LeBron's back. Does it matter anymore?

If that's the real SL, the only defender they have on the floor is Reaves and he's only effective in many situations, not all...

So not going to say we'll win this.

Start THT instead of Westbrook and you might have a chance.

In this weird season, with Covid-19 and multitude injuries to mutliple teams, the only thing the matters is getting to the play-in game. After that, we'll see. Seedings are less relevant than wholeness when the time comes.

An unbelievable number of turnovers by the Lakers in the first half. No chemistry on this team.

Is Vogel calling Luke for line up advice? Starting to look like the "dartboard" approach we saw out of Walton.

You would have to believe there are g-league guys that would contribute more than some of our players tonight...

This lineup is just terrible. Why did we get DJA again?

LeBron is 0-8 from three, but at least he drove to the lane with 31 seconds left.

That was a long parade of wide open 3 pt attempts. This team doesn’t care.

Lol wow. An L against the worst team in the league? Why the hell not.

Defense has been a damn joke. That's six straight games now that these clowns have allowed their opponent to shoot over 50% from the field

Now nine games below .500. Nine straight L's on the road. This team still finding ways to lose. Lakers keep reaching a new low. Absolute **** garbage.

Apparently that's the most points any team has given up in an overtime period this season. And of course it would be by this god awful team.
