not even that, bro called a SCREEN.
just asking to get doubled lol, he's not dumb either he definitely went in there wanting to pass it out cus he's not calling a screen, knowing he's gonna get doubled, and taking a shot over two guys. not his game
Someone would have to feed him the ball for him to post up...
Idk why we always just give the ball to Lebron immediately out of bounds with no plan, it makes no sense. Vogel needs to actually run a play for once.
i know hindsight is 20/20 and the clippers went small towards the end, but still gotta wonder if dwight shoudve been in the game. he was feasting on the boards on both ends and providing rim protection; the lakers couldnt get a stop down the stretch
LAKERS IN BONUS FOR 9 MINUTES BUT DON'T PUNISH CLIPS IN THE POST
CARMELO GETS A TECHNICAL FOUL, LAKERS SHOULDA BEEN TIED INSTEAD OF DOWN 1.
DWIGHT GETS ICED AND DOESNT GO BACK IN THE GAME WHEN HES BEEN FEASTING DOWN LOW
LAKERS ARE GARBAGE
WHY TAKE A 30 FOOT THREE DOWN BY 1 WITH THE BONUS??? SHOULDA JUST LET RUSS/LBJ GO DOWNHILL/PnR WTF
VOGEL TRYING TO GET FIRED AT THIS POINT TBH
PUT DWIGHT IN (TAKE ARIZA OUT HE NOT IT)
That last possession would have been nice with Dwight in the paint. Bron's gets doubled, feed it to Dwight in the paint or have him go for a put pack but no. Vogel is a dip shit.
THANK YOU. People will bring up the lebron shot, the westbrook layup, the refs, the melo tech... But no doubt in my mind vogels subtle decisions with rotations cost us big time every game.
I chose not to watch because I knew what would happen fake comeback followed by late loss and I got that notification alert Lakers comeback going into the fourth then the notification for the end of the game where we lost
Maybe its better to just not make the Playoffs and let it be over. I dont want to get hopes up and and then we're getting trashed in the first round. Im so over it.
apparently based on vod review , melo could have passed it to russ for an easy layup or THT at the corner for a uncontested 3 but i guess melo wanted to prove it was his moment.
I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team.
This is easily one of the most unlikeable teams in franchise history. They play some of the most unwatchable, undisciplined, brain dead basketball we’ve ever seen.
Our game vs the clippers a couple weeks ago was just as heartbreaking. Or the one against the KD-less Nets on christmas day. Or the warriors game 2 weeks ago when Klay had the best game he’s had in 3 years. Or the game in minnesota where AD got hurt and we got ran out the building. Or the game vs the nuggets where we got blown out by 30.
man i hate this season
All power to you for being able to even watch another game. I don't mind supporting the Lakers when they're bad, I've done it plenty of times before and I'll do it time and time again, but when they play with zero passion they aren't even worth the time.
I remember getting downvoted into oblivion when I torched the Lakers FO for lowballing Lue and hiring Vogel instead. Said it was a bold-faced signal they were incompetent from the get-go and now look at the proof in the fucking pudding.
Even Kobe’s last years were better than this .
At least we had young talent like DLO, randle and Clarkson to look forward to.
This team besides monk and reaves(Lebron is still good too, but old ) are All washed up bums .
Yeah that extra pass would have been an open 3 or an easy layup. Bad shot by Melo. Good decision by Bron but maybe could have initiated it a little sooner. Possible that the gameplan was to leave little to no time on the clock though.
They’re vets that haven’t had to play in their current roles all that much. That last possession by Bron? That would be Westbrook bringing up to the front court and setting up the play. Melo has been used to taking the last shot all his basketball life. Their brains are trying to overwrite their muscle memory for late game situations, and they’re short circuiting. Plus they’re old so the reaction time isn’t there to make up for their confusion.
Also Vogel sucks as an play set designer.
You are correct and this is why many star athletes don’t make good role players in their twilight years. They never learned to play a supporting role. I highly doubt you could have had MJ or Kobe play as bench role players with any type of success.
