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


Killer sequence.

Lebron steal, dunk. Joker somehow beats AD down the floor... not sure if a flop attempt or lob to Gordon who has AR defending him near the basket... Rui in no man's land, AD never really got back in the play...not sure what DLo is doing in this sequence either.

AD - "Sometimes we don't know what we're doing out there" ... he ain't never lied.

Well we lost a 15 point halftime lead and a 20 point third quarter lead that led to the stars taking over in the end.

Like Darvin said “I have to look at the tape”. :lol:

Newsflash. NBA teams go on runs... a 20 point lead is really nothing in today's era.

Lakers had to go on one to get the 20 point lead. Lemme guess, so that means that they were out-adjusting and out-executing the Nuggets during that stretch right?

Come on man. Horry and AD basically skewered the coach tonight. They know more than us. Ham has to take some of the blame. His gameplan is on display and we lost 10 straight to this team. We can’t figure them out with 2 top 10 players and the goat

We know you know the dealio big dog. And we sure as hell know Horry and Big Game got more knowledge and nba wisdom than all our years combined.

But some folks just aint ever gonna get it.

It's called denial. Some of them might even have a mental illness but we ain't bout to judge cause we got class :lol:

Didn’t watch them tonight so don’t know what they said… if I had to guess it was probably AD had it going in the post why not go back to him? And the reason why that’s my guess is because that’s what they always say.

Not sure what your argument is but mine is simply the Nuggets are winning because they have the best player in the game today. What ever else argument you want to make about adjustments or rotations, etc go right ahead but imo it’s just nitpicking… I thought the Lakers played one hell of a game overall but it just wasn’t good enough, because Joker was too good…end of story.
 
I’m still scratching my head why he did not try to challenge that marginal foul on Murray. What do you have to lose at that point? Lose your challenge, ok **** it. You get to regroup the guys and still have 1 timeout left if **** hits the fan.


Last time I was heated about a game that meant something was probably game 4 vs Celtics in 08 😂

Recap, you were mentioning this was a Top 10 duo and breaking them up is lunacy.

I countered that we should have already done it, much less run it again next year.

2021 Playin team
2022 Missed playoffs
2023 Playin team
2024 Playin team

This power duo been so dominant that the last FOUR YEARS we've been a playin team. Not a 1 seed, or 2-3-4-5-6, but playin. (Or missed altogether during the Russ year).

Now they are even older and cost even more money.
This year Bron/AD = 87 mil.
Next year Bron/AD = 95 mil.

Age 40, and 32.

Ages 39/31, 38/30, 37/29, and 36/28 bested out at playin team. (When they were even cheaper, mind you)

Do you know what the definition of NBA insanity is? Trying to build around the same aging duo 5 years in a row expecting different results.

If Bron/AD were 32/24, I'd run that **** back without so much as a whimper.

95 mil, age 40/32?

FYI, Jokic/Murray 87 mil next year. Ages 30/28.

Oh, and Bron/AD gonna play in the Olympics this summer, rather than rest.

So next year we need them to survive another 6 month regular season + 3 month postseason. Older, and more expensive than the last 4 years.....where they were not enough.

And if they trade for Trae Young....... :frown:
 
Folks still goin in on coach........ :lol:

Let's break this down.

Bron
AD
DLo
Reaves

They fight, they try, they battle, they gut. (Even when they struggle)

Rui has been M.I.A.
Prince is "unplayable" (y'all's words)
Vando out
Cam out
Wood out
Vincent 0 points in two games.
Dimwittie 0 points in two games.
Jax 0 points in two games.
Max Christie is who they callin for now. :lol:
1st round pick bust

If Rui isn't helping, and he's literally down to FOUR playable, rotational pieces, on the road, vs the defending Champs.......

Twitter is killing Ham for not playing Prince more........the guy y'all said not to play. :lol:
 
Great shot. Just sucks it didn’t go it. Have to live with that. If he made it Twitter would be a different story right now “Goat this, Goat That”

“Baaaah baaaah” from the locker room
 
It bears repeating….especially when film in the playoffs becomes all the more important as it pertains to game by game adjustments….

Jump Ball sets and strategies 👍🏽😂
