Lakers 96, Pacers 98: Open 24/7! (We Never Close)

PrintThe Los Angeles Lakers lost their 3rd straight game by a final score of 98-96 to the Indiana Pacers. It was a familiar refrain; not the one where they get blown out by an obviously superior team, but the one where the Lakers lose a close game because this team has zero ability to close out a ballgame. Tonight, Derek Fisher's 15 foot jumper put the Lakers ahead by 3 with 2 minutes to play, but it was the last meaningful basket the Lakers would score, as Indiana rattled off the next 7 points to snatch victory from the dentures of defeat (GET IT? CAUSE THE LAKERS ARE OLD AND THEIR GRIP IS WEAK!). First, it was a missed Pau Gasol jumper (he was 4-12 on the night, though he did find other ways to contribute). Then, Kobe passed out of a double team to an open Matt Barnes who predictably missed an open three pointer. Then, after an Indiana turnover gave the Lakers the ball with a chance to attack and 30 seconds to play, Kobe mysteriously held the ball up, waited for the double team, passed out to Derek Fisher, and then watched as Fisher stumbled towards the basket and threw up a lob pass that was so unexpected Andrew Bynum didn't even bother jumping (to be fair to Drew, Darren Collision was stumbling near Drew's unmentionable area (his knees). Kobe completed the quad-fecta of terrible by launching a 30 foot fade away contested three in search of the tie which could only draw back iron. Another awesome example of what has to be the worst team in basketball down the stretch.
The loss will no doubt place a lingering stench on what was otherwise a promising step in the right direction for a team that has had little go right in the past week. The offense put up more points than in the last 4 games, the bench provided more scoring punch than we've seen in some time, and Pau Gasol provided highlights aplenty with his passing, including what I maintain is one of the best passes I've ever seen in a live NBA game. I'd put the video in the recap, but YouTube has failed me like the Lakers have failed us all. A fitting end to the night, sadly.

There are basic Fundamentals that are needed to move forward in this game. Always keep your guard up at all times to avoid being caught in a trap. Overcome the fouls that will be committed against you REBOUND AND PRESS ON. ADJUST to the Limelight: ALL-STAR PLAYERS ARE ALWAYS THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. Know what your role is and play your position. Find a game plan and execute it. REMEMBER YOU ONLY GET OUT OF THE GAME WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT.

at the very least, i suppose losing predictably beats out losing in new, unpredictable ways, right? #graspingforstraws
on a side note, i like ben r’s tweet earlier about cutting kapono and bringing elijah millsap onboard.

which will be a prelude to bringing in paul millsap
i’ll cut luke if we got the costner guy too

Reminds me of the
4-game losing streak last season. I believe we lost a game against the Jazz on the road and to the Pacers at home during that streak.
Proud to be a brony.
Was thinking of that too
I think a loss at Houston was apart of that too.

Hurry up and get the Clipper game over with.
After that and deep into February are a whole lot of matchups where hopefully some confidence (and offense) can be built.

I don’t understand Pau passing out of a post iso vs. West on penultimate trip with no double team.

Omg. The only silver lining I have is that I trust Mitch will fix this team.
What is the nature of your thoughts, gentlemen, when you say "fuddle duddle" or something like that?
BWAHAHAHAHA

So, you're saying that Deron Williams or Dwight will be on this team by the end of the year?
I could live with that! I prefer Deron to CP3 anyways.

It feels weird blaming the coach for things
Guess It’s something i’ll have to get used to

just saw score.
What happened? Last i saw they were leading the whole way.

Lakers screwing up in the clutch, that's what happened
Up 3 with 2 minutes to go, and i don’t even think the Lakers scored after that. Hibbert looked like an all-star center tonight, Lakers choked in the clutch basically

I'm out. I know some of you feel like giving up on this team and think they are done
I won’t say names because Bluexfalcon will get mad…lol. But seriously, if you feel like you are getting closer to the ledge or you want to turn in your fan club card in just be patient. They will be okay. at the very least, give them until March 15 to see what happens.
In my opinion, they are showing good signs of having one of the best defenses. Ironically, they got the stop they needed today if only Fisher wouldn’t have had the ball in his hands at the end.

This is what I fear
That they will just be OK. I don’t want to be an “ok” or “good” team… I want them to be contenders. I feel we are still a “good” team, but we just need more. I’m a spoiled Laker fan, so times like this are rough on me. March 15 can not come soon enough

trust me. I am spoiled about the team to. I don't think that changes will take that long.
these times are rough on most us but they will be good. In my opinion, although their record doesn’t show it, they are still contenders. Just one piece away from convincing me they will make it to the Finals.

"One thing LeBron James has won that Kobe Bryant never has, and never will: A bronze medal."- Josh Tucker
The old 7-11 joke eh?
They were forcing the ball to Bynum so well in the third, and then in the 4th, they run the offense thru Kobe on the high post…
WTF???
Whoever decided to do that, burn him at the stake!!!
Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy.
"My goodness, this is delicious. Hitler! That's a lovely tie you're wearing. You're Goebbels!" -Lewis Black
The short, compressed season coupled with the age of the team and lack of practice time to learn the new offensive system is affecting the team greatly. This is basically a throw away season. They’ll probably make the playoffs as no higher than a 5th seed and may get as far as the second round if they’re lucky but thats about it. Despite the age and mileage on those legs Kobe is still an elite player who can lead the Lakers to another title but this team needs an infusion of youth, especially in the back court.
Hope you're wrong on the throw away season part
As unlikely as it is to win a title like this, there is still a chance. If by some crazy chance the Lakers miss the playoffs, I would just want Kobe to heal. The man does too much, and he’s the most banged up guy on the team. Something is wrong with that…
