    You don't think the Lakers are more talented, have greater experience, more length, significantly more depth? They're as good or better than us 1-2, 4-12 in my opinion.

    Couldn't watch the game but saw a MASSIVE FT discrepancy.

    Was it that bad?

    They got some 50/50 calls early, but our inability to put anyone on LeBron or AD put us in scramble mode. After that, we either would foul or give up a rebound because we were out of position.

    This was my takeaway as well. We got ground down because the main guys basically have to play every minute.

    Our depth, or lack thereof, let this team down. Just got blitzed in every minute we played with Mario/Simons/Wenyen and the guys were too tired at the end.

    I thought I had the green font on, but I guess I didn't... Yes, I agree with you!

    I am very angry. I will forever root for any oponent of Lakers. Despite all weakness on our side, but when
    you play against Lakers, you play against refs as well. I hate PG, Pat Bev, and Westbrick., really hate, but i swear i will root for them against Lakers.

    Blazers need profesional help at half time, prior 3rd qtr.

    Also need: Keep as starters only starting backourt. Fire: Stotts, Melo, Simmons, Collins, Hezonja, Whiteside, Gabriel.

    Keep as bench players: Trent, Ariza, Nurk (yes unfortunately, sorry Nurk you are my Bosnian, but you are not Gobert) and Hood.

    Get some real, real nba level on positions 3, 4, 5 who can play on both ends, equally deffense and offense.. Until that, no hope and time of Dames prime is running slowly. Must do it asap.

    I am very angry. Maybe tommorow i will denied my self.

    The bench is better when they have Collins, Ariza and Hood.

    Couldn’t we have added 1 or 2 more bodies for the bubble? Could use them right now

    Yes. I suspect we didn't for one or more of the following reasons:

    1) We weren't thinking about making any real playoff push
    2) Jodi doesn't want to spend extra money
    3) The available players were more interested in playing for contenders
