Game 20: LA Lakers at Indiana Pacers, 11/24/2021 7:00

[euphorbus]

Monk finally makes another three. He has been cold this whole trip.

[Landsberger]

A Monk blessing has us within 3 suddenly.

[euphorbus]

Carmelo keeps making mistakes--mental or physical--at crucial points in the game. You would not expect that from a seasoned veteran.

[Ball so hard]

Vogel's days are numbered. They won't blame it on Rob and the dumb acquisitions they made over the summer.

Luke is free. How about a Fizdale promotion?

[NoseBleedLakers]

Chance to take the lead to end the third and they turn the ball over with an offensive foul. How stupid is this team.

I like that LeBron seems committed to setting solid picks, and I like that Melo is scoring in the ways we're used to seeing LeBron score... But beyond that, LeBron really isn't adding much, Westbrook plays like he's the only one on the court... DAJ is useless beyond a couple lobs a game, which is kind of a shame because he seems to still have tons of bounce left in him...
Our stars aren't really playing like stars this season...

They are even worst on defense. Did you see that last play of the Pacers ending in a corner three?. Watch Wesbrook and Melo pointing without doing anything no even try to rotate they are laughable on defense. Even Vogel who is a really good defensive coach can't do miracles.

Those three DJ, Melo and Westbrook are the antiwinning basketball. The thing is that we know this years ago,

Yeah... But you can say Melo sucks on D a million times a game and still be right... So what's the point... Yes, all those guys are non existent on Defense, but at least Melo's Offensive game is working and seems to happen within the flow of the offense...

DJ has no offense and Westbrook is playing his own game most of the time...

Melo is an horrible player he shouldn't have any contact on the court when matters only if he can be a spark of the bench that's it same as Monk those players in a good team are the last of the rotation. Guys who can make maybe something diferent and have a little bit of a spark. Because he is an horrible player without IQ, defense and he don't know how to play as a team and is old. DJ and Westbrook are this too but they are horrible at everything on both ends that's even worst I mean DJ is still playing this game because is big and can jump that's it the mind of that guy forget what is play basketball long time ago.

Phil Handy would be my replacement. Fizdale can go F off.

[NoseBleedLakers]

Back down by 9 in the blink of an eye. I just don't get this damn team lol.

[Ball so hard]

Either Lebron’s age is showing or he’s still injured. He looks noticeably slower.

[euphorbus]

Good example of Westbrook's tunnel vision there.

[Ball so hard]

Too bad the Pelicans own our draft pick in 22 otherwise I’d say let’s get the tank going. Hardly a bold statement… this team isn’t going anywhere.

[Landsberger]

I think LeBron is hitting that career minute wall.... He looks stiff and slow these days.

[RamonSessions7]

Yuck

[Ball so hard]

I think LeBron is hitting that career minute wall.... He looks stiff and slow these days.

Noticed the same thing. Possible he’s still not 100 percent. In any event this version of Lebron is not taking this team anywhere.

[NoseBleedLakers]

Good lord, these guys can't make a shot when it matters the most.

[euphorbus]

Monk and Ellington coming through in the clutch.

[NoseBleedLakers]

First lead of the game for the Lakers and it only lasted 11 seconds lol

[Ball so hard]

First lead of the game for the Lakers and it only lasted 11 seconds lol

Longer if you factor in refs review lol

[NoseBleedLakers]

My God, wtf Russ

[Ball so hard]

No respect for THT with that sub. I don’t agree with taking him out for a Melo.
