Lakers vs Raptors March 14, 2022 Game Thread

[AirBonner]

19-2 lakers shooting 9% :biggums:

[SATAN]

:oldlol:

:facepalm

Just waiting for the boos to start.

[Full Court]

:milton

[Spurs m8]

26-6

LeGift is being too generous, at this point

:roll::roll::roll::roll:

[SouBeachTalents]

Lakers legit playing like the worst team in the league over the last month. I think their only wins in that timeframe are LeBron's 50 point games. 2/22 and 0/12 from 3 to start the game :lol

[Full Court]

Are the Lakers tanking? I would swear they were....but didn't they already trade their picks?

[nineiron]

They would have won a lot more if Lebron was on the bench. His poor game style and lack of D is why they’re losing.

Shit, you give any nba bench player Lebron type minutes and shot attempts, and sooner or later they’re gonna have a 50pt game.

Lebron isn’t good enough to be on the floor. THAT is why they suck.

[Cyrus334]

Lebron could score 50 points every game until the end of the season and yet nobody will care because the Lakers are so atrocious as a team, Lebron himself included.

[SATAN]

3-25 from the field. :biggums:

[n00bie]

I stayed up for this game and I'm probably going to go to bed. Not worth my sleep on a week night.

[nineiron]

3-25 from the field. :biggums:

Why isn’t your boyfriend making everyone better?

[k0kakw0rld]

People gonna have to be forced to respect the Raptors. No one in the East wants to face us in the first round lmaooooo

Experts said that we wouldn't even sniff the playoffs �� lol

[nineiron]

LeDummy celebrating an and1 while down by 20. Get this clown off the floor

[n00bie]

0 - 16 from 3 for the Lakers.

Calm down there kid, it’s only LeRoid and the Lakers

[AirBonner]

Only LeBron has made field goals in the lakers starting lineup :milton

[bison]

LeTweak

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

Lakers coach is getting fired. He probably doesn't care anymore after his bubble ring.

[Spurs m8]

LeDummy celebrating an and1 while down by 20. Get this clown off the floor

He is the epitome of a selfish, egotistical fvckface with absolutely zero self awareness.

[nineiron]

LeRoid can’t get away with his ugly bully ball bullshit against these Raptors. They have length and a good coach

[Westbrook_Fan]

LeBron's teammates are so bad!

[nineiron]

LeRoid should have gotten a tech there. Bitch ass refs

[AirBonner]

LeBron's teammates are so bad!

Thoughts on Westbrook?

[insidehoops]

Raptors up 47-27 and Toronto has missed three or four WIDE open threes in a row, and should be up more.

[n00bie]

LeBron getting mad about his teams rebounding. He's under the basket too, why doesn't he get the rebound??

[nineiron]

LeBron's teammates are so bad!

I hope you aren’t being paid to do this shit, cuz you’re horrible at it

[nineiron]

Lakers will cut the lead while LeRoid is on the bench. Guaranteed

[insidehoops]

Zero Lakers playing well so far. They're seriously lucky to only be down 17, late 2nd quarter.

[nineiron]

LeBron getting mad about his teams rebounding. He's under the basket too, why doesn't he get the rebound??

He’s a bitch and won’t bang for rebounds. Also he’s too dumb to box out properly

[red1]

should be a 30 point lead.

lakers are dogshit this year

[insidehoops]

Nice play by Malik Monk, driving and finding a cutting Westbrook.

[n00bie]

Nice play by Malik Monk, driving and finding a cutting Westbrook.

Monk seems to be the only good thing coming out of the lakers this year.

[nineiron]

should be a 30 point lead.

lakers are dogshit this year

LeBron is dogshit

[insidehoops]

Raptors slumping now, and a Melo three has this feeling like a game again even though it really shouldn't, and the Raptors should be mad it'is just a 14 point game now.

Toronto has missed a bunch of open threes in this quarter.

And just as I was hitting Enter, VanVleet did nail a three.

[Spurs m8]

LeBron getting mad about his teams rebounding. He's under the basket too, why doesn't he get the rebound??

Who's the centre?

:roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:

[Spurs m8]

LeBron is dogshit

That's being kind

[insidehoops]

Raptors can just wake up and execute for like a minute and it's immediately a 20-point game again.

