Jan 28, 2022 at 5:44 PM - Cookie: Good defense there.
Jan 28, 2022 at 5:45 PM - Cookie: Good steal AB and basket.
Jan 28, 2022 at 5:46 PM - LooN3y: Bruh
Jan 28, 2022 at 5:46 PM - Cookie: Nice pass Russ. AB can’t finish
Jan 28, 2022 at 5:46 PM - Cookie: Baze no iso.
Jan 28, 2022 at 5:47 PM - LooN3y: Wow
Jan 28, 2022 at 5:47 PM - LooN3y: doesnt look too bright
Jan 28, 2022 at 5:53 PM - OX1947: This team is fundamentally damaged.
Jan 28, 2022 at 5:54 PM - OX1947: Not enough intestinal fortitude in the "leaders" of this team and those who do have the fundamentals and fortitude aren't seasoned yet
Jan 28, 2022 at 5:55 PM - OX1947: Best analogy I can think of is a broken rubiks cube. Even if you get the colors to match, it's still broken beyond repair
Jan 28, 2022 at 5:55 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Ox I will check out your podcast. I think you did one after the Phili show. I agree we are lacking something vital. Knowing we had people like Derek Fisher meant so much.
Jan 28, 2022 at 5:56 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Sometimes I think we have a Rubiks turd. No matter how much you fiddle with it, it is still a turd.
Jan 28, 2022 at 5:56 PM - OX1947: I feel bad for Gerald. I think I'm too direct and honest to the point of insulting. Dampens the mood sometimes
Jan 28, 2022 at 5:56 PM - Weezy: Good lord
Jan 28, 2022 at 5:59 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Gerald seems super nice, you have to be who you are Ox, and you are being direct and honest, not mean or negative. A spade is still a spade.
Jan 28, 2022 at 5:59 PM - OX1947: Look, we got a title out of it. At least we have that. Just sucks we may have to wait another decade for the next one unless Luka or some other star in his prime comes to LA
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:00 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Right, I just keep thinking we got a title too. LBJ has paid us off if he never does anything again, but we are not ones to accept mediocrity.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:00 PM - OX1947: Russell Westbrook may be the worst 1st ballot hall of famer ever. In sports history
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:01 PM - OX1947: I have never seen a player like him who has stats, motor and availability that reflects this much negative in a team sport
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:02 PM - OX1947: You would think a guy who drops triple dubs half the year and is always available to play would create some chemistry or momentum. Zero. Nothing.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:03 PM - OX1947: All the Lakers are is 20 point deficits with small runs and losses with sprinkle of wins against s***ty teams and a few ok teams.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:04 PM - OX1947: This team has zero heart or pride. If they played hard and lost, I'd have respect at least. But they show nothing
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:05 PM - Cookie: Russ has gotten quite a few guys open shots tonight but no one’s making them.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:05 PM - Cookie: Nice hustle Melo.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:06 PM - The Showtime Mamba: RWB please.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:06 PM - Cookie: Dumb shot Russ
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:07 PM - Cookie: I still have no idea why Dwight doesn’t get any minutes.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:07 PM - LooN3y: Russ doesn’t play with the team
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:07 PM - LooN3y: that’s the problem
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:07 PM - LooN3y: monk has been a better play maker down the stretch this season
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:08 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Only Steven Adams could tame Russ.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:08 PM - LooN3y: I mean he does get open looks for them at times but it’s just so out of r rthym
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:08 PM - LooN3y: i don’t know how to spell rhythm lol
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:09 PM - Cookie: Go back and watch. He’s got 2 or 3 wide open shots for guys in rhythm that were bricks
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:10 PM - Cookie: And that was in a row.

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 6:10 PM - Cookie: Doesn’t play defense worth a damn though
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:10 PM - svtzr: What does getting guys open shots out of rhythm mean?
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:10 PM - Khmrp: id say 90% of russ outside shots are dumb
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:11 PM - Cookie: I don’t want him taking 3’s either but he can’t go to the basket every time. He has gotten quite a few free throws this game.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:11 PM - Slick2021: Lol..svtr that's some um well I don't like russ stuff..lol
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:12 PM - Cookie: Like that Ariza basket.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:12 PM - svtzr: This is just a rubbish lineup tonight, we are missing our best player, our second best, our fourth best and our 6th best
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:12 PM - svtzr: We’re giving significant minutes to DJ and Baze the human white flag
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:12 PM - Cookie: DJ got an offensive board.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:12 PM - Slick2021: Monk has been a better playmaker down the stretch? What games are you watching
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:13 PM - Cookie: And he actually just made a free throw instead of missing
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:13 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Mitch remember deng and Mozgov. You owe us for trying to screw over jimbo before you left.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:13 PM - Cookie: Baze has been good this game actually
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:14 PM - LooN3y: Slick you think Russ is a better play maker?
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:14 PM - Cookie: Got that one to drop.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:14 PM - LooN3y: he has lost us games off turn overs from passes, shot 3pointers at crunch time where he had no reason to
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:15 PM - Slick2021: Than Monk? Yeah and any NBA analyst worth a grain of salt does too. Out if here with that nonsense man
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:15 PM - Cookie: Nice Melo
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:16 PM - Slick2021: He hasn't lost us anything. You are capping right now what games were those
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:16 PM - Cookie: Someone help DJ
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:16 PM - Cookie: Good passing
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:16 PM - Slick2021: Can we ever run a screen for Duke?
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:19 PM - Cookie: That one fan looked a little bit like Dwight
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:19 PM - Cookie: Nice Russ.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:20 PM - LooN3y: Lol I remember times back then when people at nose bleeds would cuss at the players during free throws
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:20 PM - LooN3y: I don’t think it’s allowed now tho
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:21 PM - Cookie: The players would never hear someone up there anyhow. You have to be a lot closer to the court.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:21 PM - Khmrp: of course dj comes here n his ft becomes bad again lol
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:21 PM - LooN3y: Really? I think they heard because I was in the 100 section
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:22 PM - LooN3y: and these dudes were going at it at socks
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:22 PM - LooN3y: scola
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:22 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Right I seem to remember he had improved his free throws in Brooklyn or somewhere.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:22 PM - LooN3y: it was the year after the Derek fisher screen
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:22 PM - LooN3y: I was cracking up so hard but I wouldn’t dare do that not tryna get kicked out the few times I get to go to laker games
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:23 PM - Slick2021: Was it the Wizards that had that famous heckler fan? The guy was legendary

