that may have been the laziest screening from two guys ever on Lakers' last possession.

The moment Luke praises his team about professionalism, having the right attitude, and work ethic, they come back the next game and put up a stinker.

Empty your damn bench Luke. Once again, you failed to get your guys prepared for the second half.

Moz kinda reminds me of Chris mihm. Will tease you with an athletic dunk or block, an occasional jumper or baby hook but is too up and down to be a starter

That Dlo Lillard scuffle turned the game around

DLo has no business trying to get a top 5 PG like Dillard mad. Especially when DLo ain't even the type of player who has proven he can play better when he's mad like Kobe and Jordan

This was a bad shooting night, and it doesn't help that we can't stay engaged on D, oh well on to the next one, good to at least see BI continue to show some flashes

Tonight looks like an example of the Lakers "mailing it in" in the second half. Effort was completely lackluster the last 24 minutes of this game.

Juju has no touch around the basket
Always herky jerky , hanging in the air, air ball, too strong off the glass.....he never just flips up a nice jump hook or finger roll.....maybe he feels undersized and might get blocked

I can't stand it when Julius goes up in the air for a shot and his legs do this sort of scissor motion. It's as if he has no balance and his poor mechanics when he's shooting I'm afraid won't improve much no matter how much he works on it.

How we get blown out at home though after leading at halftime against a sub 500 team?!?!?
So frustrating

You do know that sub 500 team has 2 games on us right
Like we ain't sub 500 too

But if he backed down and did nothing he's soft, right?
I was happy he didn't back down. Lillard is the vet so he stepped it up but I'm glad D'lo tried to go back at him.
He had a bad shooting night Julius had a terrible night all around. Ingram hit a couple of threes.
This one hurts but they'll start to pull these games out eventually.

We've lost to every other bad team in the league so far except Brooklyn and Philly, it's not surprising.Thanks for the update on the standings

Don't get me wrong. I was happy he didn't back down either. But here's the problem. Nobody else on the Lakers stepped up after that scuffle. And DLo went one-on-one and started jacking up 3 after 3 shortly thereafter, essentially taking himself and the rest of his team out of any rhythm they were trying to generate. They were flat ever since.
You don't have to back down, but you can be more physical. And as long as you stick to the script and cater to your team's strengths you can still make an impact even though a scuffle ensued. DLo (or any other Laker for that matter) didn't do this.
As D-Fish just said, "The Blazers got more physical in the third quarter...and once that scuffle happened, I think the Blazers took a little more pride in their team collectively and they stood up...and the Lakers backed down from that moment."
