Lakers 2021-2022 season thread

[Retroram52]

Lakers fading here before the half as usual.

 

[Retroram52]

And because the Lakers get lazy around the halftime break, the Kings have tied-it again.

 

[Retroram52]

That is how the half ended. Tied ballgame.

 

[Retroram52]

Don't know why it takes the Lakers so long to get going coming out of the halftime break but they seem to just fall asleep in the third quarter.

 

[Retroram52]

Still a tie ballgame.

 

[Retroram52]

First lead by the Kings.

 

[Retroram52]

Lead grows to 4 as the Lakers commit numerous turn-overs by just about everyone.

 

[Retroram52]

Free throw shooting just plain sucks.

 

[Retroram52]

3-point FG% is below 25%. The Lakers just can't get out of their own way fast enough.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers cut the lead to 2 points but then James fouls.

 

[Retroram52]

James with another TO.

 

[Retroram52]

James still can't seem to make two FTs in a row. After 19 years you'd think this guy could hit his FTs but nooo. Still doing stupid shit this late in his career.

 

[Retroram52]

With the 2 pointer and the and one, Westbrook ties the game.

 

[Retroram52]

Monk with the THREE to break the tie!!

 

[Retroram52]

Monk makes it a 5-point game with a nice finger-roll lay-in.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice shot made by THT and the lead is back to 4 points.

 

[Retroram52]

Westbrook with a three and the lead is up to 7 with a minute left in the third quarter.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers win the third quarter for a change and the lead is 5 points going into the fourth quarter.

 

[Retroram52]

Monk is nailing the long ball tonight. The lead grows to 8.

 

[Retroram52]

Ellington hits a three and the lead is 11.