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 6:24 PM - Cookie: AB make open shots please
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:24 PM - Cookie: That’s not a foul.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:25 PM - LooN3y: Dj should just take one for the team and clothesline bridges
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:25 PM - Cookie: Ball claps like a seal.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:25 PM - Slick2021: If Avery could shoot a lil better...
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:26 PM - Cookie: Reaves and Stanley come save us.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:26 PM - The Showtime Mamba: RWB on the burst.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:26 PM - Cookie: Nice pass Melo and finish Russ.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:26 PM - Cookie: I’m not sure we could stop a dead grandmother
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:27 PM - LooN3y: Nice can we get within 5 points
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:27 PM - Slick2021: Nobody wants to hear that Hubie...it goes against the narrative
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:27 PM - Cookie: Plumlee is dumb.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:27 PM - LooN3y: Lol it ain’t like it’s better with Russ being selfish anyways
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:28 PM - LooN3y: Damn sixers fan got banned for life
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:28 PM - Cookie: Nice Russ to the hoop
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:28 PM - LooN3y: wonder whay he said to melo
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:28 PM - LooN3y: what*
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:29 PM - Cookie: He called him a boy
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:29 PM - Cookie: Nice Melo.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:29 PM - Khmrp: phi fan also dumped popcorn on russ last yr
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:29 PM - LooN3y: He must’ve been a white dud than right
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:29 PM - Khmrp: ud think he ball out to show em
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:29 PM - Slick2021: Some MAGA stuff
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:29 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Melo with the brain disorder celebration.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:30 PM - Cookie: I thought the one guy was white but the guy with him was black.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:30 PM - LooN3y: Lol melo be doing even when we down 20
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:31 PM - Slick2021: The guys are at least fighting like pros
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:31 PM - Cookie: At least when the guys stood up to leave there was a white and black guy. I thought they were together
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:31 PM - svtzr: Nah slick that’s against the story
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:31 PM - Cookie: We can do this still
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:32 PM - Slick2021: Lol..there are black MAGA guys too out here LOL
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:32 PM - Cookie: Nice Russ
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:32 PM - svtzr: Russ 14 points in the third, Melo 10?
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:32 PM - The Showtime Mamba: RWB unstoppable, lol.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:32 PM - LooN3y: Nice

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 6:32 PM - svtzr: Well they’re the best players we have left apart from THT
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:32 PM - Cookie: Lame a** foul.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:32 PM - LooN3y: kinda needed this earlier but yeah
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:33 PM - Slick2021: Might be one of Vogel's best coaching jobs so far
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:33 PM - svtzr: Missing Lebron, AD, Monk and Nunn - argueably 4 of our best 5 players
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:34 PM - Cookie: starting DJ, was not a good Vogel move
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:34 PM - The Showtime Mamba: We have two hall of famers here. We just need one vintage hall of fame half to win.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:34 PM - LooN3y: Hell yeah
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:34 PM - LooN3y: Vogels starting line up was one of the worst I’ve ever seem
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:34 PM - svtzr: Why does Vogel hate Howard?
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:34 PM - Cookie: Reaves always getting hit.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:35 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Everybody likes the hillbilly Kobe Austin Reaves.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:35 PM - LooN3y: Give us a damn flagrant?
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:35 PM - LooN3y: ah
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:35 PM - Slick2021: I like Reaves...he's going to better than Alex in a couple of years
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:35 PM - Cookie: What’s not to like.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:35 PM - LooN3y: reaves has it much better offensively than carushow
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:36 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Reaves has better scoring and playmaking potential, a high energy player.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:36 PM - Cookie: Damn Reaves
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:36 PM - LooN3y: Lol he blew him up too much
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:36 PM - LooN3y: We*
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:36 PM - Slick2021: Alex is blessed with cat like feet for a 6'5 guy...that's a gift
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:36 PM - Cookie: Good ball movement and wide open. He needs to make that.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:37 PM - svtzr: Caruso is deceptively athletic
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:37 PM - svtzr: Reaves has higher iq
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:37 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Must be hard for Alex to buy basketball shoes then.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:37 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I kid.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:37 PM - Cookie: Almost.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:38 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Alex Caruso putting out fire with gasoline.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:38 PM - LooN3y: What kind of dumb inbound pass was that
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:38 PM - LooN3y: Good take tho
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:38 PM - Alcindor: that layup was a gimmie
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:38 PM - LooN3y: but we don’t pay 44 mil for thay
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:38 PM - The Showtime Mamba: No is your chance to show us RWB. Don't go into superfool mode.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:39 PM - LooN3y: Russ is still figuring himself out it on this team it feels like

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 6:39 PM - svtzr: He absolutely is
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:39 PM - svtzr: It’s understated how much we’ve asked him to adjust his game
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:39 PM - Cookie: Good grief. Russ scored the majority of our points that quarter but nail him for the one he misses.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:40 PM - svtzr: And at times he just looks clueless because he doesn’t know the best way to contribute
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:40 PM - OX1947: Russ must have been on here reading our stuff......nice to see some punch back
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:40 PM - svtzr: And it must be tough for his hometown fans to actively hate on him
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:40 PM - Cookie: I actually think he’s dumb svtzr.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:40 PM - LooN3y: You can’t blame us
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:40 PM - svtzr: He is dumb, I don’t mean that in a negative way
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:41 PM - LooN3y: hes from la he knows what we expect
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:41 PM - LooN3y: he grew up watching the purp n golf
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:41 PM - Cookie: How is dumb looked at in a positive way lol
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:41 PM - svtzr: He just tries his heart out and learns from experience
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:41 PM - Slick2021: Russ looks more indecisive when he's paired with Lebron. He's more assertive with AD. But Lebron is the point guard on every team he plays on. Regardless of his listed position.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:41 PM - LooN3y: Him having heart and good morale
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:41 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I hope Russ uses his prideful demeanor to win a game. He owes us one or perhaps 44 million.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:41 PM - LooN3y: is the best thing about him this season
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:41 PM - svtzr: He is a study in Will power and perseverance
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:42 PM - Cookie: I agree he always tries. Needs to try on defense too though. Which he doesn’t always do.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:42 PM - The Showtime Mamba: You were right under the rim.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:42 PM - abeer3: ok, first game i'm watching in a while, and i have thoughts
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:42 PM - Cookie: Box out.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:42 PM - svtzr: His defensive lapse are also overstated, he stays on his guy well enough, he just is dumb sometimes
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:42 PM - abeer3: 1. everyone thank melo we're not down 1000 right now
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:43 PM - svtzr: Hey Abeer! Keen to ever them
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:43 PM - LooN3y: Omg
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:43 PM - The Showtime Mamba: second that abeer.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:43 PM - Cookie: F box out
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:43 PM - LooN3y: can we guard their shooters
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:43 PM - svtzr: Hear*
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:43 PM - LooN3y: We’re getting bailed out by them missing open shots
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:43 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Sit down Plumlee you human spit cup.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:44 PM - Cookie: Nice THT.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:44 PM - abeer3: 2. THT's been defending
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:44 PM - abeer3: 3. dj is just unplayable, and it's sad/embarrassing

