Game Thread: Lakers Vs Jazz Feb 25, 2015

Fucking idiotic win. Only 1 loss from being the 5th worst team. More chance to not keep the pick and then this losing season would have been to help the Suns and fuck us over more.

You should be mad at Gobert for missing those free throws and the Suns don't have our pick anymore, genius.

It doesn't matter who has the pick. It aint us if we don't suck enough

You guys are going to have to realise the team is going to win a game once in a while, especially against weak teams like Utah. Did you really expect them to go 0-26 to finish off the season?

Games like these are great development opportunities for Jordan Clarkson and he had one hell of a game.

I know they are going to win one once in awhile, but this was not a smart win. Nothing wrong with beating the Celtics or knocking off an occasional good team. Also, they are going to have those occasional games where everything clicks.

But dammit, when you're down 13 in the 4th quarter........go ahead and lose the game.

Clarkson is going to prove to be a steal in a few seasons.

 

[Retroram52]

I agree DJ. B. Scott, Nash, and possibly Kobe are great influences on the development of this guy and he showed last night what he is capable of in the NBA.

Clarkson has the potential to be All-Star material with enough mentoring, experience and confidence.
The only downside for me a bit is his consistency but that can be expected in a season like this.

But in the last 10 games, Clarkson has been averaging 14ppg in under 30 minutes. Great numbers for a rookie.

Seems like Clarkson is on a bit of a mission to prove some folks wrong.

Byron on Clarkson:

I think (Clarkson) sees all the guys that were picked higher than him and I think it is added motivation for him. He's got a little chip on his shoulder.

According to Clarkson, it's actually a big chip:

I've always had a chip on my shoulder ever since I've been a kid. I was always the kid people just stepped on (so) it just keeps getting bigger, I keep adding more stuff.

Ed Davis says the reason behind his play is simple:

He's proving to everybody that he should have been a first round pick.

Yep. He could be a very good starter once Kobe retires.

I think the Lakers should focus on re-signing Ed Davis even though he wants to try the market. This is even if the Lakers go after Monroe and Deadre Jordon.

Yep. He'd be very valuable as a backup and would also be a very dependable part time starter if any of the starters went down with an injury. Really like his energy.
