An 18 point comeback was needed in the 2nd half & Donovan Mitchell didn't play last night due to a groin injury (he will be fine.)

Magog March 14 Share March 14 (edited) Well, the Lakers lost again. This time to the Milwaukee Bucks 126-106. Austin Rivers & Luca Doncic were the only Lakers that gave a damn last night. Both of them combined for 73 points. The Lakers are now in 4th place in the Western Conference & are currently 3-3 without Lebron playing. They play at Denver tonight so hopefully that'll be another loss for the Lakers. BTW, Steph hit his 4,000th 3-pointer last night. Yippee. (😒) It was just another stroll in the park 130-104 win for those Warriors over the Sacramento Kings. How exciting.

Dalton Knecht was also great with 32 points. Even Bronny helped out a little bit with 5 points. Sadly for the Lakers, it wasn't enough as they lost to the Nuggets 131-126.

They're running on fumes right now & I'm really hoping that they get it together before the Playoffs. This is the wrong time to get on a losing streak. They play the worthless Jazz (except for Colin Sexton) tomorrow so hopefully it wouldn't get much worse by losing to these nobodies. As for those Warriors, Steph got a boo boo (pelvic contusion) on Thursday night against the Raptors. He will be fine. Since, ESPN now thinks their man Steph need some rest for the Playoffs, they now got their wish. Besides, those Warriors are playing a bunch of scrubs & some losers on their 6 game road trip, so they should be fine without Steph on the road trip. The Lakers may of lost to the Bucks 118-89 on Thursday Night & LeBron is still not back from his groin injury. BTW, its still nothing to worry about & LeBron will be fine thank you very much. But, Bronny scored 17 points in the game & went 2-4 from 3 point range. In a surprise to flat out nobody, Bronny has made more 3 pointers in his rookie season (6) than that pathetic loser Ben Simmons entire career (5).

Bronny will be much more success in his NBA career than Ben Simmons will ever have. Hell, even Alex Sarr's sorry ass will have a better career than Ben Simmons. Simmons is a supremely talented player who was unfortunately derailed by mental issues and physical injuries. He was Rookie of the Year and a three-time All Star, and set an absolutely blistering pace for racking up points, assists and rebounds in his early years, second only to Oscar Robertson. He had so many triple doubles that even now that he's barely played in years and hardly shoots when he does, he's still #14 all-time. In short, he was a genuine star and had he sustained that, he would have been one of the all-time greats. Bronny James doesn't have half the talent and will never come close to any of that, except maybe getting selected to All-Defensive second team a couple times if his defense gets even better and his size and health don't get in the way. His future, once his dad finally retires, is as a role player often coming off the bench - not a star. His floor is respectable but his ceiling isn't high. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2756-the-nba/page/158/#findComment-8616919
