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

[aepps20]

AD playing like he was thinking more about the FMVP than getting another win.

 

[aepps20]

Why is JR even out there?

Why is JR even out there?

To make a 3

 

[$tatus $ymbol]

The butler hype

 

[DLF]

what in gods name was JR doing on that last 3 lol


just take a normal shot man

 

[tupac003]

Wow....

We have done NOTHING that has worked in the previous games. We are literally giving them confidence.

Vogel better figure this out...

 

[aepps20]

AD needs to play significantly better in the second half but I'll take a 4 point deficit.

 

[aepps20]

1. AD is playing awful.
2. Too many Turnovers.
3. Losing points in the paint battle.
4. 0 sense of urgency.

 

[tupac003]

If they don't fix this....smh

 

[DLF]

AD not being able to play is huge bc now Miami can just treat Lebron like Giannis. Quadruple team him in the key and double in perimeter. Guys gotta shoot with confidence and not do too much (JR and DG)

 

[thasoleful1]

No ones gonna play defense on Butler or what

 

[DLF]

Wow....

We have done NOTHING that has worked in the previous games. We are literally giving them confidence.

eh i'm not there yet...AD refusing to take jumpers over guys he's 5 inches taller than has a lot to do with it. DG also is scared to shoot which I dont think will change this series. Lets win today so we dont take the chance of watching our "shooters" go cold while they get hot...thats a recipe for disaster

Lebron HAS to guard him in second half. IF AD wasnt in foul trouble you can put AD and Lebron on him and sprinkle in Morris. Butler is not fast. as long as you dont fall for his pump fakes, he should be an easy cover

 

[aepps20]

They have to stop sending them to the free throw line and they need to finish their defense. How many times does Butler miss the first drive but then gets his own rebound?

 

[DLF]

1) Put Lebron on Butler.
2) AD has to shoot. Make or miss. Shoot your pretty jumpers. They are demoralizing.
3) Continue with the D. Only 58 given up isnt terrible but lets bring it to sub 50 (once Lebron guards Butler)
4) Role players have to be willing to shoot. If open, SHOOT. No hesitation.
5) Grab an offensive rebound or two for the love of god

 

[DLF]

Lebron gets the deflection and who is there to kick it out? DG

 

[aepps20]

Just PATHETIC

 

[aepps20]

AD IS PLAYING SOFT

 

[DLF]

Heat gonna win by 10+ down 2 of their 3 best players. Gonna end up outrebounding us.

 

[frink85]

 

[aepps20]

These guys don't deserve to win anything

 

[fearless]

this is over, next one . Danny Green is fking trash

 

[frink85]

terrible. shut it down and regroup for tuesday. no effort, stupid play. give THT and Javale some burn.

 

[DLF]

Herro and Robinson are now going this series. Butler is unstoppable bc we have nobody that can defend him.

Zone has worked for the most part....

Series is far from over. Shame on us if this goes beyond 5 games. Shame.

 

[cruzair13]

Stop shooting 3s
