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

If we can have every possession be a fast break, Randle would be god.

 

[Lizakers]

Not true.. He's actually very effective in the post.

Like P said, other things had worked in the game, and were working at the time

What I'm saying is I haven't seen the drop steps, jump hooks, up and unders, crafty footwork etc at this stage. I've seen a lot of long fadeaways from him. And he's too weak to pound the smaller bulkier PGs and get deep post position

Someone talked in Randle's ear.

I see what your saying..

It's good, but not refined array of moves from a guard a la Kobe.

I agree. It's a lot of, I'm a tall *** PG, I'll just shoot it over you, and it will be good.

 

[Lizakers]

Nances left knee is the one he plants to take off
This is serious

 

[pmatic]

WTF was that defense?!?!?!

 

[tupac003]

Well gonna be a fight for this one...

 

[essential1]

WTF was that defense?!?!?!

I call it... The Jordan Clarkson

 

[pmatic]

Admittedly it's a heady move, but I hate the D'Lo rip through to draw a foul.

 

[essential1]

Sheesh that pass by Russell to Clarkson

 

[pmatic]

My goodness D'Lo and these whip passes across the court.

 

[whiplashtw03]

When you plant the way he did and pull up grabbing the knee like that and then can't put pressure on it , it's either going to be a torn meniscus or ACL. Best case scenario knee sprain/hyperextended knee

 

[Lizakers]

What a pass from Dlo to JC

his passes to shooters are so crisp

 

[EddieDoyers]

Larry Nance Jr. will not return due to a left knee injury. He’s getting x-rays now; stay tuned for an update after the game.

[moonman818]

What a pass

 

[pmatic]

My heart is going to break if it's a significant knee injury for Larry.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Clarkson in midseason form

 

[essential1]

A little worried about DLo/Lou/Clarkson lineup

I get Lou is a great closer, and Clarkson has a hot hand... But if there's another possession like the one earlier, you either have to bring in Mozgov for Clarkson, or Deng for Clarkson to get some height

Dat BI dime.

Early Season Form...

His midseason form is not fun

The key is Ingram's development in his offense and body frame
If he can get buckets in clutch time...oh man we are going to be deadly

This!

 

[pmatic]

It must be infuriating trying to guard Lou.

 

[essential1]

The amount of 3 shot foul calls that Lou gets that probably should just swallow the whistle is insane.
