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

[DLF]

Surprise surprise. Nba thread posters “accidentally” coming into our thread

 

[ronaldo nazario]

We all knew they were losing game 1 though. Right?

I mean I fully expected it. Team plays too often without any fight or desire, way too nonchalant.

If this really does go south then Jeanie might have to call Phil.

 

[drewsone]

Woke and and my first thought was **** Frank Vogel

he’s gotta go end of this season. Title or not

 

[D StaXX]

It's not.

Need to run the floor and get him moving to the rim (pick and roll). The post ups are fool's gold.

This too. Did Bron & AD even attempt a PNR last night?

 

[D_eezus]

First 3 quarters were ok, sloppy at times. whatever happened in the first half of the 4th needs to be corrected ASAP

 

[Lizakers]

We can’t change who AD is
He’s not Shaq or Ewing or Cousins, or even Pau in the post

play to his strengths. Get him diving and moving to the rim on PnR’s

no way PJ can defend him if the ball is up high

Vogel dumb af

 

[DLF]

Rondo is the key. He is our best player and MVP. He needs more minutes. 33+. They don’t call him playoff R for nothing

 

[reformeDWS]

i'd get lebron/ad on the free throw line and attack from there, but the spacing is killing with bigs/nonshooters on the court.

the post entry passes were pathetic yesterday. if AD is getting fronted, you have to reverse the ball, not just lob it over. and when the ball is reversed, AD has to seal, and he wasn't doing that at all.

 

[drewsone]

Look at rondo
Vogel stupid *** played him 25 min
This his first game in 7 months bro smfh

even if they start using Bron/AD PnR which has always been good for them the spacing is so tragic lol they legit cannot play two bigs man

no point. Played two bigs last night and the rebounding was the same and rockets had more paint pts

And not just “25 mins” but vital minutes like first quarter and fourth quarters.

 

[Lizakers]

His IQ is off the charts smdh

He is a basketball savant. He knows the plays before they happen. Like he was playing 6D chess that inbound play with 14 seconds left on the shot clock when he threw it off the rim. Y’all didn’t know he was just punishing the rim for not being nice to him. That punishment will serve him well in game 2 when he’ll put up a whopping 6 and 3 on 22 percent shooting

 

[drewsone]

 

[tay1]

Its a problem that Lebron is our best 3 point shooter

 

[MajinZuub]

JUST GO BACK TO POST ASG FORM PLEASE

 

[MVP]

Sigh...

 

[DLF]

Sigh...

Nothing wrong with the big line up. We played well in first quarter.
Okc played Adams in stretches and Noel at other times and did great.


Just have to NOT play Rondo 48 minutes and run AD into better spots.
Rondo literally lost us that game. So many times we were down 1 or 2 only to have to do turn the ball over 2-3 times in a row and the lead would balloon to 6-7.

 

[DLF]

I don’t think we need to reinvent the wheel. We were down 1 or 2 most of the game. Few adjustments and also have to tell our bigs to play with more urgency. Otherwise we will lock them in a room with some hungry dogs.

 

[drewsone]

Sigh...

Bron AD gonna have to get it done IN SPITE of ****ing **** face frank

 

[DLF]

Bron AD gonna have to get it done IN SPITE of ****ing **** face frank

Lol. Lol. AD being aggressive has nothing to do with frank though. Frank is at fault no doubt. But AD isn’t a robot either.

LeBron played great. Perfect amount of aggression with facilitating. Rondo really ****ed us though

1) frank.
2) rondo
3) bigs not aggresive
4) Dort/cp3/shai

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

Rondo ruins everything, the mistakes, the messed up flow, the terrible percentage jumpshots. Now hes gonna take Caruso's minutes.

 

[drewsone]

AD do be having those weird non aggressive games with bad body language
but still had 27/12

Yeah, but it's just empty numbers like Al Jefferson.

We need that aggressive AD where that Unibrow strikes fear when you look at it.

Not, "Lol, AD got a unibrow."

 

[darthska]

Through this 1st round of the playoffs & 1 game of the 2nd round, issa few Lakers looking funny in the light, in my opinion.

Green lol
Kuz had a bad game but i dont think its a coincidence that he had a bad game the game Rondo came back
