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

[atlsfinest]

For all the flack the guys missing shots can and should get, if you're the "GOAT" quit passing the bums the ball when they're building a brick house.

Do you expect him to drive the ball into the defense, one on five? Then we would start complaining about LeBron being selfish. The smart basketball play is to pass it to your wide open teammates. Danny Green and KCP were combined two for 13 with the majority of those looks being wide open. You have to hit your shots. It's that simple. AD can't go 8 for 24 and we can't shoot 15% from three.

 

[WAKKO!]

Someone needs to give Kcp Covid. Foh with your 1 Pt

I don’t know if you guys noticed but down the stretch LeBron drove, had DG wide open for a 3 in the corner, saw him, but gave it up to Caruso. If that doesn’t tell you how bad Danny Green has been playing....

I'm not saying go 1 on 5 obviously. I'm sick of seeing Bron get into the paint and being afraid to take the ball strong to the rim because he's scared of going to the line.

KCP and Danny both sucking

 

[atlsfinest]

Our answer to every question can't be "LeBron please save us!" He didn't play perfect but he played very well. Someone else needs to step up.

Re watching the last 6 minutes myself.

Lebron very passive in the last 6. Believe he only had 3 total shot attempts in 6 min. 1 being that tip in.

Bro these dudes are WIDE OPEN & Portland has 3 legit 7 footers. There's no reason we should be shooting 5-32 from 3.

 

[atlsfinest]

The name on Danny's jersey is a running joke now. He needs to change it

 

[DLF]

I have a very simple solution.
Lock green and Kcp in a room and release some very hungry dogs into the room.
Problem solved

[cruzair13]

Lebron gotta be heated, it's either he'll motivate or tear some of the teammates to pieces.

Cancel the podcast DG, and KCP read our hate tweets again (two men rob 15M from Lakers)

Dwight just needs to stop using his arms though haha

 

[tupac003]

I need a shot...

All I know is we can't start slow again.

KCP and DG should never be on the floor together.

Hopefully we don't foul as much as we did.

And sweet baby Jesus we need to go at least 35% from 3. At least.

 

[drewsone]

Can’t always be if you the goat x y z man
Jordan’s team mates hit shots
Bean’s did too

these mofos can’t be going 5/32 thats unacceptable

danny green getting 15 mill to do what? Have a mowhawk and role play as Lionel Richie?

 

[thasoleful1]

Vogels gotta put McGee, DG, and KCP on a shorter leash. He leaving them in there way too long.

I want to say we need to stay away from the 3 but in today’s game we can’t. It’s not just now, we haven’t been good from 3 all season.

This. That’s all it takes in today’s game

30-35% bruh

they shot 15! Played shell zone and wanted them to shoot lol i

 

[atlsfinest]

I would like to say that today's game was an anomaly and won't happen again but I can totally see us shooting like this on Thursday. If you take out LeBron, we shot under 33% as a team

 

[D_eezus]

MAKE AD PLAY THE 5 AGAIN

 

[IslandBornRedNose]

Why isn’t Waiters getting more minutes ?

 

[drewsone]

Why isn’t Waiters getting more minutes ?

Because Vogel is a beach

 

[D_eezus]

Why isn’t Waiters getting more minutes ?

Same reason he pulled KUZ & AC.....

 

[baik]

dion doesn't get minutes because he gets lost on defense...Lakers heavily rely on rotations and he usually is late to make his and leads to open lay ups/open threes. But I also have no faith in KCP to hold Dame to anything under 35 points AND he aint hitting WIDE OPEN SHOTS.... get this man on the bench ASAP
and Dame hits that long shot when they sub in KCP

the bright side is Lakers played like trash and blazers barely won....but Lakers been playing like this since the restart. PLEASE HIT YOUR WIDE @#$!@# OPEN SHOTS.

 

[alfa]

Tough to watch the game tonight with our offensive woes and overall choppy play. Hoping that it was a tune up game and we bounce back next game.

Those Dame deep 3s though... Damn, tough when he’s doing it to your squad

 

[Lizakers]

I don't think it was a choice...lol

please. He resigned with OKC because he knew LeBron was about to be a Laker, it was the worst kept secret.

if we made PG a priority we’d get Kawhi too. And would’ve kept the young core or traded them for assets/role players

Doc and Jerry had that vision, but we wanted the big shiny name for business reasons despite him being in Year 16 and slowing down.

revisionist history, but just look how guys like PG and Dame take over games while LeBron is bricking FTs and threes and passing to scrubs. He’s old !
