I thought we learned our lesson with the whole let demar miss in crunch time at the end of games shtick

[tbdog]

We deserved that game. Refs just blew the game.

[cjw]

Sucks to lose a game they played this hard. Some bad shot selection down stretch.

[Uriel]

Sad. This was probably the most winnable of our games against the Lakers.

[DAF86]

He is. Lineup is Patty, White, Keldon, Derozan, Gay

He wasn't when I made that comment.

[Rummpd]

Lakers ref win out but nice effort

[808]

So good to have White back regardless

[Dejounte]

Winnable until the end where DeMar called his own name. Selfish play led to the loss.

DeMar didn't have a bad game. But he did make terrible decisions at the end.

[Chomag]

Welp....dammit but I'm still happy to see our guys fighting out there

[spurraider21]

offense collapsed down the stretch

[4down]

Give the man some support

[phxspurfan]

Keldon gonna get paid

[BillMc]

I really hate AD for some reason

[Barfunk]

And again the refs hand the Lakers the ing game

[FkLA]

Challenge it...

[Chomag]

Refs and Demar made sure we don't get this win

[SpurPadre]

We deserved that game. Refs just blew the game.

Enough with those excuses. We choked and that's all there is to it. It was good to see Keldon play well, at least.

[lefty20]

Damn, should've had this one. Learning to win close games like this against good teams is part of the learning process for the youngins.

[MannyIsGod]

Good game from the youth. You can't win a game with Rudy Gay and Eubanks playing center against the Lakers. Props on the youth for making it that close.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Yes, it was the refs...it had nothing to do with the fact Pop played a midget lineup down the stretch and the Lakers got EVERY rebound

[Kurgan]

Yeah unfortunately you can't really teach IQ, so i think that's gonna hold him back from taking that jump. Still has the tools to be a really solid NBA player though.

I don't really see him as anything more than a role player unfortunately. Just doesn't impact the game much outside of his occasional scoring ability.

[daslicer]

We deserved that game. Refs just blew the game.

Agreed. I'm tired of Lebron getting to run over guys like a running back like he did with White and not get called for it. It's a new dimension of his game the refs have allowed since last year.

[EasyMoney]

Demar called his own number and ended up air balling when someone was wide open. Ah well.

Jakob was complete garbage and got benched for a g leaguer. Didn't even play the 4th

[MannyIsGod]

Also Lyles must really be in the doghouse if he can't get off the bench in this game.

[FkLA]

I mean why not ing challenge that LeBron committed an offensive foul? What was there to lose?
