Lakers 2021-2022 season thread

James' bucket makes it a 2-point game!

 

[Retroram52]

That Patty Mills three was a dagger. Lead back to 5 with 1:15 left.

 

[Retroram52]

James with a three. This time down the Lakers can tie or take the lead!

 

[Retroram52]

Tie GAME!!! Monk with the lay-up!!

 

[Retroram52]

Monk has 20, James 39, and Anthony 17. Lakers have come all-the-way back to tie the game with 45 seconds left.

 

[Retroram52]

That was just plain stupid fouling the shooter.

 

[Retroram52]

Now the Nets lead is back to 3.

 

[Retroram52]

How does Westbrook miss a dunk? Geez!

 

[Retroram52]

This one is about done if the Nets make their FTs.

 

[Retroram52]

20 Seconds left, 5 point lead.

 

[Retroram52]

What is even more stupid is fouling James harden who is very good at shooting FTs. So instead of 3-point lead ya now have 5-point lead.

 

[Retroram52]

And James misses a three-pointer. Game over.

 

[DJ Fieri]

James is a boss.....we almost come all the way back.

 

[Retroram52]

Harden makes two FTs and the game is over. Lakers lose five-in-a-row. Off they go Tuesday to Houston maybe win the game.

Lakers are now 16-18 and .500 at home. The shit-show continues even though they gave a respectable performance tonight against a short-handed Nets. Tuesday night in Houston may stop the slide but I am not holding my breath.

 

[Retroram52]

Why do the Lakers' FO stand idly by and let these players go sign with somebody else? They are just too slow to respond with any substance and yet they continue put interest markers out there only to be usurped by another team.

They'll beat the Rockets.

We shall see, dude. Enjoy the rest of your Christmas day perhaps without the kids! LOL!

And rightly so. Johnson is a def keeper because of his attributes listed in this article.

This author articulates fairly well why the Lakers effed-themselves when they went the route of trading what they did to get Westbrook and what he has manifested on the playing floor since he has been with the Lakers. And now, according to many including this dude, the Lakers may not be able to rid themselves of Westbrook due to that albatross (Short-Buss-like) contract.

The Lakers may not be able to trade Russell Westbrook at all due to the many problems his contract presents to potentially interested teams.
