We swept Dallas last season and with that win against them earlier this season first time Luka gets a W against us |
BI did an excellent job on Luka last season. A long quick defender is going to be nightmare for Luka. I hope they match the clippers in the playoffs |
Another point is that Luka was 19 years old last year and improving at an exponential rate. |

No question we are good..We just have a 2 glaring holes on our team...No PG who can create and a teamkilling Kyle Kuzma. Elite teams will go at them everytime. |
Just like we would go at Lou Will everytime or Harrell, every team has holes. |
Difference would be Lou can get you buckets and so can Trez? Trez and Lou are the most lethal bench duo in the league. How many people on this team except from LBJ and AD can give you buckets? We excepted Kuz to be the one and he's been absolute garbage as i expected him to be. |
Trez can get you buckets?  |
Yes?
Trez: 19PPG
Lou: 22PPG
Now give us our lethal duo that can take the load of LBJ and AD? Give me one guy. |
They cover up their superstar's deficiencies for sure |
This roadtrip coming up right now will show just how good we really are. We dont have anyone other than LBJ and AD to give us buckets..We literally cant function on offense if one of them has an off night. |
Pathetidc people expected kuz to be a third scorer. Guy literally cant even dribble |

also really hate that we had to play them coming off a 10 game win streak... win streaks are great but they suck cuz you naturally expect it to end at any time!! on some off night type sh*t!! sucks it had to be against the only team with a positive record!!

The road trip isn't as difficult as advertised. Nuggets will be a challenge but the Jazz and Trailblazers are just OK |
I don't even know about the Nuggs cos Joker is s-t-r-u-g-g-l-i-n-g |

| The refs helped to make the team lose the focus on the match but that isn't an excuse for the horrible attacks. The threes were just awful in the second part. Well, a lose against a good team, they are better than the Rockets, it shouldn't be a surprise if the finish in the 3rs seed. |

Hahaha.
Lou get his buckets.
Trez doesn’t. |
Trez most def gets his buckets i've watched plenty of clipper games to have seen it myself. Lou helps him out a lot but inside the paint Trez is smooth as hell. My point is PG and Kawhi can have off nights and still get the help they need from those 2. So who do we have that can help take the load of our stars? Give me one guy.

If you can shoot and defend like Klay, you don't need much else. Kuz can't defend and he can only shoot like Klay 2 or 3 games per season (which is just enough for Laker fans to resuscitate their "He could be our third star!!" hope.)

Good wake up call. Lakers were building bad habits in November, good time to get them sorted. We're in a pretty good position all we need to do is build through the regular season.
Unlike the Clippers who will need to find a new leg for Kawhi during the regular season |

Didn't say he could shoot like Klay. Said he didn't need to dribble to be a scorer.
And Kuz really shouldn't be over dribbling anyway, he hasn't the skillset for it. Shooter, cutter, limited dribbling |

It can’t be a must win game if there is no serious consequence for not winning. Nuggets are a tough out for sure. |

Luka dropped almost 35 pounds this season while adding maybe the same amount in muscle.
Luka is a beast. Still no reason we shouldn’t have been able to keep Jackson and Wright under control.
We came out today with no sense of urgency and we didn’t take them serious.
Teachable moment and it get tougher on this upcoming road trip. No better to wake up |

That ass kicking was overdue. Paid for not defending the 3 point line against a team that has enough talent to exploit that issue.
Tough 3 games coming up, could be 17-6 if they don’t recommit to defensive game. Missing AB at point of attack for sure.
Rondo and Kuzma. Reasons we need a defensive wing and a playable playmaker.
Other side, I don’t think anyone really wants Mavs in that 1st round matchup. They have blown out Houston and the Lakers...on the road. |

the serious consequence will be the constant laker bashing from all mainstream and social media outlets calling us fake pretenders for losing against formidable teams!! must win in my eyes!!!!
