2 of Amerika’s Most Wanted: The Official GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers 2019-2020 season thread

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I spent all my VC shytting on Steph, Draymond and the Warriors. Nikka I’m drained

Give me some time. I got a few bangers in mind. It’s only November. Either way next thread is about Ingram. I got some shyt for the haters

Exerted all that energy only to make yourself look like a cotdamn fool who breaks character once the pressure gets too much.

Do you sacrifice great endings for great beginnings?

Oh Dwight can start and finish if line up calls upon it ...but...kuz is ending the games...

Once he comes to shape....the floor will be wide open for Bron and AD

Ultimately it will be situational, but I like the ruggedness Howard brings at the end of games.

mcgee kcp (i know ntc) cook and dudley can they get us gallo?and then maybe we pick up jamal and jr and melo?

i honestly haven't had an opinion on the Vogel hire either way since he was hired, since i always expect a little drama with LeBron especially with Kidd there in the waiting, but he's actually made adjustments so far that i respect.

i also gotta assume that LeBron respects him a little bit because his past teams had those Heat teams on the ropes a couple times in Bron's prime.

i hope he continues to impress because i'm not looking forward to head coach drama or Jason Kidd.

4 game winning streak to start the season. We can get better too. Our max winning streaks were 4 last year only twice if I remember right

Kuzma footwork on defense looks un-saveable. he too stiff (pause)

but on offense his footwork is rather fluid (pause)

I don’t get it

Only takes 4 game streaks to win a title

It's a whole skill in itself which he probably hasn't worked on as much

It's also a mindset thing I imagine

Breh I am not surprised. Vogel is a vet coach and the lakers have put together one of the best staffs (if not the best coaching staff in the league). The assiatant coaches have spent many years as coaches themselves.

This aint luke and his coaching staff.

He is the reason for the slow starts...needs to be benched .

I was telling ya'all since the moment Dwight was signed that he taking that spot.

But I dunno if McGee needs to be moved out of the starting lineup now. Slow starts aren't a big problem yet. If McGee has to play 15 minutes (and I doubt you want Dwight playing 35), might as well have half of them at the beginning of the game, if that keeps him from causing a disruption.

I don't know if Kuzma needs to be in the crunch time lineup either like some people are saying. What does he even add to your crunchtime squad? Let him take over the scoring when LeBron or AD are sitting, but you can't let his defense and poor spot-up shooting be a liability in the clutch.

Depending on who you're facing the crunch lineup should be LeBron-AD-Dwight and two 3-and-D shooters or LeBron-AD and three shooters. It's possible in the 2nd lineup you could replace one of those shooters with a 2nd ballhandler/creator, but Kuzma doesn't really see guys well enough to fill that role either.

mcgee kcp (i know ntc) cook and dudley can they get us gallo?and then maybe we pick up jamal and jr and melo?

There ain't a front office in the NBA that thinks Jamal/JR/Melo would be a good bench for a championship squad.

Lakers shouldn't want any of those guys. The only things this team is missing are a reliable 2nd ballhander/creator besides LeBron, a backup forward who can play defense and stretch the floor, and a better 2nd center than McGee. With LeBron/AD/Kuzma and all the shooters they have more than enough scoring, they need ballhandling and defense.
