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

[SORIANOTRON]

1 game over .500

lets get greedy

 

[grittyman]

Thought everyone who played tonight had moments where they were productive, and good to see Austin look like his old self.

Season started tonight.

Shouts out to DLo too man …. These last few games he has settled in. Especially for getting as much hate as he does. He’s mentally tough man.

 

[ill 949]

3 mobile *** bigs for the Lebron-less minutes should be the formula. That **** gave us all the momentum in the 3rd and I wanna see more of it

 

[darthska]

I actually think we're gonna win tonight.

Bro I was just sitting here feeling good about tonight and wondering if I'm an idiot for that. Vegas has us favored 56%, for whatever that's worth.
Let's run it!

 

[darthska]

I loved Wood in there w/ AD on the closeout squad. That huge block on Zubac at the rim, and a MONSTER baseline rebound dunk off a missed 3.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Lakers beat a playoff team in the Clippers tonight without 3-point shooter Prince AND without Rui, their best scorer off the bench who also makes threes.

Is the identity of this team one of 3-point shooting or one of imposing their size advantage on opponents?

Time to send Darvin an email to congratulate him. He put Wood back in way too late, but just in time.

In due time Lakers will start 2 bigs and it should happen a lot more than 10x this year.

 

[drewsone]

wood has been good defensively and at rebounding
think we found something with that weird 3 big line up for some teams cuz ad / wood can switch on to big wings and hayes be the rim protector lol

cam has been decent on defense too. competes but biggest takeawy i got from him tonight was him helping secure a lot of the 50/50 balls

Thought Cam was really good on defense overall… played about as great defense as you can on Kawhi/PG one on one, got a couple steals and some deflections. Wood played very solid defense and he’s fast enough to keep up with wings who aren’t very quick like KD and Kawhi.

Shoutout to the late great Allan Malamud.......

This is the way to #18.....

TBH he just got that target oh his back, cats love to hate him and I get it

but man, the kid is a BALLER no doubt.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

This finna be good

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

All this annoying talk about big lineups, gotta give credit where credit is due

We need DLo to be just as consistent as CWood both on offense and on defense. Imagine the possibilities.

 

[darthska]

Brosizzlew30.23 'bout to have his whole shirt off in here.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Who's minutes get cut when Vando come back is the question cuz it ain't gon be Wood. Especially if ain't hitting corner 3's. At least Cam can hit ft's and Hayes can catch a lob here and there.

 

[noblekane]

3 mobile *** bigs for the Lebron-less minutes should be the formula. That **** gave us all the momentum in the 3rd and I wanna see more of it

probably wont happen again unless prince, rui, vando, and vincent are all out again.

ham only played 8 guys tonight due to injuries.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Brosizzlew30.23 'bout to have his whole shirt off in here.

Shirt been been off in this hotel room

Elated for the W. Elated that Ham made the right choice in the 3rd and in OT.

We can all sleep well tonight knowing we 3-2 instead of 2-3 with a 12 game L streak to the Clips.

i just hope I wake up for my flight back to LA in 4 hours lol

Vando and that bargain contract may well end up getting traded come Feb if Reddish steals his spotlight

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Brosizzlew30.23 'bout to have his whole shirt off in here.

He been making some sense so far

3 Center lineup vs Denver? Brosizzlew30.23

hayes has yet to catch a lob yet in regular season.

hes not very good

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

3 Center lineup vs Denver? Brosizzlew30.23

Hayes trying to make it as difficult as possible on the Joker

AD (Advantage Davis) on AG

CWood and that length on the 6'10" MPJ

Indeed. For stretches.

but the starters vs DEN should be imo

DLo vs Murray
Prince vs KCP
Bron vs MPJ
AD vs AG
Wood or Hayes vs Joker

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

hayes has yet to catch a lob yet in regular season.

hes not very good

Wrong again

We know that the first step to acceptance is denial.

And we know you really mean Damian Jones is not very good

 

[pdino]

Wood got to start or play 25+ minutes. Much needed good rebounder. He’s legit

Cam reddish bought-in to being a role player

Rotation gonna be real interesting when Vando, Rui, Prince, Gabe Vincent all back. This year have some depth when guys are out

 

[noblekane]

Wrong again

And we know you really mean Damian Jones is not very good

I hate to break it to you but jaxson hayes and damian jones stats this year are damn near identical.

 

[reconic supreme]

woods looks to be shedding his selfish scorer rep

bro is doing all the Lakers wet work so far