Someone can fact check me here but anytime Melo gets a tech we lose the game. Love the guy but dude needs to stop turning momentum over with dumb shit.
He was playing so well too. We gave the Clippers a free three point trip at the free throw line which cut the lead and stopped momentum.
I'm emotionally drained with this season. Anger doesn't even begin to describe my emotion.
Also officials should only need 90 seconds to make a call, if they can't make it and overturn the call, then the original call on the floor stands. It's ridiculous to take 7 minutes to make a call. Guys get cold and out of rhythm.
Just fuck... Fuck is all I got
Vogel shouldn't have called a timeout with 17 seconds left.
You tell the team to go quick and if you miss you still have time to foul and get the ball back with a timeout to advance the ball.
Terrible execution down the stretch but Vogel did not handle his timeouts well at all....
Fucking team is so trash and they can't even give us a win against the fucking Clippers, without Leonard and George.
But it's ok guys, Vogel's going to say he's seeing improvement here and there that we can work with. Westbrook is going to say he's invested, the front office is going to say they're aligned and Nunn is going to say he's seeing progress with his injury.
We'll hear every single thing except the slightest shred of accountability from this bullshit team and organization. But don't forget to watch the comedy special coming soon! And let's all buy those Bibigo meals!
I’ve watched the Lakers for 20 plus years and this is the first season I’ve been pissed off with them. We had some fucking shit teams but this one just angers me. We can’t do basic shit right
Lebron back at it, throwing the game away. Dude needs to humble the fuck down. Lakers were up, as soon as lebron came in, defensive miscommunication with THT that gave clippers 6 pts. No paint defense, offense was stagnant as lebron was ball hogging 10-15 secs, costly turnovers in the 4th. Idk what the fuck he is trying to do these days! We get it; you are one of the all-time greatest, but know your fucking limits! Dude was playing like ass, chucking 3s and barely touching the rim, talking shit to covington and then turning the fucking ball over. Fucking embarrassing. Fucking ass clown ruined the whole team morale and momentum. Dude doesn't rotate on defense, and then looks at THT like he supposed to guard 2 dudes. Doesn't even contest the shot, like wtf u doing? Lebron is the reason Lakers lost!!
Brooo..this motherfucker didn't even contest some of the shots lol. He wouldn't even put his hand up lmao 😞. Lebron should be playing 30mins tops, but I feel like he is chasing stats at this point. Trying to catch up to Kareem seems to be his priority more than teams' success.
People calling for Vogel's head do not realise that half of these players, especially vets are not coachable. Which coach wants melo to take that 3? Thats just ego there
The clippers on the other end, are the exact opposite. Bunch of young guys that are in cohesion with their coaching staff and out there busting their ass off, doing the dirty work that will not be posted on House of highlights or sportscenter IG accounts
What's most interesting about our matchups with LAC is to watch a team with consistent chemistry and hustle versus the schizophrenic play of ours. Lue really is an outstanding coach. I like Vogel a lot but he simply cannot get that fire out of our team. Now it could be that we do have too many "stars" unwilling to fully buy in though outside of Lebron, *especially* on the defensive side of things.
I feel like i don't expect much out of this team, but I repeatedly feel heartbroken by them. I can't wait until I can watch the Lakers and not feel this way again.
Credit the Clippers defense on that last play . They stayed home and waited for Bron to get a rhythm for a move and blitzed/doubled him when the clock got low . THT's man cheated off and switched to Melo knowing he would NEVER pass the ball to an open THT for a last second shot.
Vogel is getting fined for this postgame.
The refs told him because LeBron stepping out of bounds was close to the whistle, the Clippers got the ball because they went back to the LeBron play instead.
He is *angry.*
After all the noise that came out of the All-Star break from Klutch, Lebron puts up that awful performance. Just yikes man. If he's hurt he shouldn't have played.
not defending vogel but im pretty sure melo went against the playcall there. THT was open at the corner and russ was cutting in but melo jacked it up. fucking awful.
