I always hope the Lakers win even in situations like now…dreaming unrealistically that someway it would be a turn-a-round…but I recognize a win against a struggling Grizz won’t help the Lakers as much as a loss would help.
It’s not silly, it’s just understanding that the Lakers are screwed until a realization that a major change has to be made and that it likely would be better if the necessary change is identified as changing the coach before making a trade.

it is silly to want an L. People quickly point out how the W in the IST finals didn't matter in the W column. This does. We need as many as we can get. Games today mean the same as in march. We have been haunted late in the year by games we lost early.

It’s ok to disagree, I understand what you are saying and it makes sense. I believe…my belief doesn’t rely on whether you admit it or not I still believe it…that you understand what we are saying too. A win could help, thats hope that somehow the losing trend will end and the 1 game could make a difference in the standings later in the season. The opposing stance is that the 1 win won’t make a difference and that the only thing that will is the realization that a change has to be made…the sooner the better…and that a loss would be therefore more be beneficial to expose the necessity to make a change. Whether we agree or disagree with either, it could make sense if we wanted it to.
I believe we characterize disagreements as silliness when we are so into our position that the only way we can accept that someone can disagree is that it has to be silly because we think our opinion is the only right opinion and someone has to be silly to disagree with us. Whatever it is it’s cool with me, do you.

I get it. In the long run an L may actually be better. Unfortunately I think we would have to pile up a lot more L's to push the FO into a significant change. Thats a problem. Because making the road harder, in a much better west is not ideal. But I agree we disagree.

| Getting 1 of DLO or Rui back for this game will help but it still doesn’t change the fact that the team lacks any cohesion or culture to become a formidable team, we aren’t a young team but we have a lot of egos and selfish dudes that is preventing this team from doing anything |

It looks like to me that we’re gonna miss the play-in if Draymond comes back and miss it by more than 1 game…unless a change is made…so a win tonite against Memphis would turn out to be irrelevant. I know I could be wrong, losing to hope to win isn’t a good look, 👀 always root for a Laker win.

If Lebron is still "sick", just rest him and let the players figure it out.

Grizzlies would look scarier with Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke
Ja Morant, Marcus Smart
Desmond Bane, Luke Kennard
Ziaire Williams
Jaren Jackson Jr
Bismack Biyombo, Santi Aldama
I wonder if there will be another change in the starting lineup to matchup with them better.
This one is important. Home game. Memphis could challenge us for the final play-in spot if they can muster a post trade deadline surge, like we had last season.
