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

[DLF]

Just all around ugly stupid play turnovers everywhere foul trouble no urgency. Like the worst possible game you can play. The bright side is that we “only” lost by 11. If Bam comes back I’m getting nervous.

I’m not

Olynk has been killer. He can shoot 3s. With bam in pick and roll he only has 1 move

 

[nermindee]

8 TO by lebron ok

 

[MVP]

I hope this finals MVP **** ain't real. AD can't not be aggressive for whatever reason, but they also didn't look to get him the ball any in the 4th.

 

[aepps20]

Look at the points in the paint difference. That more than makes up for turnovers and free throws.

 

[frink85]

Assuming AD doesn't crap the bed again Bam is a better defender, plus the emotional lift

 

[tupac003]

If we don't get back to ATTACKING the zone. Having Lebron at the free throw line, cutters...I mean it's basic on what we should be doing.

Turnover and bad defense killed us.

This is going one of two ways, this is AI game 1 of 2001 or this is the 2011 finals...

They gotta decide what they want to do.

 

[D_eezus]

Herro with the stupid Mean Mug and Jimmy saying “you’re in trouble.”

okay.

We’ve seen this every series...ask them how it’s worked out.

 

[aepps20]

Points in the paint was 34 to 52. That's unacceptable for a team that has size.

Completely went away from that
I guess chz AD foul trouble but damn man I didn’t see Bron or anyone at the FT line much

 

[cruzair13]

Yeah they were mentally winning and came out thinking they would layover.

Team gonna turn around on Tuesday. What. A terrible way to end a weekend

 

[CHAOSE57]

I know this loss stings and I’ll just sleep it out. We’ve been there with the game 1 blazers/rockets losses and Nuggets ‘waking up’ game. They played like crap but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt, they earned that atleast. Goodnight y’all.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Wasted a great shooting effort from Kieff smh

 

[IslandBornRedNose]

Butler can say that... he carried this team. Skylar Zerro kept us in the game with those bricks lol.

 

[frink85]

Plaschke trying to instigate asking Vogel about the guys leaving the floor early

 

[aepps20]

Shooting way too many threes. I hope they bounce back and guys play with a greater sense of urgency. The bench played well but AD can't play like this if they want to win.

I knew there was gonna be a game where Jimmy Played OUT OF HIS MIND. it happened tonight

 

[tupac003]

KCP and DG 1-11....

 

[drewsone]

Jimmy was screening Bron off with Herro and Duncan tho. I’m thinking Bron didn’t want to even have a chance of them having a wide open shot

hwlever his turnovers were unacceptable
AD came out and he did not play his game. Not looking to score then had TOS then fouls

 

[nermindee]

Tonight was so winnable even though they all were playing like crap... it’s not like the heat were shooting lights out, they were bricking as much as the lakers were

 

[pmatic]

Danny Green has the shortest of short ropes on Tuesday.

 

[aepps20]

They are getting baited into take too many threes instead of attacking the middle of the zone like game 1.

 

[frink85]

Points in the paint was 34 to 52. That's unacceptable for a team that has size.

Jimmy had most of those points driving it to the basket too. Poor interior defense.

 

[lacedemup]

Too many turnovers...and AD didn’t play aggressive enough even in foul trouble.

Lessons learned.

Onto game 4.

 

[MajinZuub]

Not worried, didn't expect a sweep. Bad game all around and didn't get blown out. Let's take the next one.
Have a feeling Bam might be back for that one.

 

[aepps20]

I agree but then when you factor in how many 3s the Lakers took you can see that they weren't attacking the zone and they weren't defending well
