[CoffeeJanitor]

This is just nasty.

 

[KidA Seven]

Damn bros


This shit is over

 

[rage1973]

Should have kept Kobe on the bench.

 

[The Frankman]

Jesus CHRIST Tony Allen has Kobe under lock and key.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Jesus CHRIST Tony Allen has Kobe under lock and key.

So does Mike Brown.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

So we control our own destiny in that 3rd spot.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Moral victory for Lakers: Acheived.

Dat Bumnum 3.

 

[Booshka]

lol Bynum

 

[Pkaz01]

damn z-bo off the bench with 10 points 11 boards 4 assists and a +/- of +20

 

[rage1973]

Lmao Bynum with a three t the buzzer

 

[Darkman M]

Should have kept Kobe on the bench.

This game was well over before then.

 

[Black Mamba]

Bynum's 1st 3 of his career? lol


Blake -17.

 

[filler]

Hijo de puta!


Blow it up Mitch!!

 

[Cloudy]

Despite how bad the team played, I feel like they win this game if Blake and Ramon didn't play together.
/rant

Ron had been missing so many wide open 3s so I'm guessing he was thinking Blake would be better. Why not just play Barnes more though?

 

[Booshka]

Bynum's 1st 3 of his career? lol


Blake -17.

seriously wtf

 

[Cloudy]

That was insane to take Kobe out at that point. Yeah, he hadn't rested but you are embarrassing him on national tv and surrendering any chance to win the game. Idiotic

 

[rage1973]

This game was well over before then.

They were down by 7 when he comes in and gives an open jumper to Allen then posts up and lets his man come around for a TO. Game over after that.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Don't play Blake with Ramon. Play Andrew Goudelock with a Ramon.

You keep doing stupid shit and you'll give the LA media ammunition against you Mike.

 

[obijkenobi]

Spurs 3 games behind the Thunder and 4 ahead of the Lakers. And we play the Lakers 3 times. Looks like the Thunder are going to be the one seed. Should be interesting to see who gets the 2 seed.

 

[Black Mamba]

Ron had been missing so many wide open 3s so I'm guessing he was thinking Blake would be better. Why not just play Barnes more though?

Ron was +7, highest on the team. The Lakers starters, as a unit, did fine.

He had more boards than Drew and contained Rudy (only 18). Yeah, I wish he hit another shot or two, but he didn't cost the game.

Barnes being on the bench for Blake-Ramon was stupid.


Sessions needs to come off the bench. You ready to admit it?

That was insane to take Kobe out at that point. Yeah, he hadn't rested but you are embarrassing him on national tv and surrendering any chance to win the game. Idiotic

As if Kobe cares

That what matters. The first spot is out of reach for the Lakers.

 

[Mothman91]

Kobe played the whole 3rd and some of the 4th in the beginning right?

Brown is slowly killing Kobe before playoffs...same with his bigs too.

Herp derp I'm an idiot.

 

[Black Mamba]

wait, what? Three games behind the Thunder and you think its a lock that you get the one seed?

He said the Thunder will be #1 and Spurs/Lakers fighting for 2 with 3 games against one another.

First Sunday Lakers game at 7:30pm since 1993. lol Lakers thought game ended when 4th started

 

[jjasper]

Sorry, Lakers-Age. You guys never had a chance after you let Hamed Haddadi score his season high in points in a single game.

I think he had season highs in rebounds and blocks too.

 

[thekad]

I seem to get that a lot around here. I just don't get why you guys are so anxious to hate on Fisher AND love on Sessions while ignoring the fact that the lakers actually look worse since the trade.

[rage1973]

Bynum's 1st 3 of his career? lol


Blake -17.

That's 5 awful games in a row for Blake. As soon as he omes in you can expect a minus from the team. Brown needs to sit his ass dow for couple of games to show him that's not acceptable.

 

[Emwitus]

Man, don't look now but boston is tied with philadelphia!!! Leastern confrence indeed.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Kobe played the whole 3rd and some of the 4th in the beginning right?

