OT: Other LA Sports: LA Galaxy, Dodgers, Lakers, Clippers, Rams, Chargers, Angels. USC, UCLA etc

That was the worst. Snell was dominating. Allowed only a single to Barnes and he was yanked.

A gift to Dodgers.

Good Guy Roberts paying it forward!

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Lakers…woof! At least the Kings/UCLA football/basketball will be watchable for me.

 

[cyclones22]

I wonder if dumbass Dave Roberts watched the Phillies use three pitchers tonight in beating the Padres. Allowing their starter to go seven innings he was dominating. What a novel idea.

Yeah but the analytics said they were supposed to pull their starter after the 2nd pitch of the 2nd at bat in the 5th

Joke's on the Phillies

 

[kingsholygrail]

Hate the Phillies, but less than the Padres.

 

[Dr Pepper]

What is going on with Cam Akers? Is he ever suiting up for the Rams again or is he just going to sit out until they trade him?

What a disappointment this season.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

What is going on with the Lake Show? What the hell did Pelinka/Jeanie do to this team? Absolute garbage basketball.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

The Lakers have become the joke of LA sports, and it’s been that way for quite a few seasons now. I guess trading for aging stars and not bothering to draft/develop their own isn’t the way to go.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

They won the 2020 championship by selling the farm but then blew that championship team up for Klutch/Lebron guys. Went away from what made them successful, defense and shooting.

Yet they gave Kobe's agent Pelinka an extension a couple weeks ago. Like who the heck does that? Even before the season started, you could see this team was badly constructed just like the past couple of years. So why rush to give him an extension as GM. Why even give him an extension at all. Totally bizarre. If anything, he should have been fired.
Worst run team in the NBA. The days of a family run sports franchise (with not much net worth) is long gone. This franchise will be horrible the rest of the decade due to no talent and no draft picks. Come back in 2030+ and maybe they'll be relevant again. The sooner the Buss' sell to someone super rich; the better.

 

[Sleeping Dog]

And yet local sportscasts still won’t even bring up a hockey score, let alone anything on the Kings.

 

[mysterman2]

not looking to argue but basketball is unwatchable- I see no draw in a sport designed around tall guys scoring 50 times a game.

The buss family will never sell, they make a lot off this franchise and gives them status in Los Angeles. Even if they do suck.

The problem isn’t money, or having an owner rich enough. It’s having a competent gm that can piece together a good roster that plays for each other. This team is totally dysfunctional and tough to watch. Even the ringless 90s were fun with Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Elden Campbell etc.

Another thing, Ham isn’t an upgrade over Vogel.

I grew up watching the Showtime era Lakers, and I agree. Most of the modern stars today only play and care for themselves, and the sport is certainly a lot softer than what it used to be.

good point...the number of fouls called in your average game as well never sat well with me. Almost as borderline & subjective as NFL Pass interference penalties.

You gotta admire Bird's sportsmanship when he helped Rambus back to his feet. ;-)

The rams still suck at tackling ! 3 yard catch turns into 12.

The Rams kept the same soft coverage the entire SF drive. 10,12, 11, 9. 7, 11, and 14 yard completions ending in an 11 yard td pass.

edit: 3 and out in less than 3 minutes. Rams are falling apart , took a 15 yard penalty after another missed tackle. SF scores again aided by the penalty . This game is over.

 

[kingsfan28]

The Rams!

SF gave up 44 last week, the Rams can't get a 1st down this half. Rams TE wide open for a TD drops it. SF TE wide open catches it for 60 yards. Scores 2 plays later.

 

[Kingfan1967]

Shoutout to LAFC (MLS) going to the championship game..

 

[kingsfan28]

8 straight wins for SF vs LA .

 

[Lt Dan]

8 straight wins for SF vs LA .

All we can hope is that the rams even make the playoffs and then we spoil their playoff run again this year.

Can anyone list the factors of why Niner fans make Sofi their second home? I think today was even worse than the NFC Championship game last season. It was all red from the nosebleeds to the lower bowl. LA usually invades NorCal venues with the Dodgers and the Lakers pre-Steph Curry days and NOT the other way around. That was an embarrassing display of Rams fans attendance especially for the reigning champions.

The Rams left So Cal in 1994, returning in 2016. So, gone for 22 seasons. Lost a whole generation of fans to other teams. The NFL used the open LA market as a bargaining tool against other cities to get new stadiums built. Not a surprise other teams’ fans invade Sofi.

this is is why I stopped watching the Lakers.

I never imagined that I wouldn't know the starting 5, but here I am.... 20 years later...
