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

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Go for a quick 2 here. Do not shoot a three

There’s 40 sec left. It’s a two for one scenario

 

[CHAOSE57]

Can someone tell me why Vincent is in? They're going at him easy

 

[pmatic]

AD got clearly fouled smh.

 

[sohi 23]

Can someone tell me why Vincent is in? They're going at him easy

Because the other option is Dlo

 

[sohi 23]

Ad got fouled by multiple people on that play how did they not see that

 

[sohi 23]

Still got a chance. Can’t be too mad.

Let’s see what we got JJ. Normally I’d say draw it up for Knecht but he’s been off today

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

Refs cheating, cant handle Lakers winning too easy.

 

[CHAOSE57]

Oh well, cant win em all.

 

[sohi 23]

That was dope man we played well.

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

LOL I like JJ thinking outside the box.

 

[pmatic]

Can't win them all, but the team being in the game with Bron playing like dog**** says something.

 

[nike4kja05]

Bench was terrible today. Gabe can’t hit a 3 for **** and Max gotta stop hesitating on the open catch and shoot. Bro goes straight to the basket and gets blocked every time.

 

[grittyman]

Can't win them all, but the team Max Christie being in the game with Bron playing like dog**** says something.

Jk man.

Kinda, sorta.

I am encouraged by Rui’s rebounding though

 

[sohi 23]

Y’all laughed at me suggesting a Dlo trade after game 2 but I’m so fr. We’ve seen how that movie plays out too many times.

Dlo gets hunted on defense and can’t bring enough on offense to play for the final 5 minutes against great teams.

 

[CHAOSE57]

We need a consistent scoring option outside of Reaves, AD and Bron. Rui is too low iq sometimes, Christie is an instant turnover once he puts the ball down, DLo I will never trust, and Gabe idk.

 

[sohi 23]

I feel like Christie is basically a rookie. He might be “good” with more experience, but for now he is just an idea or hope.

 

[pmatic]

This would've been a good Vando game. Needed another 6'7 guy out there, especially when the Suns went super small.

Big fax. Tbh if Christie isn’t gunna give you anything offensively, you might as well give his minutes to Vando and play Knecht more

Because it was dumb then and dumb now.

There isn’t a guy to trade him for that makes the team better.

LeBron shot 3/14.
Bench played 66 minutes had 8 points.

They lost by 4.

 

[Los Angeles]

Because the other option is Dlo

Imagine rewatching the tape and seeing how awful dlo is.

 

[sohi 23]

I thought Dlo played great in the first quarter and I also thought his effort was relatively high throughout the game.

Feel like his shot isn’t there rn tho.

 

[tupac003]

Just watched the tape and man....

A ton of bone head plays. Very winnable game.

Probably one of the worst games I have seen out of LBJ in a Lakers uniform.

Dah well. Got the loss out of the way.

 

[essential1]

Of the top 14 lineups, there’s 5 negative rating lineups

Gabe/ Max in for DLo/Bron -27.3 in 11min
Gabe in for DLo -20.6 in 9min
Gabe/Max/Hayes in for DLo/AR/Rui -66.4 in 8min
Gabe/Max/Hayes in for AR/Rui/AD -75.7 in 6min
Max in for Rui -53.3 in 4 min

Pretty clear problem.

3-1 so can’t be too mad. But the bench can’t be as bad as they are. And it’s mainly Gabe and Max because Hayes and Knecht in for AD & AR is the second most played lineup and it’s a +61.4 rating

 

[smedroc]

Trade everybody.
