I think some of what Walton said was... "BUM.... **** HIM!".

This wouldn't have happened if Ingram was healthy

Agree he's going to be our go to finisher, I've really noticed his prescense being missed this past few games, that's good though shows his development, hope he's healthy soon.

KCp shoved Murray in to the stands, which probably triggered him to start talking trash.

I swear to god Randle is the single dumbest player in the entire NBA. He has literally ZERO court sense and bbiq. Just a complete moron out there. He doesn't even know when to roll to the hole after setting a pick, something you should know by junior year of high school. He had one where he set the pick for Lonzo, both defenders went with Lonzo and Lonzo looked for the roll, but Randle was just standing there with his thumb up his ass.


I hope they let this bum walk.

Yeah that's it for the Playoffs unfortunately. That 9 game losing streak really hurt, the last 27 games have been too little too late. If we even went like 4-5 in those 9 games we'd still be in the running, but oh well.

Winning over 35 games would make the season a win still, let's shoot for that. .500 is still a possibility, need to go 12-5, long shot given some of our upcoming opponents but still more likely than making the Playoffs at this stage.

Without Ingram in the lineup Randle is useless down the stretch, you can't play him with brook he HAS to be the center to make it work. Since we couldn't play with Ball - KCP - Ingram - Kuz - Randle, I understand why Walton has to choose, and Brook was great tonight.
Randle's IQ is still questionable and it's a good thing since we don't need his value to go up...
Still was one of the best player in the 3rd quarter so I don't worry about him, he's a 4th best player in a good team.

what a bad way to lose, we lost that game ourselves, seriously we should have had that one.

We have said that about so many games

but we're actually a competent team now, lets be honest, even though we're 29-36, this is basically a team in terms of quality where you'd say we're pretty even with Denver for the most part and should be putting away games like that.

1-8 Lonzo's 3pt...OUCH.

By the way, enjoy the sweep in the first round, Nuggets!

It's like playing 5 against 4 on defense when IT is on the floor. His defense SUCKED yesterday. And I can't stand when he just dribbles aimlessly with his head down only to panic pass it last second when he suddenly has to pick up his dribble because he gets lost dribbling too much.

Ball hog.

Luke has to hold him accountable to following coach's orders like he did Lopez. On both ends.

I want to see Caruso get more minutes next game.

I'm on the side that Randle cost us the game in the 4th. His two turnovers (his once a game charge and throwing the ball at Brook's feet). Not to mention is terrible defense with Lopez down in the paint.

IT didn't help, but Randle killed us. I'm glad Luke took him out.

Indeed he did. He looked very out of it the whole game. The frustrating part of randles game is that he’s so talented but he really doesn’t have much of a feel for the game. He scares me every time he has the ball cause he’s due for a bad decision every now and then.

We’ve lost two of our last 3, and they’re both to playoff teams.
We were in both games until the last couple of minutes and could have won both.
I thought the POR loss was due to poor defensive execution at the end, allowing Lilard to go off.
And I thought the DEN loss was due to bad offensive execution in the last 5 minutes. It became too much one on one and the guys stopped moving .
Both winnable games.
Part of the growing pains and I think we’re closer than we think to winning these games on a regular basis.
We played very well last night until the last 5 minutes.

Well I got a lot for this to say.

First of all. Lonzo Ball this was Lonzo Balls' best game as a Laker some might not agree with me.

But what I saw Was the Chino Hills Lonzo the pace he was playing at was awesome. he was active on the defensive end getting steals getting deflections. and he was just every where all over the floor. he was playing help defense he was talking I'm so stoked to say that. He was great on offense aggressive getting guys involved and going at the basket.

People will point to the 1-8 but I like it cause he was taking three's if we are going to be a championship team Lonzo has to take thee's he'll start making them I'm not Worried about that. What I like was the thee's he shot were almost in. and he was aggressive. that what Curry is that's what Klay is.

I remember an NBA guy telling me when Klay first started he was missing a lot of his three's and he was saying he's still great you can see the three's almost going in. he's going to be a great player a great shooter.


This was the first time I saw Lonzo get some dog in him. he got pissed went at Jamal Murray and you can see after the game. he wasn't going to get punked by these guys. he called Jamal Murray a punk move. said he can't wait to play them on Tuesday.
that's what you want Lonzo getting after it wanting to play those guys again.

I remember guys in here talking about they want to see Lonzo's personality he doesn't say anything me included but you finally saw that. this was the Russell Westbrook I saw in him a guy who can impact the game from all Angles he can play defense get guys involved shoot score. and he's long and lanky.

AND he got the ball to Lopez early and made a point to get the ball to brook Lopez early keep your big man engaged in the game. like I said last game. you have to feed your big man so he can keep playing and stay aggressive. we have to feed Lopez and Lonzo made a point to do that.


Lopez this is the guy that I wanted to resign and still want to resign this is our Gronk to Lonzo's Brady. this is what I was talking about a guy you can resign who can give you great scoring in the post great post play spread the Floor. like Kuzma said this is the Brooklyn Lopez we know he can do it. one of the best post big men in the NBA. he has to stay aggressive and try to keep getting his no more hanging around the perimeter if the thee is there take it. but get in the post and score from the post. that's what two 29 points games in a row. keep riding him.


Randle played great but he's got to play under control and stop trying to push the ball and do everything and wave off Lonzo his out of control play lead to the Denver Nuggetts avalanche that I knew was coming. we good though well see them on TUesday.

with Brandon ingram back this is a completely different game. and Jamal Murray I called out his punk move with the dribble around Lonzo glad guys on our team are calling him out. he's a punk for that he knew what he was doing pretty sure next game he'll get some chin music when he goes to the basket.

I like the Nuggets Lakers rivalry.

Klay was 23 of 55 (41%) in his first 20 games in the NBA from 3. He's 42% on his career, so.... slow was .1%? ..... btw... he was 31-67 on 3's in the next 20 games. So, 40 games in he was shooting better than his career mark by 2.8% Who was this "NBA Guy"?