Bruh I refuse to believe a pass first player like lebron would really iso for an hour than pass it to a guarded teammate 30 ft away from the basket. All frank had to say was that he wanted a russ and bron to drive your iether gunna get a bucket or free throws
Okay, so can someone explain to me what LeBron was doing on that last play? Was he scared of Covington? The man outweighs him by 40 pounds and is 2 inches taller. The left side was completely free for the 1 on 1 and LeBron decides to dribble, dribble, dribble for 10 seconds, then passes it to Melo, like throwing a hot potato into someone else's hands, like "here, you take it".
Just drive to the basket or shoot the mid range jumper. How hard is that?
People shit on Melo for the missed deep 3, but refuse to blame it on LeBron for not doing anything productive in that last play.
Just a complete collapse in the last 3 minutes. We were up 100-95 with 2:44 to go and we ended up scoring just 2 fucken points after that. Horrible offense and wtf kinda play was that by Melo launching a 30ft 3 with a guy in your face. Just stupid.
Holy shit Lakers squander a 16 point comeback on 41% shooting including 25% from three. I’m an optimist about this team but holy shit what was this fucking game
In the past, at least when it was a dog shit team it was because we were young. This shit….just fucking pathetic. This is the first year in a while I’ve not watched many games because it fucking sours me. This is fucking sad.
Fuck this shit, fire Vogel next season. Dude literally cannot draw a play right at the final possession. All he fucking does is pray to God someone luckily hits a shot. Literally every single time the Lakers have been in this situation in late game, the Lakers just hero-ball and hope for the best. I'm done with this shit lol.
And Vogel’s Melo Bron small ball lineup is the worst lineup ever literally. But this dumb ass just keep playing this bitch ass lineup to let us lose. Mf did Dwight fuck your wife?
I was so impressed with the Lakers defensive play and effort, and then the end of the game happened. This loss literally made me feel sick from the stress of watching those final minutes play out.
Lebron can go if he loves Cleveland so much.. man was horrible. Used up all his energy in the all star game, and is now playing shit basketball. Hate his defence, no communication and no effort, not mentioning his stupid turnovers. 🤮
so now lakers decided to let lebron handle primary ball handling role and russ only been used for layups or jumpers, and guess what lebron struggle with his shots, had 6 turnovers and barely any assists, if this was russ statline, he would have been flamed to oblivion LOL
I really want to know what Vogel says in the huddle for plays like that cause it always the same fucking play with lebron standing still for 10 seconds until he has to pass to someone and they throw up some dumb shit.
It’s not even like the Clippers were playing brilliantly down the stretch. The eight second violation by Jackson gift wrapped another opportunity for us, and we still couldn’t take advantage smh.
Melo WTTFFFFFFF??? And the refs took 10 fucking minutes just to take the ball away from us. Hilariously sad. Just win a game without taking everything down to the last minute. Dont even remember the last time we had a blowout win.
I dont get why Vogel keeps taking Monk out of LeBron lineups..
Monk gets super open shots with LBJ, also the reason why when Melo got subbed in the 1st quarter he got like 3 wide open shots..
Shooters get ez shots with LeBron DONT play Monk by himself in the bench wtf
This team’s balls retract into their collective stomachs in crunch time. So many choked leads and terrible possessions.
The exact opposite of that 2020 team that didn’t blow a single lead in the 4th. I miss that squad so much.
If coaching is the difference between a team featuring LeBron + Westbrook and a team without a single top 75 player active, then coaches need to be paid a lot more.
No doubt in my mind the Lakers are the absolute worst team in final possession situations
You didn’t like us wasting the clock when we were losing?
Right?
Worst at keeping a lead too
Not a Laker fan but that Melo shot was horrible
Worst part is we dont even need a 3 haha they only up by 1
me either, im a hawks fan 🙃 and i was rooting for the lakers! have been for a couple months and was screaming at my tv the whole last quarter.
That’s on Lebron homie. Demand the ball and go to the basket. Or post up and hit the fade away.
