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

[pmatic]

Let's get the ball to AD more.

 

[essential1]

Going to try to use MPJ at the hoop with DLo on him.

DLo is big enough arm length to contest 3s. Not big enough body wise under the hoop.

I’ll take 2s over 3s.

 

[CHAOSE57]

Okay we are getting calls, keep attacking.

 

[pmatic]

Stop the ball.

 

[tupac003]

Still not stopping the ball.

How long is Bruce Brown gonna parade to the rim!?!? Stop him.

 

[essential1]

Reaves doing wayyyy too much.

Slow down.

 

[D StaXX]

AR too trigger happy.
We need to slow this game all the way down.

 

[CHAOSE57]

Yeah we slow the pace down, it’s our game. We can’t play into the way they want to do it.

 

[pmatic]

Bron load managing unless he finds transition opportunities. Otherwise see him in the second half.

 

[tupac003]

A few bad turnovers and offensive rebound got the Nuggets right back in this.

Take care of the damn ball, STOP THE DAMN DRIVES TO THE BASKET, AND GRAB A DAMN REBOUND!!!

 

[trynafeelmink]

Yea are guards gotta chill on the pullups we have a
Size advantage

 

[essential1]

3 guard lineup. Uh oh.

 

[pmatic]

Schroder finds the Jokic mismatch and dribbles around for 10 seconds for nothing

 

[essential1]

Reaves being aggressive. I’ll take it. But it’s been mediocre results after a hot start.

 

[frink85]

this pace is stupid. slow the f down.

 

[pmatic]

Bron was not a fan of that last D'Lo pull up three.

 

[CHAOSE57]

Bron looks like he is conserving his energy.

 

[akajae]

Didn’t like that second three from dlo. Looked like Lebron didn’t either lol

 

[sohi 23]

Bron & AD have 2 shot attempts so far.
Dlo missed Bron on that 2nd three.

Good start though.

 

[tupac003]

Bron looks like he is conserving his energy.

If that means no stupid pull up 3's in crunch time...I'll take it.

 

[essential1]

It’s a shot he takes. If he feels he’s on. Let him take it.

It’s minimal downside at least in this point of the game.

He misses, there’s no way for it to lead to a transition score because the defense is set.
If he makes it. It’s a spirit breaker for the other team and it usually means he’s about to go on a run.

 

[darthska]

Nice start. I like it.

So farThthe team leading in rebounding is winning. Sure, the rebound edge is only 9-7 and the lead is only 23-20, but the team with more rebounds is winning.

Also, The way Jokic started rebounding last game, we've definitely addressed that.

 

[tupac003]

That's not flagrant.

 

[thasoleful1]

Soft asf, he a cone huh Nuggets?

 

[laker4lifeman]

Clean play you bums
