I feel this bench is too weak. Put pau and metta on the bench

I agree with this news.

 

[DominoKid]

0-6? this is no good. no good at all...

 

[bigboss370]

well, shit.

 

[Syphon Filter]

i dont get it,how do lakers keep losing:

 

[Conflict NZ]

Kings have been thugging dwight all night and getting away with it, I was thinking we would see some shaqlike calls with him in LA, guess the refs want to improve their image.

 

[etiolate]

Lakers bench is pretty bad.

 

[Emwitus]

Why not let nash make the winner eh?

 

[Herpes Reasons]

lol kobe.

 

[Emwitus]

The biggest issue with this laker's team is kobe's ego...if he can step back a bit and let nash lead that would be great.

 

[Darkman M]

Why not let nash make the winner eh?

Uhh did you miss the runner that fell short?

 

[bigboss370]

i dont get it,how do lakers keep losing:

the full bench line up being played instead of mixed in with starters.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

lakers are the only team without a preseason win? wow, doesn't mean anything since it's preseason i suppose.

 

[Black Mamba]

Why not let nash make the winner eh?

He did get the chance. He missed it.




Lakers had like 21 or 22 TOs shot 50% FTs and Kings shot 100% FTs. And Nash missed a simple runner that probably wins the game.

Nothing to worry about.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Oh well. Fuck it.

Dwight: 12 rebounds, 19 points, 4 blocks, 8-12 FG

Dude hasn't played a pro game since April. Sooooo good.

Grantland said Jamison should make the Hall of Fame though.

Dwight doesn't know how to work the officials and whines whenever he gets hit; refs tune him out as a result.

He stepped back the whole game what are you talking about?

 

[diehard]

nah, it's starting to mean something.

Needs to spend a Summer with Kevin Martin.

Damn I miss Rodman coming off the bench

 

[pilonv1]

Are they only inducting HOF level bad defenders?

you obviously didn't watch the same game we all did lol.

 

[Forceatowulf]

No, it's really not...

Jesus Christ people. Have you watched the games? I mean really watched them? There's a bunch of players and rotations being made several times during this pre-season that will never happen again. Pre-season is not a barometer for jack shit. Period.

The biggest issue with this laker's team is kobe's ego...if he can step back a bit and let nash lead that would be great.

What.. the fuck are you even talking about?

 

[Emwitus]

you obviously didn't watch the same game we all did lol.

How does that game make my statement any less relevant?

 

[Black Mamba]

This is the only game the Lakers played their starters in the 4th.

The other 5 games meant nothing. This was the first time they played together. If anyone actually thinks this or any game means something, lol.

 

[etiolate]

The Lakers trying to win the game with starters and still failing is pretty hilarious.

 

[Red Blaster]

“The biggest thing is we don’t have to gamble,” said Howard. “That’s the one thing I told those guys — don’t gamble. We’re solid on defense, we work hard for 24 seconds on defense and then we’re out.

It's irrelevant because it's not happening. You're stating something as fact that isn't even going on. That's why it's irrelevant.

My opinion dude. Deal with it.

 

[Flash]

if I were Laker-age I'd hope that this losing streak continues into the regular season so that they can get a competent coach.

 

[ISOM]

Did you watch the game that was on just 20 minutes ago? Nash was controlling the team there was no kobe ego going on there..at least get your facts straight if you want to bash kobe about something.

My statement was not about the dang game. Gosh. It's about the team as a whole over the course of the season. And they are still kobe iso heavy for my own liking but i digress. These "facts" i should get straight, what are they? My facts are nash is a better leader.

 

[VPhys]

Mike Brown is going to have to coach the fuck out of this team. Fine if he wants to start the Fab five he needs to be pulling two of them off of the court and onto the bench after the first five minutes of every game.

 

[ISOM]

He's yet to show it in the preseason game and kobe iso'ed on maybe three plays max, we have alot of elite ball handlers on this team it's not about ego it's about maximizing the team's offensive output.

 

[etiolate]

Cheer up Laker fans!

 

[Psychological Intellect]

so it's safe to say that the kings are a good team? Cousins and brooks look really nice as well as evans and robinson. The supporting cast doesn't look too terrible either.

 

[Pimpwerx]

The Dwight Lakers are like the Bynum Lakers, but with more highlights. Meh. PEACE.

 

[BobLoblaw]

if I were Laker-age I'd hope that this losing streak continues into the regular season so that they can get a competent coach.

Lol! This. The whole game I was wondering wtf Mike Clown was doing. Granted he had Howard in the rotation this game, but the guy's a joke. You better hope he's gone my the All Star break or Laker's age is 6th-8th seed bound.

 

[madmaxx350]

Cheer up Laker fans!

I'm cheered

 

[bigboss370]

i expect better things once more cuts(why aren't morris and Somogyi gone yet?) are made and Jordan Hill is back.

why isn't DJO getting any minutes?

 

[Syphon Filter]

lol mike brown always gets a lot of hate.

 

[giri]

No, them beating up on teams in the pre-season isn't the same as regular season wins.

Fact is, their back court is a mess.

Everything outside of PF and C is a giant cluster fuck on that team.

 

[Black Mamba]

Must be fun to be a Kings fan when their season peaks in the preseason.

 

[giri]

Must be fun to be a Kings fan when their season peaks in the preseason.

Must be an indication of salt that a Laker fan is trying to pick on the Kings.

 

[Conflict NZ]

Take 4 points off Metta and give them to Nash and add 4 to kobe and that's pretty much what I expect the starters to get each night.

 

[Canuck76]

lol mike brown always gets a lot of hate.

Yeah sort of weirdly.

I don't think he's a terrible coach, he was one of the forces behind the cavs throughout the 2000's.

But then again to Lakers fans he's not Phil so he's trash.

 

[madmaxx350]

mcten Dave McMenamin
Don't be concerned by the Lakers' 0-6 record but be troubled by the bench being outscored 57-18 by freaking Sacramento. Ouch.

My God, this and the 22 turnovers and I don't see how they would have win this game.

 

[Black Mamba]

My God, this and the 22 turnovers and I don't see how they would have win this game.

Bit misleading since their bench played twice as many minutes.

More like outscored 36-18. Still pretty bad, but at least not HOLY FUCK BAD.


Also took Sacramento shooting like 20/20 FTs too. lol

 

[KingKong]

Yeah sort of weirdly.

I don't think he's a terrible coach, he was one of the forces behind the cavs throughout the 2000's.

Hes a very good coach that had about as much success as he could with a terrible bench.

 

[Nelo Ice]

So much doom and gloom for preseason good god.

Also I want to see CDR play, I hope he gets some run and a roster spot with Meeks and Ebanks still looking shaky out there.
