So last time I did the Lakers Raps game, the Lakers had just been blown out badly, and the Raptors had just lost a really close game to the Warriors. That was about three weeks ago.

And here we are again.



Most Turnovers Per Game
Kobe: 2.1
Russell: 2.1
Randle: 1.8

Most Blocked Attempts Per Game
Randle: 1.1
Williams: 0.8
Clarkson: 0.8



Most Turnovers Per Game
Lowry: 3
Derozan: 2.4
Carroll: 1.6

Most Blocked Attempts Per Game
Derozan: 1.4
Lowry: 1.0
Carroll: 0.7

Sort of candy:

Hopefully the young guys get 30+ minutes

This team has no identity. Scott has no idea if the young trio should get minutes or if he should try playing the experienced players more... Basically a season that lacks a direction...

but Hey there is Kobes farewell tour BABY!

Hard to care much at this point.

63 games to go. Next year cant come fast enough

Man the season goes by so slow when you suck.

For Lakers Next coach I want someone who's more strict on

- passing 2-3 times per possession < too many iso plays and 1 pass = shot taken doesn't work every play
- Boxing out every player every time a shot goes up << Back to basics too many teams getting 2nd chances cause guys aren't boxing out and watching their man as a shot goes up.
- Not only I want more ball movement but also want off the ball movement. Too many people sit there watching doing nothing.

Yeah I know man. To those who are saying enjoy every bit of Kobe basketball this season are clearly just riding his...

I want him to overcome this, I really do. But not the expense of development and winning. If you can't get both, at least do one thing. Show these young players the right mindset and set the right culture.

Kobe is too proud to admit it and just sit. Someone has to step up.

lol and we were all waiting for this season to start already haha.

I'm excited... Not about this game in particular but about our team in general. Our young kids look good and despite how inept BS is every game they show flashes of getting better.

Last game we ACTUALLY RAN A PLAY FOR DLO!!! and it looked good. That blew me away. What, you mean we can actually run effective plays for these guys? I mean I know we run about 30 plays a game to get Kobe open... But you're telling me we don't only have to run the dribble, dribble, crossover, dribble, pump fake, pump fake, shoot play everytime down the court? WHAT?!?!? Lol

Clarkson struggled tonight but more, and more he's just looking like a legitimate scorer in this league. Randel's a beast offensively and on the boards. My boy DLo just does everything apparently. And even Nance seems like he'll be a solid contributor for years to come.

I'm only watching these game for those guys. Kobe and Lou combine for about 27 shot attempts a game. Next year with no Kobe, no Lou, and no BS... futures looking good. Those shot attempts gotta go somewhere.

Lou is staying, he's the new Swaggy P

Can't wait for watching Julius

Never thought I would say this but I hope Kobe is still sick or gets injured in practice. The guy needs some time off at the very least to get his head right.

Nothing in his head is going to change. He's been the same guy for 20 years. He just needs to go away.

uhmmmm......

Oh hell no. Scott can get away with allowing Kobe to shoot 20 3s a game and isolating Nick Young but screwing with player development is the last straw.

good move by scott.

destroy any confidence (and dignity) that randle and russel might have still had lingering around
