I would love to see this team play a game where they have less than 10 turnovers. 15 and counting, looks they were due to play a crappy game. Not to mention the ref help LAL will always be in it. It's so annoying :noway:

Not surprised NBA can't have their precious Lebron and Lakers fall further under .500.

You can’t wait until the 4th to start playing with intensity.

Good comeback but why are we iso ball with Kawhi and no movement. Gives the Lakers chance to rest. and kawhi has been really bad today.

No idea why he challenged that? Leonard was telling him not to.

Next play was a worthier challenge.

Then he takes the final TO?

Mercy.

Why is Leonard out? Please tell me he's not hurt...

No but interesting rest. It would be the normal time if it were the 1st and 3rd quarters. But the 4th?

Kawhi with the let down game

That’s why you don’t waste your challenge and timeouts.

Min restriction probably. I know, Ty Belichick is a clown.

This game is another perfect example of why I'll never fully trust this team no matter how many regular-season games they win on raw talent alone vs. teams that are barely trying.

Because of the desperation that the Lakers were playing with, this had the feel of a playoff game, and Lue, PG and Harden were all in typical playoff form. Doesn't exactly fill me with confidence for how things are going to go when the actual playoff games start.

The **** that Lue pulled with Kawhi's minutes down the stretch defies all rational explanation. Why can't we ever just have a normal coach who makes logical moves?

Bloody hell

Yeah, that sucked.

Anyone outside of Zu really play well?

Leonard was on a ridiculous tear so he was due for an egg. Let this be the only one for a while.

Not Lue’s best effort either. Especially down the stretch.

Can't play down to the competition

Can't win them all, unfortunately we had it against the team I really wanted the win against. Not the end of the world remember in 2020 we beat Lakers first 2 match ups and then lost the following 2 and they won the title.

KingCrimzzon · Post #59 » by **KingCrimzzon** » Mon Jan 8, 2024 5:04 am

GOD!!!! Nothing went our way here. aweful performance from all our stars, Powell and Zu were carrying the team in the 4th. Too many TOs, weird coaching decisions and that tying shot was halfway down. Maybe next time they'll play with some sense of urgency right away. Just really frustrated, I can't stand LAL!!!

Clippers didn't look like they took the Lakers seriously this entire game
