4/20 and another brick clutch shot which is like the 500th time he's either missed a game tying shot or a game winning shot... That is probably why he announced his retirement he just doesn't have it.

[gts1]

these type of loses I can accept, its the blowout non competing ones that saddens me

Dug too big a hole for themselves in the first quarter...

Promising thing is they don't quit, they kept plugging away and got themselves back into it... Gave themselves a chance to win which wouldn't have happened 10 games ago

[FrozenIceCubes]

The Pacers don't actually have the smoothest offense in the league which is why the Lakers
Got back into the game... The Pacers have a lot of chuckers so I wasn't surprised that the Lakers made the game competitive now all I wanna know is
How would everyone feel if the Horrid Sixers win against the Lakers? I don't think even Mitch would hide his feelings.

Dlo takes a pull up 3 misses and gets benched. Kobe takes a pull up 3 and a fadeaway jumpshot misses both but stays in the game.

Byron Scott logic on full display. I was wondering why Russell only played 26 minutes despite having a decent game; now I know why

[Michael Lucky]

I sure hope that's not why he got benched. We have three other players that do that every game they play.

He wasn't decent at all, he had a poor game and Clarkson was much more impressive as the lead guard in the come back run we made at the end. When you add Nick Young shooting well and Metta's defense, Russell was the odd man out.

[crazyeights]

I have to agree, Nick and Clarkson were what kept us remotely in that game. Russell had played a ton of minutes the previous games, Scott rode the hot hands last night. And we made it interesting.

I totally agree. Right now, Clarkson is a better point guard than D'Angelo Russell. We were better last season than this current season, partly because the ball has been taken from Clarkson's hand and put into Russell's hands. The team plays a fast, more aggressive and exciting offense when the ball is in Clarkson's hands and he is running the show. Russell does not set-up his teammates. He does not make their game easier, or create easy buckets for them. He can not penetrate, he does not drive and kick. This is why he has very poor assist numbers.

Still waiting to see this "great vision" I keep hearing about.

TOTALLY disagree. he's creating easy shots and making great passes all the time. crazy how different perspectives can be, haha.