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 6:44 PM - The Showtime Mamba: THT makes the shot.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:44 PM - Cookie: DJ definitely is toast.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:44 PM - abeer3: 4. if ish smith wasn't having an out of body experience, we'd be ahead
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:44 PM - svtzr: Ariza what was that
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:45 PM - Cookie: Reaves missed the layup.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:45 PM - svtzr: I like that Stanley can put the ball on the floor and make something happen
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:45 PM - Cookie: Come on Stan
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:45 PM - LooN3y: I wonder if melo ever messed with melo saying “your my lil melo, son” “I am the first melo”
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:46 PM - svtzr: Even if he missed those last two shots
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:46 PM - svtzr: Abeer, agree on all points
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:46 PM - LooN3y: Hell yeah baze
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:46 PM - OX1947: Can we win a game this year we were suppose to lose, just once?
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:46 PM - Cookie: Nice Russ. Keep attacking
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:46 PM - The Showtime Mamba: damn stanley so close. Did all the work. I never remember us missing so many layups. Free throws yes, threes yes.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:46 PM - svtzr: Russ went from not being able to finish at the rim to back to 65% there
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:46 PM - LooN3y: I hope someone asks about Dwight in the post game interview
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:47 PM - Cookie: There you go Stan.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:47 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Ish tooooo damb open.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:47 PM - Juronimo: Just started watching, we're competing at leadt
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:47 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I want a win damn it.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:47 PM - Cookie: If we just box out.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:48 PM - LooN3y: Traditionally, is Stanley a PF?
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:48 PM - LooN3y: or a SF
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:48 PM - LooN3y: He looks small
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:48 PM - svtzr: Those positions are interchangeable these days
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:48 PM - svtzr: Small?
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:48 PM - LooN3y: Yeah I know
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:48 PM - Slick2021: Sf
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:48 PM - The Showtime Mamba: A SF I would say. Traditionally.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:48 PM - LooN3y: but traditionally speaking
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:48 PM - Juronimo: He's 6'6" so in this team he's A center
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:48 PM - LooN3y: just for fun lol
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:49 PM - Slick2021: Might be time to give Baze some run over Trevor
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:49 PM - abeer3: 5. my ardent love for stan and reaves will continue no matter how many shots they miss
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:49 PM - svtzr: Well historically he is a big SF 6’6” and 250-260

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 6:49 PM - abeer3: they just play hard and the right way
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:50 PM - svtzr: Agree with 5 too
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:50 PM - abeer3: 6. ariza is not so slow that if i look away and look back at the screen, i confuse him for a big
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:50 PM - abeer3: this is bad
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:51 PM - abeer3: it would be different if he had a strong base like stan, but without it, he's cooked, i'm afraid
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:51 PM - LooN3y: I just don’t understand why Dwight isn’t playing
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:51 PM - LooN3y: prob would’ve soften the terrible 1st half
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:51 PM - svtzr: Can we also admit that Russ is athletic enough to get to the rim still?
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:52 PM - svtzr: That fallacy has been doing the rounds
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:52 PM - LooN3y: Couple more games
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:52 PM - abeer3: 7. getting the full westbrook tonight, first half basically dj but as a guard and at 35X the salary, second half keeping us in it by pressuring the paint on offense
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:52 PM - LooN3y: of consistency before I can say thst
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:52 PM - Slick2021: Dwight might be to old for back to backs? Lol..even if he doesn't play much
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:52 PM - LooN3y: But it’s promising
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:52 PM - svtzr: Stan is strong
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:52 PM - LooN3y: Might be true, he has more mileage than DJ that’s for sure
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:52 PM - abeer3: stan can so play smallball 5 against backups
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:53 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Curses.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:53 PM - Cookie: Plumlee is an idiot
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:53 PM - abeer3: that one hurt--great look for melo
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:53 PM - Cookie: Come on Melo. Wide open.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:53 PM - svtzr: Man there is about 20 3pt shots in the last
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:53 PM - svtzr: Three games that Russ has set up that were great looks
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:53 PM - svtzr: Especially last game
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:53 PM - Alcindor: THT is just too amatuer
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:54 PM - LooN3y: I keep thinking the picture of randle down there next to the score is Odom
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:54 PM - Slick2021: I'd rather see Talen hack somebody instead of holding up his hands
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:54 PM - abeer3: we dug too big a hole in this one
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:54 PM - abeer3: russ needed to take that wide open three
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:54 PM - Slick2021: Good block
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:55 PM - abeer3: that's basically a TO
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:55 PM - svtzr: Yes but if he misses the three everyone grills him
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:55 PM - ElginTheGreat: Yeah. We fought hard but just didn't have enough. tonight.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:55 PM - abeer3: yeah, he needs to take and make it
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:55 PM - The Showtime Mamba: It's a crying shame.

