Well that was Ugly
It happened again, we lost a game we should have won. That blows! I'm pissed! But....
First off who schedules our young guys, and they are all young guys, showing up in NOLA, on the first day of Marti Gras, and having a night to party before the game?
Really?
When I was in my 20's and early thirties I would have been tossing beads and getting some. So we have a bunch of guys that stayed up late the night before and it was obvious. Other than LBJ, BI, who doesn't party, and Kuz, who is a stud; we looked awful! And we know the other guys were out the night before. And good for them. But it cost us and lets hope it doesn't cost our playoff spot.
Next
The one thing I haven't heard anyone say is that this NOLA team wanted to kick out butt like no other. They want to prove to their guy AD that leaving them is not in his best interest. They hate us! And it showed! They wanted it more. Dialo looked like a guy that just got a confidence boost by winning the slam dunk contest and they played angry, we played hung over. KCP trash, Hart, hurt so trash, Rondo, can't bring it every night, trash, Lance needs to stop being played, and Chandler should only go against other teams big second team 5s. Hate to say it but we could've used Muscala. And our second line up is just trash! I know its blasphemy but we need someone that can score with that second unit, think LO, and its long past time, Kuz has to take one for the team and be our second team offensive punch. Or Luke has to stagger the time line up so that never again do we have those five on the court together again.
Thirdly.
Young teams struggle on the road and we are still a young team. One whose confidence has been shook, who is missing a huge piece, the QB of this team Lonzo. And I hear so many young fans hating on this guy bc his shot is inconsistent, journalist calling out he is a bust, to them I say 6-11 without LBJ, 3-7 without ZO, 5-6 without BI. Take out you calculators and do the math. Not saying ZO is more valuable then LBJ but that guy is very valuable. There has been some very bad Laker analysis on this website, on social media and in the MSM as a whole over the last few years. Lonzo Ball, our QB is very good.
The sky is not falling. SA lost to NY yesterday. The Clips are terrible. But the Kings look really good. Its time this team decide if it wants to make the playoffs or not and starts playing with a sense of urgency. If that does not happen and Lonzo doesn't come back soon....well....
