Might be a night to log off, the hardcore TP haters are going to be in full force tonight lol
(No he didn’t play well and shouldn’t have closed (Ham problem), before anyone asks, but players have off nights)

Pretty much |
Y’all hate SGA?
He’s that next dude for sure. An sure he struggles when he gets doubled or he’s got a 6’10 Vando super gassed up in front of him.
That would pretty much be the case for any superstar lol |
Nah... I just think he relies too much on the officials to bail him out, and when that doesn't happen, he kinda gets exposed. His three ball is pretty wonky, so if you play zone or box-1 and put a suffocating defender like Vando, playoffs won't really treat him well. We all saw what happened last season against the Wolves.

He doesn’t deserve a guaranteed 30 plus minutes a night and it’s been an issue all season. |

Next harden flopper? Ya |
Elite ball handling and mid range.
Defenders have no choice but to crowd.
Players like SGA and Luka will continue living at the charity stripe |

Also agreed, but it’s getting to a point where we’re speaking about him like he’s an absolute garbage man, when he’s obviously not 😂

| TP is fine: That said, we need to package TP and others along with the first round pick and swaps for a playable 3 and D guy that is as good as TP on the offensive end (ideally slightly better) and definitely better than TP on the defensive end or get a good starting center. Leave AR and D'Lo alone. |

Those are hard to find... They hardly become available mid season. |

Some nights he’s decent and some nights he is a garbage man.
But no matter what he’s penciled in for 30 minutes.
But yeah the anger should be towards ham lol |

LAL are 20-21 after defeating OKC for the second straight time, 112-105, behind 27-15-5-2-1 from Anthony Davis and myriad contributions across the roster.
LAL face Dallas on Wed. to try and get back to .500. Luka Doncic is a question mark, having missed 3 straight (ankle). |

DLO
Reaves
Vando
LeBron
AD
is the no brainer lineup when everyone is clicking. and bringing Rui in as 6th man should be the next move (for Lebron), followed by Gabe when healthy (for AR or DLO) then TP for vando, and then Wood to spell AD.
The rotation should be cut down to those 9, and then spot minutes for Cam if we need to extinguish a fire that vando is struggling with.

They were neck and neck the entirety of the game until the fourth quarter. With OKC being ahead for parts of the second and the third.
I just don't share the need to dismiss every win as an easy win particularly if you're trying to be a playoff team you better be able to beat hard teams and win hard games. OKC ain't no joke.

I like having DLO/AR/Gabe as rotating guards at all times when everyone is healthy. Max probably should be getting minutes. Probably can spot him 10-16 mins a game depending on matchups

I’d be giving him more credit than calling him just ‘decent’ on his best nights and absolutely trashing his worst lol
But we can certainly agree on the last sentence

Max is an excellent rebounder, so he should get Cam’s minutes even if he comes back. |

Yes!
Cam was a nice feel good story, but that has to end NOW if this team is serious about making a run. |

No one respects Vando from 3 so having him out there is going to clog the lane making it difficult for AD and Lebron to work. The Lakers problem right now is offense especially in the 1st. You guys are hating on Prince because he had an off night, but percentage wise he is shooting 40 percent from 3, whereas Vando is shooting 15%
If you want defense, then bench Prince, and have RUI start who is 37% from 3 |

Oops yeah I didn’t mean it like that. OKC is legit. I meant it more that it felt to me like the Lakers were in the drivers seat the whole game and even though they weren’t always particularly hot themselves, they never seemed in danger of losing. |
