Clippers made their open shots. Difference between a playoff team and a non playoff team really. Not to mention all the times the Lakers didn't make the extra rotation, or fight hard enough for rebounds. |
Just wait for it, someone will come in with their expert analysis of how scoring isn’t the problem. |

An all-star point guard, and a 20/10/4 power forward along with Ingram, LeBron and Ball with Kuzma as a 6th man would be a second round team forever....?

This has to be the deepest stage of LG delusion. That the Clippers are the ones worth laughing at here. |
You think the Clippers have a chance to beat the Warriors??! Are you a clippers fan? Sorry for getting your panties in a bunch |
Deflecting how bad we suck despite having LeBron James, by trying to say "Well even if the Clippers are better.. they aren't making it out of the first round so hah!" is the deepest levels of smh as it gets. |
We suck because of LeBron _________________

Curry was fine coming back from down 3-1 against OKC, yet when they blow a 3-1 lead against the Cavs, suddenly he was hurt.
Draymond was suspended one game. K Love was out for a game as well.
2015, Warriors losing to a team that is down KYRIE AND LOVE and it takes freakin Matthew Dellavedova getting hospitalized and his body shutting down on him for them to win.
The Draymond suspension is so overplayed lol, yet we rarely hear about all the injuries the Cavs faced back to back years in the finals. |
Yeah, but that one game was the non Game 7 closeout game at home.
Thats HUGE!
Also, lets not forget about Ray Allan saving him against the Spurs. LeBrons performance at the end of that game was unlike any megastar Ive ever seen. |
16 points in the fourth quarter to erase a 10 pt deficit in the 4th?
This place is beyond irrational sometimes lol. Ban bet if LeBron leaves the Lakers without winning a ring.

When we lost To the knicks a couple weeks back I already packed it in that we are not going to the playoffs. All I’ve been hoping for is that we get healthy and kick some ass building team chemistry going into next season with some positivity.
Since we just lost to the Clippers tonight it’s seems more offensive for you guys to here me say some negative crap about them. There not some super power team lol hate to break it to you. We just really suck and they will get bounced out of the first round I guarantee it lol
So my question to y’all do you guys really see the Clippers going past the first round? Like seriously?
IMHO if they still had Tobias Harris I’d say good chance. But with Lou by himself?? Hell nah lol |

Irony is I have at least had hope as each of the last few seasons ended....with this FO and an aging Lebron....I have very little right now. |

Hopefully Magic learns his lesson ..
If Kuzma and Ingram are the 2nd options to LeBron , the rest of the role players better be solid af. Not Michael Beasley, KCP, Lance, Rondo |

Can't imagine a scenario where a major free agent this summer comes to join this sideshow. |

Dlo is a free agent? I doubt he wouldn’t be too prideful to come back to LA tho |
Magic's pride would be an issue also....I cant imagine him offering Russell. |
Nope..
But throwing a huge contract at Russell and then praying he plays up to it would be Magic's biggest slice of humble pie.
The next would be giving Randle a contract he deserves.
Magic going after Russell and Randle in the off-season instead of 'punting' again would help. Put the money to good use and pay the people that would have been getting paid it anyway had they remained here.
But to do that they'd have to pay Russell a limit that Brooklyn isn't matching. I don't think Brooklyn would have a problem with that. Randle is easier obtained. But would their agent want to deal with the Lakers ever again? |
Ugh, stop living in the past. Do you sit around and think up kids names for girls who broke up with you 5 years ago? |

This is what really hurts. If we didnt have LeBron, we could have really made a run for Kyrie and KD with our two max slots. Championships. |

We suck because this FO didn't retain the pieces they already had which could help with having LeBron on the team. Instead they unloaded that and added LeBron, which wound up not moving the needle much because we couldn't take advantage of what had developed over the previous 4 seasons. That's the issue.
if D'lo and Randle are still here with LeBron, we're not in this position.
But the ideal of 'unload talented youngsters do you don't have to pay them so we can punt every off-season' is what hurts this team. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Clippers made their open shots. Difference between a playoff team and a non playoff team really. Not to mention all the times the Lakers didn't make the extra rotation, or fight hard enough for rebounds. |
Just wait for it, someone will come in with their expert analysis of how scoring isn’t the problem. |
Offense isn't the problem. If we had Lonzo, our defense would be suffocating them |

San Diego clippers??? What are we 5 years old? Common now. They just kicked the Lakers ass. So frustrating. But well done Los Angeles clippers. At least there’s a team that’s going to represent LA in the playoffs _________________ I speak Emoji |

ESPN anchor crying about SAS reporting that fans were talking (bleep) to LeBron
So what? Kobe was booed by Laker fans. If anything I think we’ve gone soft. |
