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

[darthska]

... and goofies are still going "Dog IT'S LEBRON!"
Eventually he won't be here. Do we trade him for a massive haul in a couple weeks? Does he retire from the Lakers in 6 more years?
Eventually, he won't be here; T H E Y will be.

This is wild. It says so much about this roster. Wow

 

[ALNotSure]

Keep AD trade Lebron. He’s been a cancer to this team and his son getting drafted is the final straw. They blamed Ham now they already blaming JJ. Why do you think no coach wants to coach here? Lebron.

At what part do people wake up and realize Lebron is a giant problem. He’s not respected, not liked, doesn’t play defense, pads stats but people fear his impact and Klutch on their careers.

In 7 years Lakers got half a chip, one season not in the playoffs .and one 50 win season: Lebron has played maybe 60% of his games but gets paid full time.

At least Lakers selling jerseys lol…

Wait a minute…

So the team is going to bench a more talented offensive player because the lesser talented guy competes harder defensively? Even though this player was one of the starters on a team that went 23-10 over the second half of the season?

Lmao.

 

[pmatic]

They need to stop switching everything.

 

[Lizakers]

Take pride in some good ol man to man defense.

 

[essential1]

They'd ironically probably be better team at man to man defense. Because they switch on everything that they are always out of position because no basketball team would switch like this. It's unnatural.

 

[essential1]

LeBron loafing around, (Yes I know,) But his lack of even remotely give a **** is Venom Symbiote of killing everybody else.
Bron walking up and down the court

 

[pmatic]

Traroe thirsty for buckets.

 

[essential1]

Gabe doesn't even provide resistance on defense.

New boss, same as the old boss.

He's picking up.

BUT still needs to be a bit faster into the offense, and get back on defense.

 

[pmatic]

Stop. The. Switching.

 

[essential1]

Stop. The. Switching.

You can see in real time once every minute or two they give up an easy look because they are supposed to switch (according to the scheme JJ has) but the players know based on just general basketball IQ it shouldn't be a switch, and they miscommunicate the switch and one guy commits, and the other doesn't leading to an overall collapse of the defense.

 

[pmatic]

Gotta give kudos to the effort and physicality that Max, Gabe and Cam have brought tonight.

 

[pmatic]

Still going too early at the end of quarters. SMH.

 

[MVP]

Eh, the 21 roster was better than the 20 roster.

 

[pmatic]

Bron finally made that stupid one legged three.

 

[pmatic]

Gotta put a shock collar on AD for attempting to get the ball when he has no shot. Just did it and compromised the entire defense leading to a Hunter three.

 

[pmatic]

Cam plays and carries himself like he hates basketball.

 

[essential1]

Stu took 3 guesses of who shot that 3.

THAT'S RUI.... THAT'S GAAAAAA. THAT'S CAM


All 3 guys look nothing alike by any measure

 

[essential1]

Cam plays and carries himself like he hates basketball.

Would explain a whole hell of a lot honestly.

 

[essential1]

Refs done missed like 4-5 calls that led to the Bron alley.

 

[essential1]

Bron misses.. Takes his time to even cross half court. Wide open 3.

At some point, you have to make notice of this. It's not like it's once every 5-6 games. It's 4-5 times every game

 

[grittyman]

Can’t watch live, gotta love Fri night HS hoops

Anyhow just checking the score on my phone, we might actually win this one lol

Zero expectations
