Danny Green needs to look himself in the mirror today. Just an all around trash game from him.

This is what happened in the regular season. They're doing the same exact bull... I wonder why they don't give Dwight some plays. It's not like he suddenly forgot how to score the ball...

I guess after our playoff drought the second round is an improvement.

Houston's fans said this would happen. They picked their team in 6 and I didn't see anything tonight to make me think otherwise. Smh

yea I've been thinking about this. Phil Jackson did it against the 05 suns against the playoffs with Kwame to slowdown the game.

Looking at the boxscore it's just Westbrook, Harden, and Gordon. The rest of the team didn't do ****...

Hard to fathom how **** our offense is for stretches in the game when we have AD and Lebron. This was an embarrassing showing.

This team needs to figure something out, otherwise we're going to lose to the Phoenix Suns. (Antoni never changes)

Davis is so soft man. He can be dominant when he wants to be but the guy insists on shooting fadeaways like hes MJ. Also gotta ask, why exactly is Danny Green still getting minutes? What has he done to earn a single minute of his playing time? The "Elite 3 and D" plays no D and can't shoot 3 these days so why is he getting minutes?

If Rondo is such a big part of the game plan, why did he not play any game in the portland round? He needed the reps since he hadn't played since March and yet we sat him for some bull back spasm. It's the playoffs, you play through that ****. He needed the game time to get his rhythm back.

The Lakers offensively played horribly.

GG my mangs. It's good to see some familiar names here coming alive. I have a feeling we will lose game 2 too and then take games 3 and 4. Lakers looked too out of sync.

Los Angeles Lakers - letting guards dominate them since 1030 B.C.

Honestly the bigs should have been more aggressive with getting boards but I put a lot of this loss on the game plan and Vogel. It's been well documented that LeBron and Rondo don't work well together. In the 4th quarter there was a line up with Rondo, AD, and LBJ and it was awfulness. The defender sags off Rondo and crowds the paint. AD can't drive cuz he will get doubled and has to force a jumper. Lebron was doing the same thing.

Another thing, a lot off people think that since Houston runs small that you play them in the post. They are good post defenders because they are strong and feisty. You have to play above the rim. Rebound high, throw lobs. Javale and dwight should have feasted tonight.

Judging from Vogel's post game interview, it seems like we're just going to have to get used to Rondo getting minutes.

We’ll only have to get used to it for a few more games at this rate.

Return to Los Angeles Lakers