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 6:55 PM - svtzr: Dammed if you do dammed if you don’t
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:55 PM - svtzr: He has been shooting 40% from three the last 5 games apparently
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:55 PM - abeer3: i, personally, would forgive a wide open three in rhythm
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:56 PM - abeer3: better than an early shot clock 20ft bank attempt
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:56 PM - Cookie: You are in the minority abeer. I would too.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:56 PM - Slick2021: Frank coached a solid game IMO. Could have played Dwight more than this but not bad
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:56 PM - LooN3y: Yeah but after we caught up
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:56 PM - LooN3y: i really wanted this win
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:56 PM - svtzr: We’re missing 4 of our 5 best players tonight and it’s always an uphill battle
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:57 PM - abeer3: charlotte's an over .500 team in a friday night home game
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:57 PM - LooN3y: Just for some damn confidence for our team
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:57 PM - abeer3: without lebron and AD, you're not winning this unless they relax
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:57 PM - abeer3: and they sort of did
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:57 PM - svtzr: We need to run some plays for melo to get him some open shots
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:57 PM - Cookie: I didn’t like his starting lineup. Other than that Vogel has been fine this game.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:57 PM - abeer3: except for freaking ish smith
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:57 PM - abeer3: except for freaking ish smith
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:57 PM - Slick2021: Is Bron out for the Hawks game too?
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:57 PM - abeer3: i didn't double post that
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:57 PM - LooN3y: I’d put melo as the first option
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:57 PM - abeer3: but i should have
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:57 PM - LooN3y: With everyone out
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:57 PM - abeer3: you'd think he was chris paul tonight
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:58 PM - LooN3y: imo
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:58 PM - LooN3y: it’s not totally crazy
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:58 PM - Cookie: They hope to get Bron back next game.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:58 PM - OX1947: This team should change their name to the LA Blue Balls
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:58 PM - abeer3: my only beef with vogel is ever playing dj ever ever
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:58 PM - abeer3: he's cooked
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:58 PM - abeer3: play austin at center
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:58 PM - abeer3: no dj minutes
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:58 PM - svtzr: DJ should be our Dudley
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:59 PM - LooN3y: Yeah
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:59 PM - LooN3y: dude is done
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:59 PM - karacha: this would have been such an easy win it seems... too bad

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 6:59 PM - Slick2021: This is what I mean by backing off of Russ isn't always successful
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:59 PM - Cookie: DJ should never play.
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:59 PM - abeer3: in that we send him to dallas?
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:59 PM - Alcindor: terrible D Russ
Jan 28, 2022 at 6:59 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Come on now Reaves.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:00 PM - LooN3y: Dj just needs to be the team jester/glue guy
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:00 PM - abeer3: stan missed a corner pass there, but he'll learn
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:00 PM - svtzr: Reaves is the homie
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:00 PM - Cookie: Reaves
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:00 PM - The Showtime Mamba: DJ should be our Adam Morrison.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:00 PM - abeer3: reaves is just so fun
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:00 PM - ElginTheGreat: Still fighting. Nice shot Reaves
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:00 PM - LooN3y: shoukd never touch a basketball again imo tho
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:00 PM - abeer3: good d by stan, good finish
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:01 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Reaves playing like Christopher.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:01 PM - Cookie: Melo got back cut.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:01 PM - abeer3: still not worried about reaves's shot
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:01 PM - LooN3y: Yeah I mean I just think of it as us losing
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:01 PM - Cookie: Nice Reaves
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:01 PM - LooN3y: so I don’t get so dissapointed ag the end
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:01 PM - Alcindor: there's that 3 AR
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:01 PM - LooN3y: and if we do win it’s all the sweeter
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:01 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Smooth Melo.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:02 PM - abeer3: i don't see us winning this, but if i were a charlotte fan, this is a bad night
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:02 PM - svtzr: Bridges is feeling himself too much after a block on Russ
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:02 PM - LooN3y: Man
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:02 PM - svtzr: Chill out big man, you’re a role player
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:02 PM - karacha: yeah, this is a bad showing for charlotte
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:02 PM - LooN3y: Hahah
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:02 PM - abeer3: i feel good for bridges after a rough start to his career
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:03 PM - LooN3y:
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:03 PM - LooN3y: lol at our bench laughing at bridges
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:03 PM - abeer3: but he has regrettable contract written all over him
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:03 PM - LooN3y: thahs what u get
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:03 PM - Cookie: Ball wearing 2 different color shoes.

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 7:03 PM - abeer3: look at reaves just bat that thing to keep it alive
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:04 PM - abeer3: everybody's down on THT, but i like what i've seen
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:04 PM - abeer3: damn...clean look for austin
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:04 PM - Alcindor: lol THT's floater is a flakey as all his shots
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:04 PM - svtzr: Damn it, in and out
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:04 PM - Cookie: I’ve never been down on THT and I Want to keep him.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:05 PM - abeer3: THT's just trying to fit in; tough job with his game on this roster
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:05 PM - svtzr: I’m not down on him, but to me he isn’t a star, he can be a good 6th man caliber
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:05 PM - LooN3y: Well tht he does sometimes over dribbles like a headless kitchen
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:05 PM - LooN3y: chicken*
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:05 PM - Cookie: We trade him and we are going to regret it.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:05 PM - abeer3: i thought he made a few plays on d in the first half that kept us from getting down 30
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:05 PM - Slick2021: We had some good looks served up by Russ...can't ask for much more than that from a facilitator
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:05 PM - svtzr: If he wants to be a starter he needs to become a lockdown defender
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:05 PM - LooN3y: But yeah I don’t want to let him go
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:05 PM - Alcindor: his offensive game is immature he's not bad otherwise
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:06 PM - abeer3: lock down's a lot to ask, and i think he brings a lot offensively with his ballhandling and passing
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:06 PM - svtzr: He has some jerky driving and a right hand, missing a left, a mid range and a 3
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:06 PM - abeer3: reaves miss, rozier make, game
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:06 PM - Cookie: He does some dumb stuff but EVERYONE on this team does dumb stuff.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:06 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Westbrook going to work with all of the pressure. Not easy.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:07 PM - abeer3: 6 point swing in a what's really a 4 point game
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:07 PM - svtzr: Abeer I would add the miss by melo the gsme
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:07 PM - svtzr: the shot before*
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:07 PM - svtzr: And the back door cut on him that’s another 5 point swing
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:08 PM - abeer3: yeah, that was a big one
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:08 PM - Cookie: Yes the back door hurt and that open miss.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:08 PM - svtzr: It’s a game of inches and those two swings cost us
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:08 PM - abeer3: that was a charge
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:08 PM - karacha: i still don't know how this game is so close
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:09 PM - ElginTheGreat: Wow. Terrible call
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:09 PM - Cookie: Challenge it
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:09 PM - abeer3: straight in the chest, he's moving backwards
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:09 PM - abeer3: charge
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:09 PM - abeer3: total bs

