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

[DLF]

idiot franchise doing idiot things

 

[essential1]

If they lose. I swear to god.

 

[tupac003]

Damn just heard Ham say AD won't play...smh

 

[UsualSuspects]

Lebron getting ready to eff up the chemistry

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I'm stealing this

 

[drewsone]

damn lol
tmrw gonna be annoying

 

[Lizakers]

Sengun will get 55

 

[htg designs]

Want AD to play but we should be able to be the Rockets without him

 

[tay1]

Utah don't play again until Saturday.

 

[pmatic]

Jabari Smith been starting center with Sengun out, so that might be able to get away with starting Vando and Rui up front tomorrow.

I would still find a tall human being in Houston and sign him.

 

[sohi 23]

Unfortunately, I think resting AD is the right move.
Dallas is on Friday and is the 3rd game in 4 nights.

A refreshed AD for that game is necessary. We need him to dominate on Friday like he did in the first half today.

The way the Lakers have been playing and given what we’re playing for, our bench squad should beat the tanking Rockets.

Like p said tho, they should’ve signed a big to a 10 day

 

[essential1]

There’s no reason not to play him 20-25 minutes

Give AD the choice at least.

 

[thasoleful1]

AD not playing and we still haven’t signed a big? Good luck Wenyen

 

[reconic supreme]

Anyone’s ballgame I get it but cmon, that’s a 15-52 team.

If Lakers lose to the rockets we deserve all the ether even without Davis.

 

[Lizakers]

Is not signing a big a money saving move?

 

[tupac003]

It's interesting because I feel if it was Lebron in this situation he would play...

I get the medical staff had a plan but if AD is pain free and wants to play...he should.

 

[essential1]

More than anything, the problem is they knew this game was coming up. And they didn’t sign a big.

Cost them a few hundred K pro-rated.

 

[pmatic]

Moses Brown pls.

 

[tay1]

At this point, AD should probably rest 1 out of every 5 games. Give his fragile bones whenever he can get it.

 

[thasoleful1]

Ham def playing zone tomorrow

 

[sohi 23]

Moses Brown pls.

Needed to have him on a plane as soon as that Shams tweet hit

 

[sohi 23]

The Lakers are now in 7-8 range. To get into the 6th and avoid the play in, we have to hawk one of:

The Suns - 3 games back (2 games left, both at home)

Warriors - 2 games back (we own the tiebreaker, no more games left)

Clippers - 2 games back (we have 1 game left)

Hate to put the cart before the horse, but on the other hand, a spiraling Nuggets team or wounded Grizzlies would be the likely options with a 7-8 finish.

 

[frink85]

Sengun will get 55

eye remember...

worst announcer gotta be Ireland, he needs to mix in some synonyms every action is "dribbles left..." "dribbles right..." "pass to the corner..." "moves top of the key..." and since he's on radio it's 100x worse

 

[essential1]

Looked at the last B2B (no DLo, no AD)

Mo started at 5 22 minutes. Wenyen 22 minutes.
Vando at the 4 23 minutes. Rui 27 minutes.

Insane they didn’t get a center when Mo went down.
