Clarkson's statline doesn't look that bad actually, but it still feels like he played like hell. 4 assists and clawed back to 4-11 shooting

Randle is straight sad this game, though

He's never been anything but an average defender. I don't get where his decent reputation comes from. His skill is more in his ability to catch and react, and set good screens, move the ball... all offence stuff.

He can't jump, never really could.

But yes this team has a glaring lack of shotblocking... or at least a rim defender.

Lakers a whopping 9/31 from the field in this 2nd half lol.

They're right on cue with all their miserable antics. No defense. Dumbest turnovers known to man in the NBA. Can't make shots to save their lives.

Im sorry but Randle has been garbage this game

And there is point number 62 in the paint for Sacramento

Yeah he was never a big rim protector but at least he provided some. He's provided zero for us. And no one outside of him is even halfway decent.

He's been OK. Lou is having a rare off game. Russell is shooting well anyway.

This game blew up and the youth couldn't mentally stop the bleeding and collapsed.

Hustle doesn't slump..... Robinson has been the best player tonight.

Damn Deng.

You could have the best defensive schemes in history but if no one on your team is capable of staying in front of their man, you're going to get spanked regularly.

Yep -- Our guards let opposing guards blow by everytime.

So annoying watching D like this. No effort.

Yup.

A lot of our issues with points in the paint start on the perimeter. You can't expect anyone to be a "rim protector" with the perimeter defense we have. You have to put some resistance on the ball.

TJM217 · Post #194 » by **TJM217** » Tue Dec 13, 2016 5:49 am

MWP sighting!! Well this game is done

lake_show · Post #195 » by **lake_show** » Tue Dec 13, 2016 5:50 am

Even better... Zubac sighting.

Post #196 » by **Jakay** » Tue Dec 13, 2016 5:52 am

A bucket every ten seconds... right back in this.

Bad D all around.

I think we're going 0-7 on this road trip lol.

Post #199 » by **Jakay** » Tue Dec 13, 2016 5:54 am

Okay, one point every two seconds... game's not over till it's over.

Oh it's like they just gave up there...

Yet another blowout loss on the road for these losers.

Lakers succumb the 9th seed to Sacramento.