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 7:09 PM - svtzr: Melo and Westbrook went supernova in the third
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:09 PM - Slick2021: Charge all day
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:09 PM - svtzr: And since then we’ve been trading baskets more or less
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:09 PM - Cookie: It was on offensive foul.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:09 PM - LooN3y: Challenge?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:09 PM - Cookie: His arm came away from his body.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:09 PM - abeer3: if they give him the hoop here, i've lost all faith--read the rulebook. this is a pet peeve of mine
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:10 PM - Cookie: We are challenging it.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:10 PM - abeer3: hornets announcers: he's still moving. who cares? not part of the rule!
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:10 PM - abeer3: unbelievable
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:10 PM - svtzr: What? That’s nonsense!
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:10 PM - Slick2021: BS
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:10 PM - OX1947: If the Lakers played up to their talents for at least 42 min instead of 24, this would be a win
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:10 PM - Cookie: BS
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:10 PM - LooN3y: I’m watching espn
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:10 PM - ElginTheGreat: Wow. wow wow
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:11 PM - abeer3: on what planet is that a defensive foul
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:11 PM - LooN3y: theyre both saying it’s offensice
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:11 PM - LooN3y: it got overruled?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:11 PM - abeer3: just sign jerome bettis and win a ring
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:11 PM - Alcindor: THT got no cred with refs
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:11 PM - svtzr: Who’s the better player Reaves or THT?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:11 PM - abeer3: reaves>THT right now
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:11 PM - abeer3: i think THT has more room to grow
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:11 PM - Cookie: Wow Russ. Nice.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:11 PM - svtzr: Reaves for our team as a Swiss Army knife
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:12 PM - abeer3: still can't get over that terrible call
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:12 PM - LooN3y: Melos mad
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:12 PM - Cookie: I agree abeer
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:12 PM - svtzr: THT in a bigger role
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:12 PM - LooN3y: Yeah man
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:12 PM - LooN3y: ridiculous call
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:12 PM - abeer3: fully expected that
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:12 PM - abeer3: ish smith gonna bronze these shoes
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:12 PM - svtzr: Damn ish smith to hell

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 7:12 PM - Cookie: Russ is trying to win this for us.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:12 PM - Slick2021: Russ
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:12 PM - The Showtime Mamba: ish not playing like his name (ish).
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:12 PM - abeer3: wish this russ was here in the first half
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:12 PM - ElginTheGreat: There you go Russ
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:13 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Russel O 3 Brook!
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:13 PM - abeer3: lol
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:13 PM - svtzr: This is mvp level russ
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:13 PM - svtzr: he did this every game that year
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:13 PM - karacha: WTH, Russ is going nuclear
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:13 PM - Cookie: That was on Reaves.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:13 PM - Slick2021: Russ has woken up
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:13 PM - Alcindor: damn
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:13 PM - svtzr: He just isn’t that player anymore
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:13 PM - ElginTheGreat: LOL. There you go Russ
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:13 PM - abeer3: they drawing up plays to stop the force that is ish smith?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:14 PM - svtzr: He was a +40 on and off that year for OKC
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:14 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Russel playing like his ego and his ability are on level pegs.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:14 PM - svtzr: Never seen anything like it
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:14 PM - abeer3: totally with lakers twitter on that block/charge: get rid of replay if the refs don't understand the rules anyway
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:15 PM - svtzr: That’s another 3 pt swing with that call
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:15 PM - Alcindor: yeah didn't get that blocking foul
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:15 PM - karacha: Russ:
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:15 PM - OX1947: Find a way please
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:15 PM - Cookie: Yes that call could cost us the game.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:15 PM - karacha:
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:15 PM - OX1947: No more moral victories
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:15 PM - ElginTheGreat: tjhat charge was awful and will probably decide the game
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:15 PM - abeer3: i hope there's discussion about that botched replay review tomorrow
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:15 PM - abeer3: cost us the game
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:15 PM - abeer3: maybe
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:15 PM - Alcindor: they;ll send it tapes with questions
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:15 PM - karacha: Stan, 1pt game
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:16 PM - Slick2021: Not a bad 3rd option. Russ
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:16 PM - Cookie: Most points by a Laker in the second half since Kobe’s final game for Russ.

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 7:16 PM - karacha: He's a bad 3rd option, but better 1st option, LOL
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:16 PM - svtzr: Karacha I know that’s funny, but it’s true
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:16 PM - abeer3: looks like we're likely to lose by those three points
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:17 PM - svtzr: He was averaging 25/15/15 for the second half of the season in Washington as a first option
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:17 PM - karacha: Russ would play his best for OKC right now
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:17 PM - abeer3: someone tell the orlando magic that russ is a better 1st than 3rd option!
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:17 PM - Alcindor: this is where you need a Fisher
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:17 PM - svtzr: Here he just looks lost
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:17 PM - karacha: Yeah, 1st option is where it's at
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:17 PM - LooN3y: why didn’t we foul right away
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:17 PM - Slick2021: Yeah..I need someone to break down this block/charge rule. It varies from crew to crew
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:17 PM - abeer3: i liked seeing if they'd turn it over
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:17 PM - abeer3: they're young and dumb
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:17 PM - abeer3: now foul
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:17 PM - The Showtime Mamba: I love that foul.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:18 PM - abeer3: lemme guess: flagrant 2
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:18 PM - Slick2021: Flop
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:18 PM - svtzr: Get up you clown
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:18 PM - Juronimo: Lamelo trying to flop a flagrant
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:18 PM - Alcindor: Ball you faker
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:18 PM - Cookie: Reaves foul. Come on
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:18 PM - Cookie: Flop flop flop
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:18 PM - ElginTheGreat: Flop
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:18 PM - Alcindor: And the Oscar goes to.............
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:18 PM - karacha: Let's just hit that 3 and take the epic W
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:19 PM - karacha: This is EZ PZ
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:19 PM - karacha: Russ for 3?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:19 PM - abeer3: hey we boxed out
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:19 PM - svtzr: Russ for the last shot?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:19 PM - karacha: Go with 5 shooters here?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:19 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Man if Melo could win it with a 3?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:19 PM - Cookie: I’d give it to Melo for 3
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:19 PM - karacha: I don't go for the 2, screw that. Win here or lose
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:19 PM - ElginTheGreat: I love Stan. Great box out
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:19 PM - Alcindor: ok sit THT

