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

[grittyman]

The guy gets the easiest assignment every night and can't even bother to match up properly and run out for a decent contest.

Welcome to the dark side brother

This has been one helluva year already and we’re just getting started lol

Did you tell him before or after he got done making your coffee?

LOL
Was leaving Noah's. He's actually always up for a chat if you catch him in the wild.

 

[darthska]

We just never saw a tantrum on the sideline during the process

Nah, I'm not calling that a temper tantrum.
We get frustrated AF with D-Low in here, and the only thing he affects is our fan relationship with the Lakers.
D-Low being trash makes JJ's job harder.
Please tell me you're not one of these types that thinks that the only appropriate show of emotion is no show of emotion.

No.

I mean we could call it whatever, no argument from me about that. Not that I really mind what he did, the most part I just thought it was funny. Some of these players are major divas though, so if it was me I’d probably wait until we were in the locker room or maybe a film session and get in his behind (pause).

My original point was just because we don’t have access to seeing everything that goes on we shouldn’t assume that it isn’t happening. A coach could tell a player we need you to do x, y, z on the floor and if you only do x and z but not y then you will be catching splinters on bench

It's so funny to me how people can see the same story and have 2 completely different perspectives.
This is absolutely bananas, but it's wild to me that people would even think that he's just mailing it in.
I've noticed that people with the latter opinion have the athletic acumen, ability, and history of a three-toed sloth.

JJ fires at Gabe... but not really.

Ok, full transparency: not a fan of this stuff.
In house; this is the way.

 

[pmatic]

Home game. Hobbled Sixers. Dodgers present.

Get a win.

 

[MVP]

AD the only one who wants to defend. If AD out, Lakers one of the worst defenses in the league

We're one of the worst WITH him being an all world one and arguably the best in the league.

Team is so mid it's not even funny.

 

[grittyman]

I don’t care about the Ham part… but only posting because of when he said what are you supposed to do with this roster?

I know JR was high outta his mind lol but he’s a functioning stoner that has won on a high level so I value his opinion on this one…

 

[grittyman]

“Let Cam run the second unit” ….. or “AD play when he play”… the man has missed one game

The chronic was def talking for him a few times in that segment.

Here comes the BS trades.

Zero expectations

 

[Lizakers]

He’s missed 13% of the season

They're going to have to break that backcourt up to have any chance.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

If your going to trade AR the return(s) has to be over 6'6"

NO MORE SHORT GUARDS

Don't think it's a size deficit as much as an athleticism deficit.

Both guys are 6'4-6'5 which is fine.

Said during preseason I wasn’t sure how much DK would play if he wasn’t doing things besides scoring… ya know, typical role player stuff like defending and rebounding

 

[darthska]

DLow down bad.
"It's a good thing there's someone on the team who hasn't even played 10 NBA games yet. DLow is right there with that guy."
