Lakers 2021-2022 season thread

[Retroram52]

Can't win games when ya piss-away scoring opportunities by missing technical FTs like IT just did.

 

[Retroram52]

James 2 FTs made cuts the lead to 6.

 

[Retroram52]

Ariza is 4-4 tonight and 3-3 from the 3-point range.

 

[Retroram52]

THT is ofer. 0-8. Maybe the Lakers should send him on out the door for one of those Indiana Pacer players.

 

[Retroram52]

End of Third Quarter and the Lakers are down by 12.

 

[Retroram52]

THT is 1-11. Good grief he is horrible tonight and in the last three games.

 

[Retroram52]

And the lead by the Suns is now 15.

 

[Retroram52]

Call a timeout ya bunch of disjointed, lazy, over-paid pussies. This 'team" is a complete joke.

 

[Retroram52]

This one is done. Back to .500 for a hopeless pile of dogshit of a team.

I'm starting to think the best shot at a title in AZ has shifted from the Cards to the Suns. After getting spanked by the Rams and then spanked harder by the Lions, my Cards hopes have faded.

The suns are a deep team and can beat you in so many ways. GG Retro... LAL are just too old and too dependant on Lebron. Although, it is a long season and things can change in a hurry.

Something's gotta change.

This team isn;t right.

 

[Retroram52]

What has to change is attitude and age of the players. The Lakers shit-the-bed when they went with this line-up instead of at least bringing in Ball of the three the Lakers supposedly they could not afford. Now the Lakers are starting to sign younger, defensive-minded, players because many of the present roster just refuses to exert any sort of definitive playing effort.

Rather they stand around or run-up-and-down the court doing little else and are leaving the winning of games on AD and James' shoulders. Now there appears to be an under-current of resentment amongst these guys and they have tuned Vogel out.

So there is a lot of losing going to come down the pike until the management changes the roster and they move on toward the future which will be without James and maybe even AD.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Beating SA is a must win tonight.

We cannot fall below .500 with all these home games coming up.

 

[DJ Fieri]

You doing anything for Christmas @Retroram52?

[Retroram52]

You doing anything for Christmas @Retroram52?

No. Not much. Reading, sleeping, eating and watching the Lakers. And you?

 

[DJ Fieri]

No. Not much. Reading, sleeping, eating and watching the Lakers. And you?

Spending time with the wife's family and a bunch of kids.

 

[Retroram52]

I am glad its you dude! LOL!!

 

[Retroram52]

Even with all the losing and not being right, the Lakers are 6th in the West. Unbelievable.

 

[Retroram52]

Well, everyone looks like they want to play tonight.