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 7:19 PM - abeer3: let's get the duke out there on the wing and let melo screen for russ
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:19 PM - svtzr: Or do we run a melo
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:19 PM - Slick2021: Shot at a win coming up. Can we draw up a good play?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:19 PM - Juronimo: Yep go for the win
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:20 PM - karacha: Go with Duke and whoever else can shoot. Melo's 3 would be epic
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:20 PM - The Showtime Mamba: If we win I would have to be careful not to throw my laptop in the air.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:20 PM - LooN3y: Hell yeab
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:20 PM - abeer3: yeah, cookie: stan's the man
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:20 PM - ElginTheGreat: Melo for the shot but they will give Russ the look. He's hot so who knows
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:20 PM - Alcindor: we don't have the 3 pt shooters better go for OT
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:20 PM - karacha: I won't be mad if it's Russ and he misses.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:20 PM - Alcindor: Russ is due for a miss
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:20 PM - abeer3: sorry, meant elgin
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:20 PM - Cookie: Love Stan.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:20 PM - karacha: Russ misses.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:20 PM - karacha: It's OK
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:20 PM - Alcindor: due for several misses
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:20 PM - svtzr: You can’t be mad, he put us in this position
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:21 PM - abeer3: eh, i'm ok with that shot
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:21 PM - Weezy: No moral victories at this point, sorry
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:21 PM - ElginTheGreat: I'm good with that one too
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:21 PM - karacha: It's fine. I don't know how we were in it. Russ was great. This should boost his confidence
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:21 PM - Weezy: Should have set up a Melo 3
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:21 PM - Cookie: Oh well. That charge call killed us.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:21 PM - Alcindor: Gee didn't see that coming FFS
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:21 PM - karacha: Yeah, Melo 3 would have been ideal
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:21 PM - Weezy: Props to Russ for a great performance though
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:21 PM - ElginTheGreat: Charge cost us the game iIMO
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:21 PM - Cookie: It was a good shot.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:21 PM - abeer3: i would have preferred making the hornets defense make choices there, but if iso was the call, that was the shot
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:21 PM - LooN3y: Melo 3 but
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:21 PM - The Showtime Mamba: Did not like the play. Gave it to Melo who they thought would shoot it straight back to Russ who dribbled and reset. Just not a real inbound play.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:22 PM - LooN3y: yeah bitter sweet loss
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:22 PM - Slick2021: I'm not mad at that. We didn't run a great play though, still good game overall from Frank
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:22 PM - LooN3y: its a loss but we played with heart

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 7:22 PM - LooN3y: we need this every game
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:22 PM - abeer3: and yes, let's talk more about the horrible block call
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:22 PM - abeer3: 3 pt loss
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:22 PM - Slick2021: Yeah that call was terrible
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:23 PM - ElginTheGreat: I thought we would get run out of the gym tonight so its hard for me to be upset especially with that awful call
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:23 PM - svtzr: Just a handful of small changes in outcomes and we win this
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:23 PM - Cookie: I wanted this one after that crappy start.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:23 PM - The Showtime Mamba: f*** it Westbrook Hero of the game. Vogels use of DJ is the zero. That cost us the first quarter and the game more than any botched call.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:23 PM - svtzr: Melo 3, Reaves 3, Change block call
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:23 PM - Punk-101: Did they review the call and still not overturn it?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:23 PM - ElginTheGreat: He missed the final shot but we aren't in the game if not for Russ.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:23 PM - OX1947: Sigh. f***!!!!
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:23 PM - Alcindor: yeah seeing DJ was like whaaaaa?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:23 PM - svtzr: I’m shocked Russ only took 3 shots in the first half
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:24 PM - ElginTheGreat: Gotta be fair. He was cooking the whole second half.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:24 PM - LooN3y: Yeah it was terrible
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:24 PM - abeer3: can we please cut jordan? there HAS to be a d-league center who's ready to step in and play 10 energy minutes
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:24 PM - LooN3y: he needed to attack after AB and Ellington went cold
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:24 PM - ElginTheGreat: Hoping we get more of that gong forward.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:24 PM - ElginTheGreat: Also Baze managed to play decent too.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:24 PM - svtzr: We should trade our 2027 first for Damian jones
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:24 PM - LooN3y: dimilar to what he did I. The 2nd half
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:24 PM - abeer3: lol svtzr, not sure whether to laugh or cry
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:25 PM - svtzr: It’s a mix of both
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:25 PM - ElginTheGreat: abeer - yes - cut Jordan.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:25 PM - Khmrp: did he really need a 3 tho?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:25 PM - Weezy: Damian Jones isn’t a star, so he’s not valuable.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:25 PM - Weezy: What we need is a Damian jones TYPE
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:26 PM - abeer3: i just have no idea what jordan's done this year to justify his existence, and it's not like he's just sitting on he end of the bench--we're playing him!
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:26 PM - Weezy: By releasing jones we maintained flexibility to sign a jones type
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:26 PM - Slick2021: If only we can get these two stars of ours on the court together for 20 games or so. We might just be OK
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:26 PM - abeer3: khmr: they walled off the paint, a long two or three was it
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:26 PM - OX1947: It's too late
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:26 PM - abeer3: lol @wees
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:27 PM - abeer3: z

