Los Angeles Lakers 2018-2019 Season Thread

[Retroram52]

What do you think is the likely outcome for the Rams in the postseason, @Retroram52?

Unless we learn from last year's debacle, we will be one and done because we continue to give up big plays on defense. But we have some new weapons in the running game that may get us past the first round after the bye week because it makes our offense that much more dangerous.

 

[Retroram52]

KCP is on a shooting tear. Making the case not to trade him I guess.

 

[Retroram52]

We are down by 4 at the end of three because the Queens are finishing the quarters strong compared to our tendency to go to sleep the last few minutes of the quarter.

KCP is on a shooting tear. Making the case not to trade him I guess.

Or to increase his trade value....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Going to call it a night on here....take care.

 

[Retroram52]

Couple of threes and the lead is back to 7.

 

[Retroram52]

Ball makes a three and the lead is down to 4.

 

[Inimical]

Man KCP is so inconsistent this year. Frustrating.

 

[Retroram52]

We just can't get over the hump because we continue to not play D especially transition D.

 

[Retroram52]

Here is another problem: Fast break points tonight Kings 23, Lakers 10.

 

[Retroram52]

7-0 run gives the Kings a 108-101 lead with 7:23 to go.

 

[Retroram52]

Now everyone on both sides can't hit a shot.

 

[Retroram52]

We are missing lay-ups and dunks. What the hell?

 

[Retroram52]

Down by three we are getting closer as we are making some threes and key shots down the stretch but many plays are now just missing shots.

 

[Retroram52]

Big-time push by the Lakers, as Kuzma hits a 3, then Ingram makes a tough lay-up over WCS. Lakers trail 110-108 with 3:32 remaining.

 

[Retroram52]

Ingram makes a three and we are up by 5 with 1:22 to go.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers trailed 110-103 at the 4:30 mark. They’re up 115-110 with 1:39 left. That’s a good time for a 12-0 run.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers called for defensive 3 seconds for the third time tonight but Hield misses the free throw anyways.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers are getting stop after stop in this 4th Q after struggling for stops in the 1st 3. Kings have just 14 points in the 4th.

 

[Retroram52]

KCP hits two FTs and the lead is 7.
