GAME :41 LAKERS (14-26) VS MAGIC (16-22) 6:30PM SPECTRUM SPORTSNET

[LakersSoul]

Great day!!

Portland lost
Sac lost

Denver and NO are on a 5 and 3 game losing streak. We are now 2 games back from the 8th spot and 1 game behind in the win column. Although we played against Miami and Orlando, we are playing with intensity, great defense and sharing the ball with crisp passes. Oh BTW, we get Nance back this month too.

I'm impressed with your young core especially when Nance returns. Do you guys believe Russell is the answer at point guard or is he better off the ball? If so do you foresee being able to keep him and Clarkson? Finally, are Lou and Nick part of long term plans to help these guys develop as they both take a lot of shots? Good luck with the rest of the season.

Imagine if we won all those games we should have won we could be around 6th seed by now or close ???

This is a play off team when at full strength at all cost

Finally seeing the promise of our lottery picks. Really impressive. Also, as much as I want Clarkson to be in the spotlight as much as the three, his current role as a low key contributor that provides a couple of highlights and defense is more than enough.

I don't think Dlo is the answer great player, but just doesn't do it for me. Plays better off the ball then actually trying to run plays.

someone like John wall IMO would do wonders for this team

Do it Mitch!

Would Laker fans get behind a Dlo for Embiid swap?

Great game. Tonight we got a glimpse of what it looks like when Russ, Randle, Ingram, and Clarkson all play well. Small glimpse of the future. Good to see.

Kind of feels like Nick, and Lou have been our training wheels, and we're getting to a point where we can start taking the training wheels off. Feels good.

Despite skullz's love for John Wall D'Lo is our PG going forward.

My question is: Why would you want to give up on Embiid? I love what D'Lo brings to this team. 17pts, 8rbs, 7asts, 2stls tonight. While running the offense masterfully. That said, I think most people would agree Embiid is arguably the better player. Dudes a baller. Why would you want to trade him?

[snaquille oatmeal]

DEEP should make the rest of the year's GTs

Go DEEP!

Go balls DEEP

[Danny Darko]

Same with Philly

They have two players arguably more valuable than any player on the lakers.

This, although I like Ingram a lot.

On a side note, the sixers have sucked for the previous 3 seasons, but our win-loss record is not significantly different from a number of teams. For example, the Lakers: 65-181 (26% of matches won), Sixers: 47-199 (19%). We are not the only ones tanking, yet we receive 99% of the criticism.

This is true (though 6% is nothing to sneeze at), but arguably the thing that compounds that is Hinkie's bpa approach that lead to the redundancy of Noel, Embiid, & Okafor. Time will tell if the moves you make with any of those players results in awesome fits, but the current bloat of bigs is easy to criticize in the short term.

I could listen to this man speak all day, such a breath of fresh air after the tank sergeant.

Watch on YouTube

lol I think most on here would do it, but doubt that Philly would do it. But then again everyone on here has fallen in love with Dlo for some unknown reason.

And no lake show I don't have a love affair with John wall lol, he'd suite better then Dlo IMO and that's just mho.

[Vesper]

Quick fact.

If the 76ers get our pick this season, the Magic get our 1st round pick in 2019. If the 76ers dont, they get 2 2nd round picks (17 &18).
Therefore, the incentive to tank vs us.

They've also got a GM whose ass is on the line after spending a fortune in free agency and trading away Oladipo/Harris if they don't make the playoffs.

I never fully comprehended why they traded away Oladipo.

Cause Oladipo is whack as is Harris.

[Slava]

No Oladipo is quite good. Whack are the people who create duplicate accounts on RealGM after being banned twice.