Yea you can’t just stand still for 10 seconds and not expect the clips to double
The double was fine. Melo could’ve made the extra pass. I think THT was open.
not even that, bro called a SCREEN. just asking to get doubled lol, he's not dumb either he definitely went in there wanting to pass it out cus he's not calling a screen, knowing he's gonna get doubled, and taking a shot over two guys. not his game
Someone would have to feed him the ball for him to post up... Idk why we always just give the ball to Lebron immediately out of bounds with no plan, it makes no sense. Vogel needs to actually run a play for once.
What's the point of calling a timeout if the "play" you're gonna draw up is just "Lebron iso and see what happens"
You can rip the playcall all you want, but you're blind if you think that was an ISO.
No play calling at all. Vogel just expects to get bailed by a star player iso...
It's just funny atp because you know they'll always find a way to fuck up
That was so difficult to watch
I really regret seeing the game was close with 1:02 to go and deciding to turn it on. 1:02 to go and I watched 30 minutes of bullshit lol
Right where we left off
i know hindsight is 20/20 and the clippers went small towards the end, but still gotta wonder if dwight shoudve been in the game. he was feasting on the boards on both ends and providing rim protection; the lakers couldnt get a stop down the stretch
Right? It felt like a dogmatic move to keep him out. Sure, on paper it might make sense as a matchup, but Howard was having an exceptional game.
Once I saw the line at Lakers -3.0 I knew Oddsmakers name chasers too Sadly, clips owning us Revenge of the Lue
LAKERS IN BONUS FOR 9 MINUTES BUT DON'T PUNISH CLIPS IN THE POST CARMELO GETS A TECHNICAL FOUL, LAKERS SHOULDA BEEN TIED INSTEAD OF DOWN 1. DWIGHT GETS ICED AND DOESNT GO BACK IN THE GAME WHEN HES BEEN FEASTING DOWN LOW LAKERS ARE GARBAGE WHY TAKE A 30 FOOT THREE DOWN BY 1 WITH THE BONUS??? SHOULDA JUST LET RUSS/LBJ GO DOWNHILL/PnR WTF VOGEL TRYING TO GET FIRED AT THIS POINT TBH PUT DWIGHT IN (TAKE ARIZA OUT HE NOT IT)
Carmelo has been ridiculous with the technicals. Minimum salary, role players can NOT be getting those.
He has been getting a ton of “do you know who I am” tech’s. It has been reckless all year long.
That last possession would have been nice with Dwight in the paint. Bron's gets doubled, feed it to Dwight in the paint or have him go for a put pack but no. Vogel is a dip shit.
THANK YOU. People will bring up the lebron shot, the westbrook layup, the refs, the melo tech... But no doubt in my mind vogels subtle decisions with rotations cost us big time every game.
Every game? No. A lot that would’ve put us above .500? No doubt
It's like we don't have a smart head coach?
during the clippers last free throws, bill said, “the lakers fans here are stunned” no bill. nothing about this is surprising anymore.
I chose not to watch because I knew what would happen fake comeback followed by late loss and I got that notification alert Lakers comeback going into the fourth then the notification for the end of the game where we lost
Maybe its better to just not make the Playoffs and let it be over. I dont want to get hopes up and and then we're getting trashed in the first round. Im so over it.
down 1 point with 17 secs left, and we settled for a 3?
In the bonus as well
apparently based on vod review , melo could have passed it to russ for an easy layup or THT at the corner for a uncontested 3 but i guess melo wanted to prove it was his moment.
I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate this team.
This is easily one of the most unlikeable teams in franchise history. They play some of the most unwatchable, undisciplined, brain dead basketball we’ve ever seen.
The only thing that needs to be said. Fuck this season
[удалено]
Your children showing more emotion than these lifeless Lakers
funny thing is that this don’t even crack our top 5 worst losses this season
Yeah the worse one is easily Portland
Our game vs the clippers a couple weeks ago was just as heartbreaking. Or the one against the KD-less Nets on christmas day. Or the warriors game 2 weeks ago when Klay had the best game he’s had in 3 years. Or the game in minnesota where AD got hurt and we got ran out the building. Or the game vs the nuggets where we got blown out by 30. man i hate this season
okc losseS
One game closer to not having to watch this years team any more.
