Commentary:

Watched the Lakers game from a suite tonight. I think I was the only one actually watching. Most were bored and dialed out. Sad.

Tonight's Lakers game was the second NON-sellout of the season

— Serena Winters (@SerenaWinters) February 12, 2014

If the Lakers were a Broadway musical they would have had the rest of the season canceled by now.

— Ben Maller (@benmaller) February 12, 2014

(I don’t think that reference is registering with most Lakers’ fans.)

Fellow Lakers fans, chill out. As a fan of both the Eagles & the Nationals, I appreciate the value of even 1 title. We got 17. #LakersNation

(Not ready to “chill.” We’re spoiled and want a winner now!! Stomp, stomp, stomp)

LAKERS. Does the Offense philosophy change in dealing with injuries? Triangle Offense would force ALL players to be involved.Ball moves Fast

(for those counting lottery ping pong balls)

D'Antoni is clueless with utilizing highly skilled big men in the post. If he had wilt chamberlain and Kareem he'd be lost.

Injury related news:

Pau Gasol told me he's seeing a doctor Thursday to see if he can progress rehab beyond work on elliptical

— Mark Medina (@MarkG_Medina) February 12, 2014

D'Antoni on Nash: "His hamstring was a little fired up." Said he thinks Nash is "day to day" but hasn't discussed it w/training staff.

— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) February 12, 2014

Blake's elbow is very much still bothering him and affecting his shot. It's painful when he shoots, and limits his ability to even practice.

— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) February 12, 2014

Steve Blake: "It still hurts when I shoot." He was 2-for-11 Tuesday.

— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) February 12, 2014

#Lakers Chris Kaman: "No one planned all these injuries… [my back] is fine I'm just old…I'm not use to playing all these minutes"

— Elisa Hernandez (@EHernandezTV) February 12, 2014

Blake on Nash: "I'm pretty concerned. I know he's dealing with a lot of pain. I see how hard he has to work just to get in the few minutes."

— KEVIN DING (@KevinDing) February 12, 2014

Fan Game Reaction:

Kaman's right. Lakers aren't tanking. They just suck. Can't wait till the off-season

— Lloyd Christmas (@Laker_Dude) February 12, 2014

It's unfortunate all the injuries but one things forsure is I'll keep supporting no matter what the record says. LAKERS 4 LIFE!!!

— artlakers (@ArtLakers247) February 12, 2014

@bgarcia90 I've heard of this thing called "defense" but after watching the Lakers I've come to the conclusion that it's just an urban myth.

Raining maaaad 3s in LA tonight #LakerNation

— Mauii (@missmauii) February 12, 2014

(Is that a shout out for Raining3s?…oh…no that was early in the game when the Lakers were drilling those 3s…)

I was 99% on tank mode , I'm now 110% on tank mode. #Lakers #lakersnation #tankcity
