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

[Dhizzle]

Thank you SUNS!!!

 

[Lizakers]

8th place baby!!! Extend Ham asap

 

[pmatic]

Sunday vs the Pelicans. Their third game in four days, will be trying to integrate Ingram back into the fold. Pls.

 

[MVP]

One game for the rest of your lives...

 

[Maximus Meridius]

If these fools ain't fall asleep after the IST

"🗣 COACH!!!"

You exactly right, check this out:


Peep the date, this was in November LMAO

You would think with Bron and AD combining for 80 and doing their normal damage that COACH Darvin would have his role players ready to rock in a must win game against a bottom feeder. Instead Rui says team wasn't focused and was messing around LOL

WHATS THAT SAY ABOUT YOUR LEADER IN THE LOCKER ROOM

The fact they was messing around could even suggest they don't respect their coach. That ever cross your mind?

 

[okevonz]

don't we have one more game? what happen if we lose and both kings and warriors win? what is the tie breaker?

We're 10

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

They’re going to end up being 7th seed and Denver going to mess around and end up 2nd

 

[Dhizzle]

Sabonis just twisted his ankle on that last play. Kings may lose again on sunday

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

If LAL somehow messes around and makes the playoffs it would be much better for them to face either MIN or DEN in the first round.

The earlier you get em the better your chances

 

[Dhizzle]

Or let Suns beat Denver and get rid of our kryptonite early

 

[Dhizzle]

Off topic but Edey projected to be #14. There goes our next big man Brosizzlew30.23

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Personally I ain't tryna avoid DEN.

Bron and AD should be salivating for a 7 game rematch

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

I told yall wed be 7th

 

[Dhizzle]

Bro i would feel better about a rematch if we had CWood and Vando. DEN got too many weapons and we aint got enough to guard them all

 

[Lizakers]

I don’t think we can beat both NO and Suns on the road. But we’ll see

 

[lovehateself]

 

[htg designs]

We own the pelicanz and we son the suns on the reg

That's exactly why I'm tryna face DEN. With LAL shorthanded it might make the Nuggets a lil too confident know what i mean. But bottom line to me is: To be the best you gotta beat the best. No shortcuts.

The 6 seed Rockets of Hakeem and Drexler battled injuries all year yet they ended up beating up on all the top teams in the West en route to their title.

But they also had Tomjanovich, Horry, Cassell, Smith, Elie, Brown, Thorpe, etc. This Laker coach and these Laker role players need the playoffs of their lives to win a title, even if they luck out and manage to avoid DEN. They still underdogs against MIN, DAL, SAC, LAC, BOS, MIL and probably even GSW so that's that.

 

[CP1708]

Can Vando please return?

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Can Vando please return?

I think the writings on the wall at this point...

 

[atlsfinest]

Does New Orleans have anything to play for on Sunday? I know they can't move up to 6th if they win but rmcan they fall to 7th if they lose? Hopefully they can just rest their starters and let us get the easy W

Suns and Pelicans are playing for the six seed, so expect the Pelicans to play all out on Sunday. Suns have tiebreaker though. Ingram is expected back too.

Can Vando please return?
