Got killed on second chance points trying to have either Adams/Noel out there with Gallo though when the Lakers are running some combo of AD/McGee/Dwight


Competitive losses :stylin:

Basketball is not about putting the ball in the basket?
Yeah and it's also about helping your teammates do it, and stopping the other team from doing so, which he 2/3 very well last night

Melo shot better than CP and played awful last night because he was a red carpet and has no playmaking skills, CP3 still affected the game heavily because he was playmaking and playing elite defense don't box score watch

True. One of the reasons I enjoy watching Lakers games.

Speaking of which, what's the update on Cousins? Is he supposed to come back this year or not?
A few weeks ago they said he could be back for the playoffs, I think they're trying to ease him back in. Don't want to rush him especially seeing as he's came off of two injuries back to back

I watched the game live. Nobody is saying he should have dropped 30 or 40 but, 1-7 in 30 minutes is not cutting it. You can playmake, play defense, AND score better than 4 points in 30 minutes. You talking like Chris Paul is some kind of role player, instead of a supposed semi all-star making $38 million a year.

I hear you but every basketball game isn't the same, he could've just tried to shoot his way out of that 1-7 like Harden or Westbrook would and it would've cost his team. That's not his style

Kings are 6-2 in their last 8 games and those 2 losses were aginst the Lakers and Raptors. I definitely owe Luke Walton an apology. Kings will be getting Bagley back soon too. Things are looking up.
:ehh:
Their stats and metrics didn't look bad during the losses. They just ran into teams who were shooting on fire.
