Please dont even think of giving a contract to both IT and KCP.

Please Magic....

That one hurt, felt like we let that one slip away. Even with Dame going off, I felt like we should've got the W. Oh well can't win them all. On to the next one.

I think in all this talk of next year, it's also worth pointing out players that can be reckless. I'd say Randle, Thomas, and KCP fit that bill. With Randle, he's young and he's so dynamic of a player that you can put up with it and hope he gets a handle on that since he's only 23. IT is what he is at this point and if his offense isn't going, he's not even that effective of a playmaker. And KCP is a bench player who should be a spark off the bench. So yeah, I'd definitely would try to minimize the amount of reckless players and only try to keep Randle out of that bunch.

Oh well -- I'm gonna cheer myself up by watching the Infinity War trailer for like the 500th time.

Let's just chalk it down to being unable to stop Lillard

It happens to a lot of teams, not just us

Good game guys, sorry the refs make a mockery out of what was an otherwise super entertaining match-up.

See a lot of guys blaming IT, and as it should be. He hurt the rhythm in those last 5 minutes when we still had the lead. His shot selection was questionable. Luke caught between a rock and a hard place with him because if he takes him out he knows the glares and pouting is beaming his way.

But Luke has to be like screw you, we have a system and you either play in or sit on the bench. Rebounding hurt us down the stretch and IT being on the floor took away our ability to switch everything.

It's okay though, on to the next game and we just have to take it out on Orlando.

Humans make free throws.

Damn gym at almost 11pm?

On that play where KCP was fouled off the ball, that was the last chance especially where you don't have to depend on the 3. If IT makes the free throw we only have to go for a 2 or we could've taken a chance and go for the win. But IT missing screwed that up

He needs be bought out or his minutes cut drastically.

I honestly feel like he’s stunting the growth of many of the kids like Lonzo and Kuzma. Their just sitting in the corner now watching IT ballhog.

This loss hurts...

The fact that we can have a loss that hurts vs a very good playoff team is encouraging thou

The lakers easily could have won this

Just finished the game on dvr. The phantom foul on the Lopez block killed me on the Lillard push off at the rim. Just terrible. Then the no call on KCP's drive was complete trash.

Mr. 4th quarter my ass...

It's a farce that IT claims that he is Mr. 4th quarter we all know how is the real Mr. 4th quarter.

It was a complete melt down from everyone on the team, let’s not keep blaming IT just cause of the last few seconds. You win as a team and you lose as a team

Was at the game, the ref's was pretty terrible but Lakers still had a chance to win. IT can shoot you in or out of a game, this time he shot them out and Luke should have taken him out earlier but I understand his reasons. You have to baby It because he's gonna complain. Watching Dame up close is worth fighting threw LA traffic. He just get's ish done and always calm and in control. Love his game.
