This is the worst excuse for basketball I've seen.
 
Houston has something for which to play. We don't. You can tell the difference in defensive intensity.
 
I will be happy if we beat lakers and knock them out for good.

Why start this thread and post this? You've known since the middle of OCTOBER that we have 5 decent players...... and tonight we are missing one of them..... what did you expect?

A GM who knows the difference between chicken salad and chicken shit?
 
...gotta love Matthews quote on this very topic though!
"We need to play with some pride, man, we need to play with some pride. I'm trying not to cuss right now. We have to play with some damn heart, this is crazy, this is ridiculous. ... We need to check our hearts at the door. ... The fans are sick of it. We're sick of it. We've got to give them something to cheer about. Losing seven straight isn't it. ... It doesn't matter that we're mathematically out, this is the best job in the damn world. We've got to treat it as such. We've got to be men. ... It's stupid right now."

I don't mind the losses, but I'm hating the blowouts. And quite a few guys definitely have checked out already. Good on Wessy to call em out. Why isn't LA doing that? Obviously his leading by example thing isn't working out.
 
Props to Wesley for saying that. Wish it had been LaMarcus or Damian
 
Too bad Matthews completely sucked last night. The dude is so slow. Linn and Harden blowing right by him all night. Same with Dame (but hes a rook, so I give his defensive ability lee-way).

nobody could make shots besides LA; and Dame was way to passive. However it didn't help that when he did drive he was mobbed because the D collapsed since they didn't have to guard our sorry excuse for shooters...

Hopefully they turn this around for the fans. b/c that was just terrible to watch.

At least LA led by example. He played well last night. Wes on the other hand was playing hard, but he was not playing smart. Clearing everyone out to go one on one with Hardin, and then throwing up an air ball on a drive to the basket....that was painful to watch. Wes, you are not a one-on-one type player and going 1-11 on the 3pt shots, if that was Babbitt we would have 5 threads about how bad he sucks. I like Wes and I like his fire, but unless he plays well it is hard to call people out. His man had 33 pts.....

Bullshit. Chicago stopped the Heat's streak and the Lakers are barely in the playoffs.

You chose 1 example of 1 game and the Lakers have had major injuries to key players, try again.

Season is over, didn't you guys get the memo? Last game to be played with any enthusiasm will be vs LA.

Well that should be enough, because you said "never". And the Lakers have actually played worse with all their stars than when one or more is injured.

Also: see Detroit's title over the Shaq-Kobe-Payton Lakers.

I dont know if it's the injuries he's had or what.. but Weslery can barely dunk. He moves around slower than Andre Miller. I love the guy cause he always plays hard and he gets wet sometimes, but man, he does not belong out there athletically.
 
That game showed me Batum has more value at what he brings to the team than Aldridge does.
 
Aldridge had 8 points and 3 rebounds in the second half last night right? Yeah.. He sure wanted to win.
