**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2023-2024 offseason begins

That 4th quarter was painful. Once were forced to execute in the half court for an entire quarter things get ugly. KCP bailed us out big time with the steal and jump shot.
 
Lonzo's jumpshot is :sick::sick::sick:. All of our pre-draft concerns have been confirmed. Teams are giving him the Rondo treatment, they're daring him to shoot jumpers and he ends up taking alot of really bad shots. He had a couple of bad airballs tonight. He hasn't had a game where he's shot about 45% this entire season.

Literally the only downside to his game at the moment which will be fixed in time. Meanwhile his overall impact across the board is solid...

He's good at everything else. He's a great passer, great rebounder for his position and he's a suprisingly good defender. He has alot of skills you can't teach; great feel for the game. He can play passing lanes and strip the ball just based on his great basketball IQ. His jumper is going to have to be completely deconstructed and rebuilt from the bottom up. We've tried it his way with his backyard shooting mechanics and its not working. There's a reason almost every NBA player has some variation of the same jump shot, its because it works and they can get it off quickly.
 
I guess having a 20pt lead doesn't mean anything in this league anymore. Came so close to blowing this one. But It's still a W so I'll take it. BI was super aggressive. Zo was a little better. 1/8 from 3 tho ouch.
 
my son BI :hat
wish he got the rock more in non iso situations. catch and shoots/dives to the baskets. but loving his progress
 
Great win. Love the fight from these baby Lakers. Hopefully we get to end the green guys' winning streak on Wednesday.
