 2021 at 4:07 PM - svtzr: THT has also made a few errors that young ones do
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:07 PM - LaVarBallsDad: But whatever. Team is horrible. This is what LBJ and AD wanted. They can real with the criticism and losses
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:07 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Deal
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:07 PM - ElginTheGreat: Team has mailed it in.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:07 PM - Weezy: If I didn’t see LeBron playing I wouldn’t think he was playing, he’s been invisible after early in the 1st
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:07 PM - LaVarBallsDad: I hope they get hammered in the media
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:07 PM - karacha: ox, i will be excited in 2023 too.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:07 PM - OX1947: when THT missed that lay up, his focus went the way of Dwifht Howard's hand strength catching a bounce pass
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:07 PM - Weezy: I want Zach LaVine
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:08 PM - Weezy: Too bad it doesn’t line up and Chicago is damn good now
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:08 PM - OX1947: Bulls are one superstar away from having a shot at winning it all
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:08 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Russ was a colossal error.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:08 PM - karacha: i will ask cookie to collect our wmcs and post them in the doomsday thread.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:08 PM - OX1947: if Embiid ever requests a trade, they would be set
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:09 PM - ElginTheGreat: We are a dumpster fire.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:09 PM - OX1947: ive never seen a dumpster fire last 3 weeks. this is a california fire in 2007 in San Diego
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:09 PM - karacha: we should give ad to the bulls for free. then i'll have a team to watch with him, lavine, eagle and lonzo. lol
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:10 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Yep. Let's let's Fiz take over and it will get much worse
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:10 PM - ElginTheGreat: Ox - good point
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:10 PM - ElginTheGreat: I’m not sure who they can bring in but the answer isn’t on our current bench.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:11 PM - ElginTheGreat: Dwight’s threes were probably our best offense
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:11 PM - Weezy: I’ve seen Gentry suggests, meh, I dunno
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:12 PM - ElginTheGreat: I wouldn’t mind Gentry as an assistant.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:12 PM - Weezy: I don’t see any good options, but they’ve quit on Vogel
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:12 PM - ElginTheGreat: Step up from Fizdale
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:12 PM - ElginTheGreat: Yeah. They’ve definitely quit on Vogel which is a shame.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:12 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Gentry took over in Sac
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:12 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Walton was fired today
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:13 PM - Cookie: Didn’t Gentry Get promoted two temporary coach of the kings
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:13 PM - ElginTheGreat: Oh really. Didn’t know that
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:13 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Idk. He's not an option this season which was my point
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:13 PM - ElginTheGreat: Well that’s one name off the list.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:13 PM - abeer3: thank god i don't have league pass. 42 points in the second quarter from freaking detroit?
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:14 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Yeah
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:14 PM - ElginTheGreat: Abeer - yeah it’s bad.

 

Nov 21, 2021 at 4:14 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Lol
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:14 PM - ElginTheGreat: Really bad.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:14 PM - abeer3: seriously, to think i worried i might regret not being able to see these games
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:14 PM - abeer3: holy s***
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:14 PM - ElginTheGreat: This ain’t Russ either. Team has quit
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:15 PM - abeer3: detroit's terrible. just a poorly-constructed s***-ken-stein of a basketball team
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:15 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Waiting for a woj tweet on Vogel
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:15 PM - abeer3: firing vogel won't do a damn thing
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:15 PM - LaVarBallsDad: So are we
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:15 PM - abeer3: but we have lebron and AD
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:15 PM - LaVarBallsDad: I know. They still might fire him
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:15 PM - abeer3: they have jerami grant
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:15 PM - LaVarBallsDad: An aging LBJ
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:15 PM - abeer3: JERAMI GRANT
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:16 PM - ElginTheGreat: It won’t help but I don’t think he will survive this road trip.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:16 PM - LaVarBallsDad: But yeah, I hear you
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:16 PM - abeer3: we're like...but how does one defend a jerami grant??
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:16 PM - abeer3: NOT LIKE THIS
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:16 PM - abeer3: firing vogel sends the wrong message, imo
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:16 PM - ElginTheGreat: 42 pts to Detroit. Team clearly is hanging him out to dry with little to no effort outside of Russ and Dwight
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:16 PM - svtzr: Abeer, grant hit 4 threes in that second
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:16 PM - LaVarBallsDad: So did complying and trading for Westbrook
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:17 PM - svtzr: How do you let grant do that
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:17 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Or letting Klutch have their way
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:17 PM - abeer3: i know--we've definitely been getting everyone's best shot (just look at box scores--everybody leaves grant open)
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:17 PM - svtzr: Westbrook has been the best laker this half
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:17 PM - abeer3: still...better teams don't do this
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:17 PM - LaVarBallsDad: We suck
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:17 PM - ElginTheGreat: Klutch probably has something up their sleeves.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:17 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Like???
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:18 PM - ElginTheGreat: I don’t know at this point.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:18 PM - svtzr: Lebron has played melo defence in the zone, along with monk, we just got shredded
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:18 PM - abeer3: klutch has run out of clients that can help us
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:18 PM - abeer3: lebron's d has been super disappointing
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:18 PM - ElginTheGreat: We look like crap. Change is coming in my opinion.

