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

[pmatic]

Darvin Ham is funny.

 

[tupac003]

That's 100% possible. Gotta hope for the best.

 

[tupac003]

If we are being honest, it was a good shot.

Wide open 3. You gotta take that.

Would have been nice if maybe D.lo or wood were in that corner...

But hey. Is what it is...

 

[grittyman]

Some of these no calls against LeBron are insane

Why I don’t blame him at times for settling for the jumper… refs aren’t really rewarding him for being aggressive and teams get a free shot to knock you upside the head.

They’re 3-4. Found a way to be in every game. There’s some issues, but not end of the world issues.

Get Vando and Gabe back and the outlook changes a bit.
Have to remember they’ve lost 4 guys to an injury already this season.

Probably a 3&D at either forward spots away.

 

[ill 949]

reddish is fine as end of bench guy but never a closer if the goal is to be a championship contender. This experiment should’ve been over last week

Yes.

But to be fair like 60% of the team was unavailable.

 

[moonman818]

We shoulda won this game.

one last offensive possession I just don’t see why Cam is in the game

 

[noblekane]

probably cuz dangelo russell got his *** thrown out of the game early in the 4th quarter


for the season

reddish 2 for 13 from 3

christie 1 for 8 from 3

pick your poison

 

[Korofi]

We still need Hassan/Dwight and Kyrie

 

[pdino]

There was stretch with injuries last year and Lonnie Walker came in for us and was solid regular season contributor. Surprised we didn't go after him, he just went for minimum contract. LW > Prince, and Reddish?

 

[pmatic]

 

[tupac003]

Hopefully he plays tomorrow.

 

[pmatic]

 

[tupac003]

Well maybe if D.lo doesn't get himself tossed he could have been in the corner.

Time to move on to Wednesday

 

[darthska]

I was reaaaaalllyyy hoping Bron's last drive was going to end with a Wood 3 in the right corner.

Cam gotta make that, man. GOT to.

I miss Horry & Fox & Rice & Sasha & hell even JR Swish.

 

[darthska]

Actually I was REALLY hoping Bron hits for 2. He had quite a few successful drives in the 4th. We were only down 1.

 

[pmatic]

 

[Lizakers]

3-4 record and injuries already


I was hoping for a strong start to the season and winning 14 of the first 20. Doesn’t look like that’s gonna happen

The superstar plug always get pulled at some point. I remember when Kobe’s got pulled around 2011/2012.

Superstar calls are like if you breathe on Shai it's a foul... these are like pretty obvious calls that the refs are just swallowing their whistle.

 

[sohi 23]

Lebron has never got a real superstar whistle (imo)

I know the record isn’t ideal; but given the injuries, I’ve been happy about how the lakers are competing and I feel good about the rest of the season.

 

[grittyman]

Speaking of Lebron….

That’s what I meant, the whistle no longer comes as if it’s some random player, even with obvious contact.
