Forward Three wrote:Disappointing loss, but there is a lot of silver lining here. They didn't do great, but the Bench definitely had more life than we've seen in recent games. In particular second chance opportunities and offensive rebounding they were looking crisp. This could have been a lot worse. If the bench can continue to get minutes, dial in and amp themselves up I will like our chances moving forward a lot more.

This was a throwaway game? You do know that LA will probably face Denver in the playoffs, and HCA for the Lakers over the Magic is still up for grabs, don't you?

We still had a chane to win with LO scoring only 5. The turnovers to give and extend the lead for Den killed us the most. Once again, I though LA should have run plays for/through him.

In a close game? No. Without our closer, we need to be doing our work early. Denver still has Chauncey and Melo, so they don't have to sweat when it's close. If LO played the way he's capable of, we don't have to play it close down the stretch.

I care about Kobe and Bynum health over HCA over the Magic. I would sacrafice HCA in the Finals for the health of our 2 star players
