    I think the Clippers match up well with them. Granted, the Clippers have 4-5 solid/elite wing defenders and we have 1 who is 6'5".

    Yeah, that is another big problem. We are using Gary almost exclusively on the defensive end. Using all his energy. We aren't getting the offense from him because of it.

    His first 3-pointer of the night. He had hit a mid range jumper earlier in the first half on an and-one with AD bumping him.

    The refs called two totally different games. And I know the answer is that you’ve just got to be good enough to overcome that. But we’re not. So it all feels a little pointless.

    yeah it’s hard to watch us shy away from the basket literally every possession.

    the refs wanted to even it out but we take jump shots every possessions

    We're still in this series but we have to play with a lot more effort. Getting out rebounded like this is just pathetic. We obviously have to shoot better and I think we will but we have to show more desire to win these games if we want to have a chance.

    I thought the Lakers did a nice job of deciding they were going to stay on Trent and use their length to make Wenyen/Whiteside make plays. The luxury of their length and depth.

    Exactly. Just like making it to the WCF last season. It resulted in Stotts and CJ extensions.

    Still not scared of these fools. They might beat us but they’re not winning a championship

    Because stotts sucks. How many coaches in NBA are still coaching 8 years deep?? I hate stots. He is like Jason Garrett of cowboys. Can not make adjustments to safe his life. Nurkic stinks and he keeps playing him

    Lakers arent going to get that many against other teams, so they better enjoy it while they can

    Personally, i didn't think lack of desire was a problem tonight.

    Lakers aren’t even that impressive. I think any playoff team in the west would love to face them. They are so lucky they are playing us

    Maybe if we're lucky we can turn into Sacramento or Pheonix!
