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

[thasoleful1]

Can’t believe we pulled that one off, heat played equally as bad

 

[DLF]

Russ is 13 for 73 on go ahead shots with under 24 seconds left.

dead serious. 17%

No one expects him to be the end of game option when the team is at full strength.

 

[tupac003]

Lakers win!

 

[sohi 23]

Monk

Yo we got shooters
Defense looking better

 

[moonman818]

We have very very different definition of fun game

You need to smoke a blunt or take some cbd pills or something bro

 

[CP1708]

Bron and AD are Bron and AD.

Russ will have his triple doubles and endless energy for 100+ games.

Melo, Monk, Ellington, Bradley, giving us spacing.

Playoff Rondo

And hopefully Nunn/THT/Ariza just give us more options as needed.

Dwight/Reaves/Baze with defensive help and occasional offensive help.

And that's our whole roster, I'm not forgetting anybody.

Just be healthy in April.

I’m curious how that play was drawn up

melo should set a screen for Westbrook…but tucker will just go under it but at least this would give Westbrook a more open look

My fun game:

lakers up by 30 from wire to wire. Stress free. Lol

to be fair I didn’t watch this game. I turned it on when Russ took the last second 3. Lol.

 

[DLF]

This lakers team got one of the highest IQs

Russ leading the way. 3 OT wins this season. #clutch

 

[trynafeelmink]

Team has quite literally missed half of its rotation, is missing LEBRON & is 7-5. I will take it. I thought this team would be a top 3 seed at best due to inevitable injuries/time off. that's still attainable depending on just how much time Bron misses.

The offensive flashes are there, it's not an anomaly anymore, the Lakers actually have shooting . No "Sniper" but a ton of guys who can make the open threes the big 3 generates. The defense is the "problem" but again health is a big factor in that. THT, Nunn, Ariza are at the very least passable defenders in Vogel's system.

It's early on, but so far the issue of AD/Bron have a dominate game or we lose has been eased a lot.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Obviously the percentage will drop a little bit but he's gonna get these shots every time he's on the floor. Him, Ellington, Monk, Reaves should get great looks this entire year.

 

[pmatic]

Lakers about to fire another athletic trainer.

 

[tupac003]

Damn two weeks!?!

 

[pmatic]

Gotta be cautious with hamstring injuries because they can be re-injured so easily.

 

[lovehateself]

THT just got cleared too, mans need to get out there asap

vogel may need to throw sekou out there

 

[trynafeelmink]

This is wild man smh

 

[thasoleful1]

Sekou time!

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Just wanted to say Monk is what you would call a certified SHOT MAKER.

I like him being aggressive and seeking the rim, can stroke it way better than THT.

Talen on high alert

 

[DLF]

Ain’t trippin off Reaves being out. Like Caruso, he isn’t that important.

As long as Russ is healthy we good.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Good thing there's 8 guards on the roster

 

[grittyman]

Yes I know the schedule has been weak, but the Lakers are 3-3 without Lebron... including tricking off the two OKC games.

Glass half full they should be easily be 5 and 1 without him, so I'll take that.
