I hate to say this again, but we need to lose this one.

agreed that it DOES suck to want your team to lose, but i guess for the greater good...

 

[Retroram52]

You all won't have to wish for a loss. It is going to happen because this team has reach the proverbial bottom. That much is obvious.

 

[Hangman]

Nash might not play. Strained his groin last game.

 

[Retroram52]

I swear Hangman, it seems Nash steps on the floor he gets injured. I admire his grit and determination but I really think for his long-term health, he should just medically retire already!

I'm on the fence on this. On the one hand, I understand and respect his desire to get back, to earn the money that the Lakers are paying him and go out on his own terms. On the other hand, as you point out, I just can't see how this is good for his long term health.

It has to be frustrating as hell for him. The few times that he has been able to play, he has shown that he can still play at a high level (11 assists in 19 minutes vs. the Wiz). But it seems like he's only able to play for a game or 2 before he hurts something else.

Nash is a true walking Band-Aid.

 

[trojanfight]

Orlando is just as bad as lakers....found a way to lose with a late lead vs Utah...even if Orlando wins tonight..im not sure the lakers will catch them in loss column.

 

[Retroram52]

Let's see if the Lakers will play any defense tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

Jordon Hill needs to cut that hair. No other way to put it with that mess on his head.

 

[Retroram52]

Meeks for three.

 

[Retroram52]

Pau is starting decent tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

6 turnovers in 5 minutes. Orlando is as bad or worse than the Lakers.

 

[Retroram52]

The D has shown up tonight. Whoohoo!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Jordon Hill has come to play tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

Pau is definitely playin' tonight!

 

[Retroram52]

Bazemore and Sacre are in.

 

[Retroram52]

Swaggy draws another four-point play. This dude just has a way to draw the foul from the three-point arc.
