Game Thread: Lakers @ Nuggies 12/22/15, 7:00pm

[Retroram52]

I am coming in a little late and we are down by 10 as one guy, Barton on the Nuggies roster is beating us with an in-the-zone. He has cooled off a little here in the second. The Lakers' Clarkson and Russell are keeping us afloat and Hibbert is getting fouls. What else is new.

 

[Retroram52]

The lead is now 13. Nobody is playing D as usual.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice pass by Lou Williams to Brandon Bass for the deuce and the foul. We have spurts of brilliance and then long stretches of garbage.

 

[Retroram52]

Will Barton is single-handedly beating us.

 

[Retroram52]

We are scratching our way back and the lead is now down to 8.

 

[Retroram52]

I wonder if it has anything to do with the Sway guarding Barton?

 

[Retroram52]

Nance has a wide-open and can't connect. This has been our Achilles heal. Poor offense and intermittent D.

 

[Retroram52]

Bass gets denied. The Nuggies are shooting 57% and we just suck.

 

[Retroram52]

Swaggy clanks another three. This guy is done.

 

[Retroram52]

Well this has suddenly gone south in a hurry. We got to within 8 and now the lead is 20. Everyone looks lost!

 

[Retroram52]

Swaggy ends the 5 minute drought and we are shooting 38% compared to the Nuggies 57%.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice block by Bass.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice put-back dunk by Nance and the Lakers finished the half with a mini-run and the lead is down to 14.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice three by Lou and he is warming up.

 

[Retroram52]

Clarkson nails a deuce and the lead is down to 9. Nice run by the Lakers.

Lakers trying to climb back in it. Nance has looked pretty good.

 

[Retroram52]

Nance is quietly having a pretty darn good game.

 

[Retroram52]

Hey TJF12. Somebody else joins the fray tonight.

 

[trojanfan12]

Nice assist by Kobe to Nance. Lakers within 7.

 

[Retroram52]

Beautiful pass by Kobe to Hibbert and the lay-in and the foul!
