Lakers vs. Clippers: The Battle of Los Angeles

[Full Court]

Halfway through the first, the Lakers have scored 8 points.

[Blazers32]

Sleeping game

[LBJ]

Good for Vogel to start Howard, not Jordan.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Davis has to go inside, not settle for jumpshots

[Nike D'Antoni]

Good start for Clippers

[LBJ]

Clippers shooting bad, and we cannot capitalize on it

[Blazers32]

Carmelo knocks a 3, he has been huge for Lakers

[Blazers32]

Carmelo And 1.

[Nike D'Antoni]

The Lakers have a free throw shooting problem.

[LBJ]

Above-average defense, helped by Clippers suckage. Good 1st quarter. We Need to knock down shots.

[Full Court]

The Lakers have a free throw shooting problem.

And a defense problem. Both of those things don't bode well for them should they make it to the playoffs.

[Hey Yo]

Good for Vogel to start Howard, not Jordan.

I believe I read earlier that Vogel said Dwight's the starting C moving forward.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Bad foul by Terrance mann.

[LBJ]

Austin reeves can improve, but not ready yet.

[LBJ]

I believe I read earlier that Vogel said Dwight's the starting C moving forward.

I hope so. Jordan should not see any minute.

[Blazers32]

Lebron And 1.
Both teams dont want to show their cards in non-playoff game.

[Nike D'Antoni]

With 6:34 to go in the second quarter, the LA Clippers lead the Los Angeles Lakers, 33-32.

[LBJ]

This is the last game the Lakers playing the Clippers before Staples Center renamed.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Zubac with brain damage, and bad And 1 lol.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Clippers are yet to miss a free throw, 16/16.

[Blazers32]

Zubac and Dwight are getting CHIPPY

[LBJ]

Referees just gonna let the clippers get every free throw imaginable LOL

[francesco totti]

20 first-half clipper free throws, Lakers need to get a wing

[Full Court]

I think LA is gonna win this one.

[Nike D'Antoni]

I think LA is gonna win this one.

I think so too. Los Angeles winning this one

[Full Court]

Clips playing like absolute garbage.

And they're still up at halftime.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Awful way to close out the second quarter for the Clippers. They were up 11, and only go up 3.

[LBJ]

Clips playing like absolute garbage.

And they're still up at halftime.

The refs gave them every call out there. 20 free throws at the half.

[bison]

THT looked like he could be a star his two first games this season. Ever since then he’s been mostly awful. I’m not giving up on THT but I Would rather have reaves on the floor at this point.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lebron 10 points, his double-digit streak goes on

[Lebron_James]

Lakers can’t make a free throw to save their life and its ****ing embarrassing to watch. They are losing the game at the free throw line.

[LBJ]

Laker's plays out of timeouts have been shite all year. That's Vogel.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Marcus Morris is having a night.

[LBJ]

Vogel has to be the worst offensive coach in the NBA

[Nike D'Antoni]

Vogel has to be the worst offensive coach in the NBA

In part yes. In part, lakers players are total misfits

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

Can't even beat us when kawhi is out hahahaha LeBron is a washed up bum and humiliating his career at this point

Ibaka still has some left in the tank, waiting for his brother kawhi to return for another title run

[Nike D'Antoni]

I think The last time the Lakers beat the Clippers was in the bubble.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Clippers win the third quarter by five to lead 87-79 by shooting 8-12 inside the arc and 4-8 from 3.

[Hey Yo]

LeBron

[Nike D'Antoni]

LeBron

Playing the 5 now.

[nineiron]

Hartenstein making Lebrick look like an old scrub

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lebron complains to the ref, doesnt run back to defending.

[LBJ]

Frank Vogel sucks with the line ups

[nineiron]

Playing the 5 now.

Hartenstein is making Lebron his b1tch. Lakers need a real big man in there

[Nike D'Antoni]

Hartenstein is making Lebron his b1tch. Lakers need a real big man in there

Lebron is taking over the offense but his defense not looking good at the 5 right now.

[bison]

Lakers defense making hartenstein look like prime Hakeem

[Nike D'Antoni]

Clippers have been leading all game, and the Lakers knocking on the door.

[LBJ]

Malik Monk is perfect for the Lakers.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Good, it's close game to the ending.

