Random thoughts from Laker Nation: "Larry Nance -16, 9pts in 29min...Kuz +14, 15pts in 19min...also Ball -12, 3pts in 26min...Clarkson +3, 17pts in 26min...Clarkson and Kuzma deserved to finish this game and I would have put Brook in for Randle...Lou Williams with 42 points and Lakers made him look like a HOF'er since they refused to double him off picks nor force him left...I blame this loss on the coaching staff . . . Luke never made adjustments down the stretch, left Clarkson and Kuz on the bench for Nance and Ball...also Brook should have finished the game since we had no rim protector...winnable game for the Lakers down the stretch without Blake on the court . . We dont have time. We dont have a pick. We aren't impressing freee agents. We dont have time. Randle is on an expiring contract, Brook is on an expiring contract, and then KCP too. Thats why they need wins, because 3 of the best players in the team may not be here next season. That would be ground zero again."
I know we are pledged to keep it GHF in here, but real critique of the why's behind the what's is natural for any fan wanting to see some inspired basketball out of what really is a passable lineup this year. Losing sucks, and too much of it can be semi-permanently damaging. Get it together, squad!!!
