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

[pmatic]

Lol this team can't help, but be stupid.

 

[frink85]

THT layup package >>>>

 

[DLF]

Soon fellas

Soon

Russ won’t be in during these high leverage situations.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Well whaddayaknow... AD gets the ball on the post free throw line, defense collapses so he then kicks out to open Melo. 3 points.

Next play, THT goes to AD goes inside, dishes back door to Russ. Easy bucket.

LOL rocket science, Frank

 

[pmatic]

Should've just made THT the PG.

 

[tupac003]

Nice run there to end this game.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Laker box score looking sexy AF

 

[htg designs]

THT finishes at the rim are something else

 

[DLF]

Lebron with this closing lineup could work

AD
Melo
lebron
ellington
THT

2 elite shooters. 2 slashers.

 

[tupac003]

Love what I saw from THT.

AD played great tonight.

Ellington had a nice game.

Team can be scary on offense if shots are falling.

My only complaint rebounding. Gotta stop all these second chance points.

 

[MajinZuub]

Only beat the Spurs by 8

We're not gonna forget this come playoff time

**** this team

 

[MVP]

Just get healthy man.

 

[DLF]

Only beat the Spurs by 8

We're not gonna forget this come playoff time

**** this team

That’s the spirit!

let the hate flow through your body!!!

Big Game on Access said just now, "I thought AD's start, In the paint, in the paint, in the paint, drawing the double team, kicking it out...along with Ellington and Monk, were the key differences in the game."

If Vogel ain't going inside-out as the first option on offense to take advantage of the Lakers best player's biggest asset, we ain't winning no championship.

All that one on one, facing up taking the defender off the dribble, with little ball movement 90% of the time on offense ain't the definition of winning team basketball. Save that **** for Rucker Park and Drew League

Good win. Even though only by 8.

Let's see next game if they continue to utilize AD on the post inside to continue creating off-ball opportunities and open threes, in rhythm in the flow, for the rest of the other players on offense.

 

[trynafeelmink]

They just have to keep working on the defense, Between Bron, Russ, AD & THT i don't think there's a team who can draw more attention getting to the paint, our shooters are gonna EAT this season. Once they turn into an atleast above average defense we will really start to see the flashes.

 

[noblekane]

how did the spurs cut it to 2? wtf. thought we were gonna choke anoTher away. jesus

 

[drewsone]

THT looking like he might make a leap this year man lol

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Biggest adjustment is parking DJ on the bench. Opens up everything on both sides of the court. AD has room to operate at the 5 which is why that's been the team's best lineup by far since he's been here

 

[MVP]

Bron coming back moves Baze outta the rotation plus still got Nunn and the remains of Ariza in the chamber. Really want to slide to see Zo and Carushow tomorrow night. Should be a great game.

 

[DLF]

how did the spurs cut it to 2? wtf. thought we were gonna choke anoTher away. jesus

Russ two straight turnovers and tht went to bench

tht came back, a real number 2 for AD and boom. Lead to 8

 

[trynafeelmink]

I think Baze will find minutes again but he's been terrible thus far. hopefully he comes along because he could be help defensively, although Austin certainly helps.

 

[DLF]

Russ woke up feeling dangerous today

14/11/7 with 7 turnovers.

this is why you get Russ.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

 

[DLF]

Vogel coaching for his job now

 

[thasoleful1]

Russ
THT
Bron
Melo
AD

is that the go to end game lineup? Melo probably gets rotated out for either Ellington, Bradley, or Monk depending on score and matchup
