I think they are playing great considering the circumstances. Espically, the Laker are pretty hot from the perimeter

i have never seen a team play worse defense

We can't do anything on D they keep calling fouls and then we're getting obvious foul but nothing called

We need energy guys. Mirotic has to stop being soft and produce.

this defense is next level bad

I can't even be salty about another home L on 3rd game in 3 nights . It's expected.

Our defense was bad in the 1st half and nobody really played well outside of Rondo. He looked solid in the 1st half. They also shot ridiculous from 3 while we were terrible. We need to step it up on defense and hit some 3s.

lakers with 101 points with 15:30 left lmaooooo

Not like AD is playing Lopez poorly. He's just making every shot.

Can't buy a foul from this trash

Don't judge this Lakers team by their record either. If the season started today that is a playoff team with 45+ wins no doubt. They have been very good offensively. When the other teams matches us in space lots of points will be scored.

Jrue starting to get hot....


Also, it's get a bit tiring to hear Joel and Davi constantly ********** about the officiating on every possessions.

niko must have bet on lakers

Well. Their defense sucks, but yes, it's to be expected on the 3rd night against a team that just wants to run.

Defense is soo gassed,

nahhh put niko on the first flight back to montenegro

Our guys are visibly exhausted. We need 12 stellar min to win

Why do our players fall away from the basket?
This is fundamental FFS.

Why we decide to run instead of slowing down the pace for this game anyways? We let Lakers dictate the pace? We eventually ran out of gas at the end of the third. Maybe a second wind can bring these guys back.

Someone has to. I've seen about 5 horribly blown calls

Mirotic is worthless as a bag of garbage. What does he do except get overpowered by low post players and outquicked by thinner ones. he's a liability when not scoring (aka Rhino).

man we need this guy more than anything, most likely gonna go on a three game slid after this or atleast 1/3. this is so important for us if we wanna get that 5/6 seed

Gotta play your way. These dudes young, up to coach to rotate. More possessions the better chance to come back

Nice shot of adrenaline that the team needed!

It's Ryno

We coming back!

More worried about being able to finish strong. IS this 5th game in 6 days... Insane... !?

Diallo has been very impressive from the FT line! Great indicator for him developing a nice shot.

Rondo killin IT everytime in the post. BBQ chicken :snacks:. This team can score SOOOOOO FAAASSSTTT!

After we play the Rockets Saturday we have a 2 day break in between our next 3 games. Should get some nice rest then.

AD misses layup. KCP 3. classic pelicans

just pathetic defense all night

ok AD

Basketball can go from the most annoying sport I have ever watched to the most exciting sport I have watched so quickly!! Haha

Man... This team may give me a crazy finish every game, but this has been the most entertaining season in years. Popping off an amazing game every other day.

1 pt game. We been in so many close games, I'm starting to believe they don't get rattled by anything.

Well it's a 1pt game in the 4th on the 3rd game in 3 nights.

It hasn't been pretty but we are here.

Classic no call.
Fart near Harden and it's a foul.

Guts by the guys on the floor. Coasted the game to save energy. Too bad Miller and Mirotic didn't want to play we could've used them. Cut ties with both of them after the season because they will cost us in the postseason.

just cant get that lead....

I feel Mir would be fine if Gentry would discipline him when he take awful bad shots.

need jrue to win this

It's all to play for. Intense

Jrue has been amazing tonight!

Rondo alley to AD is so beautiful

AD wide open so diallo jacks up a brick...

cant win without a defense

Gentry really showing confidence in Diallo giving him some crucial minutes.

Wish they would have thrown the crawfish trays at the refs. God they are all terrible
