A King and an Empire: The Official GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers 2018-19 season

[O.T.I.S.]

I will say this in Lechokes defense, refs were terrible.... they treated LA like James Harden

A lot of things need addressing...


First of all, if Luke starts KCP one more time he needs his ass beat.

Second, sign Williams tonight. Like on the plane, get rid of Zu.

Third, If Lonzo takes one more pass at the rim he needs his ass beat. Decent game overall, he has no help on that Patty shyt and had been running through screens all day

4th. Defense needs adjusting immediately. It was downright awful at times. Our “star player” needs to lead by example on D.

5th... I really want to go in on this nikka Lebron. Everyone gonna look at his stats and say dumb shyt but if you watch the game he was atrocious for 90% of it. I was willing to drop it off that surprising 3 to overtime. He finally started getting calls so it was cool... until he missed BOTH FT’s

Then he was doing that Bron ball holding shyt wasting time off the clock... that’s not LA offense. Bust a move or give it up

Then that woat stepback... I wasn’t even mad at that. I was note mad at the FT’s


And if you didn’t watch the game then stfu... the young guys of Hart, Kuz, Zo, and Williams carried this team most of the entire game. Mcgee and Lance has great moments, Lebron decided to come to work in the last minute, but that was it

Unless Lakers are contenders by next year, zero reason to trade Ingram..yes Ingram might not fit Bron ball like Kuz but we are thinking beyond 4 years and Ingram can be that guy on both ends. This was Kuzma's first good game, I liked how he played most of it and didn't force shots..hopefully he does the same and not what he has been doing previously

 

[Torrential]

1)KCP should not get anymore minutes please trade him
2)give Williams and Zubac minutes at the 5
3)Josh Hart needs to be our starting shooting guard

Y’all think is beef? It’s coming. Kobe stans are holding their tongues (pause) and in wait and see mode. I can’t wait for the fukkery once Lebron fukks up in the clutch or does one of his passive aggressive social media hit jobs

 

[Regular_P]

You might be right. But at least give them a year together to mesh before we start talking about trading them.

Yeah, I wouldn't trade anybody now, just my spot reaction to what I've seen so far.

The reality though is if they do sign another max guy next summer like Kawhi, someone's getting moved because there won't be enough minutes for everyone.

Here's my hot take after the game: they can't keep both Kuzma and Ingram and personally, I believe Kuzma fits better than Ingram. BI is a jack of all trades, master of none. Kuzma can be an explosive scorer, especially like tonight when he's clearly comfortable with the starters. He just knows how to find his spaces and areas to put up points.

I've been saying that I like Kuzma more than Ingram since the offseason. Kuzma is just a more natural scorer than Ingram. Ingram has the better defense though.

wrong thread lol....lakers need AD in the worst tho...Magic bout to make some moves quickly

KCP is a waste. That money could have been used better. Start Hart as the SG. Kuz needs to start because he gels with Lebron, I think. Dunno where Ingram fits in. It looks like Zo is just going to be taking threes this season and playing a ton off the ball. Maybe his offensive game develops a bit. Still Bron and Rondo should not be so stingy with the ball.

 

[TheLostOnes]

Waking up and hearing we lost another gave because.....Bron couldn't hit his free throws

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I don't think sending KCP to the bench is the wisest move, as it'll only create more imbalance in the lineups - having Hart come off the bench gives y'all more opportunities to go on runs, and keeps the momentum from swinging beyond the point of no return. Whereas if you've got KCP coming off the bench with the likes of Lance, and other limited offensive players on the floor at the same time, y'all possessions are going to come to a dead-end more often than not.

You've just gotta hope that he breaks out of his slump (as LeBron's the only player who can help him get his groove back), and in the meantime, hope the rest of the starters pick up the slack.

 

[Reid2Achieve]

McGee, bless his heart, got shredded on defense despite the blocks.

Jonathan Williams is pretty much our best option as a big off the bench. I don’t want to see Kuz playing the 5 too much anymore. Zubac was BBQ chicken

This is the Kuzma I envisioned playing with Lebron. I think Ingram is better, but we need willing shooters to play with Lebron. Kuzma at least has some gravity because he will let that thang fly, knows how to get open off the ball, and is aggressive.

Lonzo is quietly having a great season so far. Keep trusting that shot, don’t hesistate. I just need him to stop passing on layups. Go in strong and don’t be afraid of free throws.

Other than Hart hacking jumpshooters, he has been incredible. Like @Gil Scott-Heroin says, KCP would be useless off the bench, so I understand why he starts. Hart can make an impact wherever you put him.
