Lakers 2017-2018 Season Thread

[Retroram52]

Kuzma and Ingram looking like their selves tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

Assist for Randle and a three by Ingram.

 

[Retroram52]

That was a good defensive posession there.

 

[Retroram52]

Randle misses both FTs again. We are still the poorest FT shooting team in the league.

 

[Retroram52]

Tie ballgame at 93.

Why are we acting like Clarkson is the 2nd coming of MJ?

I am not sure anyone is acting like that TJF12. I just wanted to see if the chemistry was going to motivate this team to actually want to consistently win and maybe get in the playoffs the Lakers way. That was the extent of my contribution to the "sky-is-falling" you so eloquently characterized those of us that spoke up.

Folks are acting like this is some huge mistake. Why worry about chemistry with players who weren't part of the plan for the future?

I forget who...but one even said it could set the Lakers back even further. So yeah, some folks are acting like the sky is falling.

 

[Retroram52]

Maybe IT will show some of these Lakers how to shoot FTs.

 

[trojanfan12]

Geez, these free throws are gonna kill me. They were 8-9 and then miss their last 4 in a row.

 

[trojanfan12]

Maybe IT will show some of these Lakers how to shoot FTs.

If he does nothing else, his time will be a success.

 

[Retroram52]

Dallas has gone a mini run and lead the Lakers at the end of the third by 5, 95-100.

 

[Retroram52]

I agree. Missing FTs is just killing us.

 

[Retroram52]

Good to see Randle threatening a triple double. They kept the right guy I believe.

 

[trojanfan12]

I agree. Missing FTs is just killing us.

There are least 5 games that we lost strictly because of free throw shooting.

 

[Retroram52]

I wish Lopez would get more dominating more often.

 

[Retroram52]

Don't know why we stink it up in that category but maybe these new guys will shed some help on this problem.

 

[trojanfan12]

Good to see Randle threatening a triple double. They kept the right guy I believe.

I'm officially a Julius Randle fanboy and have my hopes up that they will figure out a way to keep him.

 

[Retroram52]

Brook is keeping us in this one as we are down by three.

 

[Retroram52]

J.J. Barea is a tough player. Pisses me off that we let him roam around.

 

[Retroram52]

IT just knifed through the D on that play and we continue to let people shoot.

 

[Retroram52]

IT apparently likes to talk. He'd do himself and us a favor to just shut-up and play.
