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

[Lizakers]

Orlando deserved this win
Oh well
On to the next

 

[frink85]

Cook should’ve shot it as soon as he got it from Bron he didn’t even think of anything but passing it back

 

[D StaXX]

Where was Kuz tonight? He provided absolutely nothing.

 

[drewsone]

lebron with the anti-clutch last 3 mins. javale should not have been out there (of course with AD out we dont have many choices). This is where kuzma being inconsistent KILLS us.

might be better we lose this one before our big road trip. Will much rather have W's against rockets celtics and 76ers coming up. being on a long winning streak can be tough mentally. get the loss out of the way and start a new one.

i feel like dwight would have been better closing no? maybe he but Javale in cuz Javale is more consistent at the rim finishing

but yeah i agree with the streak being taxing. can refresh and reload for the big games coming up
Bron looked super washed tho so idk he better go take a quick flight to miami and get some HGH

 

[sgamon]

tbh it was even before that
he didn't really have it from the jump lol

100% on him
100% indefensible
had a day of rest so idk lol looked extra washed

im with yall on this one lol

Especially when he missed that dunk he looked super washed. Kcp missing a wide open dunk too. I knew at that moment those two dunks would be the difference in such a close game

 

[cruzair13]

I only caught last two minutes but Vogel went with the hot hands but asthmatic javale giving up easy buckets open shots and that dumb foul on Gordon..

 

[CP1708]

No AD, no Rondo, Caruso hurt, 2 missed dunks, Javale in crunch time, and Magic shoot 30 free throws to our 11.

Lose by 1.

33-8 at the halfway point.

3rd game we gave away. Indy, Christmas, tonight.

 

[DLF]

hopefully this gets cook going and gets him some minutes. I actually missed Rondo tonight in the fourth. we were lost out there with Gordon shutting down Lebrons first step. Still liked how we fought back in a game we and most teams lose by 10+ points...

 

[drewsone]

Especially when he missed that dunk he looked super washed. Kcp missing a wide open dunk too. I knew at that moment those two dunks would be the difference in such a close game

yup. sucks. cuz the bench balled out too
so i guesss in one way you can see that maybe a cook can turn a game in a playoff game or 2?

aint seen Bron look this washed since LAC.. but he looked really good against DAL so idk lol
i think AG really bugged him. young and athletic and not really scared of him lol

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Cook and Daniels did what they needed to do to keep this team in the game and pick up the slack offensively. Kudos to those 2.

Dudz did his thang. He always ready to play.

 

[nermindee]

We have the dumbest losses at home... can’t stand when Lebron plays like b*tch...
Javale’s asthma attacks are annoying as hell... boy was gasping for air and Vogel kept him in there smh

 

[leavemeglazzies]

The next person who says "I can't believe yall wanted to trade him" the next time Kyle Kuzma has a good game needs to get slapped. That is all.

 

[cruzair13]

Also

Dwight +14
Javale -15

But how come magic got more free throws we just settled for jumpers?

[MVP]

Javale looked like a baby deer down the stretch on defense. We didn't deserve to win tonight been playing with fire lately at home.

Hopefully AD gets back on this road trip.

 

[DLF]

i get javale is dumb with his play sometimes but Dwight has equal moments of stupid fouls....im not pinning this too much on him.

 

[MVP]

Kuz was garbage but ya boy was trash as well tonight.

 

[pmatic]

The last four Magic field goals were on Javale's watch.

I don't blame him too much for not being able to recover to Vuc at the three point line, but woof.

 

[drewsone]

kuz 2-10 lol
i saw a clip of danny green saying that they try to tell Kuz to slow down cuz they say he plays at 100 MPH lmao

but **** i'm so mad Bron was so ******* *** tonight

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

Fultz literally waltz into the basket.

Bad fouls
Botched dunks(2)
Lebron missed free throw down the stretch

 

[nermindee]

Alright alright... we all are pointing out the obvious idiots tonight... but why has Danny Green been getting a pass for while now? Dude quietly scapes criticism of you ask me... can’t remember the last time he really impacted a game

 

[DLF]

all around bad game by LA. wont win many games praying your 13th and 14th players on the depth chart make big shots down the stretch (although they were pretty amazing this game). When it was lebron time, he choked as bad as anyone can. Hope Collison was watching, we need him.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

The 4 other Laker teams that started 33-8 all won championships. *not a jinx*

 

[MVP]

One positive is that the guys that haven't been playing consistent minutes are ready to contribute when called upon. Team is deep.

 

[DLF]

been asking this question all year. he is made out of teflon. its like his 2 championship rings have formed a cloak around him that prevents ANYONE from mentioning his disappearance down stretches of the game...and/or vogels reluctance to play him. hes the 3rd highest player on the team but basically is the 8th most important player. honestly if he didnt play at all, we probably wouldnt even notice
