Well, with the Spurs currently up 20 at the half on Denver, this Laker L tonight should solidify the end of their abomination of a season.

It's essentially an elimination game and we're not getting the ball to AD every time down the court... Westbrook keeps attacking the basket wildly and throwing the ball away... Nobody's hustling back on D... I guess the fact LeBron decided to pass on this one set the tone...

And the LOLakers solidify their spot in the off-season. Never been so relieved for a Laker season to **** end.

Load management 10.2 I've kind of lost count to be honest...

Really can't wait for him to be off the team, via retirement or another team

Well.... I was at this one in person. One of the companies I work with has a box and I get asked by them every time the Lakers come to town to join them. They love to see the Lakers lose in this town.

Watching the bench and Bron all night was telling. It's a bunch of guys playing for their NBA lives along with a few who are obviously thinking of what indulgence the off season will bring.

Officially eliminated with 5 HOF players on the roster. I have always disliked Melo and have always thought Westbrook was vastly overrated. Never been a Howard fan at all either. Bron is a split decision. He's the most gifted player I've ever seen but a narcissist in a truly bad way on and off the court. Davis is a talented player but fails to understand his advantage on the court and isn't a leader in any way.

I've never had so little interest in the team going back to the mid 70's. I'm afraid this will continue for the next year or two as the owners will not pursue a complete rebuild but just slap some more lipstick on this pig and run it out next year I'm afraid.
