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

[MoneyTron]

They can beat any team but they can lose to any team. Don't count em out...too much money to be made by them making the playoffs. Don't doubt fukkery from occurring. I can tell you from experience to not count LeBron out

Too late for that breh. They’d be blowing out these trash teams if that was the case.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

The blown last minute calls vs Memphis and Last night vs suns should tell you the league aint want them in the playoffs.

Believe that if you want to. No way that last line is true.

you making it sound the league will go out of its way to get bron in the playoffs when repeated evidence shows its not true.

You're right. I just don't see him not getting in until it's mathematically impossible.

With declining ratings, you really think the league wants it cash cow out the postseason. Think about that.

Also let it be known that the lakers aren’t the only team to be victims of bad calls. All the contending teams goin through it. The refs are just horrible this year.

I don't buy it.

It would be a bigger deal if he missed the playoffs in the Eastern Conference as far as ratings goes.

Nah, the long Lebron injury, Luke being a terrible coach and this roster not being built with any semblence of intelligence is the issue. Even if it was in the East this year, it would be in the same situation so your argument is a jump off with no thought behind it. This mess is regardless of division or conference

Except the narrative is Lebron can take anybody to the finals cause he’s coasted in the East despite his team having injuries, bad coaching and having terrible teams at times like he did last year

This season defeats that theory that Lebron can lead just anybody to the finals. Even with the injuries, most of the team is back now except lonzo and we still losing. Lebron is putting up his usual numbers we are still losing.


In 2008-2009, Lebron won 66 games with Mo Williams and Delante west as his 2nd and 3rd options, so don’t give me that “his team terrible” excuses cause according to bron stans, his teams has been been terrible most of the time and the coaching has always been questionable, yet it was never this bad. This man took a G-league team to the finals last year. That’s not happening in the West until we get more help this off season.

Plenty of players get injured and miss games. The warriors had a losing streak as well when’s steph went down for a certain stretch(I’m not comparing the lakers to the Warriors, just making a point) point is he’s back, along with most of the team except lonzo and we are still losing. Every game is now fight for the death. This was never the case in the East for him. I’ll give you him being injured for 18 games, but he has had garbage teammates, teammates missing playoff games, this man had a whole finals series with Matthew dellavadova as his second best player.

It was never once this bad for him and he has had terrible teams and questionable coaching. This man had 60 win season with boogie Gibson as his second best player.

There’s no structure there. These guys don’t play for Lebron. The vets are even worst than the young guys. McGee was solid before the injury but since he came back, he been back to Shaqtin-a-fool on a nightly basis. Rondo be shaqtin too. Lance has the most bipolar player performance in the team. KCP is a wildcard. Dude takes hero brick shots at the wrong damn time. The production and effort is just too inconsistent from game to game from anybody not name Lebron and Ingram. The role players for the lakers just don’t know their roles and play their part. Only lonzo Ingram and Lebron know(and stay) in their lanes. At this point. And how devastating his season been , you just have to hand over the keys to LeGM and let him run this team the way he wants to. It’s better than what’s happening now. They need a backup plan in case they don’t anyhony Davis. Since Phoenix wants Ball so much, see if you can snatch Booker away for a light package

Not really that hard to do to be honest.

That's assuming the 7 and 8th seed start losing out they only need 7 wins to get to that number while the lakers need 14.

Except this Lebron at year 16 coming off a major injury. If he was playing at the level he did last season this team would be in the playoffs despite him missing 20 games. He’s clearly a shell of his former self. Before his injury the Lakers were handily beating teams like Utah, Blazers, Warriors, Nuggets, Pacers, Kings. Now they’re struggling to beat Memphis, Pelicans without AD, and Phoenix.

Good point.

 

[Reid2Achieve]

I love how Magic and Rob will tweet or puff out their chests when things are going well or after a big win but are invisible when the sky is falling.

 

[who_better_than_me]

Meh lakers will make one final run to put themselves in position to get a playoff spot. I just can’t imagine them bowing out. They just got to stop losing to bad teams. But they’ll go on a 5-6 game winnings streak sometime soon. Otherwise Lebron is justified for wanting to gut this roster and get AD.

Plus I want to see Lebron and GSW in the first round

 

[Reid2Achieve]

I don’t even want to make the playoffs. Everybody involved needs to eat this L.

 

[Flex Luger]

I wanna see if these talking heads gone keep blaming the young guys even though they've been playing well. Seems like their afraid to blame the so called "vets" on the team for some reason.