 

Nov 21, 2021 at 4:18 PM - abeer3: not speaking about this game, obviously, but he's capable of more
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:18 PM - svtzr: And then we rolled out an Howard, AD, Lebron, THT, WB lineup
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:18 PM - abeer3: too late, elgin
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:19 PM - svtzr: And we were relying on Westbrook hitting 3’s with Lebron pounding the ball
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:19 PM - ElginTheGreat: Team will do something and doesn’t seem to have ever had much faith in Vogel
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:19 PM - Pioneer10: this is embarrasing
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:19 PM - abeer3: svtzr: that is a weird lineup
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:19 PM - LaVarBallsDad: So be it. Ready for whatever
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:19 PM - ElginTheGreat: Abeer - oh yeah. I know. We all see issues coming from the moves we made. Didn’t think it would be this bad though.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:20 PM - abeer3: y'all...fizdale simply ain't it
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:20 PM - ElginTheGreat: The lack of effort is what is killing me.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:20 PM - OX1947: Fizdale can't coach for s***
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:20 PM - abeer3: no, i was against both the hield and russ moves, but i didn't think it would be like htis
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:20 PM - ElginTheGreat: I never liked adding Fizdale so I definitely don’t want him leading us.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:20 PM - abeer3: right, elgin: they all think someone else will defend
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:21 PM - abeer3: not watching, but defend grant with a smaller player
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:21 PM - LaVarBallsDad: I don't think anybody is suggesting Fiz? I don't want him. I still think Frank will be gone and he takes over.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:21 PM - abeer3: he can't take advantage in the post
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:21 PM - OX1947: fizdale is a nice guy who keeps it real, but cant coach as the head man
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:22 PM - abeer3: put freaking wayne ellington on grant
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:22 PM - LaVarBallsDad: When DJ went back in into the starting 5, I knew Frank was toast today.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:22 PM - abeer3: he can't get around him
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:22 PM - abeer3: honestly, the dj starting lineup wasn't as bad as fans said
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:23 PM - LaVarBallsDad: It's horrible
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:23 PM - LaVarBallsDad: IMO
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:23 PM - abeer3: i'll come back to s***post in the 4th maybe
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:23 PM - Weezy: I can’t watch this anymore
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:23 PM - OX1947: it will be over in 30 min
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:23 PM - LaVarBallsDad: Everything about this is horrible.
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:23 PM - karacha: me neither. at least now i know this wasn't all on russ. it's something else entirely. i
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:24 PM - OX1947: then i have to watch the steelers attempt to play consistent football for 60 min
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:24 PM - abeer3: wait...almost left...THEY ONLY HAVE TWO TURNOVERS?!
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:24 PM - karacha: i will leave now, but let me find a gif first
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:24 PM - Pioneer10: lol was that westbrook guarding grant there?
Nov 21, 2021 at 4:24 PM - karacha:
