These guys better stop fucking up our ping pong balls. 2 wins in a row to close the road trip, and now 6 straight games at home.

Won't last!

 

[Silas]

GO LAKERS!!! BEAT THE BULLS!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Jeez, did these guys get drunk on the press clippings from the two wins? Ofer 8 and no D. I don't think they have come to play today.

 

[Retroram52]

If we are going to get better, we have to play better consistent D and shoot better on Sunday games which historically we don't play well.

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

Lakers with in 3

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

Not a bad game so far.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea LALakersboy, they actually turned up their defensive intensity and Marshall made some threes and we are back in this one at the half. These guys are definitely beatable but we are going to have to play some good D and make better decisions on shot selection. Nash needs to take more shots instead of passing the ball because the Bulls have the passing lanes clogged a lot of the time and it results in a TO. Shoot the damn ball Stevie!!

 

[Retroram52]

This is the problem. Five minutes gone in the third without a made basket and then a lot of standing around on the D end. And I don't know why we aren't running? The Bulls walk-it-up-mode is dictating the pace and this team would get easy baskets if they'd just run. Oh, I forgot its Sunday and the Lakers don't run on Sundays.

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

Lakers down by 4 with 48 seconds left, but I don't think we pull it off. Back to tank mode folks.

 

[Retroram52]

There is another problem. What dumbass called for Kaman to take the last shot as a three? Ten-to-one that was Don'tknowi's play he drew-up in the time-out. Freakin' idiot. Again, we played this game to not win. We scrapped and fought back to a 6-point game and our D just will not get better when we need it. Onward we go.

 

[HizzleRocker]

The next 5 games are key. All at home and we need to lose 4 of them.

Exum is the key to our future. Gonna be tough to get, but a top 3 pick may get him.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Another win for Team Tank.

Good effort though guys. Never gave up!

 

[HizzleRocker]

This season sucks. Never ever have I had to root against my team. I've been a die-hard for over 25 years. I actually got to meet Riley, Magic, Kareem, Green, Worthy, Scott, Rambis, and company when I was a kid, in an event at Dallas. They were incredible. Nothing can take that Laker love spirit outta me.

However, I see what this season is. I see that we have 1 pick between now and 2016. There is an argument that could be made that this may be the most important draft pick in Laker's history!

If that's the case... Develop your young guys; Figure out next year's roster through this year; And tank and hit a homerun in this year's draft!

 

[wildturkey]

Looks like Nash will likely be out for awhile. Initial reports are he irritated the same nerve in his leg that he broke last year.

 

[Silas]

The Boys didn't give up. Gotta give them that, though they struggled in most of the same areas as usual. It is tough to play with half the team hurt, but this team was never destined to be more than average, if not worse.

Play out the string and start to regroup next season.

I'm glad Baseball season is on the horizon.

First game I've missed this year. Was helping a friend whose Mom recently passed. Sounds like it was a decent game though.

Behind by an average of 10 points most of the game. As soon as the lakers came as close as 6, the bulls would go on a streak themselves.
