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

[nermindee]

I’ve been saying... this team doesn’t have real shooters, just a bunch of chuckers

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Im so hot.

I been screaming shooting for almost 2 straight years.

If we could actually hit shots and exchange baskets with teams instead of always playing catch up from the first quarter we would be blowing teams out

but this team only hits shots when forced to crawl out of a self dug hole.

this aint it man.

 

[DLF]

I miss the days when we sucked. I’d be home relaxing and basketball would be the last thing on my mind.
Instead I’m high strung. Stressed out. Stomach hurts. Dehydrated. **** this team

 

[tay1]

We really need Avery Bradley bruh. I never would’ve thought.

 

[thasoleful1]

Now I gotta deal with these Warrior fans rooting for the Blazers who they talk hella ****. Oh the irony.

 

[atlsfinest]

So glad we chose old man river and soft AD over Kawhi, PG and the young core

Please go through the mental gymnastics that led you to believing the idea that we had a choice between AD/LeBron and Kawhi/PG. We're all frustrated with the loss but you don't have to start making things up.

 

[CHAOSE57]

AD has no dog in him. Hate to say it but it’s true.

I still don’t have the same trust I had in Pau with AD. On the offensive end at least, like when Pau is down low, best believe something is going to happen.

I don't think it was a choice...lol

 

[tay1]

And Pau was like ten times slower than AD

 

[atlsfinest]

It's frustrating, it's like we went into the bubble a vastly inferior team to the one that left in March. The crazy thing is, we don't even have to shoot well to win. If we shoot at a league average (44% from the field and 32% from three) level, we win this game by double digits

 

[cruzair13]

Also kieff was playing well plus Kuz.

When they stopped being aggressive to the rim after missing the 4 free throws it was curtains.

Bully 2kratingmonger and nurkic and get them into foul trouble.

 

[thasoleful1]

Both number 1 seeds took L’s damn the bubble effect is real.

 

[youngwolf]

This goofy **** needs to be scrubbed from the internet. Borderline disrespectful.

 

[CP1708]

Rewatching.

87-81, OUR BALL. 7 min left. Dwight with an off ball offensive foul.

Chance to go up 8-9 there.

11 missed free throws in a 7 point loss.

KCP 0-9.

AD 8/24. I mean, honor Kobe, but win first.

Caruso held Dame down. But we can't have poor spacing. AD gotta play 5 with Kuz on the court. Need to open lane for Bron/AD.

 

[tay1]

I’m good on this team man until they play how they’re supposed to. This ain’t worth rooting for

 

[DLF]

We really need Avery Bradley bruh. I never would’ve thought.

No way. Our guards played excellent d.
Bradley wasn’t gonna hit 4/5 from 3. He was gonna do the same **** these guys did

We're going to continue to have four spaces still prove we can consistently hit three pointers. Until then, teams are just going to clog the lane. We literally shot 15% from three. That's hard to do

 

[nermindee]

lol who the hell is the lakers shooting coach btw?

 

[tay1]

lol who the hell is the lakers shooting coach btw?

Lethal shooter

 

[atlsfinest]

Damn bro, One playoff loss shakes your foundation like that lol. Chill!

 

[tay1]

Damn bro, One playoff loss shakes your foundation like that lol. Chill!

Nah. I had them in 6 from the jump but it’s embarrassing for a 1 seed to be playing like they have.

 

[tupac003]

Vogel talking about Portland playing in 7 straight game 7's...smh

 

[pmatic]

I'm booking a flight to Orlando if Vogel starts Javale again. That's coaching malpractice just to appease locker room politics.

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Take Javale’s camera away and lock him in his room.

 

[lvjordan238]

For all the flack the guys missing shots can and should get, if you're the "GOAT" quit passing the bums the ball when they're building a brick house.
