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

[DLF]

OT vs a tanking team while we should be in desperation mode with 2 out of 3 stars playing: season has long been over

 

[pmatic]

Better get Melo off the floor. Picking on him on d.

 

[grittyman]

Bron on a bum knee at 41 minutes…most of those at center

Crazy

 

[tupac003]

I truly hate this team

 

[frink85]

 

[tupac003]

Time for the heavy stuff...they really blew this game man.

 

[grittyman]

that kinda night

 

[pmatic]

Lol they wanted to play a pick up game and ran out of legs at the very end.

 

[tupac003]

Turned it off. I don't need this mess anymore.

 

[grittyman]

Rockets turned the 3 point sliders on 99 in this OT

 

[cedric ceballos]

Trash. Get this MLB lockout solved and hopefully there’s some LA Kings playoff hockey at the crypt in a few weeks.

 

[CP1708]

Bron -17 in 44 minutes.

Everyone's fav lineup Bron/Monk/Reeves on the floor late in the 4th and OT. Blown out.

Pick yet another random lineup to hype up.

Results will be the same folks.

 

[pmatic]

Better get Melo off the floor. Picking on him on d.

 

[ill 949]

Pels already lost, Blazers more than likely gonna lose to Jazz. I'll take solace in the fact we at least competed with effort..in a loss...to the ******* Rockets.

That kinda season

 

[CP1708]

Bron kicks to Monk, pump fake.
Kicks to Reeves, pump fake.
Attacks.........ERIC, GORDON.....passes out.......pump fake.

Shocking, but Melo/Russ don't pump fake, they launch, and miss.

Rockets swish open 3 after open 3 after open 3.

But hey....

 

[tupac003]

I don't think coach talk is gonna help anything CP.

I think most of us agree the team as a whole stinks. Coaching is apart of the stinking.

 

[Deleted member 107398]

Been against this ‘build around LeBron’ experiment since day 1 (check old posts). And thats not an attack on him, our team is trash as a whole. 2020 team at least played better as a TEAM. We traded short term success for long term slump, here we are.

Naw. Lotta these folks got no idea. THAT been my point all along. Folks see that as backing Vogel *shrugs*

My point has been, yelling about rotations and play this combo or that combo, if the players ain't good, forget it. Could be anyone in a suit, these guys ain't it. Melo doesn't suddenly defend. Russ doesn't suddenly stop doin dumb/weird ****/turning it over, 37 year old Bron doesn't close out shooters, Dwight doesn't become Orld Dwight, Ariza doesn't remember, AD doesn't play 80+ games and on and on and on.

Phil would be beating all their chests like 2011 Pau.

Wouldn't change nothin.

 

[tupac003]

I disagree. A few of those games could have been won with better coaching.

I do agree nobody could make this team a title contender.

 

[Lizakers]

Lebron passing up a layup for a Melo 3. Season from hell continues. Wait til Nunn gets back.

Meanwhile suns 3-1 without CP and Book. clips winning without PG and Kawhi. Heat on top of the East with all their best players in and out of the lineup all year. We are pathetic. Gotta blow up this whole rotten culture of excuses and poor effort

 

[tupac003]

I'll never understand why he didn't try to lay that up.

He either makes it or gets fouled...

Season from hell is correct.

Don't need a play in. Just end it.

Lebron can rest up that knee, we can get rid of russ for hopefully 3 to 4 players and hope AD stops being Mr. Glass.

 

[Lizakers]

Is this what started it all?

It's so simple.

-foe

 

[noblekane]

only 2 things are certain this season.

were gonna lose.

vogel will still be coach.

 

[DLF]

Need Linda Zafrani to make sense of all this
