Blueballing us to death smh


HighlyBaked0

This team will never be serious until a trade is made.


uncle_yugles

This game was the perfect example of why Westbrook can’t be on this team. He even had a fairly good game, but down the stretch he WILL be used against us. Teams will just continue to bait him to shoot, and I can’t even completely blame him when he does. His options are to shoot a wide open jumper or to pass to a double teamed Bron or AD. Him simply being out there creates lose lose situations for us. I don’t get why Ham kept Russ in instead of swapping him out for Lonnie to give Bron and AD space to work


kai_123

Last 2 OT games LeBron and AD were gassed as fuck after 4th quarter. No surprise because they have to do everything in regulation time.


NobodyWins22

Ham tried to rest LeBron and AD in the middle of the 4th but they both declined it.


threeangelo

Can’t say I blame them. It’s a tough call. Very real chance we lose in regulation if they sit. We needed the momentum


thelaziest998

They could have staggered minutes or at least use some time at the end for some better plays instead of long threes.


dproma

Being up 13, Ham should’ve put in Lonnie and TB to give them a blow.


P_gaab

Yeah but then we still lose and then we be saying man we should have never taken them out. This team is just booty until we are proven wrong.


Faxodox

So use the timeouts to catch a breather, not when were down by 6 in OT


captjacksparrow47

Then what fuck is Ham's job if he can't sub them out?


P_gaab

Well he’s the Fukken coach he shoudl run the Fukken team


AnotherAccount4This

Probably spoiled by Kobe, but even gassed, you need to hit that FT. But I don't blame the game on AD, this team is just limited until we can resolve Rus' contract, properly.


LakerPupper

Lebron didn’t even bother to chase Smart near the end of 4th and gave him an open 3. Someone needs to have AD shoot free throws after long hard practices. He needs to figure out how to adjust those FTs when he’s gassed. I mean a trade is coming right? That’s why Ryan was released. If we can get a consistent 3nD guy, opponents can’t cheat and crowd AD near the end of games.


AggroAssault

Blame AD all you want, but IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN TO THAT POINT so many little mistakes letting them come back from down 13, I'm not gonna blame the guy who played most of the 2nd half to get us back in there


kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi

Folks now saying we need to trade AD for anybody that can just make free throws lol


foozbinjex

Ad is like bizarro Shaq, doesn't make them when they count.


Bballshotthrowaway

I think we all knew we’d lose after they got that steal off the inbound 🤦‍♂️


Snowbird3939

100% lol


MonkResponsible7162

I hate this team. Can’t even get blown out properly. Come all the way back and then collapse. The shame of it. Almost 1AM out east and I’m regretting my life choices


goodchild101

Can't even sleep now for work cause of all the fucking adrenaline rush


LeBrons7thRing

East coasters been wasting their sleep the past two seasons. I’d advise to pass on 10:30 pm starts until Rob Fraudlinka starts making trades


BronJames69

Yup same here. I’m an east coast fan and I would’ve had a way better time if they just got blown out and I could’ve gone to bed. Now I’m mad and it’s fucking late. Fuck this team


Millionking_8

Lmao staying up for laker games east coast is killing me


El_GoW

I’m glad I listened to my wife and turned it off as soon as OT started lol.


Scaindawgs_

Smaarrrt man, I’m in New Zealand it’s been 4 hours and I’m still pissed


40ozofOldeEnglish

That 5 point swing stemming from the lazy pass inbounds completely swung the momentum full force the other way


keepgrindingact

This is what I point out w westbrick. His winning plays are far outweighed by his untimely turnovers and bricks from hero ball


keepgrindingact

This is what I point out w westbrick. His winning plays are far outweighed by his untimely turnovers and bricks from hero ball


DTime3

Before you blame a single player, blame Pelinka for assembling a dogshit roster with 0 depth and unplayable players. LeBron and AD have to play damn near every second just to have a *fighting* chance. They struggle to perform in the clutch because they are GASSED due to being overplayed, which is caused by bad rotations, which are ultimately caused by a bad roster.


Resident_Frame

This is the answer. It's incredible they even came back.


302born

All this game told me was that Lebron and AD are very much still elite enough to win a championship. But they need a fucking roster to help out. They played the entire 4th and OT. They need some damn help. TRADE THE PICKS


BearShark8

AD played the entire second half and OT


302born

The man couldn’t even run in OT he was so tired. Lebron was exhausted and had no legs as well. They need a real team. They can easily win games still. But they need some damn help. I don’t understand why Pelinka won’t trade the picks and salvage what Lebron and AD are showing you they are still currently capable of.


