    You really need two to be a contender. It's true. Otherwise, you just have a playoff team. And for many teams that's fine, that is considered success. But we are the Lakers.

    Tonight against Indy.

    Kuzma - 37 minutes
    Randle - 34 minutes - Would have played more if not in foul trouble.
    KCP - 39 minutes
    Lopez - 37 minutes
    Zo - 37 minutes

    IT played 25 minutes. Nobody else played more than 13 minutes.

    Way too many minutes this late in the season.

    Impressive first quarter. After that, not so much. Yeah, we are truly missing BI and Josh Hart right now. Our front court has been exceptional (at least offensively), but wow the guards have just kind of sucked.

    As Revgen said , no depth is catching up to us .

    I only watched the 1st half and I hated how IT ( and by extension Luke) failed to recognize we should have gone to Kuz against Bogdanovic each trip down when the 2nd unit was on the floor .

    Watching these IT-Zubac PNR failed again and again was irritating

    Hopefully Ingram will return Thursday to give more support even though I could see him being on a minutes restriction for a short time period.

    Can't believe we didn't let Kuzma shoot for most of the 4th...

    He has the worst +/- on the team tonight. KCP had the best.

    -12 in 43 minutes

    KCP +12 in 43 minutes

    curiouser and curiouser

    We lost this game on turnovers and lack of defense. We shot 49.4% and 43.6% from 3. Tied on rebounds. We gave up 54.7% shooting and lost the turnover battle 16-7. That won't ever get it done.

    I think +/- is the most useless stat in basketball. I’d prefer like a doo doo scale. Like was Kuzma doo doo tonight? Hell no. Was IT? Yes. Zo was doo doo on 1/3 of the key areas. Simple.

    Tough loss. I agree with Sirron, it was lack of D and turnovers. We had a big fat lead going into the fourth. Couldn't close it out.
