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

[Brosizzlew30.23]

We can probably find countless posts and articles where people were complaining about Javale being in the starting lineup.

You definitely can't and won't find any coming from me, that's for sure. That 2-Big starting lineup with McGee and AD, flanked by Bron, DGreen, and KCP is about as solid as it gets defensively while you let Bron and AD create all the opportunities offensively.

There's a reason Javale and/or Dwight started next to AD damn near all the games during the '19-'20 season. And it led to a title.

Lakers been experimenting and tinkering with that formula ever since and it has resulted in ZERO championships, ZERO Finals appearances, and a hundred thousand migraine headaches watching this team get bullied by other teams the majority of the time.

Ham trying to get fired.

The defensive lineup is not playing defense so far.

 

[essential1]

bright side, the Hornets have the basketball chemistry of a college frat Rec league team.

 

[pmatic]

They're still gonna win, but lol.

 

[noblekane]

[frink85]

Okay buddy

Teams come to Staples and turn in vintage Warriors teams.

6/8 from 3 for the Hornets.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

He's injured again (surprise), but Gordon Hayward has been the type of wing they've been needing for years now. Add to that he was actually playing well this season, until he recently got hurt again.

I thought he wouldn't get bought out at the rate he was going, but now he's out at least two weeks before reevaluation. Who knows if they can't find a trade for him....


Don't think they move Miles either.

 

[noblekane]

why does he keep playing reaves and russell together?

is there some sort of analytical stat that ham reads that says playing both reaves and russell together even off the bench is a plus?

 

[essential1]

The second unit has been generating some really good looks. Just gotta hit them.

Prince had 1
Bron had 1
AD had a midrange 1
DLo had 1
Rui had 1

 

[essential1]

Cody Martin had a 1st quarter.

 

[essential1]

Wait how many minutes has this lineup to start the 2nd had?

 

[pmatic]

Vando giving it to Wood on a fast break went as well as you think it would go.

 

[tupac003]

Another bad Challenge

 

[lovehateself]

This lineup
Yuck

 

[essential1]

Oh my god. Vando made a layup.

 

[lovehateself]

AD !!

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

If Lakers lose to the lowly Hornets tonight, Ham can say bye bye

 

[pmatic]

Another uninispring half.

Thank God for AD.

 

[Dhizzle]

This team just aint it. Coach and everyone but AD Bron and AR gotta go

 

[tupac003]

I don't know who needs to lose minutes but Max has to play more.

Wood decent out there and D.lo finally looked better tonight.

 

[frink85]

if AR would've had the space to get up and dunk that...

 

[tupac003]

JHS hit a jumper...