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 7:27 PM - svtzr: He could of beat bridges, got into the paint, slowed down and threw up a shot to get blocked
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:27 PM - Khmrp: ok but than that faults goes to staff for not drawing up something better than a russ 3
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:27 PM - abeer3: ox is correct; this season is donezo
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:27 PM - ElginTheGreat: Slick - we can only hope.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:27 PM - OX1947: Lakers would have to win 15 in a row to make up thr gigantic hole they are in
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:27 PM - Slick2021: Dj is due for retirement after this season. Trevor too. Melo can go 1 more
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:27 PM - svtzr: Why do we need to win 15 in a row, let’s just get into the playoffs and go at the 1st or 2nd seed
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:27 PM - OX1947: They will face GS or Phx IF they get out of the play in
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:27 PM - svtzr: To win it all we need to beat them anyway
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:28 PM - Khmrp: dj just asking his bff bron/ad for 1 last check
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:28 PM - Slick2021: We need to worry about seeding...it's about health
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:28 PM - abeer3: i'd like to give phx 7 games in the first round to wear their punk a**** down
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:28 PM - OX1947: And both those teams do s*** this team has a really hard time stopping for 48 min
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:28 PM - svtzr: I’m not as negative as you guys, Lebron and AD almost guarantee a competitive series
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:28 PM - Slick2021: We Don't need to worry about seeding I meant
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:28 PM - Khmrp: if they can push pho to 7gms, why not just win? lol
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:28 PM - Weezy: No 7th seed or lower has ever won a title, so yeah… kinda do
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:29 PM - svtzr: Whether we get out in the first round or the conference finals is really irrelevant
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:29 PM - OX1947: This isn't Hockey, broseph. This is the NBA. Lakers won't get out of the first round unless they get the 6th seed. Plain and simple
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:29 PM - abeer3: promise gs and phx don't want to see healthy lebron/AD in the first round. nightmare
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:29 PM - svtzr: Yeah and no team came back down 3-1 and Lebron did it
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:29 PM - ElginTheGreat: If we get the AD we got against the 76ers we have a puncher's chance against anyone
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:29 PM - abeer3: we probably lose, but they probably lose cp/steph in the process
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:29 PM - Slick2021: I wouldn't be afraid of Phoenix or Golden State if we have top AD and Lebron
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:29 PM - OX1947: Ya, that's 1 team out of 500. It's not gonna happen again.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:29 PM - svtzr: I don’t really care about losing in the first, second or conference finals it’s all the same outcome
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:30 PM - ElginTheGreat: I agree, no one wants to play AD and LeBron first round. I still think we'd lose but no one wants that matchup
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:30 PM - OX1947: Same AD who can't play because is little wrist hurts? That guy?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:30 PM - svtzr: We gotta beat the best teams to win a ring so you go ahead and try to do that
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:30 PM - abeer3: to be clear: i don't have confidence we do much--just saying that we're not a fun 1/8 matchup. at all.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:30 PM - ElginTheGreat: abeer - agreed
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:30 PM - svtzr: I’d you can’t, it’s not your year and you retool
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:30 PM - svtzr: But who really cares about making the second round vs getting bounced in the first
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:31 PM - OX1947: If I'm phx or GS, I want to play the Lakers. And end them. But that's because I like to destroy the competition. I don't know
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:31 PM - svtzr: That’s Portland mentality

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 7:32 PM - abeer3: if i'm the lakers, i might prefer being a huge underdog vs. gs/phx as opposed to semi-favored against utah or denver
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:32 PM - OX1947: If AD had played tonight, we win
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:32 PM - Slick2021: I just want to see the team envisioned from training camp. Let the chips fall where they may.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:32 PM - OX1947: I'm f***ing pissed right now
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:32 PM - svtzr: I think we can take out PHX in the first round
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:32 PM - abeer3: hard to know what happens if the stars play tonight. tbh, our issue has been the stars not playing hard when they do play
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:33 PM - svtzr: We need one more piece either as a C or big wing
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:33 PM - svtzr: And bring on Phoenix, I think they’re overrated
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:33 PM - Slick2021: Lebron and AD healthy is going to be a though out for anybody. I haven't seen them lose a series yet at 100 percent.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:33 PM - abeer3: i really think stan does a lot for us in the big wing dept. one more would be great. our gaping hole at c is hard to fix now.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:34 PM - abeer3: phx has basically been playing a playoff rotation all year with no injuries, hence dominant
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:34 PM - svtzr: Phoenix benefitted from continuity and the Chris Paul effect, good tesm
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:34 PM - abeer3: when the postseason starts, they're the same team
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:34 PM - svtzr: good tesm till his hamstrings fall apart
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:34 PM - abeer3: if gs is healthy, they MURDER them, imo
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:34 PM - Slick2021: Sekou still on the team?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:34 PM - abeer3: if we're healthy, they should be nervous
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:35 PM - abeer3: hell, if utah's healthy, they should watch out, too
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:35 PM - OX1947: Utah and yogurt blow
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:35 PM - svtzr: GS is a tough out for me, I’m more worried about them, they can out small ball us
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:35 PM - OX1947: Lakers need to get Mitchell after Westbrook is off the books
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:35 PM - abeer3: if gs is healthy, they beat us, even if we're healthy
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:36 PM - abeer3: great system, great stars, guys know their roles
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:36 PM - Cookie: GS would be tough. They are well coached and have played together for years. We aren’t beating them
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:36 PM - abeer3: yes, ox. mitchell is my luka fallback plan
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:36 PM - Slick2021: Health...big deal again this post season. Somebody always seems to get hurt after the All Star break. I hope we've already had our serious injuries for the season
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:36 PM - abeer3: you can't play your whole career in utah unless you're stockton, man
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:36 PM - svtzr: Maybe not, but at full strength we are probably the best suited to take on GSW
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:36 PM - OX1947: Until then, it's dirka dirka Mohammad jihad
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:37 PM - svtzr: AD is a nightmare for them
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:37 PM - svtzr: AD is a nightmare for everyone in the playoffs actually
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:37 PM - Slick2021: Cookie...nobody has beaten a healthy AD and Lebron yet!!!
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:37 PM - abeer3: AD is a big problem for everyone, tbh
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:37 PM - svtzr: Him going at 100% and healthy is a scary dude
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:37 PM - abeer3: not that our fans know this

