So we're going to go with LBJ at center again aren't we?

IT and THT had a mind-boggling combined 2 for 24 night against PHO.
Russ had 7 turnovers.
Our guards really better pick it up.
We're on a 4 game losing streak.
Need to put an end to that.
Let's go Lakers!!!

Re: Game 33 : San Antonio Spurs (12-18) @ Los Angeles Lakers (16-13) - 10:00 PM
I am more than a little confused by Malik Monk's situation. (He is probably both confused and frustrated: https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-malik-monk-2-word-tweet-after-re-entering-health-and-safety-protocols/) He entered the "health and safety protocols" on December 14. It has now been ten days, so presumably he will be available for Sunday's game against Brooklyn, should that even take place. In the meantime, he was cleared to fly to Minneapolis with the team, then placed in protocols again. It appears he had not one but two false negative tests.
Or perhaps he contracted Covid-19 on the way to Minneapolis? The omicron variant, I have read, can go from untraceable to positive in a matter of hours. That would mean that, since he entered protocols a second time on December 16, his ten days would not be up until December 26. Meanwhile, it appears he is stuck in Minneapolis, a lovely city, but not necessarily where one would want to be for Christmas. The Lakers really need his shooting and playmaking on the court against any and all comers.

By the way, the major media have this game starting at 7:30 PST, not 7:00.

David Fizdale adds, in reference to the energy of Monk and Reaves, “That’s a vital piece of our roster and you could see when we don’t have it. It’s blatant. It’s clear that we’re missing it.”

I have a feeling something will unravel tonight. Either they play a great game or Lebron will grab something on his body just to get out of this game to possibly till after New Year

Forgot it's the last game ever calling the arena Staples... They better not lose this, but I'm not feeling confident.

The center-less lineups are getting killed on the boards.

This team is playing as bad as can be. Russ is a real liability both on offense and defense

This team is still sorry as ****. Nothing going to change this team until we get rid of 90% of the roster.

Same ****, different day. Still can't defend. Still can't rebound. Still can't take care of the ball.
Spurs with 7 offensive boards and are a +18 from behind the arc already.

I'd sit LeBron and let these other idiots try to win this game. They deserve to be **** on.

The lack of movement when LeBron has the ball is just pathetic. **** ridiculous how this team has yet to figure out that standing around ain't gonna get **** done.

We can’t defend the 3. Really lazy rotations on D.
They’ve had wide open shots so far tonight.
Really frustrating to watch this crap because there is no effort.

Pop would love to hang an L on us the last game in "Staples". Unfortunately, that's not a hard thing to do. Lethargic play, no recognition in the team defense sets and no one wants to work for a rebound. A bunch of Alphas with a lot of minutes on the odometer with marginal NBA talent mixed in.
Just another night in Lakerland unfortunately.
