I am confident the Lakers beat them in Los Angeles.

This game couldn't have been worse if Affleck, Simmons and the stunted looking Wahlberg "officiated" it.

Are they more stunted looking than baynes?

Our starting PG might be the worst offensive player in the NBA but we're still 5-6 and hanging tough with playoff teams.

That's really encouraging or really depressing, depending on how you want to look at it.

Lopez completely disappeared. Kuzma was outsized tonight. Ball looked like he belongs overseas. This should have been a W, considering the injuries to Boston.

Clarkson and Bogut in the 2nd killed us


We had multiple chances to take this game. Blaming it on the six minutes Bogut played lets the rest of the team off too easy.

We didn't lose to Baynes...we lost to LURCH!


It was like a random extra from The Vikings or Game of Thrones came out of nowhere and destroyed us.

Well, Luke cost us this game on the 1st quarter.

Otherwise, good fight back and good signs from Ingram and Randle. That's what we want to see.

Randle has been our best player and i dont understand why he is on the bench. Start the men god dam it.

Ingram offensive repertoire has been evolving very well.

Lonzo.. Lonzo had an overall OK game filling a bit stats everywhere.. I just learn another thing about him. I knew he couldn't shoot. Now i know he can't make his layups. SERIOUSLY, his lack of scoring ability is tragic and will hurt every team he plays in as long as he doesn't fix this.

It's crazy Lonzo could have a worse rookie year than Ingram. Hopefully he has a similar leap, but my God does he look outmatched.

I said it before but I'll say it again. If we had a competent pg who could shoot, we'd make the playoffs.

We went cold at the most inopportune time. But if we continue this type of effort, we can win some games during this road trip.

Fatigue is what he was thinking.


Then Randle should have been put back in after a short rest, not sat for the rest of the game. He was by far our best big tonight. If Randle didn't earn the right to finish today, when does he? Crazy.

Josh Hart was trash too. He can't make an open three to save his life. It's ridiculous.

I don't know what you guys are seeing, but I see a rookie trying to figure things out 11 games into his career. I liked what I saw tonight from Lonzo.

There’s bad shooting where the mechanics are sound but touch is a little off (rookie Ingram) then there’s bad shooting where the mechanics are bad and the touch is bad (Lonzo). I really wanna say he will get better, and I swear I’d love nothing more, but unless he changes his mechanics dramatically I don’t see how it improves to a degree necessary to be at least an average shooter.

freaking Lopez gave career night to baynes


Wrong. Baynes was going off in the first half when Lopez was on the pine.

I agree, but Luke loves experimenting with small ball (Kuzma at center).

They were put in a 20 point hole that they couldn't crawl out of because of Luke Walton's bad rotations. They tried to come back in the second half but the referees did not let them.

Hence why I said "and".

I like Clarkson, but his turnovers tonight came at crucial times and I don't understand how someone so quick and athletic can be so ineffective on defense. The TOs were spread out pretty evenly, but Clarkson was a big part of the second quarter implosion and then made a dumb play to seal the deal. He really is talented, if only he could increase his BBIQ.
