Actual Game Thread: Lakers @ Pels - 6:30 PST

[Spens1]

Pelicans can't even win after Davis goes for 39, that must suck

Kobe at stages looked intent on letting us lose but then we snatch the victory from the jaws of defeat

can't even tank right now

i think he already "made up" by giving us the #2 pick to D'Angelo Russell last year although we must ask was that really a blessing or curse? if we stayed at 4 we may have ended up with portzingus. Besides, Adam Silver doesn't owe us, it's David Stern dumb@$$ that owes us but he's sitting happily somewhere with his millions and millions smh. SCREW that idiot!

Well the dlo/simmon history will be good for the league

I want to think Ingram has more potential, but Ben gets bonus points for Laker love all the way.

I'm 1-2 on the season now, not bad for a pickup game.

*drops microphone, into case, which is then put away for anther day*

yeah if its meant to be its meant to be. just hard not to think about it since we're in the mud already. i dont mind losing the pick. if we had been winning some games it wouldnt have hurt so much. but we're in a good position now than before. we have a good group of young guys (and draft steals) that im content with plus capspace to spend.

getting simmons though. thats somethin else. i hope he forces his way to us lol.

BS must not have been tanking straight yesterday. Sorry.

My man Black got some burn, good to see. A win was nice. Maybe we've tanked enough for the season? It was said BS would let D Russ loose after the ASB, perhaps that was the plan all along: stinking up first half of season, building momentum for next season FA magnetism after ASB.

Minhee, good post but what's to say BS wouldn't have benched Porz, or sent him to the D-Fenders?

I wonder if we'll see Upshaw again this season.

Upshot had a good game last night... I guess he's been sick for the last month

[TylersLakers]

God damn Kobe, quit winning us games!

But I will definitely miss this. I'm in a weird state of wanting him to make every shot but us losing.

[joyeuxnoel]

the battle of the 1st pick:

ish smith vs a revived kobe bryant. my money is on ish smith sucking a lot more than a revived kobe bryant.

d-lo looking better and better, he looks a lot more comfortable out there. Clarkson was on fire this game in the beginning

i'm hoping that we don't win anymore. each win puts us further out of contention for the simmon's sweepstakes. i would rather win nothing and play the rookies and have a chance for simmon's, than play the rookies a bit, win a bit, and remove our chances of simmons.

Yes luckily Nets won so we have breathing room. We have to maintain 2nd worst
