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

[Los Angeles]

I think they just suck more than anything.

 

[whiplashtw03]

****** effort

I hope you got those tickets for free.

Do me a favor, if you get within 10 feet of Russell tell that boy to grow a pair, man up, and have some pride and compete!!

Random note...

First time I've seen David Aldridge in a t shirt.

Dude got some big *** *******

I think they just suck more than anything.

This is true but they aren't playing hard out there.

Word to Byron, Dlo need to man up

he's a complete non-factor yet again

It starts with DLo remember?....if this clown only COMPETED every night, maybe his teammates would respect him and follow his lead.

Instead he more worried about his curls and his hair and how it feels with his new headband during timeouts instead of being engaged with his teammates. LOL

There's some focus issues, but I think the effort is there.

They just can't buy a basket.

They just can't buy a basket.

They aren't hustling back, Clippers getting every 50/50 ball, just general laziness.

 

[purpnyellow]

Non factor against a great Pg this is where stars show out and show what they got

 

[whiplashtw03]

Effort is not there. Don't be silly with these excuses.

If the effort was there, we wouldn't be down by 20. 

Worthy just said literally right now, "It's about the lack of hustle, lack of getting the 50-50 balls...the TOUGH ATTITUDE in this game I just don't see it."

End of story.

Didn't see the first violation, but I was surprised to see Speights beat Tarik down the floor.

 

[whiplashtw03]

Seriously...no joke...Would you trade Russell for Noel and T.J. McConnell?

No

 

[pmatic]

Lol the offense would be even worse.

 

[essential1]

I thought we were trading Calderon for Noel.

 

[pmatic]

Puke benched Lou for BI, thankfully.

 

[purpnyellow]

No spacing seems like they are always in each other's way

 

[pmatic]

Lol the jump shots start falling and the game looks more competitive.

 

[essential1]

Seems like we should be running

Russell & Ingram together.

Deng doesn't have the ability to find Russell. And Lou doesn't have the ability to find Ingram.

And should at least be a wash defensively.

 

[whiplashtw03]

I thought we were trading Calderon for Noel.

Now it's DLo instead of Calderon because DLo don't want to compete so we need to ship him out

Pay very close attention to DLo's body language. Dude is not engaged in any way shape or form. Seems like Lillard got in his head lol

 

[pmatic]

Gotta finish the first time BI, but good to see drawing another foul.

 

[whiplashtw03]

Ingram WILL BE the star on this team. That's a guarantee

 

[pmatic]

Watching DeAndre dunk over and over again just gets me more mad about missing out on Whiteside.

 

[whiplashtw03]

Effort seems to have picked up in the 3rd quarter but we still down by 18.

Who's gonna help Young and Ingram on offense? 

 

[essential1]

Watching DeAndre dunk over and over again just gets me more mad about missing out on Whiteside.

I think everyone, including him, recognizes he probably made the wrong choice staying in Miami
