Hello, andakers Nation.

Welcome in. Trevor Lane here for Lakersnation.com.

You're home for everything.

Lakers, this is the Lakersnation.com live postgame show.

I have a feeling.

People in our chat are not too happy right now.

The Lakers once again fall to the Oklahoma City Thunder, despite building

up a big lead at one point. The Lakers led by 19. Last time around it was 26. The Thunder

have won two games in total this season, both of them, against your Los Angeles Lakers. No

LeBron James. Big problem for the Lakers, not able to get a win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. We're going to break it down. We'll talk a little bit about what went on in the game tonight. We'll talk about the Outlook moving forward. How big of a deal is this? We'll get into all of that. Hopefully by the end, everybody in the chat will have vented and released some of the anger that they've got in them right now.

And by the end of this, we will hopefully be happier people joining me to help assist in this goal.

Is Matt ever the optimist, Peralta?

How are you doing, man?

I'm not that upset, Trevor.

Why?

You know why?

Because when I've learned very quickly throughout this season, it's only been, what is it,

nine games now for the Lakers, is that if you have no expectations, you can never be

disappointed.

That's the trick, just lower the bar. Just just lower those expectations.

Lower the bar. Take a step back. Night's like tonight. You just have to laugh because it's ridiculous at this point. And so I'm adapting just fine.

It's obviously tonight was a was a frustrating. I mean, on the surface, you look at this game and you say, you say, okay, the Lakers, they don't have LeBron. They don't have THT. They don't have a reason. They're missing all these pieces. All this stuff's going on, right? And that's obviously going to be a factor. It shouldn't matter, though, against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