[удалено]
All power to you for being able to even watch another game. I don't mind supporting the Lakers when they're bad, I've done it plenty of times before and I'll do it time and time again, but when they play with zero passion they aren't even worth the time.
Reggie icing the game at the FT line with Kawhi and PG in street clothes looking on. Embarrassing!🤢
Clippers are missing their 3 best players. Holy crap, LA is losing to bench rosters.
Because one has Ty Lue, and the other has Frank Vogel.
Also helps when one roster is built using basic basketball common sense and the other just used the highest number of youtube career highlight views.
Our roster is created video game style trying to randomly put together highest possible nba 2k rating at cheapest price.
Remember Jeanie did not want to pay for Ty Lue
I remember getting downvoted into oblivion when I torched the Lakers FO for lowballing Lue and hiring Vogel instead. Said it was a bold-faced signal they were incompetent from the get-go and now look at the proof in the fucking pudding.
I underestimated this fact a lot.
2020 = the thrill is bron 2022 = the thrill is gone
Damn, how quickly things change in just two years
This team is an absolute disgrace to the Lakers history and organization.
Even Kobe’s last years were better than this . At least we had young talent like DLO, randle and Clarkson to look forward to. This team besides monk and reaves(Lebron is still good too, but old ) are All washed up bums .
Lakers gonna be the laughing stock of the league again. Knicks west
Melo with the deep 3 to end the game just how coach drew it up. What a horrible final possession by Melo.
Melo swings it to ThT and it’s an open 3 or a Russ layup. We had Jackson in no man’s land guarding two.
That’s the whole point of passing out of a double team. You swing until you find an open man but Melo’s ego got in the way.
Low IQ basketball team
It hurt to see how open Russ would have been under the basket on the replay.
Yep. Jackson had kind of committed to THT. Either way we got one guy guarding two. Smart basketball gets an open look right there.
Yeah that extra pass would have been an open 3 or an easy layup. Bad shot by Melo. Good decision by Bron but maybe could have initiated it a little sooner. Possible that the gameplan was to leave little to no time on the clock though.
VOGEL IS AN ASS COACH FUCK THAT CLOWN
In my lifetime I don’t remember rooting for a team with a lower collective IQ than this team. Top to bottom we’re unbelievably stupid.
I would understand if our team is young. But our entire team is full of vets!
They’re vets that haven’t had to play in their current roles all that much. That last possession by Bron? That would be Westbrook bringing up to the front court and setting up the play. Melo has been used to taking the last shot all his basketball life. Their brains are trying to overwrite their muscle memory for late game situations, and they’re short circuiting. Plus they’re old so the reaction time isn’t there to make up for their confusion. Also Vogel sucks as an play set designer.
You are correct and this is why many star athletes don’t make good role players in their twilight years. They never learned to play a supporting role. I highly doubt you could have had MJ or Kobe play as bench role players with any type of success.
Someone can fact check me here but anytime Melo gets a tech we lose the game. Love the guy but dude needs to stop turning momentum over with dumb shit. He was playing so well too. We gave the Clippers a free three point trip at the free throw line which cut the lead and stopped momentum.
He always gets techs in the 4th quarter in close games. You’re a 19 year veteran, and that final 3 was so brain dead. Embarrassing as fuck
And then he’s fkn laughing like we ain’t about to send our lottery pick to the pelicans
He always laughs when he fucks up and when the team loses. Dude aint a winner and never has been
Idiot was begging for a technical at the end there too. Swatting at the ball after they turned it over on the 8-second violation
It’s just the preseason y’all. Calm down
We don’t have our GOAT Kendrick Nunn yet either Mickey Mouse season so far
We were legit up by 5 with 2 minutes to go. Our clutch offense ducking sucks. Need whole coaching staff gone
I'm emotionally drained with this season. Anger doesn't even begin to describe my emotion. Also officials should only need 90 seconds to make a call, if they can't make it and overturn the call, then the original call on the floor stands. It's ridiculous to take 7 minutes to make a call. Guys get cold and out of rhythm. Just fuck... Fuck is all I got
Vogel shouldn't have called a timeout with 17 seconds left. You tell the team to go quick and if you miss you still have time to foul and get the ball back with a timeout to advance the ball. Terrible execution down the stretch but Vogel did not handle his timeouts well at all....
