How (bleep) sad is it though that Lebron the 90 year old dude is still head and shoulder better than anyone on this team including AD?
It's shameful. |

So gutted man.... Finally just able to gather myself.
Worst 10secs I've seen for a while. Up 4 and you choke it?
There were 3 mistakes they can't afford to make at the end and they all ended up making them. It was by one player.
1. Fouled 3 point shot
2. Missed a crucial free throw.
3. Left a man wide open for a game winner. (Why cause they were scared to go to OT)?
That's 3 games AD cost us this week.
Knicks game
Not playing Houston game
Tonights game. |

The officiating gave the Mavs a chance. Lakers still should have won, but I have a hard time believing the Lakers have enough talent and will to overcome the consistent late game blown calls. It’s a contributing factor to why this team likely won’t go on legitimate winning streaks. |
That call was frustrating but in the end the fellas had, what, 11 more FT's I think than the Mavs?
Really asking for trouble as a team when the FT shooting is 63%.

Hard to not be frustrated with the AD experience at this point. |
Third game this year he's directly responsible for us losing in the final seconds, by my count. |

This team has been a let down from the start it's hard to feel disappointment to be honest. |

DLo was a plus 6, misses A LOT of shots, but had 11 assists.
Would still rather have him at $25 million then Kyrie’s flakey personality at $40 million.
The trade was great. The coach, however, was a very bad hire.
Without the bad coach, however, do we even make such a great trade? |

| This team has lost in the most strange ways this season at the end of games. This was a win and they literally did everything wrong in those 10 final seconds to give it away |

| Teams have adjusted to our new roster and Ham doesn’t have any counters…we look just as lost on offense lately as we did earlier this season |

Hit pause. YOU had nothing to do with the loss.
Be upset for a few minutes and then move on and enjoy your weekend. The players will enjoy theirs. |

Miggz:
I think you just summarized the difference between championship level teams and those who are not. Maybe 1 of those 3 mistakes made in closing moments of a close game, but not all 3.
This game pretty much showed me what I figured...ok, even if they make playoffs, or play in, just how far would they go? Likely not that far. They are unable to figure things out consistently in close 4th quarter games.
I'm ok seeing how a training camp goes with these guys and having them run it back. Whatever they do rest of this season is just a bonus.

Be proud of that? Nah. Not an achievement.
Sign some of these guys in the off season and find a better coach.
Start out better too. |
Most of us are entertaining this now.
How many Friday’s have our Lakers F’d up this season??! LOL
Feels like it’s been awhile ever since Russ got dealt. Tonight’s heartbreaking loss is a legit comparison to the first 50 games this season.
Still love our squad but this type of unstable production isn’t worth the headache come mid April.
Main thing is just staying healthy and hopefully bringing back most of this team if not all. Training camp will be fire if we can keep this core together.
Just looking forward to the off season already |

There is absolutely no way i'd want DLO over Kyrie personality and all. Watched him last playoffs and he was beyond horrendous. |

This is on Davis.
Fouling a 3 or shooter is idiotic when u are up.
Wide open shot.
That’s game… |

| Piling on AD but where is the presence of mind to not foul the 3pt shooter.. where was his (bleep) head at?? How does a player of his defensive caliber lose his brain on that kind of play? |

Losing to a non-Luka Dallas team is frankly embarrassing.
Maybe one day we will have top down excellence again. Nothing is going to change with Jeanie and friends. Always starts at the top. After her ousting her brother, she has had us fighting with the poverty play-in group. It will also be 4 years in a row next season if we are once again relying on Lebron/AD to carry us. |

Roger is such a 50/50.
Crazy Lakers fan or just an amazing troll LOL
Do we really need to run Westbrook’s Lakers blooper reel? |

They just don't have "it" this season bro. If, somehow, someway, they have a relatively healthy AD for a full season, same with LBJ, Mo, and the rest, and a training camp, I'm intrigued to see what will happen.
That's about it though. For this year? Yea, my expectation level is really, really low right now.

| Kidd took a timeout after we score 107-102 and take out Powell for Kleber, that was the move of the game…. We failed to counter by sending in Vando for wenyen. Yes, I know wenyen was playing well, but that should’ve been done. |
