Los Angeles Lakers 2018-2019 Season Thread

[Retroram52]

Atlanta went on an 11-2 run after the Lakers pushed its lead to 15. The lead is down to a 6-point game at 87-81. Lakers bench hasn’t done a whole lot tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

James, Kuzma, Ball, Ingram are all sitting. This is good. Let the seconds fight this one out.

 

[Retroram52]

Stephensonis hitting some threes to keeps us in this game. We are shooting 43.3% from the three stripe.

 

[Retroram52]

James comes back in with he lead down to four.

 

[Retroram52]

Nope back out according to my screen.

 

[Retroram52]

We have Stephenson, KCP, Hart, Chandler, and Rondo on the floor right now.

 

[Retroram52]

Another three by Young and its a two-point game. Geez, this dude is killing us with threes.

 

[Retroram52]

McGee with the dunk gets us back to a 4-point lead.

 

[Retroram52]

We need to tighten our D down the stretch.

 

[DJ]

Struggling with these guys? Seriously?

 

[Retroram52]

McGee makes two free throws and its back to a 3-point lead.

 

[Retroram52]

The Hawks take the lead. Geez, this quarter has been total crap defensively.

 

[Retroram52]

Hawks lead! 99-98 after another Young-to-Len connection. Luke has seen enough. Timeout Lakers.

[Retroram52]

James and some starters are back in. Luke put them in because we went from a 15-point lead down to a 1-point deficit.

 

[Retroram52]

Young with another three and the Hawks go up by four. Luke needs to put somebody on this guy to shut him down.

 

[Retroram52]

Ingram made on of two FTs. The lead is three. We need a stop badly.

 

[Retroram52]

Our FT percentage is a paltry 68% compared to Atlanta's 81%. This problem continues to kill us.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice dunk by James to bring the deficit down to two.

 

[Retroram52]

James is trying to do too much by himself.