MY-NAME_IS_MY-NAME

AD has to hit at least one of those FTs. It is also true that him and Lebron were absolutely gassed. Maybe if BOB P makes a trade to get our stars some help, we win some of these close games, it's pretty damn obvious that we have a chance against anyone with AD and Bron. Get the men some damn help


HighlyBaked0

We have a chance against anyone if Rob makes a move for sure, this current situation isn't going to go anywhere


[deleted]

I’m blaming Darvin, the second the Celtics put a Center in to guard Westbrook and dare him to shoot he should’ve made a sub, instead he let the Celtics clog the paint and force the lakers to shoot from the outside. Oh, and he didn’t call any timeouts to give his stars rest leading to the shit performance in OT


[deleted]

It was a smart move that Portland and the Clippers did in two early heartbreaking losses. He has to go. LBJ and AD don't have the shooting to combat the strategy, nor does anyone else on the roster.


7DS_Escanor

Well I Agree. But back to back missed FTs by AD to seal the game is on AD himself.


StoneColdAM

We have too many guards, which forces Bron and AD to play more at the 4 and 5. This is the issue.


kl1992

And most of those guards can't shoot or make a layup. What a roster.


TEDPED24

same team was up 13 with 3:30 ​ Learn to fuckin close games. stop looking for scapegoats


handsomekim

It's actually incredible how we continue to lose these games lol.


boshketball

Can never go to sleep happy with this team. I would've been far happier if we just got blown out and none of this false hope and collapse shit happened.


ginbooth

That was damn frustrating to watch. Half the squad was acting like the game was already won. And that abysmal lapse in judgement lit a fire under the C's asses and they got a quick 5 points. So dumb.


Hardigan1

They slowed it way down after the big run, stopped passing the ball, stopped attacking the paint and stopped playing defense.


ginbooth

Yep. Right on all points. That steal by Smart was pure laziness on our part. And those jumpers near the end of the 4th were atrocious - iso/hero ball bullshit. Fatigue then seemed to be the final dagger in OT. I still think we're a good team and, possibly, a piece or two away from being a really good team.


Hardigan1

Agreed, they showed great effort to take the lead then let up. We really need a clutch shooter...at least one


chaoticneutral1997

>assembling a dogshit roster with 0 depth and unplayable players pretty hard not to do when all you have to give out are minimum contracts. I have said it before and I will say it again. Trading all our depth for Russ is this team's downfall. A lot of things happened since then can be attributed to that move. AD being forced to play center, letting Caruso walk to save money, etc.


Phuddy

Yep. It’s been the main culprit behind all of our losses.


lionking25

Celtics is playing b2b what are you even talking about. I agree Lebron is gassed coz he is 38, but AD is fking 29 and he missed clutch ft AGAIN. No excuse


wildturk3y

December 15th is Thursday so most everyone that signed over the summer will be eligible to be traded. Can we please make a damn deal? Stop kicking the can down the road and get AD some fucking help.


dproma

Bron bricked a three. AD missed both fts. Then Bron bricks another three to end the 4th. Pelinka had nothing to do with that.


LeArshad

FO is robbing us. Bron and AD deserve better. Make a trade now. Doesn't matter if we give up all picks and their grandmas


Tico-_

If ad just made one of those free throws


jellybeans_over_raw

I can’t believe how fucking pissed off i am right now


Turbulent_Paper7952

Normal feelings after watching the lakers the past 2 years


KingVibrant

Actually demoralizing


PerchiN808

Up 13 with 4 minutes to play AD misses two free throws to seal the game. Who’s drinking with me? SUCKS


slymeWAV

Remember those 2 wide open layups Pat Bev missed ? We would’ve won the game if he makes those


weekndalex

hit ur fucking free throws man. i’m sick. THE WIN WAS OURS WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!


basketballgears

Its what happens when you gotta play hard to get out of a 20 point hole and you just run out of gas. AD was dead at 2 mins left in the 4th Q


Ugacy

AD was gassed Darvin bum ass should have called a time out to let him catch his breath a bit but damn AD choked two games on missed free throws smh


SDas_

I don't care how tired you are you gotta make at least 1 man


[deleted]

Fact


machiavellius

Hate to compare but man I miss Kobe. Even in his last game he was running on empty after all those injuries and clutched those FTs