[insidehoops]

Not seeing any sign of Lakers chemistry at all.

Also unclear who on this Lakers roster really deserves to start on an NBA team, other than LeBron or Westbrook (and Anthony Davis out injured).

(And I'm not sure Westbrook is even best as a starter anymore. Probably better as a bench super-scorer.)

[n00bie]

Raptors can just wake up and execute for like a minute and it's immediately a 20-point game again.

Raptors look bored tbh. They aren't playing with a lot of energy.

[insidehoops]

Raptors look bored tbh. They aren't playing with a lot of energy.

They definitely seemed a little bored mid/late 2nd Q when they missed bunches of threes that were more wide open than they should be.

[Nike D'Antoni]

I dont think Lakers can win any game from here on, unless Lebron scores 50+.

[insidehoops]

Melo went 1 for 6, all threes, in that first half.

[Axe]

Melo went 1 for 6, all threes, in that first half.
Lol

[n00bie]

They definitely seemed a little bored mid/late 2nd Q when they missed bunches of threes that were more wide open than they should be.

Lol Barnes just yawned as he walked onto the court to start the 3rd.

[Spurs m8]

Wheres LeLeader?

3-8 at the half? Weak

You know why?

Because the Raptors came out firing...he gave up within the first 6 minutes....

LeCentre with 4 rebounds.

Fantastic :applause:

[insidehoops]

Trying to figure out which supporting cast players on this Lakers roster have the ability to step up.

Or have the best chance to do it.

Guessing Malik Monk.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers are starting Wenyen Gabriel in 3rd quarter. That's how bad their roster is.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Trying to figure out which supporting cast players on this Lakers roster have the ability to step up.

Guessing Malik Monk.

I wonder if, in play-in, Lakers will use bazemore-ariza-howard-bradley

[insidehoops]

Mid 3Q: Another wide open Raptors three. This time Siakam. Raptors up 22.

[SATAN]

:oldlol:

:facepalm

[SATAN]

LeBron looks like he wants to kill someone. :oldlol:

[insidehoops]

I wonder if, in play-in, Lakers will use bazemore-ariza-howard-bradley

Ah yeah, I meant today, but good point for beyond and for play-in.

[Druckenmiller]

I’m not sure Los Angelass could beat the PHX Mercury.

[n00bie]

LeBron looks like he wants to kill someone. :oldlol:

He constructed this loser team. I don't know why he's so upset LOL

[Keno]

where the **** is ad, bum ass actually made of glass

[Nike D'Antoni]

Frank Vogel quit on his old players, Ariza - Bazemore - Bradley - Howard - Ellington and playing youngsters Monk-Reaves-Stanley-Gabriel.
Will this be the same in play-in? Or will he utilize older players?

[Druckenmiller]

I wonder if, in play-in, Lakers will use bazemore-ariza-howard-bradley

I would actually watch iif they Started those four along with Kurt Rambis.

[Axe]

This feels like a g-league game lmao

[SATAN]

THT :oldlol:

[Keno]

Because funnily enough they are competing with teams that are tanking on purpose like Blazers lol

[k0kakw0rld]

27 point lead :oldlol::roll: Torontoooooooooo :pimp:

[sbw19]

Ah yeah, I meant today, but good point for beyond and for play-in.
Play-in? PLAY-IN?!!

[Axe]

They really need AD back.

[Nilocon165]

He is the epitome of a selfish, egotistical fvckface with absolutely zero self awareness.
You two have more in common than you think

[Nike D'Antoni]

They really need AD back.

Also, one of Bazemore-Ariza to work out, unlike what went all year.

[Cold soul]

I can't wait until the Lakers get rid of all the old vets off this team and started over and rebuild most nights watching Lakers games are a chore and aren't entertaining nor fun to watch.

[n00bie]

Frank Vogel quit on his old players, Ariza - Bazemore - Bradley - Howard - Ellington and playing youngsters Monk-Reaves-Stanley-Gabriel.

His only hope is developing the young guys.

[Cold soul]

I'm ready for a full rebuild I've seen enough.

[Spurs m8]

LeB1tch, stfu

[Spurs m8]

Misses lay up...hangs head, stays up his end of the court...doesn't run back on D or even try.