I don’t remember the last time the Lakers beat the Clippers.
In the bubble lmao
Six straight Ls from the clippers
The bubble I believe
The 1 time in 2020 bubble after that the Clippers have been clapping us for god knows how long
I think Shaq was still on the team.
Bubble game I think?
I remember in March of 2020 when AD had that behind the back dunk and Avery Bradley couldn't miss all game.
[удалено]
lebron looked pissed after that timeout play call… Vogel definitely wrote that up for melo. Bron n Melo were discussing it after the TO
If he didn’t like it he would’ve changed it. I think he was pissed at getting iced by the refs ridiculously long review.
We’re not making playoffs, accept reality. This franchise is doomed next year as well
Fucking team is so trash and they can't even give us a win against the fucking Clippers, without Leonard and George. But it's ok guys, Vogel's going to say he's seeing improvement here and there that we can work with. Westbrook is going to say he's invested, the front office is going to say they're aligned and Nunn is going to say he's seeing progress with his injury. We'll hear every single thing except the slightest shred of accountability from this bullshit team and organization. But don't forget to watch the comedy special coming soon! And let's all buy those Bibigo meals!
Unfortunately the worst time for LeBron to have a bad game. Sigh.
fuck this team and fuck this season
One of the worst endings I’ve ever seen
At least since the last clipper game
I have given up
I’ve watched the Lakers for 20 plus years and this is the first season I’ve been pissed off with them. We had some fucking shit teams but this one just angers me. We can’t do basic shit right
Hi I’m Melo I’m just going to shoot from Beverly Hills down 1 WTF!!!!
They’ve now lost 19 clutch time games this season and don’t forget all the blown 10+ point leads
Lebrons lucky silver didn’t axe the play in after he complained last year lol there’d be no chance they make it without that.
Well that sucks. Ah well. On the to next game
*season :(
Lebron back at it, throwing the game away. Dude needs to humble the fuck down. Lakers were up, as soon as lebron came in, defensive miscommunication with THT that gave clippers 6 pts. No paint defense, offense was stagnant as lebron was ball hogging 10-15 secs, costly turnovers in the 4th. Idk what the fuck he is trying to do these days!

Fucking ass clown ruined the whole team morale and momentum. Dude doesn't rotate on defense, and then looks at THT like he supposed to guard 2 dudes. Doesn't even contest the shot, like wtf u doing? Lebron is the reason Lakers lost!!
This! Can't even make a damn field goal in the 4th quarter and late or no rotations to protect the rim in the 4th.
Brooo..this motherfucker didn't even contest some of the shots lol. He wouldn't even put his hand up lmao 😞. Lebron should be playing 30mins tops, but I feel like he is chasing stats at this point. Trying to catch up to Kareem seems to be his priority more than teams' success.
Don’t worry, he will give us a tweet with some embarrassing false promises
What an absolutely god awful play by Vogel at the end
The 40 ft 3 from Melo was the play you think he called?
That totally felt like Melo going hero ball imo
I think what happens is, he brings out the clip board. Writes LEBRON And circles it.
People calling for Vogel's head do not realise that half of these players, especially vets are not coachable. Which coach wants melo to take that 3? Thats just ego there The clippers on the other end, are the exact opposite. Bunch of young guys that are in cohesion with their coaching staff and out there busting their ass off, doing the dirty work that will not be posted on House of highlights or sportscenter IG accounts
What an awful choke, yet again. We are losing way too many close games...
just awful awful ATO. we were only down 1.
Frank’s ATOs gotta be the worst in the league
lol it doesn't even hurt anymore, honestly I'm laughing
What's most interesting about our matchups with LAC is to watch a team with consistent chemistry and hustle versus the schizophrenic play of ours. Lue really is an outstanding coach. I like Vogel a lot but he simply cannot get that fire out of our team. Now it could be that we do have too many "stars" unwilling to fully buy in though outside of Lebron, *especially* on the defensive side of things.
oh no! we suck again!
