the hell Retro, them Lakers let them young pups run circles round em.

 

[Retroram52]

Indeed Jermaine. Just basically stood around and watched young players kick their ass!

Eff this. I have never seen such a bunch of overpaid, lazy-ass, pussy basketball players as this bunch save James. There is a better chance of a snowball has in hell then these prima donnas even remotely wanting to win this game before they head out on a road trip Wednesday to face the Kings.

The bench put in a strong effort and made a big run to make the score respectable. Maybe those subs should've happened sooner...

We gotta beat the Kings on Wednesday. That would be 5-1 in our last 6 games.

The 1 thing I don't like about Vogel is his subbing patterns.....not sure what he'll do when Nunn comes back, He could really help us with an injection of youth.

Monk, Nunn, Reaves and THT are 4 players who can play into our long term plans.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, I am not sure what he is doing either. Seems random at best. I agree on the youth movement. If the Lakers move Jordon and Bazemore and we somehow end-up with Grant or Lillard or even Simmons, I think our chances of going somewhere the remainder of the season improve drastically.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Hearing rumors of THT, Nunn and some1 else for Detroit's big man Grant.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ready for this game tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, there is a good chance I'll be here. Also, interesting move of Nunn, THT and probably Jordon or Bazemore to Detroit for Grant. There is also speculation that Jordon and/or Bazemore and a number one to Indiana for Myles Turner.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers starting the game with their version of Small-Ball. Basically the same starting five with THT and Reaves cycling in. We are up by 5 in the first. I think James likes playing Center. He can control the entire Lakers attack and since nobody else wants to play night-in and night-out, I say let him do it!

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers lead moves to 7.

 

[Retroram52]

2:58 left in the First Quarter. Lakes up 28-21.

 

[Retroram52]

D. Howard is playing tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers win the first Quarter and then haven't scored in the second to make it a tie game.

 

[Retroram52]

We have a Wayne Ellington sighting.

 

[Retroram52]

James as usual is doing all the Lakers scoring. Everyone else either not scoring or hit a few baskets.

 

[Retroram52]

Ariza is on the board. 39-37 Lakers.

 

[Retroram52]

James is the first in double digits.

 

[Retroram52]

Reaves scores and James nails a three and the lead is 7.

 

[Retroram52]

Westbrook scores and the lead is up to 8.
