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

[goldmember]

I think that was there only chance to get AD. He aint coming here to play with a 35 year old bron.

 

[DLF]

If Luke was coaching the all star team he’d be so confused with rotations.

 

[had pants]

 

[DLF]

If kyrie and kd do team up and we end up with nobody

It’s gonna burn knowing that if we struck out with Bron and kept our max spots open for 2019 instead we probably coulda gotten both of them PLUS kept our youth

 

[drewsone]

"coulda" is saying a lot tho lol

especially with KD and Kyrie. they're unpredictable. no guarantee they would've came to Lakers w/ or w/out Bron lol

 

[mr j 858]

Blazer fans and other LAKER HATERS to this day still claim Game 7 2000 WCF was rigged

When Sheed & Pip said themselves Portland CHOKED and missed 13 straight shots in the 4th quarter and blew a 15 point lead.

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Wouldn't mind Cousins on a 2yr/40mil deal if we strike out on the others (likely)

Lebron loves Dmac.

 

[drewsone]

i would not sleep on a Bron/DMC tandem bro lol
DMC got lots of talent just has never been in a good environment lol

but he might stay in GSW

Randomly found game 7 LA Bos 2010. Man what a game. People rag on Kobe for that game shooting 6 for 24 but check the box score...it was a defensive battle. At least he was orchestrating offense. Grabbing boards.

Pau shot 6 for 16 missed half of his free throws. Team shot 33 percent from field lol

Ray Allen 3-14, PP 5-15.

I don't pay attention when people try discredit Kobe with that. Either didn't watch it or they just talking outta straight bias. That game ended in the low 80's, the whole series was a defensive struggle. Nobody shot good. Kobe was also great on defense that series.

I was actually at the game. I bought my tickets for games 6 and 7 right when the finals started. There was a reseller who I did business with that had season tickets.

He wanted to sell games 1 and 2 but I told him all I wanted was game six and 7. He sold me the pair for game 6 for 400 for the pair and then sold me game 7 for 600 for the pair.

Needless to say he regretted that as people were selling 1 ticket for 1K. Guys next to me and my boy paid 1200 a piece for the pair.

Probably the greatest game I have been too besides game 5 of the Lakers Suns when Kobe hit the game winner...

Maybe one day we will make the finals again...

Remember how Gasol redeemed himself during that series. In 08 the media called him soft playing against the Celtics. Great memories

if the lakers can get kyrie he will

 

[IslandBornRedNose]

damn i miss that team...

 

[D_eezus]

I miss Kobe/Gasol :/

 

[IslandBornRedNose]

i do too.... D-Fish as well. Almost named my first boy Derek because of this series. Wife was against it and i guess good thing too with all the Matt Barnes drama, lol

This means nothing to the die hards, you should know that based off all the people saying Kobe forced Shaq out. Even when Shaq said himself he knew it was a business decision that he was aging and Buss said I am going to have to let you know. You only believe what you want when it supports your argument.

 

[UsualSuspects]

damn i miss that team...

Man it was extra tough was messing with a girl down from Boston, diehard Celtic fan. We were hanging out at Dave & Busters when Celtics went up. I had to change the venue or else date would not have ended well.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Don't even feel like watching this team the rest of year.

And took Zo with him