Dumbfuck doesn't know how to manage his players.
Dumbfuck

 

[masud]

Jared Jeffries out for two weeks. That's gonna hurt. No really.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Pau shot like shit tonight.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Hassan Whiteside boxed out Chuck Hayes at least four times against the Warriors. Hassan Whiteside is on Chuck Hayes' team.

I didn't see Whiteside play last night, did this really happen? lol

 

[Emwitus]

As if Kobe cares

Moving sessions of the bench to start just for the sake of starting was the worst idea ever. And bench Blake for Morris. YES, i said it.

 

[Cloudy]

As if Kobe cares

I'm sure he does. You don't do that to stars with the game on the line. Pretty much that says, we don't need Kobe to get back in the game

 

[Forceatowulf]

I hate losses like this. Too many players missing good looks. There is nothing more aggravating to watch then that. ugh

We used to have an advantage on defense and Home Court. Remember that? It didn't seem like it was too long ago...

I think the real crux of our problems right now is our bench production. It's pretty much nonexistent. The bench wont magically get better over time either. They are who they are. We got away with that shit in our last Championship runs because Kobe and Pau were next to unstoppable. Now, not so much...

 

[obijkenobi]

Dumbfuck doesn't know how to manage his players.

Brown is a huge down grade from Phil, but everyone knew that. It's one of the reasons I thik the Spurs will do well against the Lakers in the 3 games coming up. Now that Pop has JAAAAXXXXXX and Diaw (not a savior, but Pop can do a lot of things with the 5 bigs he has now) we're pretty versatile. We can throw Leonard, Green, Jaaxxxx, and Manu against Kobe now.

 

[ph33nix]

let's mourn together lakers age

chris bosh can't rebound
lebron's elbow is going to blow up in the first round
wade is going to get his legs swept

we're all fucked

How can you argue the Lakers look worse? Their PD was higher coming into this game post-sessions against better SOS than season.

That's 5 awful games in a row for Blake. As soon as he omes in you can expect a minus from the team. Brown needs to sit his ass dow for couple of games to show him that's not acceptable.

he's passable with the starters. Pau/Drew frontcourt can cover for him and he can get spot up shots.

On the bench, though. ugh.

Moving sessions of the bench was the worst idea ever. And bench Blake for Morris. YES, i said it.

Morris was terrible. At least maybe glock, but lakers would be fine if Blake started.

He's a spot up shooter. Let him play in that role.

Move sessions to the bench, Play jordan hill more to let him get a feel for the team, Unchain goudelock, Bench Blake indefinately and move morris in his place(He obviously can't be any worse and atleast his athletic)

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

And to think the Lakers could have had Adelman.

So is blake. And atleast morris is athletic.

 

[Puddles]

Kobe and Lebron both held under 20 again.

Every time I watch a Heat game where LeBron is a non-factor, it seems like Kobe has an even worse night.

 

[ThisWreckage]

The Lakers have one of the worst benches in NBA basketball. Mike Brown is a mediocre coach, but not even a great coach could work wonders with this team.

 

[Black Mamba]

If Ramon is going to start, then either Blake needs to come earlier or Kobe needs to sit earlier.

Sit Kobe at the 6 min mark, bring him in for the whole 2nd and 4th.

So is blake. And atleast morris is athletic.

I don't think Morris is ready.

Glock needs to be the 2 off the bench.

Ramon-Glock-Barnes-McBobs-Bynum should be the 2nd unit. I don't understand why it's not.

No more Murphy. No more Kobe playing entire halves. No more of this bullshit.


Anyway, Mad Men season premier time.

 

[obijkenobi]

I'm sure Pop could squeeze 10 points from the Laker's bench. Maybe.

 

[SamuraiX-]

I didn't see Whiteside play last night, did this really happen? lol

I was watching the game and I didn't even realize he got playing time.

Whiteside don't give a fuck.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Like I said, I suffered a double gut punch today. Shit sucks man.

 

[Dominican Power]

 

[Xplatformer]

Bynum's 1st 3 of his career? lol


Blake -17.

When did Blake become the Lakers backup shooting guard? Mike Brown had Blake guarding OJ. WTF???