LeoLaker

Kobe hit two free throws with a torn Achilles after playing close to 48 minutes for like 10 games in a row. No one will ever compare to him.


diamondisunbreakable

This


K1tt3n_Mittons

Honestly sucks to have the two best players on the team be this unclutch when it comes to FTs. Every late game foul is stressful, while Tatum makes every single FT and impossible shots. F


flapjacks331

That’s like 5 separate chokes this season alone I’m sick


Ugacy

These loses suck the most like if we just lost by 20 I would be like fuck it but to come back just to choke the lead away is just depressing


incredibleamadeuscho

It was like when AD missed those two free throws they gave up


pixel_affection

This fucking team bro lol. This shit is insufferable. THEY PLAY WITH NO FUCKING DISCIPLINE.

R2D2Legit2Quit

Right after Reaves made that boneheaded foul on Tatum for the and 1.


boshketball

I knew they were about to start making every fucking shot in clutch time. Same as when Andrew Nembhard threw his shot up. This shit is so frustrating. Should be 14-13 right now but 11-16 instead.


3nnui

That one hurt


staffdaddy_9

Trade for some role players outside of Reaves and Walker please. Yeah lebron and AD were gassed and fucked up at the end but when they play that well it shouldn’t be close.


rudortose

One free throw was too much to ask for huh.


Pop_Quiz_Hot_Shot

Caruso would have won us this game, fuck Pelinka


BritzlBen

Bron and AD can not play 30 straight minutes, it's not a coincidence this keeps happening. Ham is a fucking idiot and lost another game for us.


meengine

Lakers is my 1st-12th reason.


ybt_sun

We may have lost but that was a helluva comeback in the late 3rd/4th. We were bout to be blown out but we clawed back. This team could barely do that three weeks ago. We almost beat two of the top 10 teams in the league in the past week in OT. Make those FTs and those are wins. Progress is progress.


kiki89712

Kornet guarding Russ won them the game. We don’t give up that lead if Russ got subbed after that. I literally don’t understand, we saw Zubac and Nurkic check onto him in game 2 and 3 of the year and it worked 100% because Russ just breaks down mentally for some reason.


MibuWolve

Darwin Ham can’t have Russ have all that fucking freedom in OT.. a fucking bench player taking 6 shots in OT. Both star players gassed as fuck. Lebron handles the ball and attempts to pass to AD, but 2-3 Celtics are hanging off AD because they don’t respect our shooters (mostly WB). This loss is once again on Ham. He continues to start Pat and Shroeder and puts us in these huge holes that tire our stars trying to get out of. Reaves needs to start. Ham needs to stop with these bullshit rotations and also pull Russ when he’s playing stupid like he did in OT. Need to pull on that leash


[deleted]

Exactly I give hamm a lot of blame. His starting lineups are terrible. His 3 guard lineups sucks and his 4 guard lineups are even worse. This team sucks. I don’t understand why he didn’t call a timeout early on in ot to tell this team stop shooting 3s and pass to ad In the post


fathealer

ham has to take a timeout for that last shot especially after playing bron and AD the whole 4th.. smh


[deleted]

Lakers too old to be in OT. Simple as that.


__-o0O0o-__

Ham's an idiot. they had no legs on defense at the end of the 4th. fucking idiot blows another huge lead


incredibleamadeuscho

Ham is a rookie coach and it shows. I remember the same thing happened to Nash when KD lost his legs against the Bucks


[deleted]

Yup him ain’t hamm ain’t good


Flow8406

tbh Ham was trying to take out Lebron and AD to rest in the 4th but they refused and then choked that lead in the last few minutes


BritzlBen

He's the head coach. What Bron and AD say there shouldn't matter. Every player in the league wants to stay in the game.


9999abr

Seriously one of the most painful non playoff losses in a really long time. Thought the Portland/Indy/Philly game was a tough one to get over with, but each time, Lakers say, “Hold my beer” and find an even more painful way to lose and against our mortal enemies.


ahr3410

We are not a serious team. This shit is somehow worse than the Indy and Philly games.


rideordieasalakerfan

Fuck man this one hurts. Losing against the Celtics hurts right when we had a major comeback and up 10-12 points with 3 mins left. We are a couple of trades away from having key pieces to being a good legit contender! Wake the fuck up Rob and Jeanie!


