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

[whiplashtw03]

Transition defense once again

 

[mr j 858]

I hope that's sarcasm.

Not anyone here said he'd ever be a franchise player

Oh you must have forgot about the "mini Barkley comparisons" or "Julius is a completly different player this season"

Won't be long before people on here in the local media & national media are saying he's a BUST after being drafted #7 in the 2014 draft.Especially if he hasn't shown enough improvement by after the allstar break and going into next season if he's still on this team.

If Luke brings Russell back into the game after this timeout, NOW is the time for DLo to prove me wrong and lead this team to victory.

Nets bench



Let's get this W man! D up fellas

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Brandon and them lazy *** entry passes man....its a habbit for him

 

[pmatic]

He picks up his dribble too soon and can't muscle his defender when they pressure him.

 

[whiplashtw03]

We don't need three pointers right now. Damn

 

[moiety]

So. Many. 3's...

Nick certainly got fouled on that one a minute ago

 

[whiplashtw03]

This is a LOSS in the making. 

No stability with that sorry *** starting unit.

 

[moiety]

Come on Nick

 

[moiety]

Edit-- ball don't lie

 

[pmatic]

Randle commits the stupidest fouls at the worst times.

 

[whiplashtw03]

This guy Russell is a JOKE man. I swear to God...

 

[moiety]

Mannn, we've had a bunch of stops but can't get a bucket on the other end

 

[lovehateself]

Team went cold
3's werent falling
What do you expect from a jump shooting team

 

[whiplashtw03]

GAME OVER

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

Smfh

 

[whiplashtw03]

Lakers all of a sudden think they're the '06 Suns.

 

[tupac003]

Why all the 3's?

 

[pmatic]

Since D'Lo came in:

Drew two FTs
Got a good look for a Swaggy three
Got a steal from Lopez
Drew an offensive foul
Created the initial look that got Deng a decent corner three look
Got into the lane but missed
Kicks out to Deng for an open three, miss

 

[whiplashtw03]

NO Leader

NO Alpha Dog

NO Point Guard

NO Floor General

NO Wins.

Wake up Mitch and do what you know you have to do!

 

[moiety]

I know we're young and all, but damn this team needs to learn clock management. Been launching 3's nearly every possession down the stretch and didn't need to

 

[whiplashtw03]

Since D'Lo came in:

Drew two FTs
Got a good look for a Swaggy three
Got a steal from Lopez
Drew an offensive foul
Created the initial look that got Deng a decent corner three look
Got into the lane but missed

Kicks out to Deng for an open three, miss

All of that means NOTHING bro. He makes ZERO impact as the leader on this team. He fails to MAKE OTHERS BETTER.

Nothing but 3 point shots...I just don't understand.
