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

[drewsone]

I would go DS(or AC)/KCP/Bron/Kuz/Gasol tbh lol

but to stagger DS/Trezz off the bench might be more helpful. Maybe start Wes and slide Bron to the 4

That social media stuff is so corny. Maybe I’m just old as hell. And to be fair, it’s not just Schroeder so no need to single him out.

But editing your bio to remove anything related to your team during the playoffs right before an elimination game, knowing that the sports media will make a story out of it , unfollowing your teammates because you’re mad at the organization like other players have. It’s just clown behavior and reflective of a social media generation which lacks transparency and communication skills at times. If he’s pissed at the team for whatever reason, it happens. But address that stuff behind closed doors.

I’m sure older players and those from prior generations would’ve partook in similar shenanigans if social media was around in their days though.

ITS PUT UP OR SHUT UP TIME BOYZ

Guess that guy is cool with Dudley.
Kcp will play. Gasol starting.

waited this long to start gasol after we knew early on drummond wasn’t working.

Also think he may have been trying to save this as an ace in his pocket for later rounds


ALSO AD NEEDS TO STAY UP RIGHT TONIGHT NONE OF THAT FLAILING AROUND

 

[drewsone]

man if he's hurt and he gonna be out there laboring bruh idk lol

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

The groin game

 

[drewsone]

Best case scenario, they build a big lead early and it’s out of reach by halftime to where his minutes can be minimized.

Realistic scenario, we’re on pins and needles tonight. Frustrating though because that second round is very winnable regardless if it’s Denver or Portland.

Im not really expecting for AD to do too much. We need him more on defense. Lebron needs to *** take over man .. kcp make a damn shot!!

 

[pmatic]

AD just gonna stand in the corner and space the floor for Bron and Schroder.

 

[thasoleful1]

We gonna need energy, Suns brought it we gotta match it and make a statement

 

[pmatic]

Assuming AD/KCP can somewhat play normal minutes, and Caruso/Kuz/Wes remain part of rotation. Do you go Trezz or Drummond?

 

[tupac003]

Said I wasn't gonna crack it until the finals but eff it.

No matter what they can't take the 2020 Chip from us and I can still celebrate it now.

 

[trynafeelmink]

I really hope the Lakers aren't forcing this man, that's a lot of leg injuries in a short span

 

[pmatic]

If a star wants to play, he'll play.

Rather Trezz to be real.

 

[atlsfinest]

I don't get why we start games with suboptimal lineups and then only move to more ideal lineups when our backs are against the wall. Why not just start out with the most effective five-man group?



We've known that the starting lineup with Gasol is our best grouping for a long time.

I think back to last year's Finals, why wait until game six to start AD at the 5? We knew that was our best line of the whole year, why wait until the end to utilize it?

 

[tupac003]

Really trying to figure out why they want to start Gasol now...

Like why not try that sooner...

 

[noblekane]

Lol @ the social media bio speculation

y’all need to hit the nail shop with all that gossip

 

[noblekane]

everything seemed legit until i saw kuz in the starting line up

 

[noblekane]

thank you shotsrangout

 

[MVP]

Just got this in, hopefully it's a good omen for tonight and AD somehow is able to beast.
