Chuck was speaking the truth. The Lakers deserve criticism and criticism only.
The Lakers started off this season two and 10
The Lakers hat, Westbrook killing this team, through most of the season
Despite all that, they put themselves back together again, and have had the best record since the trade deadline of any NBA team
They’re the number one defense of team in the league
If you’re gonna criticize, at least recognize the positive facts
I recognize all that, and yet they still played like !@#$ this game. That is all that matters right now. They better come at it much crisperin the playoffs or they are done.
Actually, no, the game has passed. The only thing that matters is they’re in the actual playoffs and get nearly a weeks worth of rest.

This is the first time I thought the pressure got to AR. He passed the ball to LeBron whereas in past games he'd rush the rim and get fouls. He seemed tentative. He has to be HBK in Memphis.
Ja is gonna rush the rim constantly. DS will play him tough but will only slow him down. AD will be in foul trouble if he doesn't get some help. Mo gotta get some burn. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

One critique I did have of yesterday’s game. Bamba got no minutes.
Was Darvin ham‘s plan to not play him even if Jokic would’ve played?

AD blunder will get all the blame but Lakers were flat yesterday. Reaves is a quick learner and I think he'll adjust to playoff pressure quickly.
LeBron let Prince get open way too much and maybe he was saving energy but when Prince was hot, you gotta give more effort instead of allowing him to get rolling like that.
Davis had a strong game but he's gotta do more offensively -- he needs to be a 30pt player moving forward.
And Dennis -- I dunno what to say or how we can keep this guy. He is so tough and didn't let the pressure get to him like it did DLo. He's an asset to any team in the league
Still upset about how we nearly fumbled another winnable game but i'll just look forward to Sunday.
Also, Ham needs to be better. Play Bamba please. And i never want to see AD in the game when we are up 3 with under 10 seconds to go. he doesn't know how to guard the 3 or to run past a player. My GOD

I don't know the true circumstances surrounding not resigning DS. He allegedly turned down an $80 million contract. Dennis said there was no contract. Regardless of if Dennis turned down a contract or if the Lakers really did offer one I think the Lakers have to offer him a contract that his play affoards. Teams are going to be coming after Dennis Schroder in the off-season.
AD's brain fart almost cost the game. LINK _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Couldnt agree more. I hope Lakers can find a way. He certainly seems happy here *shrug*
Most dumb comment Chuck made is that this isn't the bubble. Well duh. LeBron three years older and most of the roster turned over. The implication that the Lakers won because of the bubble and not the players they had is just ignorant.
