Game 26: LA Lakers at Memphis Grizzlies, 12/09/2021 8:00 PM

[TylersLakers]

This might be the most embarrassing night of the season, that’s saying something.

[Mamba Mentality]

Lebron/AD pick and roll finally making an appearance late into the 4th.

[Mamba Mentality]

I still cant get over how this elite defensive team was blown up in favor of some extra offense, and we still can’t score when we need to.

[RamonSessions7]

A coaching change isn’t going to fix a thing. Westbrook isn’t going to magically get not awful and the offense will continue to stagnate with the hilarious lack of ball movement. Lebron doesn’t even try on defense 60% of the time and much of the roster has the worst collective bball iq ive seen on that side of the court. On top of it, AD is just bleh out there

[BEazy]

Yeah but usually the first one to go is the coach because front office won't admit to their **** ups.

[NoseBleedLakers]

No Brooks, no Morant, no problem for the Grizzlies. They made this one look easy.

Lakers back to their garbage ways. Found a way to lose another one with 22 turnovers. They'll probably find a way to lose again tomorrow night against their daddy OKC Thunder.

[chefy]

This team is sad.

When the **** Rob Pelinka is going to understand that guys like Westbrook or Carmelo has to go?. Seriously guys like Davis are going to play defense for what. He knows that if he is going to play defense the Westbrook or Carmelo next to him is going to sabotage his effort. Why you sign guys that make some really bad habits in every team they have played in like the last 5 years?.

Lebron looked at the boxscore and was very disappointed.... that he just scored 20 points he’s probably regretting that he only took 6 3’s, should have attempted like 12 times and deprived brick layers Ellington and Monk to miss too many 3 pt shots

[Landsberger]

I thought the Boston game was as much them having a very poor game as us having a good one. Went from dominating points in the paint to settling for 3's. When Bron and Westbrook combine for 11 turnovers as your primary ball handlers it's also going to be a long night.

Bros before D....

No Brooks, no Morant, no problem for the Grizzlies. They made this one look easy .

Well, Not having Ariza and Nunn is equivalent to them missing Brooks and Ja, duh.
But seriously, Memphis have been beating other teams without their top 2 players, Jenkins has been looking good since last year esp after eliminating the Warriors last play in.

[Freighttrain]

It's been brutal watching the Lakers thus far. This somehow felt like we reached another rock bottom. Without Ja Morant, we should've always won that game. Something has to happen. Whether that be a change of players, coaching, work ethic,.. Even when we win it feels like we scrap and claw to get a victory, barely hanging on. I have yet to see us win a comfortable game. Only the Boston game perhaps, but still after 25 games, that's terrible. We're far from being a serious contender, let alone a favorite. It looks bleak at this moment.

[Hans1984]

This team is TRASH. Bunch of old men trying to hoop.

Wake me up when these guys have won 5 in a row until then I don't want to hear a word from them.

[Landsberger]

Multi-Alpha teams rarely if ever work. That Miami team is about the only one I can remember quite frankly.

Westbrook and Melo have never been able to lead and are not mentally able to carry a team. Davis is what I feared he was when we traded everyone for him.... a good forward who is injury prone. He's not the "get on my back" type either. Bron is showing that Father time is coming for a visit and the rest of the team is made up of guys who'd be 9th men on a contender.

[Ball so hard]

A coaching change isn’t going to fix a thing. Westbrook isn’t going to magically get not awful and the offense will continue to stagnate with the hilarious lack of ball movement.

60% of the time??? At least 90% of the time Lebron doesn't play defense. He's basically a traffic cone out there. Agree a coaching change isn't going to fix much, however, it's probably inevitable at this point. If we fire Vogel, make no roster changes, and promote Fizdale i'll stop watching Lakers games this season.
