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

[MVP]

IT tried to be the hero. Zo was wiiide open

 

[CHAOSE57]

Its 1am here and im heated. Can't sleep with this ****.

 

[God]

Damn I hate Portland

Dame beat us. Don’t blame IT

I don’t like IT win or lose. I’m not blaming him, but I’m blaming him.

 

[sohi 23]

IT 5/21 and 1/9 from three.

They missed free throws and gave us a shot to win it at the end too. Smfh

 

[sohi 23]

I don’t like IT win or lose. I’m not blaming him, but I’m blaming him.

I hate that ****** lol.
Still can't wait til he's gone. Fine rooting for him now but I don't want him back next year.

 

[CP1708]

Up 11, at home, minus two key guys, legs give out late?

Need to start running Dame off the 3 in the future.

 

[Lizakers]

Bros, up 11 with 5 minutes left. Dame hits 4 3s.

IT had bad stats and we were up 11. Defense and rebounding failed and Dame got HOTTTT

 

[cruzair13]

Dame dolla... assassin.
Couldn't execute down the stretch and randle wasn't involved after bullying the whole game. He was killing them.
IT just doesn't have a high bball iq or isn't in sync with the team. He jumps in midair too much in no man's land his short ness doesn't give him any room for error.
We blew it but dame just nasty.

 

[Lizakers]

Sick of Worthy calling him “Alonzo”

 

[MVP]

Bros, up 11 with 5 minutes left. Dame hits 4 3s.

Could have had Zu or Brook out there for rebounding purposes but yea. I'm heated.

 

[sohi 23]

IT Fasho gunna talk about how the team is young/needs to learn how to win and take none of the blame in the press conference lmao

This game sucks cuz we should've won but what can you do. We're missing 2 main players, IT couldn't buy a bucket and Dame went off. Oh well.

Wish we went to Julius more in the 4th.

 

[Lizakers]

Zo becoming way too dependent on the three ball
His touch around the rim and in the paint needs work in the offseason . Doesn’t seem confident with layups and floaters and midrange

 

[sohi 23]

Could have had Zu or Brook out there for rebounding purposes but yea. I'm heated.

Those 2 offensive rebounds killed me

 

[darthska]

How Dame ended the game:

- assist for 3
- hit 2 FTs
- 3
- 3
- 3
- 3

Dude is unreal.

 

[MVP]

KCP had some boneheaded plays too down the stretch. Oh well we had our chances. Every game with these guys has gone down to the wire I think.

 

[Lizakers]

They did to us what we did to the spurs down the stretch
Smh

 

[sohi 23]

Yeah that KCP play where he thought he got fouled so he threw up a bull**** runner and then fouled Nurkic immediately had me heated.

He should've made that driving layup tho. Just rimmed out.

 

[cruzair13]

KCP had some boneheaded plays too down the stretch. Oh well we had our chances. Every game with these guys has gone down to the wire I think.

Oh god that swipe off balanced two looking for a foul was cringeworthy.

 

[CHAOSE57]

It is what it is, learning experience for dem boyz. Onto the next one.

 

[sohi 23]

It is what it is, learning experience for dem boyz. Onto the next one.

Yup. All it really means is our playoff chances go from 2 to 1% lol.

 

[MVP]

Oh god that swipe off balanced two looking for a foul was cringeworthy.

That should have been a foul but he compounded it with that frustration foul 90 feet from their basket. Can't make those kinda plays.

 

[krazyrodzilla]

Zo and Kuz was WIDE OPEN!!!

 

[Maximus Meridius]

It is what it is, learning experience for dem boyz. Onto the next one.

Yeah can't even be mad at that loss. Dame WENT OFF.

 

[CP1708]

We stole from the Spurs and got stolen tonight. I can't be pissed at that.

If BI/Hart played, I think we coulda closed both. BI/Hart defense was missed late. IT/Kuz/Randle can't do much vs Dame/CJ

 

[CHAOSE57]

On a bright side, it feels good that the team is starting to be competitive again. Expecting wins, compared to the previous years. Keep growing youngins
