Clingan should be credited with a second block.

Sharpe playing like he's still on a beach in the Caribbean.

No Luka tonight, that could actually work in LAL’s favor

Deni is so aggressive on his drives that I think some times those drives work against him

lol, Simons with his patented ole defense on that drive by LeBron

Scoot laying bricks tonight

POR with 6TO, Sharpe accounting for 3 of them

Is Rob Williams playing tonight? And then he scores and has a block against LeBron.

Can Grant even play basketball anymore? The length of that contract looks worse and worse by the game...

Murray’s outside shooting is just awful

DC it’s just way too timid around the basket, he needs a solid summer of dunk everything, aggressively attack the basket and try to dunk everything

Sure seems like POR mailed it in tonight, especially Grant and Simons

lol, that wedgie shot by Grant sums up his entire year so far, a lot of action with little results, but hey, at least he’s making big money

The Banton show!!!

Good move by Reaves there for the and 1, out bodied Avdija there

How do you not give it back to LeBron on the give & go there?

Nice drive by Scoot there for a score

Grant always makes the Lakers regret not trading for him...

Now we can only hope to be able to give him away for expirings.

Grant is absolutely a negative asset at this point. We would have to pay to get rid of him. And with his contract it’s frightening what we would have to give up to get rid of him.

Easily one of the worst 5-10 deals in the NBA.

LeBron’s just like he can get a bucket whenever he wants

Deni having himself 3rd quarter, 19 for the game, only the other player and double figures is Camara with 10

Grant is 0-9, maybe they should shut him down for the year right now?

Simons 1-5, so if he is not scoring, why is he even out on the floor?

Avdija with 26, one man show

Sharpe was such a uninspiring performance off the bench so far, 3-9, 2-5 3pt

Grant is just a body half the time.

All that money bought us a rotation reserve

If only the NBA would bring back the amnesty clause for there would be lots of guys
whom teams would love to release to gain salary cap flexibility

This loss has been brought to you by Anfernee Simons
Somewhere trying not to offend Texas Chuck.
