Sad at what.. that were playing piss poor right as our schedule picks up?  |
we were on a 7 game winning streak. that's playing piss poor? LOL. anyone who's paid attention to the clips this season wouldn't be shocked at this win by them. they have a metric ton of talent on that team and play with 100% effort every game. there's a reason why the clips have a very good record against the elite teams of the league. |
Come on, mhan00, 30-12 with one of the easiest schedules in the league, including blowing almost every single "marquee" matchup so far (Denver, Chicago Miami, San Antonio), surely isn't cause for so much optimism. What do you know that we don't? |
we're back to back champs and have been to the finals three straight years. we're a proven quantity who have played a TON of basketball the last three years, and who have played multiple games with everything on the line in do or die situations and prevailed. after three years of that, i can see how it would start to get difficult for the lakers to get up up up for every game like the clippers do.
we're saving our stuff to make another run during the playoffs, not to win every meaningless game there is during the regular season. does it suck that we've dropped a few games that we shouldn't have? yes it does. but we make another finals run this year and none of this will even be a blip on the radar. |

NBA standings
HCA is still up for grabs. Boston, Miami and Lakers are very close. It may come down to who wins the regular season series.

Other than the Cavs game our defense sucks donkey (bleep).. yes all 6 games |
held our opponents to under 100 points in 6 out of our 7 wins.
detroit 44 percent shooting, 23 percent from 3, 83 points
phoenix 48 percent shooting, 45 percent from 3, 95 points
hornets 43 percent shooting, 42 percent from 3, 97 points
knicks (highest scoring team) 36 percent shooting, 32 from 3, 87 points
nets 42 percent shooting, 26 from 3, 88 points
cavs, nothing needs to be said
golden state, 50 percent shooting, 43 from 3, 110 points.
hmmmm, yeah, you don't know (bleep). defense was what won most of those games for us. |
way to upstage me. i wrote that too...just witthout the percentages.. and the coherent manner in which you presented it |

those arent clipper fans, just laker haters..there are no real clipper fans in LA |
QFT
This kind of projection was never around during the Showtime era. When the Clips were playing well during the Doc Rivers/Charles smith days, there was never this time of disdain towards the Lakers.
Since Kobe became a force with the Lakers, the haters came in droves. Probably because they see Kobe as the only one to ever challenge MJ for best player ever.
Sad, really. |

clippers aren't a garbage team. their record doesn't reflect it, but they're actually a tough team for just about anyone. their record against the top teams of the league is actually really good, and they compete very well even in their losses to the elite. they have a ton of talent and athleticism, and they play hard on top of it. anyone who has watched the clippers at all during the season (and i have, since they are a very fun basketball team) isn't shocked at the loss today. |

Nah,very subpar game for Griffin.
Griffin actually played poor against Lamar. I think he made like 3 shots all game against Lamar. Griffin only shot 35% for the game...almost 20% below his average.
Lakers were killed by Gordon, not Griffin. Griffin only made 7 shots total in the game and missed 13.

lamar, pau, and 'drew all did a great job on griffin in the first half. third quarter lamar gave up a couple of good looks to griffin, and the fourth both lamar and pau just gave up position too easily to him. pau had a terrible flop too where if he held his ground and got his hands up he might have gotten a block.
but yea, gordon killed us with some help from foye down the stretch. add to that the fact that our perimeter players couldn't hit an outside shot, and it isn't shocking that we lost. |

I said only in the fourth. Blake really turned it on when the Clippers were down about 5-6. Lamar misses a 3, Blake scored easily on the other end. Blake backs down Gasol time and again and scored pretty easily when Gasol played weak defense. Gasol compounded the problem when he allowed an offensive rebound by Ike. Down the stretch Gordon was hot from long range and Blake was a monster in the low post. It would have been nice to see the Lakers try to match or better them, but they just were outplayed down the stretch. |

The difference is that the Lakers have been a fairly healthy team and should have been able to play well from the start. Miami hadnt played together before and everyone knew that it would take a little while for them to learn how to play together. After a weak start they are playing awesome, even though Mike Miller and Udonis Haslem have barely played. The Celtics have been playing better then the Lakers even though they have had a ton of injuries. Kendrick Perkins and Delonte West have missed almost the entire season. Garnett, Shaq, Jermaine and Rondo have all missed a ton of time too. I would be shocked if the Lakers finished with a better record then either of them |

In the 4th quarter, before Phil took out LO for Bynum, Griffin was on his way to another horrid 4th quarter.
Griffin was 2 of 5 (40%) in the 4th quarter before Lamar was subbed out by Phil. 40% is pretty bad for a big.
You can't really fault Lamar for giving up two shots to Griffin in an entire 4th quarter
I think Lamar's biggest fault in the 4th quarter was shooting that 3. Other than that, I think him giving up those two shots to Blake was acceptable.
Lamar's a great defender but he isn't going to hold a talented player like Griffin scoreless in the 4th.
I think the Laker Bigs did very well this game with a caveat to Pau's subpar offense but this didn't lose the game. They did their job making Blake a low-percentage shooter (35%).
I think 4 makes on 18 shots (22%) from Fish, Blake, Brown and poor defense on Gordon is what did the Lakers in.

every team in the nba goes throught the motions on defense. its a 48 min game. your defense will fail you at some point. the lakers were playing good during that streak. this is basic LG overreaction statement. i remember a game in which we came back and won in OT against the bucks. we hactually had a Quotes from THIS side thread of all the chicken little statements in our own game thread. |
