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

[Lizakers]

Can’t win them all. Losing to an eastern conference team is best case scenario if you are gonna lose.

Now they need to beat Pelicans and Mavs this week.

That rockets game isn’t exactly a guaranteed W either, with this team you never know

 

[CHAOSE57]

do better. Can’t blame this on a single person.

Everyone could have done something better. Onto the next one.

 

[htg designs]

we lost because of FTs.

Nah. Knicks legit just played harder.
THey got more rebounds. Simple as that

 

[Lizakers]

3 games in 4 nights they said
Brunson is out they said

Smh

 

[essential1]

4 way tie for 9th now.

I could blame it on Ham

 

[darthska]

I'm not sure if numbers support this, but it really seems like when we're playing a team that's down a crucial player and we SHOULD win, we don't, but when we're playing a team that we're chalking up as a sure loss, we at least stay in the game and have even won few of those.

This. Balls didn’t just bounce to them. They went and got the rebounds with HEART. plenty of times where they were aggressive and we were ball watching

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I tried to prepare yall for the letdown . Pick it back up on Tuesday

 

[tupac003]

Knicks played the way they needed to in order to get the win.

We didn't...

Just gotta play better next game.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Lakers 0-5 in the 4th quarter from three. Ntm couldn't make free throws lol

Should've gone inside to AD a lot more on offense, slow the game down to try and change the momentum, since NY was succeeding playing at a fast pace in the 4th getting to the rack at will.

Brainless.

[Hijo Del Promo]

Actually, I would like to apologize.

I used my powers for Michelle Yeoh to win the Asuka's

Forgot I did so, thats why we lost.

Dont worry, no Asuka's on Tuesday and ill put my powers to good use then.

I cant be Everywhere all at Once you know.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

AD floating and little to nothing from your Beasley/TB7/Vando rotation.

Still think Ham got too cute with his lineups resting DLo and AD together far too long at times particularly in the first when they had built a nice lil lead.

Sky's still the limit.

Unless Randle go for 40, we should have this game.

Same.

Didn’t think it would be self inflicting though.

 

[htg designs]

Pels and Rockets next. We gotta dust both them by like 20

 

[essential1]

Need to put shooting around DLo and AD.

Whether it’s Lonnie or Reaves. Who are the 2 best catch and shoot shooters for LA this year.

2/15 from 3 doesn’t help open up the floor for DLo and AD.

It’s the difference between losing by 4 and winning by 15. And AD having 3-4 more baskets.

Especially when you know Vando isn’t giving you anything on offense.

 

[drewsone]

AD 3 pts in the 2nd half hurt but

Think most of what cost the game was the 3 guard lineups and the zone lol

But yeah FTs and bricks too (Beas and TBJ like 4/20) lol

 

[geno90221]

They let a Damu down

 

[tay1]

AD 3 pts in the 2nd half hurt but

Think most of what cost the game was the 3 guard lineups and the zone lol

But yeah FTs and bricks too (Beas and TBJ like 4/20) lol

By no means is AD supposed to have 3 in a half

 

[htg designs]

Resting AD and DLO as the same time (with no Bron) aint good man

 

[Lizakers]

AD and Dlo combined for 50. That should be enough if Beasley doesn’t go 2-8 on threes and TBJ doesn’t go without a make. Those two players plus the FTs were tough to overcome

 

[frink85]

 

[tay1]

As long as he owns it. Come back strong on Tuesday.

 

[noblekane]

midas whale have played max christie and lonnie walker instead of brown and beasley.