[LBJ]

Whatever happened to AD shooting free throws being automatic :facepalm

[Nike D'Antoni]

Kennard huge 3

[Nike D'Antoni]

With 3:49 to go in the fourth quarter, the LA Clippers lead the Los Angeles Lakers, 106-104.

[nineiron]

Lebrons defense making hartenstein look like prime Hakeem

Fixed

[Nike D'Antoni]

Westbrook with offensive foul, ruining big momentum for Lakers. Not sure if call is right.

[nineiron]

Lebrick too scared to take any shots rn

[LBJ]

Another timeout. Every timeout ended up in favor of the Clippers.

[LBJ]

The story of the timeouts all game. Every play out of timeouts for Clippers ended up in a score, unlike the Lakers.

Let Clown Vogel go. Get us a real coach.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Kennard so huge.

[000]

Game over

[bison]

Incredibly frustrating loss.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Morris & Kennard are 11-17 from the three-point line.

[nineiron]

Lebron totally travelled there

[Nike D'Antoni]

Vogel might not last the season.

[HunterSThompson]

lebron just can't cut the mustard out west unless its in a bubble

[LBJ]

Vogel might not last the season.

He should be fired right away. It was a very major observation: Out of every timeout, Tyronn Lue drew up very good plays as opposed to Vogel.
That's where this game was lost.

[bison]

Every time they trapped PG they left kennard or Morris open and it absolutely killed us tonight.

[nineiron]

Vogel might not last the season.

it wasn't Vogel that put this roster together. blame LeGM

[3ba11]

lebron just can't cut the mustard out west unless its in a bubble

In a bubble with his sidekick leading the league in scoring and outlaying the future league MVP Jokic - that's the most help possible

[RogueBorg]

Vogel might not last the season.

Did Vogel shoot 9-23?

[Sulico]

Not fair. They have K. Leonard and L. Keonard on the same team.

[kawhileonard2]

In a bubble with his sidekick leading the league in scoring and outlaying the future league MVP Jokic - that's the most help possible

This!

[Druckenmiller]

Vogel sucks but he doesn’t suck half as bad as whoever put this old fart team together. And he doesn’t suck half as bad as the clowns actually playing.

Any fan capable of spelling NBA could have told you this roster was stupid. If LeBron is playing GM and making bad moves that’s on him not Vogel.

[TheGoatest]

lebron just can't cut the mustard out west unless its in a bubble

1st seed in the west on 25.7 pts/7.9 reb/league-leading 10.6 ast after 63 regular season games played, before anyone had any idea bubble would take place.
23 points stacked onto the account. 2714 to go.
Now stay mad.

:banana:

[Axe]

Both ad and kong got double-doubles lmao

[bladefd]

Lakers defense is horrendous. I miss Caruso and kcp. We gave up perimeter defense in place of more offense. Big mistake. I'm still hoping Ariza and Nunn return. That's when we will know exactly what this team is made of and who we are.

[bison]

Ariza and nunn might ameliorate the situation but they are not a long term solution. I don’t even know wtf is going on with nunn. He was supposed to be back by now but it’s been crickets when it comes to news on his recovery.

[bison]

More and more I think about how we would have won games like this if we had Caruso, kcp and kuzma to play tenacious perimeter D. Westbrook was solid but hardly a game changer tonight. And it’s not like we wouldn’t still have Melo and monk if we kept kuz, kcp, trezz and Caruso.

[Spurs m8]

That's LeGM for you

[Full Court]

Did Vogel shoot 9-23?

I know, right? Had nothing at all to do with Labrone shooting 39% from the field and still taking 23 shots. Or shooting 25% from three. Or shooting 60% from the FT line. Or being lazy on defense. If he would have made just 2 more of his shots, the Lakers would have won. Couldn't be his fault though.

AD scores 27-10 with a 67% field goal percentage. He's trying to carry the team, but Labrone is just too much dead weight to carry at this point.

[Johnny32]

vogel has to go. lakers trapping pg13 late in that game over and over had the defense scrambling and giving up wide open 3s. pg was 7-20 from the field and 0-7 from 3pt. go under the screen and make him hit a shot. horrible coaching late.

Kuz and trezz had to go. Trezz was a bad fit and neither play good defense.
