Game#71: Los Angeles Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks

[Iron24th]

Disappointing loss

One we needed really bad

Time to wake up or shut up

Mavs shot 47% from 3 line

Malik, Dlo, Vandy, AD and Reaves 0-12 from the 3 line

If the 3 ball isn't going in, take it to the hoop

[blams]

It's seems like this current Lakers team plays with no urgency at all but I'm trying very hard to look for a consolation..

*to hopefully learn from mistakes (now that it has happened twice already?)
*that the other teams that were supposed to lose last night actually lost, too?
*that AD managed to come out healthy? (Remember the wolves seem like theyre trying to make the playoffs but probably lost Ant to injury)

My consolation is this.

It's gonna be tough to win something with so few games played together, but if they put together a solid run until the end of the season and finish in the 6th or 7th seed, that would be a nice recovery,

The downside is, has AD showed he can THE leader of the locker room? Because that's what the Lakers need to know before the end of LBJ.
I'm not sure he's shown that.


He is dominant as hell on both sides and every great has choked late. But I can't recall many three pronged chokes like that lol

AD isn't a #1 but is a damn great #2, when Lebron will be gone if we don't find another #1, that's it.

Any news on when lebron returns? Thought you guys had this game locked tonight against idiot kyrie. AD def doesnt have the clutch gene that being said there is bright options as soon as next year for you guys if AD stays healthy for the rest of this season and plays well in the playoffs... 3 team trades involving you guys the wolves and the blazers etc... Nomatter what AD has a ton of value even with the injury ****.

I’d trade AD to the Wolves for Towns and a 3 and D guy

Looks like the AD goggles are finally off

Walker is not the greatest but he get hot from time to time and is good at going to the basket. Kyrie was in foul trouble and it was a good time for ham to turn to Walker and tell him go in there and be aggressive. Rui was on from down town to but only got 16 min. The Rookie Max have also shown some defensive potential but i do understand he still a rookie.

Walker, Rui and Brown we’re watching how Dennis and Russell just drible around killing us.

Yeah they'll need someone to be the guy even if AD is putting up mvp caliber numbers when healthy

Also- no bueno (free throws in the last minute of a "clutch" game)

Yeah he sucks in clutch FT's we saw it all season long, I don't get why he's still asking for the ball in those situations. Yesterday we had the chance to put the ball in DS's hands to close that game, he's proven to be very reliable in the clutch, but instead gave it to AD...

I watched the magic beat the Clippers in an impressive way, we better not joke around tomorrow against them.

I couldn't believe it wasn't DS or Reaves.

Usually on an inbound pass, DS quickly runs it back to our basket, gets the ball and gets fouled, he always makes both clutch FT's, he has proven to be very reliable this season with that. Everytime we made that play, we won.

But for some reason last night, reaves ignored him running it back and passed it to AD (AD probably asked for it) then I knew AD wouldn't make both. So WTF with that ego thing? Do what's working and fck anything else. Reaves, AD and that prick Ham are all to blame for that play.

These last two ****** games were more difficult to deal with than the one vs IND given the circumstances

If today was the last Lakers would be out the play in. After tonight they fell back out the playin at the 10th spot. They had a chance to be at the 6th spot. The basketball god is giving them so many chances but it keeps slipping away. A loss tomorrow would be a big blow. Davis is still healthy that is good news on the time management but now he have to play hard the rest of the way including the play in if they make.
