If we lose by less than 15 I will be shocked

In my 35+ years as a Laker Fan I have never been as disappointed and even digusted by a "team" like the trainwreck we have this season.
No coaching no leadership no effort...
I can't believe that I am writing this but I hope Foston wins by 40 ( and expect they win by 50+ ).
Sad times indeed...

Weren’t we a phantom non-call away from beating them there recently.

This should be the one we win. If AD plays.

Pretty much a Scheduled Loss if there is a such thing

Single digit loss is a win in this game. Bring the lube!!

This is going to be a good game. Refreshing to see what a legitimate, high-caliber Championship (not IST) contender looks like.

The Laker fan in me is thinking “ this will be a great opportunity to prove something in a rivalry game”.

Then the NBA realist shows up and reminds me one team is a true contender proudly defending their court against a rival as the other weakly boasts “ just wait until the trade deadline and playoffs, then we will show you”!

Can’t imagine anything other than another lackluster effort and 20pt loss. And lots of excuses afterward. There was a time Laker players took pride in the legacy. Not so much anymore.

As a fan, I will hope they prove me wrong.

I predict we'll continue our pattern of inconsistency and this will be a game in which the in season tournament champion version of the Lakers come out, and we win a close game.

I'm confident we win this, downside is we will lose the next few games to lesser teams because the team is just consistently inconsistent

Rinse and repeat

Same old. Questionable folks are questionable and the out folks are out.

For Thursday at Boston:

If the Lakers players respected Ham then yeah you can see the team trying to step there game and try to prove a point but I think the Lakers players have quit on Ham and it will even be more obvious when the team gets blown out against a hated rival

Inspector Gadget · Retired Number Joined: 18 Apr 2016 Posts: 46739

You see the Hawks there 20-27 but I can bet you anything they have high respect for Quin Synder and will always try there best to win games, not the same with Darvin Ham unfortunately

I ordered league pass because I thought this season would be different. Now, I don't know whether to watch this game or not due to the rage it would induce if they get blown out.

That's some pretty serious gaxta level LGSRS happening with Boston for this game LOL

It's not the IST trophy game so expect a loss.

AD looks hurt since that Draymond Green hit to the left hip, so I think his mobility is in question. Hope we win but feeling a 15-20 pt possible loss because of the AD injury factor. It would take others like Reaves, Russell, Hachimura to each make up the difference along with LeBron pulling a 40+ pt level performance.
