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

[Lizakers]

Don’t forget ‘91 vs The Bulls

worthy and byron missed the elimination game, right?

 

[MajinZuub]

I don’t feel one ounce of pity, sadness or shame for beating an injured team

1989 Magic and Byron
2004 Malone
2008 Bynum and Ariza

Nothing is going to take away from me enjoying this one

 

[DLF]

Luckiest title ever

First Ariza the LeBron stopper opts out. Then
lillard gets hurt in a deciding game 4 with blazers up 15 only to lose after.
then Houston has us where they want us then House gets falsely targeted for covid protocol violation and they were without him. He was averaging career highs in points and rebounds in that series at 19 and 11. Then Murray gets a knee to the thigh by the king. Done on purpose likely. Now Dragic and bam get hurt when they had all the momentum in that game up 13

Was Murray’s injury his LeHand moment? Oh look at me I’m hurt that’s why I lost....

Bams out. I fully expect their bench to play hard. Lakers gotta make sure they don’t get too confident.

 

[frink85]

whos giving Dwight Howard a 6-figure shoe deal in 2020?

 

[sohi 23]

Leonard and Nunn started for the majority of the year.
bam loss is a back breaker though

 

[drewsone]

I suspect the boys come out flat footed af lol

Win by 1, or 75, don't care.

Just give me #17.

Big time trap game tonight. Please don’t let us down lakers. Please.

Plenty of players are on very small (by nba standards) shoe deals. Even random guys like Caruso end up with like 50k a year shoe deals to wear a particular brand.

Luckily Florida is a great state that believes in law and order so guns are legal. I do hope they come out shooting freely

With Bam out, Dwight will get some quality minutes vs Olynyk. Olynyk isn't as fast as bam.

Can't let them get anything going.

We know the 3 point shooting won't be what it was in game one. We have to play our game.

Our defense vs the 3 is going to be key tonight.

Jimmy may try to win this game on his own which may play into out hands.

Jimmy isn't that good offensively
He's tries to bully bucket his way into his spots like Kawhi lol just gotta be disciplined and the Lakers have better more physical defenders than he's had to deal with so far imo
Jimmy be selling for long streches of the game too

[reconic supreme]

Yeah, if we force JImmy to go hero-ball heat are screwed. His best strength is playing within the game and getting his team involved.

A knee to the throat will also suffice
