LMA with the o-board and score!

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Damn Lakers are a YMCA team, dont make them look good, guys

 

[EGame]

so this lead will vanish with like 3 minutes left in the third yes?

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Don't forget who and what you are.

Thank you, still a work in progress, lol

 

[EGame]

good call EGame

 

[DaLincolnJones]

you have to be kidding me......

 

[OneLifeToLive]

this is what I'm talking about with their concentration level. Off and On. Off and On.

 

[EGame]

we may as well field no one out there when quarters are ending since we obviously suck ass at scoring and defending.

 

[riverman]

It's pretty close actually.

Dame - 13/53 - 24.5% of his team's shots.
Clarkson - 14/52 - 26.9% of his team's shots.

the kid is pretty good!

 

[blue32]

This lead losing shit pisses me off. Dame needs to get way more aggressive

 

[DUB]

Interestingly, the two small forwards are the leading rebounders in the game.

Johnson - 13
Batum - 10

 

[KingSpeed]

this is what I'm talking about with their concentration level. Off and On. Off and On.

Isn't this how it is for all the great NBA teams? No one wins by 100. There's ebb and flow. Look at playoffs against Spurs. In a couple of those games, we made big runs (like Lakers are now) but Spurs won the games and the championship. No team is perfect.

 

[riverman]

clutch shot by CJ

 

[OneLifeToLive]

I am really liking what I'm seeing out of #3

 

[BBert]

CJ. Has arrived.

[blue32]

Clarkson...................dame?? come on

 

[EGame]

who exactly is clarkson. is he MJ?

 

[KingSpeed]

I told you guys earlier in this thread that Clarkson's been playing great lately. This isn't new.

 

[DUB]

the kid is pretty good!

He's averaging 17/6/6 in the last 10 games, so he's certainly in a purple patch.

 

[KingSpeed]

Clarkson...................dame?? come on

Clarkson is good. Look at his recent box scores. He is Lakers PGOTF.

 

[blue32]

I told you guys earlier in this thread that Clarkson's been playing great lately. This isn't new.

Uh no shit, but dont you think if we had an 'elite' defense, we'd stifle that rookie?

guess not...

 

[EGame]

yeah ok. not likely at all but ok

 

[KingSpeed]

Uh no shit, but dont you think if we had an 'elite' defense, we'd stifle that rookie?

guess not...

Even with an elite D, you can't shut great players down completely. Name one elite defense in the NBA and I'll show you the players who have lit them up.

 

[KingSpeed]

Kings/Pelicans in an exciting game.

 

[DUB]

7-12 58.3% from deep already.

I wonder how many we'll take/make?

I posted this at the start of the second quarter; we've only made one 3 since.

 

[KingSpeed]

Uh no shit, but dont you think if we had an 'elite' defense, we'd stifle that rookie?

guess not...

And you're spoiled by our great D. Did you know we hold three point shooters to the lowest percentage in the entire league?

When the Blazers reach that status Ill cut them a break. But this team is far from being at that status. And lil things like this is what I believe is the reason for it.

 

[Darkwebs]

CJ is awesome!

 

[KingSpeed]

CJ is going to be huge in playoffs. I feel sorry for our opponents.