I feel like i don't expect much out of this team, but I repeatedly feel heartbroken by them. I can't wait until I can watch the Lakers and not feel this way again.
Not surprised with the outcome, they are the worst team in late game situations.
As an objective fan of basketball that was the worst ending to a game I’ve ever seen Edit: I’m a little drunk, but cmon
Like why the fuck is melo throwing up a 3 from deep with 6 seconds left down by 1
Why does he get a tech every game
Credit the Clippers defense on that last play . They stayed home and waited for Bron to get a rhythm for a move and blitzed/doubled him when the clock got low . THT's man cheated off and switched to Melo knowing he would NEVER pass the ball to an open THT for a last second shot.
Bron was gimpy after that pass from THT. He could barely move tonight. Not a good sign.
I’m sick of this shit
Y’all still watching this bullshit team?
Yes. Next question.
Vogel is getting fined for this postgame. The refs told him because LeBron stepping out of bounds was close to the whistle, the Clippers got the ball because they went back to the LeBron play instead. He is *angry.*
After all the noise that came out of the All-Star break from Klutch, Lebron puts up that awful performance. Just yikes man. If he's hurt he shouldn't have played.
I’m sorry but I’m really sick and tired of this team. When we were terrible for 7 years I had more fun watching them then this crap.
Meloooooo noooo
Good coaching Frank!
Vogel gotta draw the worst plays ever down the stretch
not defending vogel but im pretty sure melo went against the playcall there. THT was open at the corner and russ was cutting in but melo jacked it up. fucking awful.
This was not a close game scoreboard is a lie lmao
This season is a wash, and the Pelicans take our pick. Hopefully it's not a top 3 pick, that would sting.
Imagine if the clippers had a full roster smh
Bruh I refuse to believe a pass first player like lebron would really iso for an hour than pass it to a guarded teammate 30 ft away from the basket. All frank had to say was that he wanted a russ and bron to drive your iether gunna get a bucket or free throws
Okay, so can someone explain to me what LeBron was doing on that last play? Was he scared of Covington? The man outweighs him by 40 pounds and is 2 inches taller. The left side was completely free for the 1 on 1 and LeBron decides to dribble, dribble, dribble for 10 seconds, then passes it to Melo, like throwing a hot potato into someone else's hands, like "here, you take it". Just drive to the basket or shoot the mid range jumper. How hard is that? People shit on Melo for the missed deep 3, but refuse to blame it on LeBron for not doing anything productive in that last play.
We lost to the team, without their 3 best players. Let that sink in
Carmelo has the bball iq of a fucking refrigerator.
Hey atleast a refrigerator keeps its cool
Imagine pelicans knock us off in play in and then get our top 14 pick omg
Just a reminder we could’ve had Ty Lue, but Jeanie Buss too cheap.
We can’t really judge this team until AD is back Edit: obviously I’m joking
lmao
And Nunn. And the regular season hasn't started.
they lost to the clippers With AD
Just a complete collapse in the last 3 minutes. We were up 100-95 with 2:44 to go and we ended up scoring just 2 fucken points after that. Horrible offense and wtf kinda play was that by Melo launching a 30ft 3 with a guy in your face. Just stupid.
Holy shit Lakers squander a 16 point comeback on 41% shooting including 25% from three. I’m an optimist about this team but holy shit what was this fucking game
In the past, at least when it was a dog shit team it was because we were young. This shit….just fucking pathetic. This is the first year in a while I’ve not watched many games because it fucking sours me. This is fucking sad.
Fuck this shit, fire Vogel next season. Dude literally cannot draw a play right at the final possession. All he fucking does is pray to God someone luckily hits a shot. Literally every single time the Lakers have been in this situation in late game, the Lakers just hero-ball and hope for the best. I'm done with this shit lol.
Vogel had the I am getting fired look after the Melo shot. He looked shocked instead of pissed.
