Game Thread: Lakers Vs Rockets Jan 8, 2014

It's down to 11 with hacka-fart boy. 5-14 from the Charity stripe.

 

[Retroram52]

If we can start hitting shots every trip down, this hacka-fart boy strategy may actually work.

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

What a joke!!

 

[Retroram52]

There is one of the problems. Four Lakers standing flat-footed on a free-throw rebound and a Rocket streaks in and nearly secured the rebound.

 

[Retroram52]

There you have it. Stu is pontificating about the merits of the young guys working on the fundamentals of the game which we seem to have a corner on the market.

 

[Retroram52]

There is Jones out-rebounding Kaman. Stu states that we need to go back to fundamentals-no boxing out.

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

Another game were we give up 110+ points

 

[Retroram52]

Lack of fundamentals leads to a plethora of problems most notably TOs of which we have again 18 tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

What the hell is Kaman doing!

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

HAhahahaahahahhaa!! Mark Madsen was trying to get a high five & got ignored.

 

[Retroram52]

Kelly has two points! Really??

 

[Retroram52]

How do you miss a lay-up three feet away?

 

[Retroram52]

Off we go 14-22 to the next disaster.

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

So the Lakers have given up a total of 360 points in their last 3 games, very nice every loss is a victory.

 

[Black Adam]

Off we go 14-22 to the next disaster.

Clippers Friday, right? even without CP3 it could get ugly. we'll see...

 

[Retroram52]

Yea especially with Matt Barnes around talking trash and Griffin thinking he is all-world. Rivers is the mastermind of thug ball and wherever he goes he teaches it. You might be right CL67.

I hate the idea of tanking and I'm sure anyone who's ever played competitive sports will agree with me. I want the Lakers to win each and every single game, and I'll be rooting for them to win every game till the day I die.

That being said, if they were to get a terrible record at the end of the season in order to get a good draft pick, I could certainly live with that.

That's pretty much how I feel. I can't stoop to the low level of actually rooting against the Lakers. However, I'm not really disappointed if they lose. It's obviously a good thing specific to this season.

Count me in. Watching some of this krap is difficult but it reminds me of the Lakers basketball I had to watch in the late 70's before Dr. Buss bought the team and Magic and Kareem showed up.
