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

[whiplashtw03]

Ingram badly needs to develop a mean streak. He's gonna be a good one, but the real superstars of the NBA have an intangible that separate them from the rest - killer instinct aka Mamba Mentality

 

[sohi 23]

Lou really just be standing around on defense

 

[pmatic]

I've never seen a player get back cut more than Lou on defense.

Harden ?

 

[pmatic]

Certainly up there.

The early benching seems to have settled BI down.

 

[sohi 23]

It's good to see BI gain confidence and get more aggressive.

 

[pmatic]

Not even mad.

 

[sohi 23]

Wasn't expecting anything different.

This game is in the refrigerator. Door's closed, lights are out, the eggs are coolin',  the butter's gettin hard, and the jello is jigglin'

smh at them just rolling over with no fight

 

[pmatic]

So that's why Thomas Robinson has been on so many teams.

Robinson helping Durant up after fouling him. 

SOFT

 

[whiplashtw03]

Lakers been smokin' that good stuff on the plane. PROP 64 in effect

 

[whiplashtw03]

I honestly hope the Warriors score 170 tonight so Luke can chew them all out.

 

[pmatic]

This team is what it is on defense.

 

[whiplashtw03]

This game is a good example of how we miss Julius Randle's presence inside the paint defensively

 

[lovehateself]

This warrior team is what it is on offense
Steph, Kay and KD are 20-29...

 

[MVP]

Bi starting with Deng at the 4. Deng should play well tonight. Should be exciting. I think the lakers will be competitive.

Wasn't expecting anything different.

Second half team..yall gonna learn not to count this team out . Not bad to be missing two starters

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Warriors 80
Lakers 49

Halftime

 

[whiplashtw03]

We will make a run in the second half

But we will still lose by 24

 

[daddyrabbit251]

Warriors not gonna be able to win with this roster... they get these big leads then blow them resting their starters b/c they have a D league bench

 

[MVP]

This team is what it is on defense.

It's like MDA is out there coaching them on that end. This has been an issue all season long.

[emoji]128557[/emoji][emoji]128557[/emoji][emoji]128557[/emoji] u got me. I thought the Warriors would be angry over the first L but I didn't think it would be this bad.

 

[daddyrabbit251]

Side note... Jeff Van keeps insinuating the Wolves need a PG that can knock open shots

Which is why it's imperative we trade DLo and Moz for Boogie ASAP. 

Boogie, Randle, Nance, Black in the interior changes things drastically on the defensive end
