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



Schroder was a lifesaver last night on offense.

1-1 going back home i'll take it.

Bron still working his way back, our role players have played like **** for the most part, and our shooting is still horrendous & we've been in position to win both games. Once we actually get rolling it's gonna get rough for opposing teams

Last year our shooting didn’t leak until the last 2 rounds
And by peak I mean shooting at like a nice average 33% :lol
 
rewatching some of the game

I can count at least 3 times when a lack of confidence in our shot lead to one to two more unnecessary passes that lead to a turnover or a far worse shot. This included AD passing up open jumpers late in the clock in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.
 
yeah bro he's literally sitting there at the end of a broke defensive play wide open for a dump off
**** annoying lol
Word he ain’t outplaying anyone. He’s just in the right place right time, once book passes out of the double/decides to drive n dish.

we are doubling hard on the perimiter so we are left scrambling to rotate, usually leaving the big on ayton to step out/recover.

it’s not like he’s going shaq on the block 1 on 1 and we have no answer.

lol no one trippin off ayton.

Good fight, LeBron and AD showing up.

15 more wins baby, by any means.
 
At the end of the third quarter. There were two instances when the lakers were in transition. Kuzma gets the ball with only Ayton in front of him at an angle and off balance and instead of attacking like he normally does. He stops to find Lebron. Him and kcp were so scared last night.

then Lebron with two HORRIBLE defensive plays leaking completely off of Cam Johnson for two wide open3s. Without those lakers are up 13 going into 4th instead of 7. Then suns hit a 3 to start 4th
 
Watching the fourth quarter. Vogel gonna have a great film session. Most of the suns points from start of fourth to the mid fourth were almost all off of lakers horrible mental lapses. I’m talking two players running to one guy type of defensive rotations. Just completely lost.

i think when they went up 10ish they just stripped focusing on that end for that stretch. (E.g Ad runs to contest Payne’s 3 while Drummond is already in front of him...leaving crowder for the open put back. Or. Suns setting double screen leading to two guys going to the strong side leaving Crowder wide open by like 7 feet, causing Caruso to dive and lead to 4 pt play). Basically, lakers coulda won this game by 15+ EASILY

also how was that not a flagrant on Payne on AD. He literally, I mean LITERALLY tackled him.
 
Man everytime Bron take this fade away/threes I always think he’s gonna brick it but he keeps making it. :lol: Came a long way.
the fades i've gotten to a part where i feel like it'll go in most the time. like its a good shot for him. now its for sure not when i seen kobe shoot em and i expcted kobe to never miss those lol but he for sure came a long way

the 3's he's super streaky. the one where he was fading in the corner to the baseline i did not expect him to make :lol

on another note

whew

Next level defense. Jump back and forth from doubling to jumping out on a shooter to blocking a shot.

thats prob why they save the AD at the 5 minutes
i don't think he has the stamina to sustain that for the entirety of a game
especially since he's doing so much on defense then on offense he's getting mauled lol

We also can’t forget that we had a 11 point lead for most of the game with AD at PF.
 
Remember when people were worried someone might make THT a poison pill max contract offer lol

at this rate we will sign him for a 2-way deal
