Lakers 2021-2022 season thread

[Retroram52]

The lead has ballooned to 12 and this is now going to be another Spurs-type ass-whippin.

 

[Retroram52]

Holy Cow, Johnson is scoring with the three and now has 7 points. This guy may be the real deal.

 

[Retroram52]

Don't take Johnson out and replace him with Monk!!

 

[Retroram52]

Darren Collison makes an appearance.

 

[Retroram52]

AS the First Quarter ends, the Lakers have 7 TOs, haven't played a lick of defense, and the lead is now 15.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers lose the First Quarter 38-23. Most of the Lakers look like their usual apathetic, lethargic selves, where "I don't give a shit" abounds!

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers come back in the Second Quarter with a 9-2 run and lead is now 32-40, Nets.

 

[Retroram52]

Anthony has not scores and neither has Collison. Collison looks every bit retired and this signing is not looking very good right out of the box.

 

[Retroram52]

We are out-rebounding the Nets but our 3-point percentage tonight is terrible. At 22%.

 

[Retroram52]

I don't know who is coaching tonight since Vogel is the Health and Safety protocols but why is Stanley Johnson sitting on the bench when the dude scored 7 points in a matter of minutes and Anthony is still playing and he is ofer!?

 

[Retroram52]

With 7 to go to the half, the Lakers are down by 9 and Johnson is back in.

 

[Retroram52]

They should sit Anthony and Collison and play the younger set that are playing real pro basketball with some vigor and like they give a shit.

 

[Retroram52]

Monk blocked Harden. Good D. Go with Johnson, Monk, and THT the rest of the Quarter.

 

[Retroram52]

Monk and Johnson keeping the Lakes with a nice manageable distance.

 

[Retroram52]

Monk with the lay-up and one.

 

[Retroram52]

Get Anthony out of there and bring in the rookie Center Huff and let the youngsters play the remaining Second Quarter minutes without the old farts.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers are winning the Second Quarter. Coaching should go with the young guys they rest of the Quarter and see what they can do.

 

[Retroram52]

With 2:41 left in the Second Quarter, the Lakers have the lead cut to 10.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lead is now just 6 with the young guys and James, The half is here 60-66. Not much D played just like in the Spurs game. The difference between the Lakers that played on Thursday and the ones that are playing tonight is tonight's Lakers are scoring more.

 

[Retroram52]

Westbrook's two FTs and the Lakers cut the lead to just 4, 62-66. This is a better development than Thursday's game.
