I'm gonna watch Sunday's game from the toilet so I will probably flush the toilet when the game is over.

cant imagine how frustrating it is to watch. atleast russell hit some 3s this time. from the highlight our guys are shooting pretty well in transition. but the defense looks worse from yesterday

How many bad signings has the FO made over the years... We can essentially add Bass to the list.. They don't use any evaluation or scouting report or roster fit when they sign players..

And this is why it's hard to trade them espeically when they show negative value.

we'll keep our pick most likely (its top 3 protected right), Kobe should be banned from taking 3's, outside of that he wasn't that bad. Hibbert for a 7'2 big man, the height is wasted on him, mind you he did get 5 blocks so thats great. Loving what Clarkson is doing also, he has been the best player, also glad to see Russell doing ok, surprisingly low assists but what can you do.

Its obvious you are going to lose when you get out-rebounded by 19 boards. They doubled our offensive boards (that's just sheer laziness, i'm sorry thats terrible, i don't care how good their rebounders are, that is bad) and got more defensive boards also. I mean they got more shots off also. Though Sacramento where hot this game, i mean even Rondo was feeling it, don't know how much that is us playing them into form but it isn't that bad of a loss.

3pt shooting needs to improve big time though, we've been bad there, probably one of the worst in the league

No he wasn't and plus anyone who isn't hibbert or clarkson contributed to the loss but like you said it is what it is.

Man this team is in complete disarray. I know it's early but they looked out of sorts in every facet of the game. This is not a playoff team but there's enough talent in it to to at least not get crushed by the Kings.

I could see a contender potentially offering the Lakers a pick or two to get Clarkson at the deadline.

The Lakers had a ton of trouble protecting the paint when Hibbert wasn't in. When he was in, LAL were a -4 in a game they lost by 18.

Astonishing. Can't fathom how this would be the case with anchors like Ryan Kelly and Brandon Bass

To his credit, Kelly had 3 weakside blocks and in general rotated decently well. Bass on the other hand is making me wish for Boozer.

despite all the crap he's been given he's actually one of the few players that is constantly putting effort out there.

Only 23 minutes for Russ?

well at least he got a few minutes in the 4th, unlike the other starters.

Question, where can I find the PER for players?

edit: I found it.

Kelly plays hard, i have no qualms with his game last night. he makes a couple of those shots and all the negative nancys wouldn't be complaining about him today

Russell needs to get enough touches and shot attempts to showcase what a deadly scorer he can be. Then, and first then, will his incredible vision and play making abilities pay dividends. People are backing off of him right now, and he's too smart to start chucking. Plus, more minutes means sped up learning curve. He will bloom at some point this season and all doubters will be forever quiet, but not unless he gets to try holding the ball.

But then again, this will only happen if Scott gives way for another coach. There is the Princeton offense, the triangle offense, zone, motion and many other ones; and then there is the BS offense. BS offense pre game pep talk: "Give the ball to our best one-on-five player asap, let him dribble one-on-five and chuck a real crap shot attempt 10 seconds into the shot clock so the other team can counter before our defense gets set. This way, we will have a really poor shooting % and they will have a high one. They win and we lose. Sound good? Huddle up, everyone on three: 1-2-3-let the dumbest guy in the room be the coach!"

Kobe should give 7-8 of his attempts to Russell, focus on beating MJ's FG% in at least one of his 20 seasons. He could score 22-26 on 11-12 attempts if he made it his emphasis and gave the ball to Russell instead and really played a true SF role, which is what he should be doing.

Tarik Black needs more minutes. Suckre can move to a country far away from LA. I wish him luck. On another team.

New rule: Every half court offensive possession must feature five passes and ball must be moved from side to side before a shot by ANYONE is allowed. Two-a-day next day if the BS style possession even happens once in the next game. With 8-6 seconds left on the clock, sure, give the ball to an individual scorer beast like Randle, Clarkson, Kobe or, yes you guessed it, Russell. Let Randle drive and get to the line late in the clock. Demoralizing to play defense for 20 seconds, and see him at the line knocking them down. Better than fast break freebies anyway.

There is also the BS defense. It goes like this: "PLAY DEFENSE!"

No rotations. Wtf.

Move over Rover, and let Mad Dog take over. Or Luke Walton. Or maybe Nate McMillan. If not during this season, sign coach K next year, but I'll cry until then over all this BS nonsense.
