[lovehateself]

Maybe vs Toronto

if you’re thinking the 81pt. game, he did that wearing #8

my money is on this being a playoff game versus the suns

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

For a 50+ year old dude you got some wild high school twitter fingers takes man.

That's what they said when 4 years ago I was telling folks that Bron and Boogie would eventually be Lakers.

Be patient. Lakers always get their man

Naw not the 81.

I was thinking the game at home vs Raptors when Kobe brought us back with multiple 3s in the last couple min and we won in OT I believe.

Can someone tell me which game this is from?

9:45

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Kawhi was too much of a b**** to play next to Lebron.

Dont forget to show me pics of Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Pau, and AD though

Alexa, why does ALA exist?

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Wrong on so many levels. This is the way The Standard does it.

Expectation: Win Championships By Signing or Trading For the Best of the Best

Reality: 16 of them

Proof: Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Gasol, AD


Any more questions on how to build dynasties?

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

yeah Lavine for Kuz and Danny Green sounds good

It will look a lot better once Lavine demands the trade after yet another losing season.

Thanks a lot man..

 

[rolaholic]

These kids are different man...

League is in great hands with the likes of Luka and so many of the younger guys

 

[ahat]

Zee on

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

The talent level, athleticism, and skill of today's and future NBA is just flat out amazing.

You look at Giannis, Luka, Zion, Ja, Trae, Steph, Dame, AD, etc and you see a variety of player-types that just astonish you.

Zion like a Barkley-Lebron clone. Trae got that Steph-Zeke swag to his game and is arguably craftier with the ball than those two. Giannis is a whole new prototype T-1000000 lol. Then you got Luka, who gives me that perfect cross between Magic-Bird.

They get better, faster, stronger and more athletic with each generation and once more and more players learn how to use #mambamentality in their approach to life and to the game of basketball, we will then witness a beauty to the game that's never before been unleashed.

I’d probably trade Green and Kuz for LaVine but I’m not really a LaVine fan like that. He’d prolly play better with Bron & AD but idk he doesn’t play winning basketball to me.

1. The Milwaukee Bucks' first 54 games featured an average margin of victory of 12.11 points. That's the highest such figure since the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, and it's on pace to be the fourth-best in NBA history.
   It doesn't guarantee the Bucks a ring, but it comes awfully close.
   Of the 11 teams that previously finished a season with a double-digit average MOV, eight wound up winning that year's championship. Even the exceptions to the rule validate the historic status of this season's Bucks.
   The three non-title-winning "disappointments:"
   • A 1971-72 Bucks team that posted the sixth-highest MOV of all time and fell in the Western Conference Finals to the 1971-72 Lakers, who rank first on the list.
   • The 2015-16 Golden State Warriors, who won a record 73 games and owned a 3-1 Finals edge before collapsing under the weight of injury, suspension and LeBron James' brilliance.
   • The oft-forgotten 2015-16 San Antonio Spurs, whose average MOV of 10.63 ranks ninth all-time. They couldn't get past an Oklahoma City Thunder team that held a 3-1 Western Conference Finals advantage on those aforementioned 73-9 Warriors.
2. If you're beating teams as soundly as Milwaukee did before the All-Star break, history says the only things that keep you from a title are playoff clashes with another historically dominant opponent...or LeBron James.

Based on what you presented here there's a high probability it's going to be Bucks-Lakers in the Finals then.

"Kareem's former team against Giannis' future team." Lol

Nice find. It’d be a failure to not reach the finals at this point

I think Lavine would thrive and flourish if surrounded by winners and vets.

Ray Allen for years couldn't win with Rashard Lewis in Seattle and with Big Dog Robinson in Milwaukee. Soon as he went to Bos and played next to some hungry winners and vets, next thing you know Allen's game evolves and he wins his ring while still being a threat to score 20-25 nightly.

I would trade Kuz and Green without hesitation, especially if Kuz is mediocre and still inconsistent in this year's postseason.

If Kuz plays lights out and averages 20 while playing above avg D, I think twice about moving him for Zach.

Nice bro what about the 50 other superstars the Lakers were supposed to get over the last 10 years? That’s what’s up though that you guys were able to get Cousins after three season ending injuries and 35 year old LeBron that came for his post career opportunities. All your assets were drained with the AD trade, Lavine ain’t happening unless it’s as a free agent in three years when LeBron is possibly retired.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Indiana my sleeper team in the East. They the type of squad who can 'upset' a team like Boston or Philly in the playoffs but it wouldn't really be an upset cause Pacers got squad

And that's why the Lakers have more championships AND trips to the Finals than any other team BY FAR in the modern era.

What if the fact that we signed an older version of Boogie and Lebron to team up with young AD leads to 1 or 2 championships? Sounds like a successful venture to me.

When you're the Lakers, you know you have the goods to consistently deliver chips and build championship teams around your core superstars. History suggest so and it suggests it mightily decade after decade. So why wouldn't you try to recruit every single star you think you can build around?

We may have missed 50 free agents stars, but the ones we dont miss on.....

10 chips in the last 40 years bro. That's a quarter of the time, we win it all. No other team comes close, and that's why the Lakers are The Standard and why everyone else hates us enough...so much so that they create such things as "ALA"

At the end of the day, it's the Lakers and Spurs (not small ball, not GSW, not the Bulls or Celtics) that hold THE true blueprint for sustained championship success.

Which means, if Lavine is on Pelinka's board...there's a good chance Chicago gets persuaded to send him back home because the Lakers have done things like this before
