We're gonna lockdown JaMorant and win this one with from beginning to end.

Caruso will be back so there will be impact.

Utah plays Bucks tonite, seeing them lose against Milwaukee and us winning will make for a celebratory Friday nite

This one worries me a little bit.
We've played 3 straight overtime games and LBJ has played a ton of minutes and bailed us out every time.
He is due for a slow night.

Specially against an athletic team, we may just give one away, unless some people step up and carry some of the load.

Not with a dinosaur on the starting line up.

[NoseBleedLakers]

Yeah this game is already over. 20-2? Are you **** kidding me?

[Kobe System]

Valenciunas going ham against who else? But then again, he is NOT the problem. Right?

[bb22]

Yikes. Gasol getting owned. And AD very soft out there.
Go smaller and athletic.

[Beethoven]

Ok I like how we love to spot the other team 20 pts

Let's go!

Another PITP against who else? Gasol.

This is a fun unit on the floor. I like it.

Lakers one up'd that hot mess of a 4th quarter against Detroit, where they got outscored 25-14, by getting outscored 31-16 tonight in the first

[lazybatman]

Another PITP against who else? Gasol.

Valenciunas got 2 contested shots against Gasol and one nice post move. That's just good offense. Dwight would have handed him 4 FTs to add to those 11 pts by now. Just calm down.

"Contested" shot. Okay.

[NoseBleedLakers]

Back down by 17 because the Lakers still can't take care of the damn ball and still don't want to play any kind of defense.

So Gasol caused us to score 2 points in the first 7 minutes. Valenciunas just scored a couple over Lebron just now in the 2nd. Should we trade him as well for a bag of chips?

We had 7 TOVs in that quarter and shoting 11% from the 3. Think those might be better areas of focus.

Of course the Lakers would give up a three going into halftime.

Extremely lucky to "only" be down 13. Shooting 15% from behind the arc, turned the ball over 11 times and gave up 20 points on those 11 turnovers.

Can't believe these guys have been racking up the W's playing like this the last few games lol

Are you even watching the game?

And I am not saying Gasol is the ONLY problem. But he is a huge part of the problem on why we are having this slow start and why there is always a free pass to the paint whenever he is in there.

Nevermind dude.. I just don't get the incredible hate for minimum vets. Let's hope for a turn around now.
