Please bench Lin, Ed, Boozer, and Hill. Just play Sacre and Kelly the whole game and we'll be good.

If Davis and Lin sit, we may actually lose this game.

No way Philly lets us win. They traded for our pick for a reason.

We need a re-appearance of "Chuckington" and big minutes for 29% shooting Ryan Kelly and lots of Sideshow Bob Sacre.

Really need a clutch loss here, let's make Kelly the focal point of the offense.

Kikanga's Keys to Losing

1.) Iso Sacre in the high post. Let the big man go to work! Aim for 20 touches.
2) Let Wesley Johnson run the point. At least make him heavily involved in play-making. His mixture of bird brain and suspect handles could be key.
3) Run Kelly at the 3.
4) Stay away from rebounds and loose balls.
5.) If ellington or a d-leaguer gets hot, pull 'em. We don't want that type of play here!

sixers will hit the switch again at the 4th.

play well for 2 quarters, hang around in the 3rd and then ISH the bed in the fourth with multiple turnovers

Sixere have all the reasons in the world to lose this game. They would love to lose and somehow start us another small winning streak. This will be the ultimate tank effort by both sides.

Bench Clarkson till the 2nd half and make sure we're down by 60 at halftime. Then play him the entire 2nd and do nothing but force feed him the ball to see if he can overcome the deficit by himself.

MOST IMPORTANT GAME OF THE SEASON
PLEASE LAKERS, LOSE IT.

I dunno, I mean If Philly can lose by only 1 to the mighty Cavs on the road, then they can probably beat LA at home. I know the Cavs probably didn't take that game seriously, but Cleveland at 70% effort are still 100% better than this Lakers unit. Gotta stay positive people!!

If Philly beats us tomorrow we would control our own fate as far as ending the season with a tied record. Philly would be one game up having played two more games and lost both.

Philly still has another game against NY so LA probably wouldn't have to lose out. But even with a loss tomorrow, seems unlikely LA could win more than one more game this year and have a shot at a tie.

If we tie Philly, then it's the coin toss that determines whether, sans a top 3 pick, we end up with either a 16% chance of losing the pick or a 4% chance.

if what lin's having is an infection, he should be out, and i'm pretty sure bs the great communicator can convince big ed more resting is good for him.

Byron is probably encouraging Lin and Boozer to talk to Ed... very very closely.

Lakers95 · Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2015 10:14 am Post subject:

Run the offense through Sacre, Kelly, and Wes. Put Lin and Boozer on their best scorers. Bark at the refs every possession down and pick up as many technical fouls as possible.

We MUST lose!

This is the matchup we've been waiting for all season, the reason for all those long sprinting sessions before games, the reason for all those random starting lineups - tonight it all pays off.

BEAT THE SIXERS (tanking strategy)!
