A laundry list of injuries for tonights game. Hope they don't screw this game up. It's
a must in in my opinion considering the upcoming schedule.

I recall Nemhardt hitting a last second shot against the Lakers. They are a weak team
but their style of play is the Lakers' kryptonite. Young and fast triggers Lakers'
defensive gaps. I think this game will be closer than we imagine that it ought to
be.

I’m watching this game. How old is Luka? He’s limping around, in pain all the
time. He’s aging like milk. It’s about next season. Luka has 2 peak
seasons left after this one. Austin has to go to the bench or he has to go. He’s
not a max or #2 player and he has no athleticism whatsoever! James has to go. Take the
rest of the money and fill out the rest of the roster with 3 and D youthful players and
athletic bigs. Play defense and give the ball to Luka. He only has a couple of prime
years left. No defense, if his jumper isn’t going in then it’s a wrap
for the night. It’s time for him to age out as well. I see nothing but doom and
gloom for the next decade, minimum!
Nice to see the Lakers win a game. Reaves looked bad the first half. Not sure what is
bothering him, but he come alive in the second half after Luka went to the bench.
Kennard, Smart, Hayes and Rui played pretty good. LaRavia has had several bad games
and tonight was no different. Some air balls. Maybe he does not like coming off the
bench. He used to play pretty good as a starter.

You nearly got this game predicted too Dave. I still think someone's gonna nail it
before the end of the season...

You can’t be a superstar if you don’t play defense. That’s why
nobody is watching the NBA. Everybody is hurt all the time. Every time I tune in to a
big game, a star is not playing. The inathleticism is killing the lakers because the
on ball defense is negatively impacting simply bringing the ball up. Luka and
Austin both are constantly bothered by the ball pressure, throughout the whole
play. Fouls on every play, the inathletic players are mainly from Europe and
absolutely no defense by most teams. The NBA is on its way out if they do get it right.
Now that I see, Luka isn’t a superstar and he’s going to get ran out of
LA. His game isn’t championship caliber. He’s a one sided player. You
can see it plain as day and he’s breaking down already and his birthday was the
other day, Only 27 years old but limps around constantly like he’s 35.
He’s not the future and I’m already tired of all the antics and no
defense or leadership. I have no hope for elite play from my lakers as long as this
iteration of the team exists!

I see it as a massive three point shooting contest. Drive, kick, three. Drive, kick,
three. It’s boring to watch and I find myself watching Tiktok more than I
actually watch the game. I’ve been watching this team since 1984 and my
interest has dropped off substantially. It’s sad. I miss the days where the
bigs dominated the game with lobs and flashy dunks. Bigs have become indisputably
irrelevant. Injuries are a big problem. It appears every game, some player is
complaining about soreness. It also bothers me that they complain or sit during
back-to-backs. Come on!! You’re professional athletes and get paid a lot of
money to play this game and play it with professionalism. If you are not conditioned
for back-to-backs, you shouldn’t be a professional athlete and should
maybe consider a different career. Think about how much money these folks get.
It’s insane! Maybe this current generation is just lazy and doesn’t
care about anything except collecting that paycheck. Maybe I’m
wrong.

No you are not wrong Angeluus. I have been complaining about the lack of energy by some
of the Laker players. As much money as these guys make it amazes me that it seems they
do not even care to lose such a lucrative job. Some of these players come from poor
families and they get all this money thrown at them and they blow it. Lazy is the
correct word Angeluus.
