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

[DLF]

hard to evaluate Ellington or any player when they aren’t given a consistent role and opportunity

Play Ellington 10 straight games for 12-15 minutes and I promise he’ll get in a rhythm and hit shots like he has his whole career. He goes from DNPs to starting lineup to bench role, it’s tough for anyone

I think the problem also is that the coach sees certain things that we just don’t. He may hit three threes in a game but he may give up seven easy baskets because of blown assignments that are hard to see on TV
Hence why he may be a vet min player

C CP1708 , do you remember our 90s coaches? Rhetorical question; of course you do. Who do you reasonably think we should have had as a coach?

Riley. We never should have divorced Riley.
He never should have ran the Knicks over us.

In terms of available back then.....Adelman would have been good. Dunleavy was ok. Del was decent, but everyone tuned him out per various books.

We gon see if that defensive effort against the Jazz was a fluke

So Riley I definitely get. Dunleavy, Adelman, Del, though? The only champs back then were Phil, Riley, & Rudy. Why them, with their 0 rings?

It seems your mockery of Mark Jackson, Van Gundy, George Karl is that they are not one of the 6 current coaches with rings period, which is confusing, unless I'm misunderstanding your mockery of them. And I'm not promoting them. I'm just saying I'm confused. Only those 6 coaches matter? Everyone else is equally laughable?

Daly was another, but likely unattainable.

Jackson isn't a good coach, and been broadcasting a decade.
Van Gundy was a good coach, broadcasting longer.
Karl is complete overrated trash.

Dunleavy/Adelman made finals with lesser teams than what we assembled. (Had Magic not retired, Dunleavy might have won in 92, adding Threatt and such......) They could have worked out, not guaranteed of course.

Del Harris might have won eventually, when Kobe wasn't a teenager anymore.

tht's ceiling is devean george without a jumper.

I have zero idea why Dwight hasn't been put back in this game yet...

 

[noblekane]

I wish bill macdonald would say something really offensive on air so the lakers would be forced to fire him.

 

[noblekane]

westbrook shooting the three like the rim is DLF face.

Need Jeanie to promote dog fighting

Lakers are fun tonight that’s nice. Almost forgot the feeing.

 

[DLF]

Westbrook hit him with an unnatural act.

Flagrant 2 and suspend him 2 games.

There’s no place for that in this beautiful game.

 

[noblekane]

man westbrook straight busted his nose open

 

[noblekane]

shoulda been 3 free throws for westbrook then a technical on westbrook.

 

[DLF]

2 games in a row

 

[tay1]

Defensive effort is looking really well. Aside from guarding the paint, but that’s expected with AD out.

 

[MVP]

Clean up the boards in the 2nd half

It feels great but also awful knowing this won’t last long.

 

[tupac003]

Low IQ dwight...

 

[tay1]

Vogel let’s the 3rd quarter lineups stay in too long when we’re struggling. He makes no changes until midway through the quarter.

Lakers 3rd Quarter™

 

[tupac003]

Start to pull away then give up 5 straight.

These guys love to make it hard.