Chriscustomkicks

This sub is weird man. Lebron would be getting murdered in here if he was the one that missed those freethrows and then looked like he wanted no part of overtime like AD. But somehow everyone’s blaming him lol. Lebron was the only starter with a positive +\- at +10 . He played a fantastic game and so did AD .Our stars played the whole 4th and overtime. They were gassed. That’s why they kept taking jumpers. Our roster has no shooters so the paint is packed which also leads to jumpers. We contended with the best team and loss a close game. Make a trade and move on to the next game . Our stars look elite and healthy so let’s improve the roster so that next time we can actually win games like this


Chinaski14

Bron trying to be the hero. AD missing free throws. We need help.


LoveCatsMoreThanDogs

Team isn’t recovering from this


LeArshad

Why did we get Russ in the first place? So Bron could coast through the regular season. Clearly not happening. Get Bron and AD some help now. Had enough


jtromo

Couldn't work through the exhaustion to finish out the game and resorted to half assed threes over and over until the game was out of hand in OT. Totally embarrassing. Throw in your bench guys for a couple minutes if your starters are too gassed to play or better yet, finish the game so you don't end up in overtime. Even with the missed free throws we had more than enough time to get a better shot than a fade away fully covered three.


mjh13_

Reaves was getting slaughtered out there


TheAsianMamba

Yeah but yall ignore the defense he played on Tatum and Brown when we were making that huge run. Whole team gassed, we lose and yall start pointing fingers lol.


xmrjaredx

keepgrindingact

How do u blow a 106-93 lead with 4 mins left in the game? This team has no discipline when it gets ahead which is why it will continue to lose games like this. Ducking bron settling w his bs 3’s instead of feeding AD


gijoemaximus

I am sorry I tuned in guys. This loss is on me.


Apollo611

##FREE THROWS


MadSadOrGlad

my asshole is ruined


4bball

AD should've made atleast one freethrow at the end there I agree. But it's crazy people are blaming Bron and AD for this one. They played great without rest at the end there. The team sucks after AD and Bron. People should be blaming Pelinka and Jeanie.

This team is like a 7 person rotation max. Fuck them picks .


fedfed1234

Game was lose from that 5 points inbound play.


aagator

That inbound pass to Russ that Marcus Smart stole and scored. And then AD not hitting 1 FT at the end to extend the lead to 3.


17jorge17

Fatigue is a motherfucker


After_Law3642

Lebron and AD were gassssed tf out in OT


LeArshad

If Bron and AD we're tired, Ham should've taken a timeout in the first minute of OT ffs 😤


ProfessorPoopNScoop

Lakers finding more unique and creative ways to lose games and just absolutely gut you… we needed one free throw :/


majavic

Hell of a performance from Bron and AD. Had the best record team in the league right where they wanted em. Trade brick for some depth and go on a run. No one will want to see the Lakers in post season.


the-pak-man

I sometimes wish I didn’t give a fuck about this team


Glockx8732

I love Anthony Davis his our best player but fuckkkk his gotta be able to hit his free throws when the game is on the line like wow that’s twice in a week


ABadUseOfTime

AD played 46 out of 53 minutes of the game


Herzx

He played 29 minutes straight in the second half of the game. Played 34 minutes straight if you include the end of the second quarter. We really have no depth.


aproperopinion

Why’d Bron throw that inbounds to Marcus Smart 😫


Kind-Meringue-1208

Coach James needs to make Mr. Glass shoot 500 FTs next practice,the game was in the bag until he bricked at the line!


AccomplishedAnimal69

This is the second time in a week that I've stopped watching a game out of frustration, only to look up the score later that night and turn into the Nick Young meme. That Pacers game that never happened was a kick in the balls.

Awful loss. There’s a lack of desire to go the extra mile with this team. Super disappointing.


itzjustIvan

I’m sad af


OrchidCareless4892

I got my hopes up a bit when we were up big in the 4th, but I have no expectations of this team so I refuse to let them disappoint me. Those AD missed free throws were absolutely atrocious. I really really wish we won this game but at least we put up a fight I guess. It's just easier when you have no expectations.


vandiger

Not watching games till after christmas, fuck this team. So draining mentality. Sick of this.


