They'll sign someone like Rondo 

Good move.

How in the hell is this only a 9-point game?

I miss Sedale Threatt.

2 more to go.

If there was a game the Lakers could lose being complacent, that was it.  Nice that they didn't fall into the trap.  The D in that 3rd quarter saved us!

Did you watch the game?

[HaloMilliVanilli]

You need to turn your sarcasm meter on, broseph!

And, of course, I watched the game!  I'm a Lakers fan for gods sake.  Also, I was going to look back and find the reply where I said THT would hopefully earn some minutes by the second half of the season after he showed up in 2 playoff games and do the "I agree" thing.  Too lazy for that shiz plus small sample size.  Haha!

Another 13-point deficit.

Somehow only down 3 after a completely sloppy first quarter. Kuzma finally got word that the playoffs started.

The USPS lost his notice.

What is going on with this team since Friday?    Complacency?

Defense suddenly sucks!

Let Olynek go off the past two games?

Really?  Really?  Really?   Really???

Guys, they are missing two of their 3 best players.    Wake the }%%% up!!!

[Lou]

It was bound to happen.

Yes, I took the 1H and Game points. 

[Blarg]

So many turnovers in the first half, a lot of poor shot choices, sloppy defense with unnecessary fouls. They certainly didn't look focused to play a full four quarters. 

Miami didn't reach this series by sucking. It's a good, almost great team. The Lakers need to play up to their talent level to win.

[St1ck]

Huge win!

[Blarg]

The Lakers took their union mandated day off from basketball, handing Miami a win and went back to work last night.

As good as Lebron still is, as Cat mentioned, he is 33 with 15 NBA seasons under his belt.    

The Lakers already have Ball, Ingram, and Hart on the perimeter.   There is truly only room for one FA standout on the perimeter, and to me PG-13 is the better option due to age.

Sign PG-13 and Capela, and if possible re-sign Randle.

Capela, Randle, PG-13, Ingram, and Ball starting; Kuz and Hart as the two key players off the bench; sign a veteran backup PG to one of the exceptions; and hope that either Zubac,  Bryant, or maybe the 22nd overall draft pick in June develops into a solid off the bench post player.

That team doesn't play for titles.

What in LeBron's game has he shown he's slowing down? 

Does he give the Lakers the best chance to win a title in the next 3 years? 

I'll tell you who doesn't make the Lakers an automatic title contender - any other FA available.

We're not the Clippers.  It's time to play for championships again.  

I agree

[Lou]

I had forgotten about AO's obsession with Capela. 

[Angel Oracle]

I agree.

Adding Capela would have obviously meant no AD, due to cap space.

[Angel Oracle]

Take it away Rod!

”Tonight’s the night!”

[Lou]

Time to tie Boston with 17 titles.

At one point, they led 17-9.

[Lou]

Oh shit

[AngelsLakersFan]

They gotta get a big win in this 4th quarter to pull it off.
