my biggest problem is when PatBev was talking crap during the game, not one Laker came to DLo's defense....a little brawl would not hurt this team....may bring them together.
I have heard Beverly is legit....he will show you his hands if needed...but you have to stick together no matter what. |

I'm a DLO fan but holy (bleep) by this point DLO needs to buy a bigger billboard cause he has MORE then enough external motivation. He's been getting (bleep) on for over a year |

You are right, but trash talking by a role player is pathetic and I have wanted Beverly on this team, but these kind of stuff needs to annoy players. |

I have a theory. Last year there was speculation that Lou Williams was one of the few players who isolated Russell after the Iggy/Swaggy video. Now that Lou is in Houston he be talking trash about Dlo. And Beverly is hating on Dlo as a result. Just a thought _________________ Billions Billions Billions |

Its pretty obvious some of the players have no future on this team.
I believe there will need to be trades done in the future to reset the awful team chemistry which results in them just folding in game situations. |

D-Lo sure didn't help matters by making lazy/sloppy passes and playing like a chump. I had been HIGH on him from the start, but my confidence is starting to get a bit shaky with him.
These guys all need to grow a pair.... I know the tank mode is ON full blast... but a little fire and some toughness would be nice to see from time to time. Getting manhandled for 30+ point quarters game in and game out has got to stop. _________________ "Dread it, run from it... destiny arrives all the same." |

Beverley sees the future and the potential of D'Angelo, which is why he's getting his shots in while he still can, coz in a couple years from now D'Angelo will be murdering his 30 year old ass. _________________

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but I see a vet expecting a young guy to come into a game with something to prove. To play with passion and intensity.
Then the vet sees him crawl off with a whimper. Why should he respect him?
Russell is getting called out but lets be honest, Lakers overall have adopted this identity for the last couple years. Minimal defensive effort, no passion for battling every night and accepting 40 point quarters and embarrassing blowout losses all too often.
Tanking can be achieved by playing your heart out and losing by 10pts. Not showing up and being frequently down by 20 at halftime. Especially by a young team looking for leadership is not a good look for the franchise. |

Why is he only going at DLO? We lost by nearly 40 points. Everyone sucks. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

this is great! Assuming DLo is still here next year... Bev recognizes game... he's not bragging about when he locked up any of our other guys like Nwaba. He absolutely locked up DLo. Now it's up to DLo to study the tape, understand what Bev did and how to react to it. This is how guys get pushed to be better. DLo doesn't want Bev to punk him every game from now on, he'll want to be better. |

Pat Bev is more like a French Bulldog. Alot of bark at a petite size with not too much bite.

If 2 bad games is all it takes to 'shake' your confidence, after he was averaging 20/3/4 after all-star break then you never had any true confidence in him to begin with. Or rather, your confidence couldn't have been very strong.

That's not tanking, that's a team not being ready to win.
Tanking is intentionally doing stuff that will cause your team to fail so that you are down by 20 at halftime.
The last 2 disgusting games were 'Tank" moves, the REAL definition of tanking was that. Which is why when people keep screaming it, they didn't know what it entailed.
If you want to "tank" an entire season, it's essentially the last two games and the decisions behind them.. for an entire season.
However being a team that is not good enough to start winning consistently yet is the kind that comes out, plays hard and still loses but gives effort. That's NOT tanking.
The difference is, you just have to accept the team isn't good enough to win yet. Rather than hiding behind the 'comfort' word of tank, which insinuates the team is underachieving to lose this many games. Which isn't true at all. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

DLO is a nothing player compare to who (Curry, Westbrook, CP3, Lıllard, Kyrie, Wall,Lowry etc.) Beverley should lock up. |
