Too many lapses and lost possessions from the beginning.
Lakers are the the epitome of the old saying “ bad teams find a way to lose”.
On to the next game. |
I mean, to be fair, we're down 4 starters. |
The Mavs were without three core players too. They are likely pissed they let the Lakers hang around with their own poor play. Yet they found a way to win.
I will concede that Davis is a huge loss as a starter. For 20 games now. But the other three are questionable as “starters” quality. Nice role players but the Lakers lineup is so screwed up you could include about 10 players as “starters”.
Lakers are 19-23. They are currently 13th in the standings. They are battling to be a play-in team. This goes well beyond blaming the refs, injuries, or making excuses for losses because “ they could have given up when they were down 20 pts”. How about don’t go down by 20 pts?
Sorry… Lakers surely qualify as a bad team. |

My thing is this.....
Ham is a moron. You are up by 3, Luka hits a 3 with tiny Schroder on him and ties the game...
Then....Lakers up by 3, Luka has the ball again, same crap defense, he hits the 3 again....
What a fool. YOU KNOW LUKA IS GOING TO HAVE THE BALL!!
Should have had 2 defenders on him and let someone else beat you.
At worst, let Wood roll to the basket for a 2, versus a 3.
And Lebron.....if you stupid ass 3 ain't falling, why keep shooting it?????
I was so mad! Like, dude, pass the ball. Rather have Schroder take that shot. |

They limited Luka to 7 FTAs in double overtime, not bad.

The team started off two and 10 correct? They are now 19 and 23. I think they are battling for more than just a play in spot now given how the other teams in front of them are losing |

Two overtimes you can bet that LeBron was exhausted by that point carrying this team like he is that look like a tired shot |

You do realize the Mavs had five players that played as many or more mins than James. With Doncic at 53mins. And as exhausted as he was , he still hit the game changing shots. Imagine that?
Lakers insist on relying on a team focused around a 38 yr old with over 60,000 mins played. Him being “exhausted “ is just an expected outcome of this plan. |

Bron chose to let luka. He was way more interested in Reggie bullock in the corner that luka driving |
And of course Luka rests (on the court) the very next game against the Blazers  15 pts |
