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

[SORIANOTRON]

For as good as we are, being 22nd in the league for allowing paint points is eye opening. We can be alot BETTER as scary as that sounds.

What did whiteside do you?

Took his Bish

Zube would you be happy with 10 min? How about 8?

people clowned Javale and Dwight before they came here and ultimately made an impact. Anything is possible.

I mean I’m being realistic instead of thinking Lebron James can miraculously make Hassan Dwight Howard or even a Javale

Ive followed this dude right since he got to Miami, I’m convinced y’all havent watched him play at all My brother is a Heat fan and when Whiteside was "dominating" he waned him out of there

Keep going for the it’s personal with me card, there’s been literally no personal hate I’ve put on him in here, just pure basketball talk.

This team has been rolling and y’all are desperate for Hassan Whiteside. Have some standards

 

[denni5themenace]

whiteside sucks

[nermindee]

Gasol needs to go

 

[atlsfinest]

Why does it feel like the moment the game starts we're already down eight or nine points?

 

[pmatic]

Another slow start lol.

 

[tupac003]

We like OKC up by a bunch for some odd reason.

 

[drewsone]

Lakers stinking lol

Gasol must be like 9% from 3 for the season

 

[atlsfinest]

This is just one of those weird, low effort games we used to have in the Kobe and Shaq/Kobe and Pau seasons. We would have a slow start and get pounded by a bad team do solely to a lack of effort. Honestly, I don't think LeBron should play another minute in this game. Not worth it. Just let the young guys get some run and let the chips fall where they may

That's what I'm saying, Gasol ain't it. He's slow-footed on defense, he can't catch lobs on offense and he can't hit a jump shot to save his life. At this stage, Whiteside might be an upgrade. He's a shot blocker and a rim protector. I'll admit that he's not the brightest dude but we're not asking him to do very much. Just catch a lobs, rebound and block shots for 20 minutes a game

Lord you might give someone a heart attack talking about whiteside...

 

[pmatic]

With Muscala on the floor, there's no point in playing Trezz and Kieff at the same time.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Double ot then ot. This wasn't that hard to see coming

 

[pmatic]

Not sure if Kenrich Williams or Kawhi Leonard.

 

[pmatic]

 

[pmatic]

 

[tupac003]

They are looking at that for a flagrant?

 

[tupac003]

Wow...that's one of the worst flagrant calls I have ever seen.

 

[pmatic]

Disastrous last five seconds for KCP.

 

[MVP]

KCP need to get bullied again

 

[MVP]

Not sure if Kenrich Williams or Kawhi Leonard.

Dude has the worst haircut I've ever seen, this is unacceptable.

 

[pmatic]

No AD and Caruso highlights how poor THT is on defense. But he's young so it's not too surprising.

 

[tupac003]

What is THT doing?