This guy is absolute uninspiring cancer.

Fvck this cvnt

[Keno]

it looks like westbrook is losing on purpose at this point, stop playing him

[Spurs m8]

Doesn't run back next possesion either...because his assist got blown...throws a tantrum

[2much_knowledge]

half these laker players are literal bums, lbj deserves better

Deserver better... lol. Jumping teams in oportunistic manner and getting the yound assets traded for his vet friends...

[Spurs m8]

it looks like westbrook is losing on purpose at this point, stop playing him

He won't even run back on defense...go fvck yourself

[Keno]

He won't even run back on defense...go fvck yourself

Raptors aren't good enough to be great start to finish, so no surprise they have lapses.

Trent Jr. out rebounding LeBron LOL

[k0kakw0rld]

Well we tried to get Fred VanVleet but he stuck with the Raptors.
Stuck? He has just been named an all-star as a Raptor. He also won a championship 3 years ago. Sit your ass down playa!

Lakers are trash period. And whoever put you in charge made the mistake of his life. You are terrible like I said earlier.

[theman93]

Lebron really out here stat padding :roll:

You seem confused. "Stuck" isn't a bad word. I'm joking that I wanted Fred VanVleet here as an InsideHoops admin but he chose to stay with the Raptors.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Ellington & THT missed key makeable shots, for a comeback.

[1987_Lakers]

Well we tried to get Fred VanVleet but he stuck with the Raptors.

In all seriousness when are we gonna clean this place up?

30 points for LeBron :pimp:

[k0kakw0rld]

Offensive foul :oldlol::oldlol:

[1987_Lakers]

Him and THT are the only ones who shot well tonight for LA.

[Nike D'Antoni]

What did Vogel Challenge?

[insidehoops]

Two admins will be on here a lot more (pretty CONSTANTLY now) for the rest of the season, playoffs and beyond, to make sure that good discussions stay good and don't get trolled by people who only seem willing to discuss one player.

[n00bie]

Him and THT are the only ones who shot well tonight for LA.

They need stats on how many times a player refuses to get back on defense, and refuses to box out on rebounds.

[k0kakw0rld]

30 points for LeBron :pimp:
That's all you care about of course. L

[SATAN]

They could have won this game if they tried. Vogel needs to smash some shit and scream at these guys or something. It couldn't get any worse.

[theman93]

14 points in the 4th quarter for Lebron in a game they were getting blown out. Stat padding for that scoring title :lol

[SATAN]

That's all you care about of course. L

Well the season is pretty much done...So yeah.

I actually think they are trying, but these guys Stanley-Reaves-Monk-Gabriel would not start for any team in NBA.

Why you blaming scrubs on “key” shots?

[theman93]

This is Lebron's own doing. Look at ya boy before pointing the finger at any of his teammates.

[Nilocon165]

Hahahahahahahah ead, lebarry
There were plenty of other games on if you didn’t want to watch him tonight, you virgin

[Nike D'Antoni]

I had last year, Lebron fans call me Anti-Lebron.
I am just giving a neutral take here.

Don't worry, that shitty player won't even be in the playoffs, so like last year, we can focus on proper basketball and proper teams

That 30 points is a half nod to KAT's 60 points against the spurs earlier.

[bladefd]

The roster is horrendous. There is not much he can do. Pelinka/LeBron screwed up going for Westbrook, and I blame Pelinka for the rest of the roster. It's abysmal.

Writing is on the wall for him too. He is done coaching Lakers after this season, and he is probably going to take a year off.

Laker games don't excite me this year. Last 4yrs, I would get so excited to watch when the notification popped up in the morning. I would be excited and impatient for the game later in the day. This year, I don't give a damn especially since November when we saw how terrible the team was in the first 10 games. I knew then it was going to be hell this season.

The only hope for next season is if Philly offloads Tobias Harris to OKC for picks. This'll allow LA to swap Westbrook -- who's on an expiring contract -- and an FRP for him.

There could also be some other teams interested in Russ' expiring contract. I've hear rumors about Indiana wanting to offload Brogdon?

But, obviously, it'll all come down to if Anthony Davis can stay healthy.
