John Collins and Alex Len were a combined 21-28 for 50 points and 16 rebounds

Zubac 12-14 for 26 points and 12 rebounds. That is pathetic.

19 more rebounds for the Lakers
Layup/Dunk fest at the rim
Terrible defensive rotations leading to wide open shots
All bench lineup in 2nd quarter

Embarassing

Good thing we gave up a 1st to form the worst bench in the league. :lol:

Good thing we guaranteed Nader's contract. Another great game!

Diallo brilliant again!

It's awesome we played the all bench lineup again. Great stuff, Billy. We'll get 'em next time!

Did Billy and I watch different games?

Zubac looked like best center in the NBA

This all began at that Wizards game. This downward spiral into hell all started at that point.

The defense has fallen off a cliff and the offense has been rough all season, but its impossible to win games with the defense in the toilet.

I don't know what happened after that Portland game, but its stretched all the way to this point and looks to have no sign of letting up.

And 2Pat started to cook, so Billy benched him! :lol:

Our starters are being run into the ground for Ls...

Team is cooked. Let's hope we get lucky with the lottery balls.

With 2:22 to go in the 1st quarter, we were up 37-20. Over the remaining 43 minutes, we gave up 124 points per 100 possessions. You simply can't win like that. Whatever momentum we have with our starters gets flushed down the toilet as soon as the bench units gets subbed in. They are horrible offensively and have probably scored more often than forced a stop lately.

Interesting to me was that Adams was playing further back, but it didn't look like his teammates were using that to defend properly. He was away from the ball more and suddenly so were his teammates.

How many shots PG13 attempted in the 4th and OT? He's a ghost comes clutch time.
