If I counted how wasted assists russell has given to bigs that just can't finish...smh

Benching Tarik might have been the ultimate tank move this season.

 

[mj 23]

Lakers taking another L tonight..

Which will set another franchise shameful record at 11 game losing streak

And I couldn't be anymore excited

 

[mr j 858]

Both teams tonight with young players where a lot of the players HATE their current coach

Lakers with Byron.

T'Wolves with Sam Mitchell.

Both old school type coaches who aren't hands on coaches and don't know how to develop players

Hibbert, Bass and Randle have at least 1 maybe 2 each a game.

 

[pmatic]

You tank well Minnesota.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Dlo has a knack for making defenders hit the ground. It's uncanny

 

[CP1708]

This is the 19 year old we all fear won't be good someday?

Good Lord.

Report: Remainder of season a 'trial' for Lakers coach Byron Scott

It's been a rough couple of seasons for Los Angeles Lakers coach Byron Scott. After the Lakers' worst year in franchise history, they have somehow taken a step back. All signs point to the Philadelphia 76ers leapfrogging the Lakers in the standings soon, at which point the recent boos for Scott will get even louder. Plenty of Lakers fans would be happy if he was fired, and the remainder of the season will reportedly determine whether or not that will happen.

From the Los Angeles Times' Mike Bresnahan:

Will Scott be back? People close to the organization think this season's final 2½ months are a trial of sorts. It would help Scott's chances if the young players showed growth and the games were more competitive. There has to be hope, not despair.

Back in December, it was reported that Scott would last the rest of the season. That still seems likely, even though his treatment of No. 2 pick D'Angelo Russell remains as puzzling as ever. He has the worst record of any coach in Lakers history, and this season Los Angeles' offense is almost as bad as its league-worst defense. No sane person believed the people in the organization who talked about competing for a playoff spot, but most didn't think they'd only win nine of their first 50 games, either.

With 32 games left, Scott is facing an uphill battle in terms of rebuilding his reputation. Stephen Jackson calling him "the worst communicator for young guys" last month certainly didn't help matters. Ironically, it appears the people who could save Scott are the ones he's been criticizing all year: Russell and Julius Randle. The Lakers are focused on the future, and Scott's main challenge is to show he's the right guy to help them develop.

D'Lo playing well tonight

Finally a swish on a 3 point bucket by him.

 

[essential1]

That Tarik Black isn't mean enough.

 

[pmatic]

I can't stand watching Lou Williams' offense. It's worse than Harden's.

 

[CP1708]

Anthony Brown not playin.

 

[vindeezy]

Well.....it looks like t.blacks energy is infectious on both ends.

Kobe rockin BHMs.

 

[licensed to ball]

Anthony Brown not playin.

Byrons trying his best to help the cause.
Kobe isn't being cooperative tho

 

[mamba2481]

Lakers looking like an actual basketball team tonight. Love the energy.


Love them Kobe bhm also.

No buzz killington but let's just remember who they're playing

Most definetely.. The twolves obviously aren't a good team.

But seeing them play a first half where they played hard and shots going in is nice to see.

And the rooks playing well makes it even better.

We'll see what's up in the 2nd half.

 

[vindeezy]

Of course. And of course remember back in oct...rubio couldnt be stopped and k.mart had 30 FTs..in fact...this lead is just like that gm.

 

[Lizakers]

Rather see them play like this and lose 118-117

 

[mamba2481]

My God KAT is so skilled. For a rookie center mighty impressive.

 

[mr j 858]

Lead slowly slipping away.

Just like opening night when T'Wolves came back down 17+ and won that game.

 

[tupac003]

Rather see them play like this and lose 118-117

You might get your wish.

 

[mr j 858]

Wiggins should gotten called for a offensive foul.

 

[CP1708]

DLo got 18 off the bench, playin in cruise control, at age 19.

Age 23-33 as a starter should be interesting.
