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

[Maximus Meridius]

Lebron had them as the 4th seed. Easy schedule or not. That's what it was. Just say y'all looking for any excuse to go at Lebron. Soon as he got hurt dudes was saying "He's ruined us!!".

And I been saying he was milking that injury, especially after missing the GS for "load management " but some of y'all go way overboard to validate your dislike for Lebron.

WHOA. I ain't carrying NOBODY when they making $154 million, we can share this damn load. The young core has been disappointing but so has LeBron. If LeBron stayed in the east he wasn't getting to the finals, Leonard would of shut that **** down, Celtics with Kyrie, or Giannis would of cut all that out. Uh they had one of the easiest first halves of the season man, they weren't really in that great of a position. Concur we had basically an entire young core playing and made some rookie mistakes last year. We were in a lot of games last year against good teams, but didn't have a leader. I think we lost maybe 14 winnable games last year, which would of put us at 49 wins. That does include if guys weren't hurt. We have 28 more games and are sitting at 27 wins, everyone said LeBron will add at least 15 wins right, that ain't happening.

Well Lebron missed 18 games.

There's no way with a straight face y'all can defend his shenanigans. None. He's destroyed my favorite team. Unforgivable.

lebron disappointing? Nahhh

guys not being able to hit WIDE OPEN shots at the NBA level....been extremely disappointing.

 

[Lizakers]

Back to back
Best player injured

Still blew us out

Only we use those excuses when we lose. Other teams always beat us short handed and tired

Fire Luke now

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Who's defending anything?


Y'all just talking off straight emotion. Still doing this Kobe vs Lebron thing.

 

[tonelow]

Zo is out, Hart and Kuz are banged up.

It's clear Bron isn't 100%, would've been nice for them to be healthy and he could ease himself in but we don't have that luxury.

Clips just came back from another 20 pt deficit . yeah I think playoffs might be done.

 

[pmatic]

Magic just threw in another two first round picks.

 

[titang545]

Send him back to Ohio

Remember we stuck with him for 3 more years, you can expect more of this every trade deadline no matter who is on his team.

Well Lebron missed 18 games.

But he is Iron Man he doesn't get injured, he recovers faster than normal men, he spends a mil a year on his body. Yet he missing games as soon as he becomes a Laker.

So I guess those same guys not hitting wide open shots were the same ones choking on those freet throws in SA, and Portland? Starting to think Shannon Sharpe on here lurking in the Laker thread.

pathetic loss,,NO DEFENSE at all

 

[drewsone]

Not 100% Bron fault y’all know that
But he does have blame

So does magic
So do the other players not being able to make shots

So does Luke lol

The only thing ill hold entirely against Bron is I’m 100% sure he milked the injury an extra like 8 games

 

[had pants]

Lance just left mo on the floor lmao

It's not 100% on him, but he's at the epicenter of everything. This has literally happened at every stop he's been at since leaving CLE the first time sans Miami with Spo.

 

[thasoleful1]

This loss hurts more seeing the Clippers win after trailing by 20

I can agree that he’s the epicenter but I’m just saying relax

It’s gonna be a long 4 years haha

It’s honestly just super magnified cuz it’s the lakers.

On another note am I the only one that thinks if they don’t do the trade that they’ll be able to right the ship?

Hopefully it's only 3 and he leaves.

No I don't blame him entirely, however he is the leader. I expect him to lead these young troops, they grew up looking up to him. Now they right here with him, he smiling in their face in practice. Meanwhile behind closed doors he trying to secretly ship them out, without so much as a heads up. Since they probably don't know the business side, they probably real pissed. However you need to man up and should have shown up today to play. Guys were letting things outside of their control mess them up, which I expect from 1st and 2nd year players.

I have said for a while Luke is not the guy he needs to go, but Jeannie is adamant about not firing that dude so I just stop talking about it. The outside uncertainty played into this game as well as poor energy from everyone. Nobody is without fault except maybe McGee and Zub.

Concur he milked that damn injury and cost us some much-needed games we should have won.

 

[Lizakers]

Missing the playoffs will be an absolute disaster and it looks very likely that it’ll happen

 

[titang545]

Hopefully it's only 3 and he leaves.

He has no incentive to leave, no team is going to pay him more money than he will get from us. He doesn't need to go to Cleveland to retire his jersey, and the weather doesn't get any better than California.

Dawg you know injuries happen all the time in the NBA?

And considering this is first time he's missed double games due to injury that is iron man compared to his peers.

Y'all gotta get off this emotional thing.

Been telling you it's a wrap.

At least Kobe helped put banners in the rafters before wrecking the team, I'm heated man.

They been in trade talks since they got drafted. But yeah prob different when it seems like it’s gonna happen

Before he got hurt he was doing a good job in leading tho imo besides the early games where he didn’t close and tried to let them figure it out

Yeah I think he let them try and figure it out to long, they are looking at him to close. You can't play the game one way then change it up in the fourth to only change it back. Ok LeBron letting us get off first three quarters, 4th give him the ball, wait 20 seconds he giving it back to us. Does he want us to score or give it back. I'm so confused and the pressure this is my idol.

Nah I agree. Just let the deadline pass and players will be fine.
