OH they got a stick alright. One in the anus . 71 points allowed in THE FIRST HALF! THEY have THE WORST defense know to mankind and Euro-trash ball. Lakers should take their act to Europe they’d fit right in with that system.
Bring back Mike Brown for Coach. At least the Lakers played Some Defense with him on the bench.
Somewhere Jerry Buss is rolling in his grave, poor man.

The Thunder are going to run them off the floor tonight. If they don’t, then I’ll buy the “improving” part.

dwight doesn’t handle “two” dribble penetrating guards on the floor well… kobe and nash are penetrating and feeding him circus passes that he bobbles all the time…

I know we can’t expect to have pau at 100% this year but have you been watching the games recently? Backup center is the biggest issue for the Lakers right now. When dwight howard goes to the bench the lack of size has made it easy for opponents to attack the basket. Dwight howard is also constantly battling foul trouble, so having a backup center takes some pressure off of him and allows him to be a little more aggressive.

I agree that this isn’t a make or break game, but if the lakers lose then all these idiots will be posting on here tomorrow about how kobe sucks or the lakers were never built to win, or some bs like that.

its still a measuring stick game because theyre gonna be without pau for the rest of the regular season and if they make the playoffs, its gonna be without him. hes not coming back in 2 weeks. even if he somehow does, hes gonna be rusty and brought back slowly. lakers need backup center minutes and pau would exclusively be used for those.

this is not a make or break game. as long as lakers take care of the ball, get back on transition D, and challenge jumpshots, game should be good. lakers can lose and still be in good shape to make the playoffs due to their favorable sched.

I don’t know about today’s game. I think Westbrook is going to torch the Lakers. Dwight will get into to foul trouble… IDK

This is a big game for the Lakers but I don’t think you can call it a measuring stick game when Pau gasol is not playing. It’s hard to judge your team when you have an all star sitting on the bench who will be back in two weeks.

The Lakers had an impressive win over the Thunder a few weeks ago, but it will be much different this time around, especially on the road. I agree with your points, and I think that it will be very important to get Dwight Howard going in this game. If Dwight is able to get some baskets early, the Lakers will be able to control the pace a little bit better.
