    Awful start to the second quarter, I don't think we recovered from the run Cavs went on. Then again they are the champs so there is that....

    ^^ Agreed 18-2 run kind of killed us. Glad to see we fought back and still had a shot towards the end though.

    Huge lead blown, against a mediocre team like ourselves. This one is inexcusable. And what was that play drawn up with 20 seconds or whatever to go, JC one on 2? That was the plan? You'd have thought B0ron drew that one up, c'mon Luke. No ball movement, weak defense and pathetic effort on the boards getting beaten by Walker down low for rebounds multiple times. You don't wanna give max effort don't bother coming on the road trip, stay home.

    No moral victories here, Lakers should have won this game. This game was lost in the 3rd quarter (again!), along with lack of defensive rebounding. I mean c'mon, how does the smallest guy on the court have more rebounds than any single Laker, especially Julius?!

    This. Wasted a 73 point first half. That's ridiculous. Also wasted an insane shooting night from JC, 7 of 9 from downtown. Bad, bad loss.

    That loss felt like a playoff loss at home. Just sickening. Worst loss of the year.

    This loss was a lot more excusable than losing to the Mavs or Suns at home or at Brooklin.

    Charlotte is not a terrible team. They can come back and scratch one out at home. I think the Lakers players have gone back to their "being comfy with losing" mentality. They scream for moral victories after every loss and just don't play defense. Seems like we might well....not win 30 games this year after all.

    You guys are acting like 8 loss streaks are going to be the norm. The team's just now getting back on a rhythm, and would have won this one a month ago.

    Young was -22 but atleast scored. Randle was like -12/14 but shot .333%

    Didn't watch but that and FTs will do it. Still not worried, it's all good guys..just gotta see development.

    This one was on Luke : down 2 and no DAR or Lou in the game ??

    He benched DAR and Lou for defensive purposes but you still can use "hockey" substitutions

    We scored only once out of our latest 11 possessions
