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

[tay1]

How old were you? First season I can remember was Kobe and Shaq's first season in 1996-97. The disappointment and embarrassment of 98 and 99 were still present. I don't know if a team or player could be patient through four years now like back then.

I was 7/8 in 2000.

 

[CP1708]

I was 7/8 in 2000.

Same.

 

[pmatic]

He meant 7 or 8 years old, not 78 years old.

 

[pmatic]

AR.

 

[moonman818]

That’s a good look for AR. A lot of times guys come back from these camps and level up

 

[moonman818]

I was too young to truly appreciate this run, but this would have been a top Laker experience for me.

My senior year of High school...

Remember this so vividly. Probably some of the best times of life at that time.

Dayum!!

I was in my mid 20's when Shaq won his 1st

 

[lovehateself]

Same.

In dog years ?

With all due respect

Miami did what we couldn't do, actually won a game against the Nuggets, in Denver no less

 

[MVP]

Trying to think of what was the biggest crowd outburst in Staples:

Kobe to Shaq G7
Horry vs Sac G4
Kobe vs Suns G4

Kobe's last game?

 

[sohi 23]

We should’ve forced Jokic to beat us as a scorer

 

[pmatic]

If D'Lo had average games and they get back on defense.

We woulda if we weren’t running on fumes. Playoff basketball since February will do that.

Always believed that’s the way to beat them. Let him take 49 shots. Shut rest of team down.

Kobe game winner vs PHX in 06.

I was there and between that and Game 7 2010, that's the loudest I heard Staples pop.

 

[grittyman]

That’s just ridiculous… but I guess there’s always a possibility for this type of offensive performance when you have consistent 3 point shooters on your roster

 

[MVP]

D'Lo being *** is the main reason we lost, period.

Artest game winner in 2010 in honorable mention



Still get goosebumps

 

[IslandBornRedNose]

Artest hitting that 3 during G7 against Boston too

 

[sohi 23]

I wouldn’t pin the loss on any 1 thing in particular

1. AD & Bron got outplayed by Jokic and Murray. More specifically, AD got killed by Jokic

2. Lebron fumbled 3 layups and couldn’t hit a 3

3. Dlo forgetting how to play basketball.

If any of these 1 things go differently, it’s a different series. But since we lost all 3 points, we got swept.

Heat did what we couldn’t, steal a home game in one of the first 2 matches. I feel like the series would’ve been way different if we had stole one of the first 2. Let’s see what Miami does going forward. Also no bro sizzle but playing Kevin Love was huge. Yeah he went 2/9 or whatever but he made a huge impact. From the buyout market!!!
