Me: you can’t leave out Magic Johnson!

They owe the Lakers 2 points.

They had 22
Kuz hits a 3
Dennis hits a 3
Dennis gets a layup goaltended for 2
Bron gets a dunk for 2

[kblo247]

Tucker should be benched. Every defensive breakdown they have included him in it versus Denver so far.

[TylersLakers]

I love that we're starting to make the LBJ/AD pick and roll a thing.

[NoseBleedLakers]

Jesus what a terrible 2nd quarter.

Lakers led 51-45 at the 7 minute mark and end up getting outscored 28-10 in that stretch. Gave up 40 points in the 2nd quarter alone

[NoseBleedLakers]

Lakers have been getting obliterated from behind the arc lately. Can't make any and can't defend it.

[NoseBleedLakers]

Getting outscored by 30 points from the three point line

[NoseBleedLakers]

Scoring the last two quarters, 70-52 Denver

[LAKESHOW]

Wth dude...playing in Denver sucks

[NoseBleedLakers]

Lakers got their asses handed to them tonight. Playing like trash has finally caught up to them.

When you're getting outscored by 36 points from behind the arc, you deserve a beat down lol.

Expect some of the same against Minnesota.

[NoseBleedLakers]

Crazy how the Lakers go 40-87 from the field versus 39-85 for Denver. Lakers outscored the Nuggets 62-30 in the paint, yet the Lakers still get blown out because they allowed Denver to go 19-47 from three compared to their 6-28, and Denver goes 25-34 from the free throw line compared to their 19-29.

Defense was not in the Lakers' plans tonight

[mcscotty]

Hope AD is ok. Didn't look like a tear just going off his reaction. But it was sudden pain after pushing off the weak foot. Very concerning. Regardless of the prognosis, he needs to take some extended time off to get this sorted. Not an injury to play around with.

[Beethoven]

Ad should be fine. MRI should come back negative.

However this team has issues.

[Freighttrain]

This team is looking extremely crappy for the last 8 games, even tho we won 7 of them. Shröder is probably one of the more disappointing players. Thought he would be better than what we're seeing. I wouldn't start him in the playoffs. Give that spot to Caruso, he's earned that. More so than Shröder. Also, we can't make a three to save our life. Lakers need a team talk or a trade to shake things up a bit. It's been looking ugly and this kind of loss was bound to happen.

Yeah. Schroder is not working out in the starting lineup. He would be a nice spark off the bench, but I think Vogel's hands have been tied by the head office as they try to work out a new deal. It's a problem. He's eligible for the 4 year extension after tomorrow, so they should either sign him and move him to the bench or trade him before the deadline. We'll know a lot about his future with the team by the end of the week.

[Slava]

With AD out, Kuz needs to start and Harrell, Schröder need to help shoulder the scoring load.

[LAKESHOW]

It seems, Schroeder and Harrell seem to work and run together well.
