2014-15 Lakers Season Thread (21-61) KAT

[CHAOSE57]

Wesley at it again

 

[licensed to ball]

Lakers came through these last minutes with the horrible basketball IQ.

Giving Monta all these open looks to ice the game for the Mavs

Good job fellas.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Thank you, Monta. Thank you.



Also....Chandler Parsons is trash.

 

[CP1708]

I'm convinced Byron Scott has a form of basketball dysmorphia.

He was a 3 point shooter on a laker dynasty that played fast, ran a ton of pick and rolls and shot a bunch of 3's.


He becomes the coach of the lakers and says, play slow, don't shoot 3's, and don't run pick and rolls are because they are "easy to defend".


Bizarre.

He's a ******* idiot.

But thankfully drives a tank decent enough. Hope like hell we fire him in Mid-April so he can't infect Towns/Randle/Clarkson or the Houston pick.

So who is ahead of us now for number 1? NY, Philly and Minny?

 

[MVP]

RT @KevinDing Lakers have a nifty go-to format for blowing games, and it very much involves letting Jordan Clarkson learn from mistakes.



We meeting up in Vegas to celebrate if we get Towns. Drinks on CP.

Yep.

1.5 games back of Minny. Minny plays the Clippers tomorrow, who played today.

NYK at 13
Philly-Minny at 14
Us at 16

Orld at 20

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Could've swore monta was ellington's assignment.

 

[youngplr06]

They had me worried for a min..didn't let me down in the 4th quarter though...

 

[tupac003]

Well is there any truth to NY going after Russell? Philly shouldn't draft a big so Towns or Okafar should be there for us right?

Bizarre.

Scott is trash, but that 80s team was more like fast break or half court offense through the post (Kareem or worthy), don't remember much pick and roll

Too soon for that stuff man. Need to know complete order, trade offers, private workouts, FA, injuries, etc. All just guesswork right now. No way to know if Phil wants Okafor, or Towns, or Russell and so on. Phil might even be picking after us, never know.

 

[tupac003]

May 19th....can't wait.

 

[kingjaffejo]

These next 2 weeks are gonna be huge for the tank. If we can somehow come out at least 1-3 vs Phil/Min than it will catapult us at that #2 spot.

There is only like what....6 weeks left in the season. It might end up being a horse race to see who can purposely be horrible the best
No catching NY at this point I don't think

 

[CP1708]

16-46 with 20 games left.

Need to stay under 20 wins for a legit shot at 1-2.

I wish we could just fully embrace the tank and bench Hill, Lin, Boozer and Ellington. Let the kids wear out playin 43 minutes a night.

Sacre, Black
Davis
Kelly
Wes
Clarkson

2-3 D-Leaguers. Close the year on an 0-20 run, cement the #1-2 spot. (In case Cleveland gets the #1 again)

 

[laker4lifeman]

Magic number to clinch the 5th spot at least?

 

[pmatic]

No coincidence Kobe makes his return when Rondo is in town.

Before I respond, do you mean 'benched', or... 'injured'? Make something up and put 'em on IR?

Lin: broken ego, can't play

Boozer: broken Black Ice container

Or do you mean just bench then?

 

[noblekane]

I dont want rondo

I rather take dragic or some other young point guard who can atleast shoot and make his free throws

Bench, injure, lie, murder, whatever.

Hell, let them put on their uniform, start the game, jumpball, call timeout, bench.

Whatever it takes. Get me Towns.

 

[kal-el-8]

Tom Penn said thunder would look to trade Durant if no commitment made to team. Which makes sense cause presti won't let anyone go without getting something.

Iono though.
