Fun game going into the 4th,,,,,,

[ElNono]

Lou Williams and Swaggy P going at it

[Splits]

Kirby 6-12, looking to revert to the mean in the 4th. Will come in after this timeout and chuck the Lakers to another loss.

MONSTER CHUCK

[midnightpulp]

Kirbs playing well tonight. Still awful defensively, but at least he hasn't chucked the Lakers out of the game.

[DPG21920]

Lou Will, despite some chucking, has been balling lately.

[midnightpulp]

I thought the Raptors were supposed to be good? Even without Derozan, they should steamroll the Lakers.

You know this - every once and a while a team just doesn't play well.

[midnightpulp]

You know this - every once and a while a team just doesn't play well.

I actually think the Lakers aren't as terrible as their record. I've said all year they have a 35 win squad. The reason they have that 3-13 record is because of Kobe's chucking. Now that he's limiting himself and playing team ball, the Lakers have looked much better.

[DPG21920]

I could use 2 more blocks from JV for fantasy purposes. :lol Laker announcers taking a shot at JV when he would be their best player.

[lefty]

Lou Williams is kinda dumb

[ElNono]

There's not a shot Lou Williams didn't like...

[resistanze]

Terrance Ross is such a scrub :lol

[100%duncan]

That was a goaltend tbh...

[midnightpulp]

Jesus, Laker announcers are just as concerned about his statlines as his shit eating fans.

Jonas is a great FT shooter for a big man - not really a great foul.

[ElNono]

Swaggy P the best closer since Chris Paul, tbh

Kirby Chokerant

[lefty]

:lmao James Johnson's is so retarded

[DPG21920]

Kobe didn't even look to pass at all. Not even a thought in his mind. Good news is that JV block tied me in blocks in fantasy and now we have OT to where he can get one more and win me the category :tu

[lefty]

JJ not calling a timeout, dribbles and shoots

[100%duncan]

:lol you woulda bricked those 2 fts anyway

[DPG21920]

Missed FT and then stuffed by JV - super clutch from Kobe. He wanted that one rebound for a triple double and needed OT to do it.

[100%duncan]

Worse than Ginobili with fts :lmao

[ElNono]

Missed FT and then stuffed by JV - super clutch from Kobe. He wanted that one rebound for a triple double and needed OT to do it.

Missed a jumper before that too

[ElNono]

how many mins did Kirbs play, BTW... wouldn't be surprised if he has tired achiles...

:lol still missing clutch FTs in overtime
:lol can't wait to see him miss the game winner
:lol can't wait till he explodes during a postgame interview
:lol Duncan closing his career going to Finals and winning rings, Kirby missing playoffs and having his legacy questioned
:lol who was better: Kobe or Pippen?
:lol clutch

[jeebus]

Lakers should've just signed Daye for the minimum instead of Kirbs. Would've gotten the same production.

[ElNono]

I also don't get the "tanking" narrative, since it's clear they're still trying to win games

[scanry]

Damn how the hell does Kobe have 12 assists? He's bumping his numbers up to 25-6-6.

[100%duncan]

How's his FG% now? Regressing to his mean :lol

[scanry]

how many mins did Kirbs play, BTW... wouldn't be surprised if he has tired achiles...

38 min. He's going to end up with 43.

[ElNono]

yeah, what's the story with the tanking? They're currently the 5th worst team in the league, giving them 8.8% odds to the #1 pick... what's worse, if they don't luck out with a top 3 pick, they're unlikely to pick in the top 5, which would automatically cause them to lose it.

[Killakobe81]

More losses coming soon

Big news, Lakers win 4 games before Christmas.

[unforeseen]

I hope not

Do you think next year's draft will be better than this year?

[ElNono]

More losses coming soon

that's a given but the problem is that they seemingly are still trying to win games... at some point you're playing with fire..

[Killakobe81]

Do you think next year's draft will be better than this year?

The past draft will prove to be overrated ...I am rooting for Wiggins, Parker Exum Embiid and Randle of course but I dont see one true franchise defining star in the lot.

[Killakobe81]

that's a given but the problem is that they seemingly are still trying to win games... at some point playing with fire..

I know if derozan plays we lose dat game ...gotta lose a gagame to Sixers to offset this win.

[Clipper Nation]

More losses coming soon
As long as the Suns get that Pick.

[SupremeGuy]

You've nary room. Without your tank you'd have absolutely nothing.

Killa, sadly I just don't think we're gonna be able to hold on to it. The East is too weak, too many victories there and we can't even confirm we're in tank mode. It even "looks" & feels like we ain't.

That's kinda what it looks like from here...

[SupremeGuy]

You've nary room. Without your tank you'd have absolutely nothing.You should actually do a quick study of that season instead of letting others do your homework for you. It wasn't as much tanking as it was players being hurt, tbh.

And I'm 25-years-old.

You tanked to get your onions. Without that tank there'd be nothing. We wouldn't even be here, because here wouldn't exist. Ellis would be selling Avon the past 15 years.

I am concerned about the East but the West is unforgiving. We have beat on so many teams during our title runs not a one of the lot will offer "quarter" they will exact their revenge and chants of Beat LA will no longer be needed because beating us will have become "routine". We will win a few on the east but I also expect us to lose a few at home we should not. I doubt we finish with a bottom 3 record but I do think we overdue for some luck. I know haters will say we have been lucky as shit but over the past 3 seasons no team has lost more games to injury ... I think we finish slightly worse than last year but that puts us in very real danger of of losing our pick. If injury form continues another injury will happen and as thin as we are ... will mean even more losses. Kobe is overextending himself ...he cant stay healthy at this pace.

It's gonna be close.

& you can't stop Kobe from doing this. There is a rage in the man. A barely hidden rage. He's pissed he got injured, he's pissed Media turned on him. He's pissed over the rape. He's pissed the end is closer than the beginning.

And I don't think the overextending by Kobe predisposes him to injury. Injury to me is just luck.

Too bad he can't channel any of that anger into playing defense.

Kobe's rage won't sabotage the tank. He's a liability on the other side of the ball.

Midst, I've always,,,well almost always thought decent of ya, don't make me regret the past and the future. Kobe is too old to play effective defense. You know this.

Yes, I know, but my point is that it undermines 25-5-5 because he's allowing it on the other end.

FO knows that, though. They're using Kobe's offense as the bread and circuses to keep season ticket holders happy.

He can't move on defense, Midst, you know this, not to a caliber that meets the demand. Age has arrived.

Of course the FO knows that. They're giving him his freedom to do what he always wanted to do, but, was reigned in by circumstances and considerations more crucial. Now there is no such circumstance or consideration. This is his payback. He's having the time of his life. It's his vengeance to come back the same as when he left with the Achilles. He's not responsible for the condition of the franchise. Everyone with an ounce of compunction knows that. He can control the [25-5-5].

I implore you, Midst, act like somebody now.

Yeah. He's hasn't had any lateral movement since '11.
