But how quickly everyone will forget that when saying how they got ahead in this game. BS foul calls change games plain and simple. WHat is more interesting is people will say, "OMG OKC plays great defense on us thats why we aren't in the game." When the truth is we are missing wide open shots. The same shots our team gets killed for when we give them up. In the end, bad end to the half but the game isn't over as this team has shown they have fight in them finally.

I may sound like a broken record, but we desperately need a competent 3. Ron isn't going to cut it.

Well I enjoyed the 1st quarter

Brightside....Earl freaking Clark. Noice!

BS calls do change A game....but when your team is at 15-20 they suck, that should be obvious.

My point being...with or without calls, this team was destined to get destroyed by the Thunder.

Yep...hopefully he fills in nicely for the bad news about Hill.

I literally hate the direction this franchise is going. I'm worried they're going to turn into the Dallas Cowboys, a once proud organization with a rich history turned into a laughing stock.

Metta is terrible, Meeks is terrible, Nash is terrible, Sacre is terrible, Jamison is terrible, Duhon is terrible....what to expect....

No time like the present. It's all too painful so have a drink on me.

Quit complaining about the refs...We are getting beat yet again, get used to it.

Already drinking.

It seems mandatory before every Laker game these days...

I stopped watching after the first quarter so I'm just going to pretend the game ended there.

Lakers is playing not playing bad D, but so is Thunders, we just couldn't make any shots. 0/11 from the threes and 10 are white open. KD made like 5 threes with 3 guard tight. Why can't Lakers get ray allen lol

'It's over for my lakers, no playoffs no nothing' Magic

and I agree

I said the lakers sucked this season but I didn't think it was this bad

Earvin "Benedict Arnold" Johnson

Cheers.

I can't stand BIll Simmons..even though he's spitting the truth...well at least his C's ain't gonna get passed the Heat..Bulls..or the Pacers (I consider those East contenders)

Exactly, it shows how unprofessional he is. Although that's probably why he got the gig at ESPN in the first place.

man oh man . it s not over yet . lakers can still make a run. if you are so pessimistic then you shouldn t say my lakers. because you are always so hard on them . so please stop saying my lakers.you try to get every opporturnity to punish the team.

I'm just not really upset anymore. What really hurts and gets to me is when we lose a really close game after rallying all the way back but falling short.

It's safe to say I guess that I'm just used to how we are playing. I'm hoping it will change when Howard gets back but we don't know when that will be because the Lakers training staff doesn't want Howard to come back till he is pain free in that right shoulder, which mean out indefinitely.

Simmons really is a POS. You have Earvin Magic Johnson right next to you, does he laugh at the Celtics?

we dont have athletic players, we dont have players who can hit 3, no players to play D, no players to run.....what is the purpose of this team, what they want out there....i am asking myself that for last 10 games

what I am really a little nervous and scared about is that this team really may need to be broken up (trade Pau and others) but because of all our injuries the Lakers FO will just say the real problem is all these injuries when in reality its the players that don't mesh well. We could have the same team next year because FO just says we got unlucky with injuries.
