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

[noblekane]

I don't get why we start games with suboptimal lineups and then only move to more ideal lineups when our backs are against the wall. Why not just start out with the most effective five-man group?



I think back to last year's Finals, why wait until game six to start AD at the 5? We knew that was our best line of the whole year, why wait until the end to utilize it?

because vogel is an idiot

 

[noblekane]

Just got this in, hopefully it's a good omen for tonight and AD somehow is able to beast.

we need one of these seasons to have a black silver and white city jersey

Idc what the lineup is but if Drummond starts Vogel is dead to me. I don’t care what you promised him. This is the first time you’re in an elimination game during his laker coaching career. **** what the gm says. **** what agents will think.

It’s not like Lue had an issue benching Zubac/Bev/Kennard

 

[had pants]

Said I wasn't gonna crack it until the finals but eff it.

No matter what they can't take the 2020 Chip from us and I can still celebrate it now.

 

[atlsfinest]

Hopefully we can get 25 decent minutes out of Anthony Davis tonight, most importantly I don't want him to endanger himself long-term

 

[D_eezus]

Small part of me that hopes we beat them by 30 but ill
take a W

 

[atlsfinest]

Who is it that other teams can find guys off the scrap heap who can hit threes consistently like Austin Rivers yet we have three or four guys on our roster who can't shoot to save their lives?

Shooters really come to the Lakers to die

[Maximus Meridius]

[tupac003]

Gentlemen,

Whatever happens...it's always a joy to argue, debate and discuss our Lakers.

Let's get this to 7.

Let's go Lakers!!!

 

[dhart48]

See y'all at game 7

 

[D_eezus]

DENNIS SCORED YALL

 

[tupac003]

Yeesh...

Already suns can't miss.

 

[tupac003]

AD is not good...

He is hurting.

 

[tupac003]

Good god....

Man...

 

[WAKKO!]

 

[Lizakers]

At least we can have a full offseason of rest

 

[tupac003]

Might as well take AD out.

He isn't going to give us anything. He was already holding that leg...

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

AD can’t go, gotta take him out. He’s done.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Yup. AD is just a decoy.

Suns playing with confidence and in the zone as a result.

Schroder is checked out. EYE can already tell. No focus on his shots, dude building a brick house

 

[goldmember]

They ready to go home fam. Lol

same energy from lebron. Dude posted up CP and kicks it out . Welp

 

[pmatic]

AD can't recover fast enough to Crowder on D. Make him a C or sit him out.

 

[tupac003]

Vogel for the love of god...

Get AD out.
