    Obvious tank in laker game

    Lol. It's all good. Lakers need the top 5 protected pick. But starting Ryan jelly and Tarik black vs Enis kanter and Steven Adams is a comedy. Lakers are getting so badly rebounded. And they are also playing a zone, which rarely works in nba. As a result the okc Thunder also getting wide open 3s all day. Kinda funny to see is all.

    Big ups to lin though. Guy is seriously balling lately. Can't do much this game though as lakers giving up like 40 points in paint at half

    Even Robert Sacre is getting minutes.

    This top five protected pick is as big as a championship this year for the Lakers.

    They do. But matchups matter. Changing the lineup to this group is asking for domination in the paint like u see tonight. Lakers do not want to risk any chance of a win

    Why would you try your hardest to win if you're LA? So you lose by 10 instead of 20?

    They are experimenting with lineups and seeing who can play while jockeying for draft position

    Yes, because the spread was +10.5 at first so losing by 10 was beneficial

    Lakers lost by 10 points and they used people off the street. Thunder are useless.

    Dion Waiters scored 20'something

    He's one of the worst players on OKC

    OKC basically ran the dive play the entire game and dropped 130

    Anyone watched that game. The Lakers missed two point blank garbage layups in the final seconds to cover the spread, if you got it at 10 or 9.5.

    I watched the game. Lakers got abused inside on every play. It would be a fireable offense for any head coach of the goal was not to tank.

    That's not entirely true. If a team knows, how to properly play zone, this could be an effective strategy. It doesn't work however, if they don't know, how to play zone properly or if the opposing team is on fire at the 3pt line and in the mid-range.

    Lakers trying so hard to lose this game in the 4th to the wolves. Sit the hot hand in lin. Sit their big rim protector in Davis. Playing jelly and black and Jabari brown. But these fcks from minny now have to go into ot to possibly win. Hilarious.

    Andrew wiggins is really really good. He's going to be a great player in this league. Cleveland fcked up.

    I wonder who LA will draft.

    Maybe Cauley-Stein?

    Randle / Cauley-Stein would be a menacing frontcourt going forward.

    Not really. They played the second tier guys all 4th and overtime. Minny just sucks that bad. The tank was definity obvoius. Players don't try to tank though. They always try to win

    Did you see the Wolves lineup? Martin, Rubio and Pekovic sitting. That's like 75% of their scoring.

    This game looked like a fukking tire fire before it tipped off.
