LOL DAME

 

[kingslayer]

Dameeeeeeeeee

 

[Strenuus]

"You can't decie if you wanna set a pick, Meyers. I'll just shoot it." - Dame.

 

[BonesJones]

Randle swings his off arm on every finish. Refs need to call it.

 

[KingSpeed]

Laker fans must hate Dame

 

[BrianFromWA]

And Meyers is in the game. And Dame is like "EFF YOU AND YOUR FOULING. FOUL ME OUT HERE."

 

[TBpup]

Aminu's offensive game is just embarrassing at this point.

 

[BonesJones]

Turner has a 10 inch height advantage on IT and can't even post him up.

 

[KingSpeed]

rough second quarter; complete disaster if Dame doesn't hit those two threes.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Fuck get this we need this

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Meyers is actually helpful in some situations.

I seriously can't recall a single moment when Evan Turner has been useful. Neil Olshey should be unemployed based on that single contract alone.

 

[TBpup]

Extend this lead!

 

[BonesJones]

Turner is fucking awful right now.

Turner, Aminu, and Nurkic... What a killer frontcourt.

 

[Strenuus]

So I wonder if Stotts learned Meyers doesn't work tonight.

 

[KingSpeed]

Great post from Lakersground:

Geez these Lillard shots are just dumb. Yet he makes them. (bleep).

A couple times a year (against OKC he was solid).

Tonight, he's trash. Animus trash. All our role players are struggling outside of Davis and Napier (who hasn't done much).

 

[TBpup]

14 point lead and gave almost all of it back. I hope this gets better in the 2nd half.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Meyers is so fucking useless. It's like having 5 against 4 when he's playing.

And fuck Thomas. What a mouthy little douche.

Turner hit three threes vs OKC and he hit game icing free throws against GS, off the top of my head

 

[BrianFromWA]

So I wonder if Stotts learned Meyers doesn't work tonight.

How would he know? He hasn't given him the opportunity to make 6 of 12 swish3s. We'd be up by 17 if Meyers played instead of Collins (0-1 from swish3)

 

[The Professional Fan]

I’ll glady accept this

Swish3's is fucking funny

 

[BonesJones]

Our lead went away when our defense turned to shit. We win this game if we defend.

 

[tykendo]

Turner is fucking awful right now.

Turner, Aminu, and Nurkic... What a killer frontcourt.

They are struggling for sure tonight. Chief looks out of sorts the last few. Nurk needs to take advantage of his matchups better tonight.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Yeah, literally last game he had 17pts on 10 shots and played pretty good D.

 

[DDolla]

So worried about this game, we need a big 3rd quarter here

 

[KingSpeed]

Who was saying both guards never get off to good starts? Well at half, they're both shooting 50%+

 

[BonesJones]

When the 2nd most notable thing he's done this year is make a pair of FTs, thats how you know he's trash.

 

[BonesJones]

Nobody said that. He asked when the last time they did because they've gotten off to 3 for 10 starts the past few games.

 

[VenomXL]

The turnovers have been a big problem. The Lakers are pretty dynamic in the open court so the live ball ones have been particularly bad.

 

[BrianFromWA]

(OT) I'm stoked that Ichiro is going back to the Mariners. Dude's 4 years older than I am and can still play. And he jokes (?) about pitching in relief.
