2017-18 Lakers Season Watch Thread (27-34, 10th Slot on 3/2)

We need to have Matt Groaner to produce a Simpson episode where the Fakers on national TV would be handing the number 2 overall pick to the Celtics...they seem to project the future quite well on those cartoon shows. I wanna see Magic’s face turn gloomy...that would be epic.

After dropping four straight, Lakers hold team meeting instead of practice to air issues

They're frustrated by the losing? What did they think. No one in their right mind thought that roster was a playoff team. They play two guys more than 33 mpg who aren't old enough to drink and a third who plays 32 mpg and is a 22 year old rookie.

Suck it up, Lakers.

Watch, when the Lonzo hype train keeps on going and they trade away Clarkson and/or Randle for no reason other than to open up some cap space for the summer, they'll feel even more frustrated.

I mean, some "un-named" Lakers players have already voiced their displeasure with the amount of hype Lonzo gets. Lakers even had to tell LaVar to cool it on the Luke Walton criticism

Big night for the pick.

Go Bulls, Nets, Hawks, Mavs, Hornets.  A win for either Suns-Kings.

Most importantly, Go Clips!

I had a dream about our getting the 2 pick, then Ainge deciding whether to trade up to get Ayton or sit tight and take Bagley or Doncic. He finally trades up for the first pick by dealing the Cs' late first rounder and the Cs go on to win five championships.

In my defense, I’ve got the flu and am semi-delirious.

Nets went on a 13-3 pt run to go up 1

Shaping up to be another really good night for the Lakers pick:

Dallas up 20 on NOLA;

Chicago up 17 on Indy;

Brooklyn up on Miami.

With a guaranteed Phoenix/Sacramento win and a LAL loss, this could be another superb night for the pick!

Still paranoid the Lakers will be too good... but I’m back on board with following them and hoping!

The bunching toward the bottom of the league is *really* tight. One game in the win column separating about 8 teams right now. And the Lakers don't have an incentive to tank.

But hope springs eternal! Maybe they'll just keep stinking. Or maybe they'll decide to send out one of their half-decent players in exchange for a pick as they keep positioning themselves for next year's free-agent chase.

Heat down 35 *at home*?! Why don't they fold like this when we play them?

Also - Dallas has 109 points against the Pellies -- *in the third quarter*!

[CelticsElite]

Mavs win is huge. If Lakers lose, Lakers move to 3rd worst and mavs move above the lakers
