Good game for that 2nd unit. After that showboat dunk, we brought some life, and cut that deficit a ton. Bench still has some fight. Good for them.

Just go look at the +- tonight. Pretty much tells the story of who came to play. When your 19-42....you can take nights off, apparently.

Ain't no better feeling being a Laker fan than falling asleep before tip-off in what ends up being another blowout loss anyways lmfao.

Big shout out to the Celtics, Sixers, Magic, Suns, and Mavs for all winning tonight and allowing these losers to grab sole possession of last place in the West and second-worst overall. That Laker tank still well on its way to making its rounds to the lottery. #TankCity

Ingram 0-2 for the entire game???? Really...... Kid should be putting up at least 15 shots a game.

Yeah I don't understand it either. He wasn't drafted to ball watch.

He was out of the flow when he was in there. He was also in constant foul trouble. That said he passed out of shooting situations several times in the first quarter that I saw as well.

Ingram's offensive troubles are as puzzling as if we got lonzo ball here next year and he did the same thing.

Y'all willing to give your fav Dlo a year and Randle a year as well. So stop bagging on Ingram. It's only been just over a half a season for him. Heck some of you have such a hard on for DLO and still giving him up slack.

Give Ingram some time. FFS

I just think of what we're running and I don't think he's comfortable with it but he's playing the good soldier role because that's what kind of guy he is. I honestly think you have to use him as a Kobe type player. Ball on the wing, dribble the crap out of the ball, pick and roll with him as the ball handler, etc. And, we just can't play like that.

To be fair if Lonzo struggled offensively I wouldn't be that surprised. His shot is U.G.L.Y

I honestly hope we get #1 and get Fultz, he seems like the franchise P.G out of the top 2.

DLO gets the most hate out of any player man, what are you talking about. And the thing is Russell doesn't deserve a lot of the hate he gets, Ingram kind of does tbh. Even though not a lot of people hate on Ingram anyways. But Ingram has always been a project, so we shouldn't hate on him, if he just had a reliable shot, he would be a really good player this year. But unfortunately he doesn't. There is a stats that shows Ingram is one of the best in the NBA in driving after closeouts but he doesn't use it often because defenders lay off him a lot for his terrible shooting. The reason he had such an amazing game against the Spurs is because they like to closeout on everyone, so Ingram attacked all those closeouts, and had an extremely efficient night. Ingram should try to gain some weight in the summer (Not too much to prevent injury), and work on his shooting 24/7. He could be a good player by next season!!

I think that all 3 players should be given 3 years before the "book is written". But that doesn't mean that Ingram hasn't been absolutely horrible this year. If you go look at the PER this season, Ingram is 337 of 346 players in the NBA.

PER is not the be-all-end-all...but it's a decent statistic showing your overall value. Don't believe me?? Go look up the top 30..and your gonna essentially see the all-star roster. Couple exceptions....but you'll get the point.

So 9th worst in the entire NBA?? Hell there's at least 50 drafted behind him just this year. Have even half of those gotten a sliver of the chance this guy has got? It's worrisome.

Frankly it's all of them! We were a 17 win team last year. Lots of rookies......Kobe's farewell.....last year was the "lowest of the low" right? So how come with Randle, Russell, Clarkson, Nance, all a year older....and this super-stud #2 pick rookie we're only like 4-5 wins better? It's been a disappointing year for the whole team.

Luke needs to figure out the best way to use him then because Ingram is far better offensively then what he's showing. His offensive production at duke is very real.
