Mauro Pedrosa 1,031 Report post Posted March 8, 2018 I'll take the L. Mario wasn't good yesterday. Gordon wasn't good the other day. I just hope those two and Isaac can develop some chemistry together. I can't stand watching the old core for another season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AG has largely escaped accountability his whole time here while others have taken excessive amounts of critique. It's only a matter of time before you become the focus of fans' ire. He has flaws but anyone using tonight to complain about him are crazy. Same thing with Nik, he's flawed but played a great game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nik played very well despite his defense. We don't have a chance to win tonight without him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldnt agree more, and he's still 2 months younger than rookie Kyle Kuzma but with 4 more years of experience yet people talk as if Kuzma has more upside, absurd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's not talking about on the message board he's talking about with the team when, early in the season, Fournier and Vogel made implications that Gordon was forcing things and needed to rely on passing the ball more and there's been a few times this season when Vogel has subbed him out for punitive measures in response to poor defense. However theres been other players throughout the year doing similar things but not similarly punished. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but what do Lakers fans who watched last night's game think? Need their opinions first. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know when things become a focus that one wants to work on, other things tend to be ignored but he needs to realize what he was naturally good at, will be just as much helpful if not more to a playoff team.

Yeah, but oladipo had the same issue. It's difficult for guys to be a primary scorer and a good defender. That's why oladipo credits losing some weight and getting in better shape for his all star year. Same deal with harden. Gordon is in shape but he's not in "lead the team" shape.

I don't remember Dipo having that issue all season though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
