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

This is rough to watch.

That said. I’m fine with AD not playing tonight. If this was an elimination game he likely would’ve gutted it out. But if he got hurt Sunday, better to take a few extra days over potentially aggravating things even more, taking the L anyway and missing more time.

That said, if Phoenix ultimately wins this series, give them props. Well except that ZoDogg Suns fan who used to post on here. But that short turnaround time between game 6 of the finals and the start of this season absolutely ****** the Lakers. You can say the same for the Heat or any other team who played well into late September as well.

Vogel would’ve been well within reason to rest Lebron and AD in any non nationally televised games early in the season. Fans couldn’t attend the games anyway so it wasn’t likely paying fans would’ve been cheated out of seeing their favorite stars play.

"We Soft" the only two meaningful words in that entire Snoop quote.

Boy did Rob fk up by underestimating the value of Rondo, Dwight, and McGee.

Their presence, forget the minutes, is what largely made this squad a hard nosed, intelligent, and precision ball club.

In other words, not soft.

That's why they're built for the playoffs and that's why Dwight, Rondo, and Javale will still be playing in the playoffs helping their squads while the Lakers will be long gone fishing.
 
Hindsight is always 20/20

Dwight and Rondo needed to stay.

Rondo I get...no way we could give him that payday but Howard was there...
