Ball isn't even out there. Hart didn't play, and Ingram was solid. Kuz is the only one struggling, and Zu to an extent. |
Ingram was solid in the first quarter**
JHart has been (bleep) since mid-December. Kuz has been absolute (bleep). Lonzo was doing well but he's basically out for the year so that's (bleep). Zu's defense is a big turd of (bleep).
Everyone just went through the motion this game. You don't just lose by 42 for no reason... |
Fact remains.. the core didn't play poorly..
Ingram was solid, and they went away from him. Ball a key player that's a part of the core didn't play and he's been really good as of late. |

They didn't go away from him, this literally happens countless times and I'm not even trying to hate on Ingram because he's been playing well recently.
There are countless times where Ingram starts off hot or does well and completely disappears the rest of the game. I really wish he would grow some balls and demand it or actually come toward the ball because if he actually gave a (bleep) and didn't play scared, he would be one hell of a player |

We are all human. If thousands of people or screaming it at you, it’s gonna make a difference. Hell, people get mad when 1 person yells at them at work. |
I doubt they heard or understood it. I heard the chants on tv but had no idea wtf they were saying. It's usually people in the audience who tweet out the chant and then people run with it. But in the heat of the moment, players don't listen to that. |

Man, Pacers fans were letting the Lakers hear it tonight in Indiana.
When Brandon Ingram was at the line, they chanted "LEBRON'S GONNA TRADE YOU!" When JaVale McGee was at the line, they chanted, "NOT WORTH TRADING!" Ingram admitted he heard the chants. |
you were saying? |

| I think there are a ton of instances and examples of players being affected by trades and trade rumors. As early back as Kyrie, he was very upset when he heard Cleveland was willing to trade him and led to him demanding a trade. IT, the list really goes on. And it's not like these kids have their footholds yet. I don't care what Kuz says, he's hurt. Just need to suck it up. Maybe we should look to rehire Byron back? |

All that matters is:
Making the playoffs
How Lonzo/BI/Kuz play in the playoffs. |

| This would affect anyone, no matter what industry youre in. Someone telling you they dont want you has to have an effect. |
