[Retroram52]

I have stated this before, Randle just gets lost sometimes.

 

[Retroram52]

Kevin Durant is having problems in GS. I wonder if could lure him away. We sure could use his leadership, star power, and just talent level.

 

[Retroram52]

Nick Young for three and we are back in this one.

 

[Retroram52]

We got within and ten and now we are trading baskets and the lead hangs around 11-14.

 

[Retroram52]

We are down by 16-18. Don't know if this going to change demonstrably.

 

[Retroram52]

That's the Wesley Johnson I know. Clanks a wide-open shot.

 

[Retroram52]

Heurtas nails a short jumper and its a 15-point lead.

 

[Retroram52]

We don't seem to have answer for the barrage of players the Clips trot out. The margin stays basically the same.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers are within 12 but Black misses the FT.

 

[Retroram52]

Russell looks lost today as well.

 

[Retroram52]

Clips still up by 17. We just have not played together long enough to be better than we presently are.

 

[Retroram52]

The lead is 19. This game is about to be over.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep. The Lakers have conceded. The lead is 21.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers have 47 bench points and we are on pace to have the best bench league-wide in like 40 years.

 

[Retroram52]

Clarkson has 21 and he is still playing with great consistency. The lead is down to 17.

 

[Retroram52]

Another problem is players missing FTS. Heurtas misses both.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers are about to go 15-29. Three straight ass-whoopins. In all three losses, I believe we didn't break a Benjamin.

 

[Retroram52]

Now things are definitely garbage time when you have Metta shooting threes.

 

[Retroram52]

Zubac shoots the Abdul-Jabbar skyhook.

 

[Retroram52]

It's Over. 97-113. Loss number 29. On we go.
