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

[lovehateself]

Brandon Ingram looked the same in this game as he does in real games... pass the ball and hide in the corner

Probably my biggest problem with him, dude is so scared to be assertive doesn't seem like he has that alpha mentality.

He will be fine
He's a rookie
Like I said, we gotta give the youngsters at least 3 years

But but but #2 picks gotta come out and dominate
Doesn't matter if they're not even old enough to drink

 

[MVP]

D'Lo will be 21 next week #ontheclock

 

[whiplashtw03]

Y'all not even knowin it yet...Ingram probably the next prime Tayshaun Prince, two-way player deluxe who was a major presence on that Detroit title team in '04.

 

[Lizakers]

Can't wait to see D'Lackadaisical come out hungry and energetic vs. Westbrook after 8 days rest

I scoffed at this comparison last year, but now...

[pmatic]

Still allergic to the rim? *Yawn*

 

[Lizakers]

Nothing good/bad him and BI did in a freakin rising stars game matters

 

[essential1]

Why are some of you still even Lakers fans?

For the love of Christ, some of you guys enjoy nothing, complain about everything...

Some of the sole purpose seems to just being a contrarian, and make sure other people don't enjoy things just as much as you....



Nowhere else does a team actively root for their players to fail more than Lakers fans. Yeah, yeah, "I want him to succeed, I want him to prove me wrong."


BULL

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

This man has essentially had it

imma be real dude who are you to even call out these dudes?

ive been on here since 2004 and just recently started seeing you post in Laker threads and mind you all i see you posting are copy and pasted stats and unreal trade scenarios.

so just keep it moving bro , take a break from the keyboard and advanced stats websites.

 

[Lizakers]

I'm not rooting for anyone to fail
He just ain't got it
Can't penetrate
No speed
Can't jump

Not the PG I want for a decade

Now the comparison is even worse?

 

[kingjaffejo]

Maybe the tension wouldn't be as high in here if y'all actually discussed topics other than Russel everyday
It's like y'all can't help it lol

Just recently? Whip would be just recently... I've been here since slightly before the Chris Paul nonsense.


But where would we be without your rousing one sentence takes about nothing that you've been making for 5-6 years?


Hell at least with Lizakers there's some depth to discussion we can have... Even same with Mamba.

 

[buc em]

Now the comparison is even worse?

I can't think of a worse comparison a scrappy, jack of all trades 3 and D guy who was a perfect role player and elite defender on a title contender in his prime compared to a passive offense first player who doesn't hustle or do any of the little things that help teams win. The only thing you can compare between them is that they're both tall, lanky and skinny.

 

[purpnyellow]

2 highlight from a rising stars game? literally no D played would Dlo really be able to pull that in a real game

Prince is one of those guys who got the best of all worlds in the draft..

Wasn't a highly touted prospect... But had god given skills, drafted by the right team, with whole lot of quality talent there the day he walked in the room (at least from the starting lineup in RIP, Chauncey & Ben)... And worked on it from there.

It's really crazy the path Chauncey, Ben & RIP took to get to that championship team... Was a fate kind of thing

It's mainly about finding one thing you excel at, using that as your crutch, then you start to stack things on top of it, which is what made that damn Pistons team so good. Still hate everything about them

its heating up in here

Well said my dude. 

It might hurt feelings 'round here 

 

[whiplashtw03]

Showing off two meaningless highlights of DLo displaying his handles at the rising stars game, as if it was done against someone actually defending him  

And what's really funny is that someone here thought it was super extraordinaire that D'AngeNo Hustle's dribbling expertise was worth showing a clip of even though his "handles" were done while STANDING IN PLACE flat footed almost. It's not like he was going between the legs doing crossovers moving laterally in different directions and attacking the rim while breaking his defender's ankles at the same time and putting the defense on its heels, like what Kyrie Irving, Curry, and IT2 do. LOL

Instead D-Slow was showing us his StandStill Handles. Anybody can do that 

 

 

[Lizakers]

The best way to really resolve the bickering is to let this play out. I personally think Dlo won't get a 2nd contract from the lakers and will be dealt. Others think he'll develop into a great PG or even 2nd tier mike Conley level. We just have to see

Fixed

 

[Lizakers]

And, not sure if anyone noticed, Dlo couldn't get by Boris Diaw three possessions. [emoji]128514[/emoji]

My ***** is comparing D'lo to David Wesley man, Jesus
