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

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

I think the AD destroyed whatever chemistry the team was buildin. the young dudes gettin some unnecessary hate.

Feel like LA was better to just keep draftin like Philly n trust the process.

n Bron was better off stayin in Cleveland.


"Went from the Finals to no playoffs at all"-

Cleveland wasn’t really any better though. Remember how bad they looked every round of the playoffs last year? Through the eastern conference playoffs, his best teammate was a 37 year old white guy who couldn’t pass, dribble, or defend that was averaging 9 points. Then that guy went and shot some 10% in the finals. They also were all capped out.

Lol y’all fools blew it. Had a real nice core of young dudes. Even without DRussel, made real progress last season. Had the greatest win increase from the previous season. Was on the right track. Young boys was having growing pains and still moving in the right direction. I feel bad for magic cuz he really couldn’t say no to Lebron if he wanted to. He would’ve been crucified.

Greg Anthony is shytting on Ingram right now for his lack of defense last night.

Bum need to stfu and go pay for some more ass from a undercover cop. I miss tired of these talking heads blaming all the young dudes instead of Bron and the vets. BI been. Along yet you got this dude calling him out lol

[Azarly] Zubac when asked if he pays attention to the Lakers: "I’ve been watching almost every game, I feel like every time I watch them, I’m like, ‘Damn, if I was there, I would help them. I would definitely make a difference on the floor, you know, but they’re not my team anymore."

fukk Magic

If LA finishes with 42 wins that would be 7 more than last season despite missing more man games due to injury and having a flawed roster.

 

[Sccit]

nikkas didn't know how good we had it with Mitch. That D'Lo, Ingram, Randle, Zubac core he put together was looking to be solid in a few years.. and Magic traded it all away for Beasley, Stephenson and Mike Muscala

I ALWAYS LIKED MITCH .. HE DID A LOT IN HIS REIGN AND HE WAS GREAT AT DRAFTING. HE GOT A BAD WRAP DURING THE END OF HIS TENURE, BUT IT WASNT REALLY HIS FAULT WE SUCKED. LOOK AT THE HORNETS, THEY BOUT 2 MAKE THE DAMN PLAYOFFS UNDER HIM.

IM NOT COMPLETELY GIVIN UP ON MAGIC, BUT THE WAY HE’S BEEN COWERING TO LEBRON IS MAKIN THINK TWICE

 

[Sccit]

Players should know better than to talk shyt to Lebron( A team Lebron is on)....This comment could come back to bite the Clippers.

LOL THIS AINT KOBE FOOL

LEBRON MIGHT TAKE THE GAME OFF BECAUSE OF THAT COMMENT

But they're on pace for 38 or 39 wins.

Based on the way Lebron/Imgram are playing offensively I think LA can close the season with 12-14 more wins. Win both games versus the Clippers and go 10-7 minimum in the remaining 17 games.


Call me an optimist, but I believe the Lakers will win their next 4 gms (LAC,Den,Bos,Chi)...and the Clippers will lose 3 out of 4 (LAL,OKC,Bos,Por)....My biggest concern is the Chicago game. These young teams have nothing to lose and are playing LA as if it's game 7 of the finals.

What on Earth have you seen in the last 6 weeks that has you believing this team will rattle off 4 straight?? We were making up for our lack of shooting with defense and pace and we don’t do either anymore. Nobody on this team is an effective defender besides Lonzo and he is probably 2-3 weeks away at best (if he even returns). We have no size. We have no sprit/reliability on the bench. The vets have essentially quit (especially on the road).

It’s over breh.

That doesn’t mean you trade him for a bum like muscala. No excuses, flabgic and co are terrible and we have the worst front office in the league. Free agents watching all this but we supposed to think we gon score? No one gives a fukk about Lakers prestige, just run the team competently instead of this stupid shyt.

I hope and pray Zu drops 40+ on McGee head tonight. fukk this team I want heads to roll.

If he knew he couldn't pay Zubac. He should've:

A) Traded him before the season started.

B) Traded him to another team not named the Clippers.

C) Let him play out the season with the Lakers.
