GAME:70 Los Angeles Lakers (31-38) @ Indiana Pacers (40-30) - LOSS - 31-39

Smh IT. Get that midget to the bench...

[TylersLakers]

I can’t wait for Ingram and Hart to come back. This team needs a jolt of energy for this last stretch of the season

And more importantly, a bench. Relying on Ennis, Wear, Zubac isn't good. That's one of the reasons I thought we were so good before the Ingram and Hart injuries. We actually got players off the court who weren't NBA players.

Lonzo
KCP
Ingram
Randle
Lopez

with Kuzma, IT, Hart off the bench.

I agree 100%. Some of these units we’ve been putting out there are unbearable.

[TylersLakers]

Lonzo's aggressiveness has been awful since the 1st quarter. Actually, all the guards have been awful since then.

[TylersLakers]

The most exciting thing in this second half was that woman being helped by her friends off the court. She looked like she was having a much better evening than the Lakers fans in the crowd.

[what would jack bauer do?]

We had a shot at a dog fight for the playoffs until Ingram and Hart went down. We're terrible without our wings.

I guess it's a good thing, we were starting to generate some overly optimistic playoff buzz there. And it would've been frustrating to fall a few games short like most likely would have.

Now if we win at a high rate to close the season, it'll be considered a hight note.

Terrible without the wings? Kuzma has been doing a great job at picking up Ingram's load and then some IMHO. While I like Hart I'm not sure he's adding as much as people think. The best thing about having them back is that the bench gets better/deeper.

Not all that upset by that loss, overall i think we played well. My only complaints are with Thomas and KCP.

I preferred this Lonzo Ball performance, took only 4 shots (got 1 but what can you do) but still got his passing in which is the main thing we need him to do right now.

3 guys getting 20 points though and Kuz had a big game.

I much prefer this loss than the loss at Miami cause it at least is one of those where you can go away and say, if we fix a few things, we're right.

we bought out Brewer at the worst time, seriously without him and Hart we are so much worse, not to mention if Ingram was available, we'd have won the last 5 games.

We're 4-5 without Ingram in a period where we needed to go 7-2. The defense has been awful. IT3 and Ball are floundering in second halves of games without Ingram on the floor.

Pacer fan coming in peace. You guys have a really strong young core. I already knew that and have watched LA several times but got to see it 1st hand last night. I am glad but also disappointed Ingram wasn't able to go. I really love his game. Ball and Kuz are going to be really really good. Randle (I know where he will end up is in question) but that guy has really turned it on once given the full opportunity by Luke. I for one really hope the off season adds a piece or two to this core. As an NBA fan, the league is much better when the Lakers and Knicks are good. You are much closer to NYK in being good and I think it is coming very soon. Enjoy the rest of the season and good luck this summer!

Thanks from many of us I'm sure, for being a cool person visiting. Many of us share those same sentiments about our young core. And good luck back!

I always liked the Pacers because of Reggie Miller... i know he's long gone, but for some reason, i dont mind losing to them.

[Spanish_Laker]

4 more wins please. A 35-win season is a success taking into account the improvement over the few years. We really need to finish the season strong for our free agent campaign.
