I can't believe Evans had another shot to win the game at the end of regulation and he still couldn't come up with a shot.
I don't mind the 1on1 ISO. That's fine. But at least call a timeout so you can make sure Reke will start the play with more than 3 seconds left on the clock!

Huh?
laker fans who chant for tacos in their home games? where do they lie?somewhere between fanatic or bandwagon?
i know a bunch of bandwagon laker fans too just annoying some who have followed the magic days i respect... any ways
i dont expect us to win the championship this year i expect us to bring it to the lakers.... im happy with how some of our players played... but it would have been more gratifying if we WON
Except I believe the lesson Tyreke learned isn't better than the lesson that the entire team would have learned had they won the game off of their hard work and passion. He didn't put the players in position to make mistakes, he put Tyreke in position to make mistakes, while the rest of the team was forced to watch their hard work being squandered.
I find this hellarious. So nobody wants Tyreke on this team anymore? Everyone will be in love with him next time he wins a game for us. He's 20 ******* years old! Give it a rest.
Now some here want him benched. Others say he can't play the point. And others say he single-handidly lost this game for us. Please. I think he's entitled to a few bad games as a 20 year old rookie with the defending nba champions game planning or him. He's young. He'll get much better.
This was a very tough loss. I'm sick to my stomach. But Tyreke wasn't the only one making mistakes at the end. We are a very young team that just forced the defending champions to double overtime. We will learn from this.
We had no timeouts left.
LOL! I didn't know they did that.
I think many Laker fans are just spoiled. I mean, they expect to win every game and last night, they booed. Pretty funny.

Tell me where nobody said they didn't want Evans on the team anymore. I didn't read ONE post that said so.So nobody wants Tyreke on this team anymore?
Coach said that the last play of regulation is called the 1-4 flat an it was designed. Reporter asked him, " but it was Kobe, 1 on 1.". Coach said "yeah, it was fun wasn't it?"
WHAT?
I see what you trying to say. Evans did not execute because he wanted to take on Kobe and Brown every time without recognizing what the defense was giving him. His job should be setting up the play for the team. Just to score all the time in the those clear outs are not what Westphal had intended. He will learn but in order for that to happen he must recognize the best play is the one where he creates for others instead of his self. It will make his game easier once he learns, of which I have no doubt he will.
Does anyone know where I can hear the postgame interview with Westphaul?
+1.if you want evans to be the man at the end of a big game you've got to give him the ball at the end of big games. That's the only way that he's going to learn how to bring it when the heat is really on. Unfortunately, we're going to have to watch him make mistakes en route.
Was just looking (again) at poll above for WTF moment of the OT Cavs game. What would choices be for this 2 OT Lakers game? Something about not taking a timeout in the final 13 seconds of first OT?; putting Tyreke back in w/hard fought 7 pt lead only to have it disappear?; Tyreke going one-on-one again at crucial time after dribbling away the clock?
We're the defending champions off a back to back with injuries to our starting line up playing on the road. We're the best, but we're not gods. We're human.
And the kings are clearly better this year than last year. And guess what? One of those 17 wins last year was against us...
Anyone who thinks this game should have been a blow out or a simple cake walk is delusional. Period.

Yeah, that really is the way it looked.
Tyreke failed tonight, really for the first time since Kevin went down being a detriment. But from the opening lineup, when Westphal intentionally put Beno back in so Tyreke could guard Kobe, it felt like Coach had a plan here -- he intentionally kept putting Tyreke in those positions. And I assume that he is disappointed in the results. But other thna 1 or 2 plays this wasn't Reke freelancing out of ego. This was a Coach trying to teach him how to be great.
Guys, I'm a member of the Neo-Gaming Age forums (NeoGAF) and one laker fan over there is just making pansy *** excuses about how Lakers aren't really expected to walk all over the kings. His excuses are hilarious.
