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

[noblekane]

tough loss man

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Good job. Good effort

 

[DLF]

nice effort. First quarter killed them. Nance to start is tricky because he cannot hit a shot to save his life and if Ingram continues to struggle, its really just Lopez and KCP to score.

 

[mj 23]

When zo came in the game, we lost the lead.

 

[fearless]

Im ok with this loss. So damn close

 

[MVP]

Good effort, lack of execution and some lucky shots by Moore at the end.

 

[Lizakers]

Dante Cunningham look like a skeleton with skin

 

[CP1708]

They have Anthony Davis. We do not.

 

[WAKKO!]

We just don't have a good half court offense

 

[DLF]

We just don't have a good half court offense

this


coming back from a big deficit with nothing to lose playing loose is not the hard part. The hard part is playing tied with 2 minutes left in the half court. We struggled last year and are worse this year. ingram was suppose to be that guy for us there but not looking good so far.

 

[purpnyellow]

Tough loss kcp clarkson kuzma and josh put in work today great effort by randle in the 2nd half

 

[delete1234]

Yeah if Randle can play like that 2nd half, the majority of games, we would be aiight

 

[tay1]

Can't wait for Clarkson to be that go to player for when we need buckets

 

[krazyrodzilla]

Zo 14/9/9 first 3 games! Shot not really falling right now. Assist and rebounds on point.

 

[mr j 858]

Each of the first 2 loses this season has mainly been because of BI and the starters just can't hit a shot at the start of the game.

Also Lonzo tonight shot horrbily mid range, 3's, even his runner floater layups were just bad.

 

[cruzair13]

First 3 quarters were ugly.
Good run to actually take the lead and to show some heart.
KCP is a good two-way player.
Just sucks that there is no knock down shooter on this team, swaggy come back.
I noticed it against the nuggets/every teams shoot lights out or our defense is that bad.

 

[noblekane]

who was the last rookie to average a triple double?

I think the tandems of Blake/DJ and AD/boogie deserve credit as to why we lost

 

[laker4lifeman]

Adonal Foyle

This...did y’all see those assists too? this is how he was balling from the jump. If his 3 point is falling his numbers look really nice. He makes 2 point shots with ease.

Lakers should have been focusing on making him that dude. Instead we were playing the “let’s give everybody 20 min a game” crap.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Randle also set much better screens tonite. Moving without the ball on offense and not forcing as much. Luke seems to be getting thru to him

JC looking like a progression of his rookie year instead of the regression he's been in the past two seasons

 

[VinMillerHearn58]

Good fight from the boys. Coming back from what, 22 points down.

 

[lovehateself]

who was the last rookie to average a triple double?

Don't think there has been a rookie to do this
Hell big O and Westbrook are the only ones to do so for a season iirc

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I think the tandems of Blake/DJ and AD/boogie deserve credit as to why we lost

Maybe so but our offense looked like straight dog **** against lac and to start this one. I'm talking schematics

 

[tonelow]

Moore hit two crazy shots, jameer hit a ridiculous 3, lonzo missed an open 3 and got blocked on the fast break when he should have thrown the lob to randle. Kuzma also forced a couple 3s.

Happy we fought back, Zo and Kuz got some valuable late game experience.

I agree with the issues starting games, don't think we can start BI and Larry.

We have a really tough schedule, could start 1-5.
