Lakers 2017-2018 Season Thread

Lakers are also a crappy three-point shooting team as well. We are 8/24 for tonight so far.

 

[Retroram52]

What a shot by Kuzma!

 

[Retroram52]

Randle is in beast mode!

 

[Retroram52]

Kuzma nails a critical three!

 

[Retroram52]

We are having trouble with Plumlee. Geez.

 

[Retroram52]

That sequence just killed us. The game is tied.

 

[Retroram52]

Nance is really having a bad game tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

The Nuggets D has completely disjointed the Lakers O.

 

[Retroram52]

Now the young kids don't know what to do with the pressure and the Nuggets lead by 5.

 

[Retroram52]

These Lakers simply have not developed enough to be able to handle this type of defensive pressure.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers are fading late and the lead by the Nuggets is now 6.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers have just quit.

 

[Retroram52]

The lead is now 9 and this game is completely over.

 

[Retroram52]

From bad passes to traveling to missed shots to TOs and poor shot selection. This team has come completely unglued.

 

[Retroram52]

7 TOs in the fourth quarter alone. 22 for the game and these guys are just struggling beyond belief.

 

[Retroram52]

A 13-point blow-out in the fourth quarter. The Nuggets defense just took the Lakers out of every conceivable offensive attempt and the kids look really bad.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers now drop to 8-14 and the schedule doesn't get any easier. This could be an ugly stretch of the season. Later...

I'm not expecting this team to be "good" per say, but they should be able to beat a Nuggets team without Millsap AND Jokic.

I am starting to get that dissapointment feeling again. They should be beating teams like this, not getting blown out. The sad thing is..they had a better record this time last year. They need to be playing better. That effort against GS has to be the same with lesser teams. You see philly, and you know they are turning the corner. This team is much better then last year, but they are not winning games that they should be at this point.

 

[Retroram52]

I agree. There is some digression going on as evidenced by the game last evening. Rotations are beginning to stabilize a bit but a continual progression in development is waning right now.
