Emergency Game Thread: Lakers @ Rockets

When do you guyz think Scott might get canned?

They'll let him coach the last two games for sure and then he's gonna be axed.

I hope so.

Worst season ever and then we will probably lose the pick too. What a nightmare...

[JonnyCage]

Losing the pick isn't the end of the world as long as the Lakers are fortunate enough to add top talent in FA.

Can't wait to see what management says once this season is done.

Man.. crazy atmosphere in the building. There were dudes selling bootlegged Kobe jerseys right from the freeway exit to the arena. Kobe made some big shots which was nice to see, the last time I watched him live was pretty disappointing compared to this. So well satisfied to be at his third last game.

Clarkson signed a ton of stuff for the fans including Kobe jerseys, which was nice to see.

It's always nice to see players give something to the fans, Clarkson is gonna make a lot of fans in his NBA career.

I hope the team gives a last good hurrah performance for Kobe in the last game.

How can a player as big and strong as Hibbert play 24min, and only attempt 6 shots, much less only score 2 freaking points...

I feel' your pain. He's been a complete disappointment I remember he was actually decent during the preseason. I don't see how he's back next year unless he takes a major paycut.

There was a 3 play sequence in the 3rd quarter where he got muscled out of a rebound, turned over on a simple screen and roll play and gave up an easy lay up. Byron called a time out and openly started shaking his head at Roy while the whole Lakers fan section was booing the life out of him. That sums up his life in the NBA right now. I've never seen such a big waste of space.

Yep. Where's the guy that we saw in pre-season? No where to be found.

[Kilroy]

I had high hopes... I thought he was a guy that just needed a new Zip code. But he's clearly not that... He needs to be a backup on a good team. He's clearly not a starter anymore. He needs to have the freedom to contribute what he can, when it suits him. He's not a day in day out performer anymore.

But still... It just baffles me when a player like him, who clearly has the body and basic skills to contribute, just doesn't...

[Slava]

His physique itself is very weird, he has a tree trunk kind of frame where there is no balance or proportion to him. He falls over on a comically regular basis and his lower body is severely out of sync with the rest of him. Its a miracle he's so sustainable despite wear and tear for his frame and size.

[MAMBAEMD]

I thought Roy would at least be a solid defender, a "rim protector". He didn't do much of that.
He turned out to be slow, and somewhat soft. I've never seen a big get knocked down so many times.
And his offense was very disappointing.
He averaged 6 points and 5 rebounds and shot 45 %. Terrible numbers for a big

[RingsDontLie]

Byron let that game get away. We had our bench in there too long against their starters. By the time Scott switched our starters in, they were up 13. I cannot wait until Byron is gone. I hope we an get Luke Walton.

[warrenpeace]

Glad Byron called out his young starting backcourt for having only 2 assist the last game, today day had 8 assist. There is no excuse for having only 2 assist in 66 minutes. Either setup your teammates or learn to setup your teammates.

Wish I watched this game oh well another game missed - due to being in different stupid time zones and starting work late...

Who are the last 2 games? - last game is Utah?
