Really suck to play the Lakers without Lebron and probably AD. Was looking for a good game against great players. I'm having a lot of fun watching our team playing this season and winning isn't the more important so facing the Lakers without their best player(s) is not what I was looking for

Very predictable to come out flat.
Diallo kind of gets on my nerves. His shot sucks, he tries to sell the flop and hasn’t been successful thus far and several times I’ve seen him not get back on defense because he’s complaining to the refs.
Even in the good games he’s had recently, Gallo is missing too many good looks from three.
Muscula is bad.
Dudley is fat.

Coming out flat is one thing...losing by 30+ at home to the Lakers without LeBron, AD, or Danny Green?
That's inexcusable.

Raining 3's...
Bad offense and bad defense but not so much they could do with the Lakers being so hot from deep.

Sometimes I'll watch a game and just be like, why the eff do I even watch sports? This was one of those nights.

That stuff was grating when it came from first ballot future HOF'er Rusell Westbrook. Coming from a bench utility defender and wing energy guy like Diallo it's almost a sort of parody of an entitled NBA d-bag. Sorry, Hami, I love you but do better.

Defense is the only aspect of SGA game that I'm disappointed abput since he's in OKC. He has everything to become a good defender so I'm not too worried right now...

I agree with you. I think many people saw this let down game coming.
In regards to Gallo I think he is taking two many threes. Although last nights 4 for 9 is very respectable. I said that months ago. Gallo is not a Steve Kerr type that just stands outside as a spot up shooter. He is a player that is very good in mismatches in the post if they choose to milk that to get him in the flow. The advantage of going inside with Gallo is the mismatches lead to free throws and getting in the bonus. Also put him in position for some offensive rebounds instead of 30 feet from the rim. Now the question is are all the 3 point attempts his decision? Or is he put in that position via the team scheme.
With that said Gallo is hitting almost 40% (team best) from 3 which is equivalent to around 60% from 2.
