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

[WAKKO!]

West better watch out now

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Kuzma. Best player in the draft.

 

[EddieDoyers]

Just noticed Brook only scored 4 points today....and we still won

 

[goldmember]

Julius consistently playing well.

 

[ill steelo]

We were talking about Ball. I'm on the fence with dude, and I think that's fair considering the fact that he has had some not-so-good games and some good games... and a couple triple doubles.

What specifically does "on the fence" mean?

Lmao

 

[kobeoverbron]

Look at the sexy Prez putting his foot down. LOL

 

[dceja]

It seems like 40 wins would get us in the playoffs this year would be huge for our young team

 

[delete1234]

Lonzo would really be the goat

 

[sohi 23]

Julius has improved so much over the offseason I'm really curious if the lakers are still gunna let him walk for nothing.

Gonna be so much blood this offseason.

 

[Lizakers]

Oh ya he’s gonzo, Magic wants a star to say “look what I did, I got Lebron to come here (or whoever else)”.

And playoffs would be nice, but that schedule about to get real

- Ugly first half with awful defense and way too many turnovers. We get getting cooked by G-league guards. In an 82 game season though there will be nights like this and I'm glad to see us fight back (even if was against the worst team in the league). I feel like we wait til late in games to start playing defense. Why not just play good defense from start to finish?

- Kuzma-- what more can I say. He's been our most consistent offensive player. Very aggressive as always and I liked his playmaking. If he can improve his defense over the course of the season I can see him becoming a borderline all-star is a year or two.
- Zo-- stop shooting 3s. Just stop. There's a reason you're wide open. He needs to be on a 2 three diet: miss two in a row then stop. Otherwise fine
- Randle--did his thing on both bends. Good game
- Ingram--He needs to take at least 15 shots every single game, not kidding. He can get into the lane at will with his length, I don't understand why he's so tentative. If you watch Giannis highlights from his 2nd season he played very similarly. He just needs to be more aggressive (and get stronger of course)
- KCP--saved the game for us and sparked the comeback. love it.

Patrick Beverly out for Clippers.

4 game win streak possible?

Oh how the tables have turned. After all that trash talk on opening night, now the Clippers have lost 9 in a row and we have a much better record.

 

[sohi 23]

Not only that, Milsapp injury is huge... Conley is out for another 2 weeks too.
If the Lakers can make it through December & still be in contention around New Years, I like their chances because the schedule gets a lot easier from January to April.

 

[mosk33toe]

i live in SF and was thinking of catching a game out in sacramento, but unfortunately the dates don't work out for me.

the last time i was in sacramento, we rented an airbnb and when we tried to check in, vlade divac was there using the guys' pool. so random

Will be going to the same game, fellow bay area Laker fans who can't afford to go to the Warrior games UNITE!

Good Winn last night. kuzgawd

First of the core here:

 

[darthska]

What specifically does "on the fence" mean?

I explained that in the response you quoted.

... like I said, I'm on the fence with the dude. I'm not writing him off, but I'm definitely not like "Oh, yeah! He's it! The future is here, and it's bright!"

 

[ill steelo]

I criticize ppl for not reading, and I did not read shame on me

 

[darthska]

No worries. I have the same criticism but fail in the same way from time to time.

 

[delete1234]

We gotta win tonight
