Game 52: Los Angeles Lakers (27-25) @ Warriors (36-15)

[Dr Aki]

ah the good ole 4th quarter drought

[BEazy]

We let Iggy beat us tonight. No way that should've happened.

[ILC]

Luke..... you're a clown tonight...

Agree. He took Rondo out in the 4th, left Lance and Beasley, didn't give a single second to Mo even though he was great in the 1st.

And now they went away from everything they did throughout the game. Lance, Beasley, Kuzma, Ingram isoing while everyone stands around.

[Ball so hard]

If I were the Pelicans, I'm not sure I'd take any combination of the Lakers' young players for Davis.

First 6 minutes of the third quarter, Lakers had outscored the Warriors 23-8 to take an 81-71 lead. Since then, The Lakers have been outscored 44-16. At least they fought a little

[BEazy]

Rondo and BI I give props to tonight. Rest of the team was terrible.

[NoseBleedLakers]

Jesus, such a disappointing final 18 minutes of play, slowly leading to another blowout L.

If it wasn’t going to be Iggy it certainly would have been someone else.

They don’t know how to close.

[NoseBleedLakers]

Welp, Lakers fall back to 2 games behind the Clippers for the 8th seed with the Clippers beating Detroit. Kings currently leading the Sixers

[Landsberger]

No one really had a good game other than Rondo. Too much Ingram isolation at times. Kuzma still looks hurt, they collapsed on Zu all game and KCP and Hart couldn't provide floor spacing. Defense was pretty bad too. Rotations were not good with Ingram getting lost and Kuzma switching too much. The bench had a great stretch and we played well for a few minutes to start the third. Not sure just missing Bron made the difference.

[H00PDREAMS]

Like I said it’s going to be a showcase of talent for the Pellies sit back and enjoy the rest of the season guys and girls.

I thought he should’ve rested Rondo when Curry sat but I think Luke wanted to make up the deficit and it’s not like we had another PG to go with, really. Can’t blame him for trying but it backfired.

The fact that we hung with them through three quarters without or two of our three best playmakers and with a limping hip Kuzma, gives me comfort.

The ball stopped swinging around in the fourth and Ingram barely got a pass from Lance Dance or anyone not named Rondo.

I love Mo, think he has great potential and the fire in the belly to win and be a difference maker offensively. But watch him box out on defensive rebounds and you’ll know why Luke can’t leave him in. He can’t even box out a 10 year old. His lower body strength is pathetic and so is often his defensive positioning.

In a couple of years he will be a top ten big man offensively simply based on his fire to compete. Right now, he’s not, but he will be an impact big. What a stroke...

Btw, didn’t even see first quarter

[sardines]

Lakers should trade for Mirotic instead. This team has a 4 cylinder horsepower going against some super-charged teams on offense.

Some guys don’t wanna go to NO apparently

Javale, Lance & Beasley ---- Yes those 3 out of control headcases in the 4th quarter were upset for being called out.

[Revived]

I love this team without Lebron.

This team without him would not make the playoffs, it needs LeBron back and healthy.
