Lowry is really, really good so I can't be too mad. Dude's a monster.
I don't know how ya'll deal with this guy every day
Lol I really thought the year before last years was bad...
This year is taking the cake because of one guy.
The previous years we were a nation divided, philosophical differences in how to rebuild our proud franchise. Half on one side, half on the other.
This year it's just one dude actin a fool that screws this joint up.

Yeah, he's a monster. But how is it that the Raptors can't beat the hapless Suns.
There are problems within this Laker team and it's beyond the injuries, it's beyond skill level, it's beyond the excuses of youth. A roster shakeup needs to happen.

It was the second night of a back to back after a tightly contested game with the Warriors the night before.
And these are the growing pains one should expect with a young, rebuilding team.

Quick question.
Are the Lakers supposed to be on a different level from the Suns to where the Raptors beating them but losing to the Suns is somehow a negative thing for the Lakers?

DLo outscored the unanimous mvp earlier in the season
Did that nullify the win too ?

They're a playoff team with a solid mix of vets and youth. I don't buy that silly excuse. They traveled from Oakland to Phoenix bro. Not like they went cross country. Plus the Suns are GARBAGE. Tor is the 2nd best team in the east.
PHX is just as "youthful" as the Lakers and they outplayed TOR with hustle because they wanted it more. Plain and simple.
This Lakers team (especially the starters) don't give 100% effort 100% of the time.

But that's the reality of the NBA. Sometimes you run against the schedule and the other team plays well that same night, even taking into account the talent difference. Suns are more experienced too with Chandler, Tucker, Bledsoe, Knight, Len, Barbosa in the rotation.

Yeah you right. But I don't think the Suns are that much more talented than the Lakers. The Lakers on paper have just as much talent as the Suns. But how is it that the Suns basically went in to Staples and whooped the Lakers? Because of effort, hustle, and wanting it more.
Barbosa balled us up the last time the Lakers played the Suns. You gonna tell me that a 60-year old way past his prime Barbosa gonna come in to Staples and all of a sudden have one of his best games of the year? Or was it because the Lakers defense allowed him to wreak havoc?
This Lakers team does not communicate on both sides of the ball. They don't play for each other. That's what is clear after watching them every single game. They don't fight for each other. Things have to change.

I still wonder why we passed on D.Mo
He would have been a nice pick up.

You still wondering? Especially after what you saw TRob and Black did tonight? Not to mention Nance will be back in probably less than a month and that there probably won't be any minutes for DMo. Or maybe you're still wondering because you really have no clue?

A fair assessment. This team is definitely one that finds their energy off their offense. If they score, the energy is turned up defensively too. But if the ball doesn't go in the hoop, it tends to get ugly.

What really irks me about this team is that after the embarrassing loss against DAL, all of the players on the Lakers talked about how upset they were, how Luke let 'em have it in the locker room, and how they needed to immediately start playing with a sense of urgency.
They then get that "sense of urgency" from TRob, Lou, and Tarik right when they enter the game in the second quarter, building a 12-point lead, hoping to give this team a jolt of energy. Young shoots the lights out and follows the sense of urgency. Ingram, the ROOK, even tried his best to make an impact.
But what happens? Your leaders (DLo, Randle, Mozgov, Deng) end up bringing their C-game and two of them (Randle and DLo) don't realize the sense of urgency until 6 minutes left in the game. Eff'n pathetic.
That's the state of your Los Angeles Fakers y'all. They fakin' the funk on these post game interviews talkin' bout "Yeah, we're learning from our mistakes and we know what to do next time around."
Better go take a trip to Newport Coast and see if Kobe can give you a bottle of Mamba Juice.
