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

[frink85]

He didnt. Heat was smart as soon as Randle hit the screen the man who was guarding inbound went straight to Randle doubling him. Lonzo had to pass it out. IT wanted to be the savior and well you know the rest.

I need to see it again, I was mad so I turned off the TV immediately didnt watch any replays Lonzo passed it out to IT who immediately dribbled to the elbow and throw up a contested jumper. Like, I know the time was running down but I was yelling for him to pass it on the drive.

It's Luke's fault we got a stop with the clock at .5 and the refs gave Miami 24 seconds. Damn you Luke.

Come on bro.

Stop doing that. Nobody said that.

 

[Lizakers]

Zo took better shots tonight and wasn't camping out the whole time behind the 3 point like jacking up 3s even though he made his first, when he can start finishing at the rim and get those floaters going conaistently he is really going to be a major threat on offense

But were they really better shots if he ended up 4-15? He got blocked twice, clanked layups, airball floater. His offense needs major work this summer and he needs to wear real b-ball shoes lol

 

[CP1708]

Come on bro.

Stop doing that. Nobody said that.

If folks gonna be irrational about inserting your best free throw shooter and shot creator in the final seconds, I'm gonna join the party.

Luke makin Randle miss that 3 footer with his left hand.

They missed after that reset so moot point

 

[CP1708]

They missed after that reset so moot point

But it limited possessions. Only got the Randle and IT shots. Heat got two full clocks, shoulda had to attempt a really tough lob play.

 

[Lizakers]

My prediction: 38-44
All these close losses......what could have been

Irrational?

Nothing irrational about it.

IT being in the game was a mistake no matter what rational you believe was behind it.

Making posts with all this other nonsense doesn't change that.

Yeah...damn.

Still a 12 game improvement from last year.

 

[fearless]

should have put Wear in instead of that ****** IT

So if IT makes the shot, it was a mistake?

Or if Randle gets the ball and misses, it was a mistake?

Or if he put Brooke in and he missed it, that was a mistake?

This isn't result based, it's process based. Coaches don't use 7 footers during last shots. Brooke at half court as the outlet is not a thing.

Bynum, Shaq, Dwight, none of them would be used over your best FT shooter and shot creator.

It was not a mistake. He was the outlet over a 7 footer, with no BI or Hart available, period.

Whole lot of what if.

It's a mistake. Period.

Even worse Randle was wide open and IT had no intention of passing that ball.

Mistake. End of story.

 

[sohi 23]

IT is trynna get his bag this summer and he's using the Lakers as his opportunity to do it.

Brook & KCP are doing the same but they're a lot more team orientated than that selfish dude IT.

He literally just wanted the glory of the game winner as soon as he got the inbounds... he was never passing. **** him.

Can't wait until he's off the squad.

 

[WAKKO!]

Isn’t this like the third game where IT blows the last shot of the game? Talking about either a turnover or really bad shot (airball)

 

[ill 949]

Not a fan of his mentality..every quote is about him. im a leader. im going to teach them how to win. im no 6th man. im a 2 time all-star.

You aint ****

Its all about him and not about the team which is what bothers me

 

[tupac003]

Through with IT. Done.

 

[had pants]

 

[DLF]

How I got over the loss:

The worse IT plays now and shows who he really is, the less likely Magic does something dumb like sign him to either a big one year deal or a small multiple year deal. Best to be as “turned off” by him now then after we sign him.

Don’t want him even for the vet minimum. He’s a cancer.

 

[Lizakers]

Even when he’s hitting shots , his dribble dribble dribble iso iso iso style is detrimental to the team. We are a ball movement team with one iso guy who sometimes is hot sometimes is bricking and always turnover prone and unable to defend

And when he’s off, boy is he off. His only attribute is literally scoring.

 

[tupac003]

13 games left of that cancer.

What I find disturbing is that lonzo plays shooting guard when he’s with him. Taking the ball out of lonzo’s hand can’t be what we really want but you have to accomadate the shrimp, otherwise you can’t play him more then 10 mins.