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 7:37 PM - svtzr: He cooked Embiid last gsme and Embiid is in mvp form
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:38 PM - OX1947: Some of you are talking like Doc Rivers after the 2010 finals.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:38 PM - Cookie: You are correct Slick but we aren’t beating GS…sorry
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:38 PM - OX1947: Everybody, I mean only slick. Only slick
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:38 PM - abeer3: no one's ever beaten us with kendrick perkins available
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:38 PM - abeer3: on a balmy 68 degree evening
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:38 PM - Cookie: Nobody has beaten our starting 5…Doc Rivers
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:39 PM - OX1947: Lakers have never beaten any team where the other team scored more points then them after the clock ran out
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:39 PM - Slick2021: Meh..not so sure what's so scary about Golden State..I don't think they would beat the Suns in the playoffs.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:39 PM - Cookie: Lol Ox
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:40 PM - abeer3: again, i think the suns are playing their playoff basketball now
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:40 PM - Cookie: Chris Paul would have to play defense against GS. That would tire him and Booker out.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:40 PM - abeer3: feel like i check the box scores and they're running the same 8 dudes--a luxury and possibly an issue
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:40 PM - svtzr: Golden state has a top defence with green
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:40 PM - Slick2021: Yeah and nobody has beaten a healthy Lebron and AD in a playoff series OX
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:41 PM - svtzr: And too many good shooters in curry, Klay, Poole, Otto, wiggins, Bjelica
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:41 PM - abeer3: green is huge for gs. without him, they're a first round out. and that's with the splash bros.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:41 PM - abeer3: huge huge hoop iq
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:41 PM - abeer3: both ends
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:41 PM - svtzr: Basically GS is a bet that your offence won’t be slowed by their defence while hoping they’re cold for 4/7 of the games from three
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:41 PM - Cookie: And the wheels go round and round and round
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:41 PM - abeer3: he's like a great big austin reaves
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:41 PM - svtzr: That’s just a tough tough bet
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:42 PM - Slick2021: Meh..Steph would get worn out chasing Paul around too. I'm not a huge Steph believer.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:42 PM - svtzr: Without green they’re paper tigers
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:42 PM - svtzr: They may win a series of two but ultimately they can’t go the whole way
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:42 PM - abeer3: steph and cp both tend to wear down, pretty much every year
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:42 PM - Cookie: Meh Slick, how many championships does Steph have.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:42 PM - abeer3: both terrify me, though
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:43 PM - Slick2021: Shooters have a habit of choking in the playoffs.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:43 PM - svtzr: That’s why I don’t rate phx so highly, they’ll lose Chris Paul
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:43 PM - Cookie: How many?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:43 PM - svtzr: And I don’t believe in Booker
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:43 PM - abeer3: i wouldn't say steph's choked--he's been visibly slowed in the years they've lost, imo
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:43 PM - Slick2021: Steph only has one without KD

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 7:43 PM - abeer3: cp, too
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:43 PM - svtzr: Even if shooters choke, they’ve got a ton of shooters
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:43 PM - abeer3: they just have to do so much physically at their size, night in and night out
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:43 PM - svtzr: Wiggins has been great for them too
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:44 PM - abeer3: booker's a frontrunner
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:44 PM - svtzr: So you’ve got a triple headed snake with Curry, Klay and Poole at the guards
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:44 PM - Slick2021: So did Houston...so did Utah...so did GS against Cleveland the 2nd time
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:44 PM - abeer3: harden-ish in that way
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:44 PM - Cookie: AD doesn’t have any without LeBron. Do you ever stop moving the goalposts?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:45 PM - svtzr: I think it’s a fair assessment, because this GS doesn’t have KD and can be compared to the pre KD warriors
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:45 PM - svtzr: Who were 1/3
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:45 PM - OX1947: If Saturn was Mars, the Lakers would be the earth to the Mars of Pluto......and no one can change my mind
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:45 PM - abeer3: it's science
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:45 PM - Slick2021: That's not moving a goal post. Steph has one championship without KD. That's a fact. A 73 win team boarded a plane to recruit KD to get by Lebron. I'm not buying the GS hype.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:45 PM - Cookie: I totally agree Ox. Here here
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:45 PM - OX1947: Exactly
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:46 PM - OX1947: Remember, diversity is an old wooden ship
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:46 PM - Cookie: Moving the goal post is your specialty. It’s ridiculous really
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:46 PM - abeer3: old old
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:46 PM - svtzr: I think any contender who added KD at that moment would of gotten two rings
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:46 PM - Slick2021: They won that one Championship facing Lebron without Kyrie or Love too
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:47 PM - svtzr: So I don’t count that highly for curry and co
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:47 PM - Cookie: You play who is in front of you….that’s sports.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:47 PM - svtzr: Yes but why isn’t it fsir to compare pre KD and post KD warriors?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:47 PM - abeer3: i'm seeing magic tweets on the right and still dumbfounded he made decisions for the team
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:47 PM - Slick2021: What did I say that was incorrect? You throw out how many chips does steph has without context
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:47 PM - OX1947: You give 110% or you don't.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:47 PM - svtzr: They’re both pretty similarly built teams
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:48 PM - abeer3: i mean, lebron's titles without another hall of famer in his prime is the same number, right?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:48 PM - Cookie: You can’t compare playoffs every year because player change teams
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:48 PM - OX1947: Anyone know what the teams TS% was tonight? I want to see if it was good so, you know, analytics and s***
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:48 PM - abeer3: eleventy
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:49 PM - abeer3: eleventy WARBRONS
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:49 PM - OX1947: I thought so
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:49 PM - Slick2021: No..I don't remember Lebron playing with 3 other All Stars in their prime. What team was that?

 

Jan 28, 2022 at 7:49 PM - svtzr: My logic isn’t to discredit curry, but it’s a fair point, they’re a completely different team without him
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:49 PM - OX1947: If LeBron wasn't 6'8 and an amazing basketball player. He would never have made the NBA. These are facts
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:49 PM - abeer3: i remember him tucking tail and running to miami with two other top-7 nba players
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:50 PM - Slick2021: Seriously...GS was one of the most stacked teams of all time.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:50 PM - Cookie: Every team is different when the lose stars. That’s what people are complaining about the Lakers missing AD and Bron.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:50 PM - OX1947: Well, Gilbert was his owner, can you blame him?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:50 PM - abeer3: comic sans
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:50 PM - Slick2021: Yeah OX and the rim is 10 feet off the floor. Did you know that?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:50 PM - OX1947: I do. Why the obvious question?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:51 PM - abeer3: lol reaves says lakers just "played hard" to get back in it tonight. fantastic.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:51 PM - Slick2021: So Cookie...lol...KD in GS was no big deal? Just another guy huh?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:51 PM - Cookie: We shoot 41% from 2 and 37% from 3. So our number weren’t fantastic Ox
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:51 PM - OX1947: Played hard, nice to know. Anyone ask him why they didn't play hard in the 1st half?
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:52 PM - abeer3: don't need to. it's the hornets.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:52 PM - abeer3: oh s***
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:52 PM - Cookie: I didn’t say he wasn’t a good player. Don’t put words in my mouth.
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:52 PM - abeer3: irony: the hornets are 8 games better than us
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:52 PM - OX1947: Lakers made Ish Smith look like Emmit Smith
Jan 28, 2022 at 7:53 PM - OX1947: Stop putting words in Cookies mouff
