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

[moonman818]

I know you mad, but Ham ain't the reason we ain't great.

He’s definitely one of the reasons.

You not watching the games if you don’t think so

 

[CP1708]

Vando bein hurt this year has really cost us.

Our "best 5" + Rui hasn't barely played even a handful of minutes together this season.

And the help brought in reads:
Prince
Cam
Vincent
Wood
Jax
1st round pick g leaguer

And folks blame DARVIN HAM for this?

I just watched Scottie Pippen Jr go offfffffff vs us. Didn't we have dude?
Malik Monk, ain't we have him?
Alex Caruso.
GP2.
Michael Beasley Top 3 3 point shooter this year, wasn't he with us?
KCP still ballin.
Kuzma.

We gave up like half this list for Russ.

And y'all go for Ham's throat daily.

Oh well, next coach will surely do better.......with even older Bron/AD.

Come on brother, Rui wasn't getting sub 20 from Nov on.

He was only sub 20 like 4 games in Oct. (Which is completely understandable).

I know you mad, but Ham ain't the reason we ain't great.

Rui had five games of less than 20 MPG and two games exactly at 21 MPG in December.

In the opening weeks of the season, he had five games of 20 or less MPG. Two were against the Kings, which is understandable because that's a tough matchup (the other three were against the Nuggets and Suns).

 

[CP1708]

He’s definitely one of the reasons.

You not watching the games if you don’t think so

So are Bron and AD.
So are DLo and Reaves.
So is Vando.
And Prince/Cam/Wood/Dumwiddie/DumJax
And our "1st round pick"
Gabe Nunn

Etc etc etc.

 

[CP1708]

Rui had five games of less than 20 MPG and two games exactly at 21 MPG in December.

He was hurt, remember? He missed a couple games. One of those is your under 20.

 

[pmatic]

Team is substantially better with Rui as a starter. But I'm committed to this coaching doesn't matter bit so I have to double down and avoid admitting I'm wrong at all costs

Ham finally starting Rui in February read like "HERE, DAMN" for everyone to get off his back.

Mr. CP Chris Paul ain’t ever won a title after 1708 attempts….

whatever you are smoking on this Sunday morning my friend…

 

[pmatic]

He was hurt, remember? He missed a couple games. One of those is your under 20.

He missed like 10 days then played 21 twice before the IST Final (played nine vs the Pacers) to start December.

Magic broadcast just showed a graphic that the Lakers are 36-1 when leading after the third. They should do that more often.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

The Lakers playoffs start today.

Win and get the 8th seed. Lose and fall to 10th and have to win two games to get in the tournament.

Today’s key word is: Preparation

NO has been scorching hot from deep as of late. That’s a hint, Mr. Ham.

We’re about to see if Darvin knows what the word means

 

[Lizakers]

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

But but but…..

Max’s PT ain’t on Darvin Ham

 

[darthska]

Go Jazz!
Go Blazers!
Go Lakers!

(Right?)

 

[Dhizzle]

So who’s gonna bang up with BI and wear that knee down today?

 

[lovehateself]

Save us …?

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Go Jazz!
Go Blazers!
Go Lakers!

(Right?)

It doesn’t matter what happens with the other teams as long as the Lakers win they lock up #8.

They literally control their own destiny.

And if Ham can’t prepare his team to come out on top against the Pelicans….

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

So who’s gonna bang up with BI and wear that knee down today?

Apparently Vando is the “savior”

 

[darthska]

Save us …?

Hayes & Vando & Gabriel!

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Pelicans have Valanciunas, Nance, Zion, Ingram, and Zeller. That’s a whole lotta size and length right there. One would think this is the type of game the Lakers should utilize 2-Big lineups such as AD-Hayes-Bron or AD-Hayes-Rui in order to match up and take advantage of their length and strength…..

But instead I fully expect Ham to go small and use 3-guard + Prince/Hayes type lineups all game long when AD is resting LOL

 

[darthska]

Bruh nobody cares about a cotdamb Bull or Knickerbocker.

 

[CP1708]

 

[pmatic]

We're getting the Suns in the 7-8 game on Tuesday.

 

[darthska]

We're getting the Suns in the 7-8 game on Tuesday.

NGL, I feel good about that.
Straight up: we're better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[pmatic]

D'Lo playing with heart/balls and competing out there.
