Wow. This team (bleep) deserves the worst. (bleep) all of them.
stop it, they played yesterday in toronto, this was a brutal back to back
Brutal back to back against a high school team in Memphis.
marc gasol, jaymichael green, tony allen and troy daniels are not high school players but whatever.
LEt's pretend dlo, swag, nance were all playing - two starters and one our second most important big
Memphis was missing 3 starters Conley, parsons, and Randolph. Also Vince carter who usually lights us up.
yeah, but they were playing at home and we're not on the second half of a back to back, in the middle of a road trip.
We played 4 games in 5 nights, y'all should chill
And??? Lou Williams had 30 first half points and we were only up 8, not playing defense, and counting on Lou and Deng to stay hot while our young guys contributed nothing, including Ingram.
Along with neither of them playing defense or boxing out after the first half, writing was on the wall.
So, sit down, i've something to tell you:
We're probably not going to the playoffs, hell, when the season started, like a month and a half ago or something people predicted we wouldnt win even 30 games.
This team is far from being a finished product, it's a development season, our young guys will be good but they're not that good now, we'll have ups and downs all season probably.
We'll win games we've no business winning (warriors, bulls away, atl away) and we're going to lose a bunch we shouldn't (mavs at home) but this game was the definition of a schedule loss, we could've won given that the grizzlies are banged up, but we're banged up too, and on the road, on the end of a very tough road trip.

^^^^ Jack in the Box breakfast we make the playoffs.
Julius's butt cheeks kissed tonight. I was really hoping for a overtime. Have to give the youngsters kudos, they fought. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

So, you should take a deep breath and relax
So if we take your word for it, if we win (it's because we had no business winning but did) and when we lose (the team is developing and isn't a finished product)
If it were that easy we can be making excuses every time just to prevent the team from getting criticized.
Randle should never have shot that 3. No chance of going in and he is not a good FT shooter.
Any of the other 4 guys would have been better.
Till his recent stretch of misses he was shooting in the mid to high 70s from the free throw line.
70s is not a good FT shooter. 80s would be good and even that not a slam dunk.
come on now, 80% from ft line is the michael jordan's, kobe bryant's territory. 90% belong to the curry's, klay's, dirk's, etc. 70% for a big is REALLY good

Critiquing is fine. Flying off the handle due to unrealistic expectations gets tiresome to read after a while.

This is LA and the Lakers, we need to draw a expectation or else there would be no point having a team.
This team is dealing with a lot of injuries and probably would have had 12-13 wins right now had they been healthy, but to act like the team is supposed to lose is a bad mentality.

I didn't see where anyone said they expected the Lakers to lose. Well I do actually I take that back I saw lots of people expecting the Lakers to lose and be worthless entirely up until the season started and we won more than what was expected. So now that we've won a few games, some folks are are acting like we're Golden State and we should never ever lose. I'm calling silly sauce on that.
We're doing well, the progress is clearly there, even in this game we were in it until the last seconds...I will never relate to all the overreaction and in my opinion foolishness that I see people post.

The post isn't "about you". I was talking to you because I disagreed with what you initially said lol
But yes I think most of us here ultimately just want to see the Lakers do well.

Nobody gave this team a chance to make the playoffs....now we are like 4 deep in starters injured....and we are suprised we are losing games here and there?
When the team is healthy again we are gonna start stringing together wins.....and everyone will be back on the train

I totally agree, but sometimes losing .. makes winning even much better when we start doing it... cause you get rid of the bad taste.
Also anyone who thought this season wasn't going to have some tough, tough, even bad losses had their head in the clouds. _________________ Austin Reaves

Yeah it's taken 20+ games, and a plethora of injuries to key guys for this team to start playing the way people expected them to play this past summer.
