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

Great game? Why does it have to be a great game? You can win ugly, hell the Warriors won ugly today.

Bron barely beat Clev the last time we played them.

Our shooting, open 3's and free throws, are huge issues. Huge.

Hart has STRUGGLED from 3.
Ingram?
Ball, obviously.

Kuz and........Svi (???) are our most trusted shooters. KCP probably 3rd. KCP, 3rd, on the whole roster.

It's a big issue. And we all saw it coming. Rondo, Lance, Javale, Beasley, Chandler we're all brought in, none of them are shooters.

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Luke doesn’t run anything. It’s all just screen and roll plays.

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

**** it.
Call up Andre Ingram.

 

[frink85]

**** it.
Call up Andre Ingram.

I’ll take mark ingram maybe he can make a free throw

 

[tupac003]

Tied in the loss column with the Jazz and Kings...

 

[D StaXX]

**** it.
Call up Andre Ingram.

I mean why not. Team is straight ***.

 

[atlsfinest]

I'm legit starting to think that Rondo is our 2nd or 3rd best player. This is a new low for the Luke Walton tenure. We've seen no progress running his "offense". We're still just 5 guys , doing their own thing then playing hero ball in the 4th quarter. It's been two and a half years.

 

[CP1708]

There's an alternate reality where we flip Zo/Mozgov and keep DLo/Lopez.

DLo/Rondo
Hart/KCP
Ingram/Lance
Bron/Kuz
Javale/Brooke

Little more shooting, little less on D tho.

I wonder if this would have been a better setup around Bron.

 

[brucefan74]

Bres, Fish, and Worthy been talking about making FTs for 5 mins hahaha

NBA TV too.

 

[pmatic]

LMAO. This is why you can't lose games to the Cavs and Knicks.

 

[WAKKO!]

Funny how we got out coached yet again

Not sure what your point is.

You are looking at the teams issues very superficially.

It’s like imagine you have aids. With aids comes symptoms that resemble a fever/cold/flu. You are suggesting only taking medication to reduce the symptoms. You still got aids tho. What everybody else is suggesting is treating the damn aids so you get rid of the symptoms and the core issue. You blame **** that is a result of poor scheme. Fix scheme = immediately better results. You’re using an inductive approach to this and you wrong boi

Scheme improves their shooting? Just scheme, they shoot better from 3 and the free throw line? Yes or no?

 

[noblekane]

we arent winning that bulls game

 

[gaiiige]

im struggling to think of reasons as to why luke is a good coach

this is his 3rd year

 

[krazyrodzilla]

 

[CP1708]

You guys wanted Mike Brown out. What did it fix?
You guys wanted MDA out. What did it fix?
You guys wanted Byron out. What did it fix?
You guys want Luke out.......

(I wanted Brown and Byron out too, but not MDA or Luke)

You guys just want to shuffle deck chairs. The roster weaknesses aren't changing based on a new suit. Rotations and timeouts ain't fixing lack of shooting. Sorry.

 

[D StaXX]

I already know what Rob is thinking..

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I like Luke but this **** don't look good under his watch, period. We don't have Bron but we losing to the Knicks and Cavs at home. Getting blown out by 2 underperforming teams, the Jazz and Twolves. **** is just ugly.

The teams shooting is terrible. Can't make FT's. Offense is just a mess. This is f'n embarrassing.

 

[kingjaffejo]

Maaaaaannnnnnn......

Listen to Luke at the podium. He knows he is gone. You can hear it in his voice. He knows this game may have been the 1 to seal his fate.
It isn't his fault really, it is who he chose to put around him as a coaching staff. A coaching failure in BShaw and a bunch of young inexperienced no names.
He should have surrounded himself with veteran, forward thinking, teaching coaches instead of babysitters.

Now the man is talking about making changes to the starting lineup, the man is searching right now. Bron covers up coaching and player deficiencies.

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

After the Bulls we have
At OKC
At Houston
Golden State

Yikes.

 

[MVP]

If I wake up to a Luke Walton it's fired alert this loss would've been worth it. We haven't had a half court offense all season long. And we've come out lethargic on way too many occasions.

 

[fayetnam]

Scheme improves their shooting? Just scheme, they shoot better from 3 and the free throw line? Yes or no?

Scheme definitely improves 3’s yes. By virtue of taking better (more open) shots. Also proper scheme would magnify a players strengths and mitigate a players weakness. So you’d get better shots all around.

Free throws can be attributable to poor coaching. So by hiring a capable assistant that would be rectified as well or at least improved. Half the team is shooting career lows from the line

 

[thasoleful1]

This team can’t hit free throws or 3 pointers. You can coach the **** out of them but if you can’t do that what coach will save this team?
