I don't understand why Bron didn't just go straight to the basket... or shot his famous 3

Hero ball. Should have gone early to get the 2 for 1

We down 4 and he was handing the ball like we down 1...dah well.

Hopefully they build something from this but I doubt it.

It's time to remove Ariza from the starting lineup.

Facts!

 

[darthska]

Can't even get the ball inbounds...

[pmatic]

Caruso with a fractured arm would've been a better choice than THT throwing the inbounds pass.

 

[DLF]

Reminder that a real front office would have jumped on any young 6’5 and above player in the summer like Caleb Martin

Too bad he wasn’t 36 and a former laker

Oh well. It’s 6’2 or shorter or nothing.

Vogel is very loyal to AB and Trev.

Will pay dividends in the finals.

Remember Vogel once said “I know Reaves is playing better but AB been here longer”

 

[tay1]

Kevin Love speaking truth. And trying to get a roster spot.

“I think if AD comes back healthy and is motivated, he takes that team to a different stratosphere… I wouldn’t be surprised if they figure it out, I would say All-Star break, after the All-Star break. I do feel like they will make some noise. How far they will go? I don’t know. But I think some of the expectations and scrutiny is, I’m not gonna say ‘unwarranted,’ but in some ways, unfair.”

but we got guys in here giving vogel the benefit of the doubt.

the man sucks

 

[DLF]

Lakers basketball this year is just exhausting to follow. It’s a nightmare season man.

 

[Lizakers]

Funny how we cry about AD and Nunn, but with 2 superstars we still get blown out most of the game by a team without Lowry and Herro.

How come injuries affect us so much but other teams step up when they have injuries? Must be coaching

Lakers don’t have two superstars on the roster when AD is out. They have one, and whatever you want to call Westbrook.

Injuries force the Lakers to play role players in roles they can’t fill. Trevor, AB and Dwight aren’t NBA caliber starting players at this point in their careers. Some of the young guys like Reaves, THT and Monk are inconsistent which is too be expected with those types of players. And yes coaching is a factor as well…rotations, offensive and defensive philosophy have been in question all season (or better yet for the entire time Vogel has been here in LA)

Only one fam. They have a superstar and a brick when AD is out.

 

[DLF]

Edit: no point evaluating this team on game to game basis

Guards are too small
Wings are slow and old

One of the worst off seasons in recent memory

[DLF]

Give okc two 2nd rounders too.


Automatically get 3 wing defenders. Slotting melo and Ariza appropriately to the 12-15th man roles.

Keep Nunn.
