Lakers 2021-2022 season thread

[DJ Fieri]

Holy shit, what an ass whooping.

Four straight losses and with the Christmas day game against the Nets it'll be 5. Last night's game was the worst I have seen the Lakers play. The only Laker to have a good game was James. Westbrook had quite a few points himself but he struggled the whole night. Everybody looked disinterested and apathetic like: "Hey man, it's Christmas. eff-it!

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, 110-138 by a team that came into the game 13-17. Laughable!

 

[Retroram52]

Now the Lakers are desperate. They are signing just about any body and if a whole roster with nearly nothing but old guys isn't working, why would you sign another RETIRED player? Why didn't ya sign James Ennis when you had the chance. Pelinka has flipped!

Lakers signing Darren Collison, Stanley Johnson to 10-day deals

The Los Angeles Lakers Friday signed two more players to 10-day deals via hardship exemption.

Needed bodies and we brought in Collison and Stanley Johnson.

Collison made 40% of his treys the last season he played and I doubt he's turned into a fattie.....he could make RW expendable.

 

[DJ Fieri]

RW for Hield and a body.....heard the Kings may trade Fox. If so, they could use RW to sell tickets.

 

[Retroram52]

That would work DJ. But the fact remains the Lakers screwed the pooch with this idea and this present roster which is not working and they are going to have to continue to find players who can and want to play like the two Joneses they just signed. Jemerrio Jones played on Thursday against the Spurs and scored a couple of points while he was there faster than say Bazemore who still can't hit a basket of note.

I need mucho beer to deal with these kids.

 

[Retroram52]

That's why I say better you than me DJ. Kids, and a lot of them, can be a real chore for anybody on Christmas day!

 

[Retroram52]

Well the Lakers look like their usual apathetic and lethargic selves and the Nets already lead by 7 without Irving and Durant!

 

[Retroram52]

The lead has grown to 11 already. This may be loss-in-a-row number 5 in the making.

 

[Retroram52]

The Nets are playing excellent D blocking shots and the Lakers looked like they don't know what to do!

 

[Retroram52]

Halfway through the First Quarter and the Lakers already have 4 TOs. This is another major issue killing these Lakers.

 

[Retroram52]

It took the Lakers half a quarter to score 10 points while the Nets are well on their way to 30 points. This is looking alot like the ass-whippin the Lakers endured Thursday in this same building.

 

[Retroram52]

Newly signed Stanley Johnson is in the game. Dude scores immediately.

 

[Retroram52]

Harden blows by Ellington like he is a statue. With James' two FTs, the Lakers are down by 8.

 

[Retroram52]

Apparently Westbrook is not the only Pro basketball player that misses driving lay-ups.

 

[Retroram52]

3:34 left in the first Quarter and the Lakers remain 8 down.

 

[Retroram52]

Stanley Johnson scores again and the Lakers are back to be 10-down, 28-18. Don't know if the Lakers are going to get to 20 in the First Quarter.

 

[Retroram52]

Anthony still hasn't scored. Ofer.
