Lakers 2021-2022 season thread

[Retroram52]

The Grizzlies come all the way back to tie the game starting the Fourth Quarter.

 

[Retroram52]

Westbrook shoots a deuce and James nails a three and the lead is back to 5.

 

[Retroram52]

Memphis takes the lead by a point.

 

[Retroram52]

3-point lead by Memphis with a 1:33 left.

 

[Retroram52]

James has 37 points tonight. The Lakers can win this game but they have to make some shots and then play defense which could be their downfall.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers get out-hustled and the lead is 5.

 

[Retroram52]

Monk scores a lay-up and the lead is three.

 

[Retroram52]

WTH? Lakers miss two attempts at three-pointers and they get their third rebound and call a time-out.

 

[Retroram52]

22-seconds left. They have to tie the game or get a defensive stop and then get a last ditch shot to go in for the win.

 

[Retroram52]

James turned-the-ball over and the Lakers have 18 TOs. Horrible.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers lose by 5 and go down to 17-19, 7-9 away. Typical Lakers collapse after being up by 14 at the end of the Third Quarter. Onward the shit-show goes back to LA for a game Friday night against the Trail Blazers.

JFC.

Apparently Ennis was released by the Nets and now he is going to be in the same building as the Lakers and a sign a 10-day with ClipJoint. The Lakers should sign this guy and get rid of say Rondo.

Clippers adding James Ennis

Keep saying it. Tonight is a must win. Basically because Portland is decimated by COVID protocols.....their bench is a who's who of the G-League and unknowns.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Lakers schedule coming up:

Portland
Minny
Sac
Atlanta
Memphis
AT Sac

They need to win 5 or all 6 of those. The schedule gets harder after that.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Rondo traded for Denzel Valentine who will be released to open up a roster spot for Stanley Johnson.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep. Sort of figured that much. Valentine doesn't do much either. Maybe the Lakers should assign him to the G-League. I would have liked the Lakers getting draft capital but I suppose the Lakers are not interested in that sort of thing or they just want to move Rondo to get Johnson signed so they don't lose him or something.

 

[Retroram52]

Now the Lakers need to find a home for Bazemore and Jordon. Also any other lazy-ass Laker who just stands around on the court giving half-ass or no effort on D.

Been informed I can't go to bed before the New Year. It will be considered rude?

By whom? The wife's grandkids are 8, 7, and 5.....doubt they would consider it rude if I turned in at my normal time.
