Gotta tank for Zion

Future Klutch client.

Lakers would have a slim chance of sneaking in if they win that game on Monday but losing that and it is over.

Even if they win that game, they would have to make up 4 games in 18 games. That is tough when you see the Clippers schedule compared to the Lakers schedule

It's been over, my friend.

What's crazy is Paul Pierce might actually be right for once; they should just sit Lebron so he doesn't get some long term injury and tank the rest of the season to get a better lottery pick

Monday is without a doubt a "must win"

 

[WiggyRuss]

Losses to Atlanta, Memphis, New Orleans, and Phoenix all in the last 2+ weeks or so on the road.

Simply unacceptable for a Lebron James team

they EASILY should have won 3 out of 4 of those games which would of put them in a great position.

now- its gonna take a helluva run.

I wouldnt count out LeBron just yet, but the margin for error is getting pretty damn thin.

8 2nd half points for Lebron

 

[WiggyRuss]

8 2nd half points for Lebron

that lazy turnover - just no excuse for it...just throwing the ball like that.

he looks pissed off

he doesnt look like the leader that is encouraging everyone and having fun and the guy people want to fight for...instead he looks kinda hurt, kinda fat, kinda lazy, and not really happy.

 

[Bolts]

8 2nd half points for Lebron

Must have accidentally flipped the playoff mode activated switch off during halftime.

 

[WiggyRuss]

8 2nd half points for Lebron

missing those free throws too.....its just been a nightmare for him.

I gotta say--- call me a butt-hurt hater if you want--- but i am so happy to see him lose like this.

to go from 8 straight Finals appearances to missing the playoffs would be exactly what he deserves- especially after the bullshit him and Rich Paul tried to pull.

 

[bksballer89]

i think we both agree that the Lakers will beat Atlanta to go into the All Star break 29-28


there next 10 games after that-

HOU
@NO
@MEM
NO
MIL
PHX
LAC
DENV
BOS
CHI

I see 7-3 or 8-2.

Great stretch for them with all the challenging games being played at home

They didn't beat Atlanta which was surprising as we both expected a W and are currently 2-4 on this 10 game stretch that we both thought they would do damn well in

losing 3/4 to NO, MEN, NO, PHX is inexcusable

 

[DJ Fieri]

James averaging 30ppg, 12apg, and 7rpg the last 3.....

lol...sorry

im loving it though

the Clippers dont want to make the playoffs, have had a good team the last few years, never tanked and got a bunch of high lotto picks, and they have a team full of gritty talented guys who are playing their asses off--- go and trade their best player....get rid of Bradley too......Harrell, Lou, Gallo, - young guys like Shamet and SGA stepping up.....tons of cap room next year....you gotta like where this is going.

across the Staples center you have a bunch of high lotto picks, LeBron, tons of expectations, tons of people fawning all over them, and they are just folding. and you just do not get the same feeling

All of this is true.

Here's the thing...

If we whiff in free agency this Summer, we have no choice but to build thru the draft.

Having our own pick goes a long way towards achieving that goal.

Yeah, we can try to trade for a guy.

But, outside of Davis, what Star player could we get via trade that would even move the needle?

My biggest fear is that we go the clown car route and do what Jim Buds did, by throwing big money at unworthy free agents.

Jerry being on board mitigates that fear a bit.

But...Clippers like to Clip.

Basketball is a team sport

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Mecca hates the fucking Lakers and even she doesn't believe the last part of what you just said.

Which part?

 

[bksballer89]

Which part?

@WiggyRuss and I asked him the same question hours ago....still no response

 

[bksballer89]

Encouraging

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

pretty soon LeBron is going to go into beast mode

I thought he said playoff mode was activated?

Maybe he meant Playoff P.