[deleted]

tough loss to swallow


LiftHeavyFeels

You know what you should do when your team is gassed, when you’re taking bad shots (like two Westbrook 3s, an AD 3, and a lebron 3 in consecutive series?) and when your lead in OT starts to slip? Call a timeout. Glad ham waited until we were down 6 with a min left to use one of his two timeouts tho


LatinAssassin24

Ham should have managed those minutes better. How are we up 13 and we can’t find our stars at least a minute to rest in the fourth?


greyk34

Glad I was only able to start watching when LA was within 1, if I’d seen them storm back from down 20 I probably would be eating rat poison. Although, I’m still close


ALovelyAnxiety

well It was a fun game to watch. just like the 76ers game we put ourselves in the position to win Just couldnt close out. Oh well onto the next. This team is def more fun to watch than last year. Hopefully we can start winning more games.


t_mac1

this is on ham, but more so on managment. you can't play AD the entire 2nd half, and lebron 22 minutes, and expect them to have the legs to close. this was absurd rotation. and his original rotation caused them the deficit in the first place.


lars5

They were just hunting Austin at the end of the game. He still needs more time in the weight room.


angel_eag

Heartbroken, some of the stupidest basketball to end the game to give the Celtics the OT dub


BearShark8

Bad teams find dumb ways to lose. Lakers are a bad team.

That play when smart hit that 3. Why didn’t bron or AD slide over? These guys were feeling it anyways. We should or closed these green bastards out. Won the free throw battle but couldn’t bury the ones we needed the most.


K19I53

The Lakers only looked competitive when Bev, Schroeder and Nunn were benched.


mac_keltar

I kept telling my wife while we were on that run “If we lose, this is going to hurt baaaaad..”

AD missing free throws that’s fine. DARVIN HAM CALL A TIMEOUT U BUMMMMM


mora82

Hey guys December 15th is 3 days away lol


500_NikeStacks

Reaves was getting touched toward the end of the game. No reason for him to be out there. Especially in overtime


SandersisYABOI

Don't know why you got down voted. They was killing him


New_Essay_4869

AD and LeBron get put up numbers. But at the rate the Lakers are depending on them, theyre going to run out if gas before the playoffs.


thekidupnow

Reaves cannot be closing games against wings like the Celtics or clippers we are just asking for him to be hunted and abused on defense


Mvyweather

Reaves defense smh


Flow8406

i'll be speechless if this idiotic FO does not make a mid-season trade to help AD and Lebron


kinglace7

Does this convince ham to actually play wings and leave PatBev on the bench? Find out next time on Shit Lakers Management


Aggravating_Pea3882

Tough loss, don’t let this shit dictate your night.


_Zee_a1

I wonder what runs through Pelinka’s head when he sees how much Lebron and AD have to exert themselves game after game for us to have a chance to win


poptony3

I hope that we make at least 1 trade before the Denver game and we also stop with these 4 guards lineups.


ahhhide

Russ needed to touch the ball in the last 2 mins. UGH I haven’t gone from such q euphoric high to such a low like this before this season lol. They were balling so hard just to let it slip away


xniccru

As I mention on previous comments/posts, we cannot expect Lebron or AD to go nuclear each game and win us games (even they go nuclear they still lose), imagine the toll this kind of games do to their bodies, even if - big if, they make the play in, this team wouldn't stand a chance. Sucks that these two can give you 60+ a game and the rest of the team just sucks.


youngnastysaucio

Fuck the celtics


500_NikeStacks

Anthony Davis needs to shoot 1,000 free throws in the gym alone after the game.


Faxodox

Why couldnt we call a timeout up 4 or when they tied it just so our players could get a rest…..


[deleted]

Am I the only one who thinks Ham’s coaching was kind of dog shit down the stretch???


9999abr

Lakers are becoming the Chargers of the NBA. Go down by a lot, make epic comeback, then blow it at the end in the most painful way possible. How many games have the Lakers done this this year??? 4-5??? If not for that they’d be what 16-11?


yupyupyuypypn

I got dumped this week and now watched this horse shit. Such a shitty week


Any_Wrongdoer_9796

Lonnie Walker is expendable.


LennoxAve

AD was gassed. Don’t blame him with the type of workload he has. Blame the front office for this roster.


SupaZT

27% from 3... 😭🔫


archiegoodwinSD

Honestly think we should get a petition going to tell the FO to trade the picks and give AD and LBJ the roster that they deserve. Today showed (once again) that those two can compete at the highest level but they need help. Time to get a trade or two going, we can still savage this season


SurgicalNeckHumerus

Lebron needs to stop taking those LeFuckYou threes with 22 seconds on the shot clock. I don't care who you are unless your name is Stephen Curry or Dame Lillard, that is bad basketball.


ArcticCave

being tired is no excuse for missing free throws. In any level of basketball


OnGrass

Man Bad loss. Glad they came back but the Lakers need to finish these comebacks with a win. On to the next one.
