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

[denni5themenace]

Id be less optimistic if the lakers were blown out both games with nuggets having answers to every adjustment. But still think lakers extend this series

Those Bron 3’s are fatigue shots…settling

Not sure how many minutes he played in the second half but spent a lot of time on ball and guarding Joker. Probably too much to ask at this point in his career.

I love Rui’s offense, but he’s played 58 minutes this series and has grabbed a whopping 2 rebounds. If he’s going to play that much he has to be better.

On to LA…

He should move the ball then. He shooting trash from 3 all playoffs and you gon keep shooting bad shots while Denver going on a run.

If he’s fatigued let someone else take the shot is throwing up 3s with fatigue a good basketball play ?

Never said they were good shots.

But it’s pretty impossible to operate from the perimeter and just drive all game long. I said last game I didn’t love the Lebron threes at the end of that game but it is what it is. He took 6 shots in the qtr, 3 threes and 3 twos.

Murray went supernova and took the game over in the 4th. Bron and AD couldn’t match that level of shotmaking…ball game.

Like the Lakers chances at home but they are going to have to win a game in Denver at some point, and that means both stars have to show up big time.

This is LeBron we’re talking about right

He was sharing the floor with Rui (great game), Vando (defense doesn't care about him), Lonnie (DNP for three months until last series) and Schroder (can't create for others at all). He needed D'Lo or Reaves out there to help the halfcourt offense.

 

[Dhizzle]

They won the play in by lebron not settling for the 3 and going in. Same with MEM and GSW. Why he keeps settling for the 3 now and not passing it like he did in the 1st half is mind blowing

Who else would you like taking more shots instead of Lebron?

 

[purpnyellow]

The “greatest” basketball mind shoots 3s because he’s fatigued

 

[tupac003]

Just mixed up a long Island...

Watching the Spectrum post game....

Trying my hardest to calm down.

 

[Dhizzle]

I just wish someone has the balls to yell at the dude and tell him to share the damn ball! So frustrating to lose both games from a high IQ MFer

AR

 

[drewsone]

dennis/lonnie/rui/vando/bron lineup on the floor when bron took them stupid *** 3s

why do we do lineups like this man lol

 

[purpnyellow]

I’ll take rui Reaves dlo if the shots Lebrons taking ain’t attacking the paint or from the post I don’t want them

 

[tupac003]

It's not about anyone taking more shots.

It's about players taking the right shots.

And Malone getting his shots off...and he ain't wrong.

Get a better shot.

 

[drewsone]

dlo offense pretty trash
and now with the mike malone comments and bruce brown beef its 100% in his head lol

AR the only shooter we got man lol

 

[maxelite]

LeBron washed, AD no good!! Never want to hear Lebum in the goat talk!! Pleaseeee!!

 

[tupac003]

 

[CHAOSE57]

Lebron could have slowed the pace down. Iirc we were in the lead. It’s not like he was hot from beyond the arc too.

 

[grittyman]

Too many quotes to reply to them all…

Just for the record, never said those 3’s were good shots… but when you’re fatigued you settle AND make questionable decisions.

That’s not a defense of what happened, just an observation.

Anyhow, on to game 3.

 

[thasoleful1]

Man AD really **** the bed 4-15, a decent offensive game and we win

 

[Mister Meaner]

He’s a shooter & ain’t no one fitna tell him otherwise

^ bron bron

Nobody