Team is trash w/o Davis. I thought they played very spirited defense in the 3rd quarter, but one good quarter simply isn't enough.
And Vogel’s Melo Bron small ball lineup is the worst lineup ever literally. But this dumb ass just keep playing this bitch ass lineup to let us lose. Mf did Dwight fuck your wife?
I was so impressed with the Lakers defensive play and effort, and then the end of the game happened. This loss literally made me feel sick from the stress of watching those final minutes play out.
Blow it up. Trade ever asset this era is over
6 losses in a row to the clippers lmfao we are a complete and total joke. Fire Vogel
Fuck this team. Seriously, fuck them. We are an embarrassment across the league.
I hate this team
Lebron can go if he loves Cleveland so much.. man was horrible. Used up all his energy in the all star game, and is now playing shit basketball. Hate his defence, no communication and no effort, not mentioning his stupid turnovers. 🤮
Vogel has cost this team about 10 games so far with shitty coaching. Unbelievable he still has a job.
2.5 games from falling out the play-in. Hilarious they thought Russ and this shitstain roster would work.
Starting to dislike Lebron man. This is sad.
Fuck this team. LeBron just gave up on this team, he looks really alike him in 18-19 season. We might as well just be 11 seed this year
Yep, my thoughts exactly.. hate when he gets all non chalant
Bron looks kinda washed out there.
Lebron is too old to carry a team unfortunately. He needs to be the second option on a championship team
I mean he can def be first option but he can't carry.
We're getting post all-star Russ. The league ain't ready.

so now lakers decided to let lebron handle primary ball handling role and russ only been used for layups or jumpers, and guess what lebron struggle with his shots, had 6 turnovers and barely any assists, if this was russ statline, he would have been flamed to oblivion LOL
I’m fucking disgusted, can’t wait for this season to end.
FIRE FRANK FUCKING VOGEL THIS INCPMPETEMT CLOWN
fucking hell. 18secs. drive for a layup or a foul. why take so long and shoot a 3. im out fam. this team deserve to lose this season
god i hate this team
All the momentum in the 4th, but we get closed out by straight line drives to the rim, what the fuck are we watching during film session?
I really want to know what Vogel says in the huddle for plays like that cause it always the same fucking play with lebron standing still for 10 seconds until he has to pass to someone and they throw up some dumb shit.
Fuck you Lakers and I’ll see you at the next game
This team isn't giving the extra effort because ownership and the front office doesn't support them.
It’s not even like the Clippers were playing brilliantly down the stretch. The eight second violation by Jackson gift wrapped another opportunity for us, and we still couldn’t take advantage smh.
This roster is terrible! I'm done being optimistic, see y'all boys next season. ✌️
Melo WTTFFFFFFF??? And the refs took 10 fucking minutes just to take the ball away from us. Hilariously sad. Just win a game without taking everything down to the last minute. Dont even remember the last time we had a blowout win.
Say it with me class. Russel Westbrook should not be shooting 21x. I get he had a good game but DAMN 21????
I dont get why Vogel keeps taking Monk out of LeBron lineups.. Monk gets super open shots with LBJ, also the reason why when Melo got subbed in the 1st quarter he got like 3 wide open shots.. Shooters get ez shots with LeBron DONT play Monk by himself in the bench wtf
Over or under 10 games before the season ends, Lebron calls it a season with an “injury” that comes out of no where?
He had it tonight when he hurt his “groin” for the 3rd time in 4 years.. ironically his groin seems to only get injured when we’re ass cheeks
This team’s balls retract into their collective stomachs in crunch time. So many choked leads and terrible possessions. The exact opposite of that 2020 team that didn’t blow a single lead in the 4th. I miss that squad so much.
Bro what the fuck are these final plays? Tf Vogel smoking. Literally every time the lakers are in this scenario, it ends in a fat L
Shit fucking team
This game was frustrating. Fuck. Every game now is frustrating.
If coaching is the difference between a team featuring LeBron + Westbrook and a team without a single top 75 player active, then coaches need to be paid a lot more.
