Los Angeles Lakers 2018-2019 Season Thread

[Retroram52]

Preliminary diagnosis on Ball is a sprained left ankle, as per Lakers release.

 

[Retroram52]

I don't know DJ. Right now we hold a 7-point lead and Stephenson and Beasley are making shots and Shaw is letting them shoot away.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice lay-up by Hart and the lead is 5.

 

[Retroram52]

At least Zubac can make both his FTs.

 

[Retroram52]

Zubac has been on a tear of late and he is playing well tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

Excellent three-pointer by Stephenson. Big bucket there.

 

[Retroram52]

All of the youngsters are out and Shaw is going with the players who want to hustle, make shots, play D, and take home the win!

 

[Retroram52]

Kuzma is back in with 30 points and at the 7 minute mark we are up by 8.

 

[Retroram52]

Lance refuses to miss. 3-3 from deep in the fourth.

 

[Retroram52]

Kuzma nails both FTs and the lead is still 8.

 

[Retroram52]

Kuzma’s up to a game-high 32 points after a pair of FT’s drawn off ball with LAL in the bonus.

 

[Retroram52]

Zubac makes two FTs and the lead is back to 10.

 

[Retroram52]

Green nails the three and we are up by 7.

 

[Retroram52]

Two quick baskets and the lead is 5.

 

[Retroram52]

Shaw calls timeout with 4:46 remaining. We need to keep the peddle down these last 4 minutes to secure this win.

 

[DJ Fieri]

If we can find a way to hold onto the lead and win......this would be huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Our shot selection has been suspect n the 2nd half.

 

[Retroram52]

The lead is 7 with under three minutes remaining. We keep going we'll take the win as Zubac is having another great game.

 

[Retroram52]

Brian Shaw goes back to Ingram at the 3:38 mark, with Hart going to the bench. Shaw seems to be better at rotations with the scenarios of the game than maybe Walton. That's debatable though.

 

[Retroram52]

Ingram makes two FTs but Harden answers with a three and the lead is 6.
