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.

We play up or down to the competition, and 3 of the next 4 are at home.

2nd game of a back to back for the Clippers....LA will be desperate for a win.

Boston has lost 5 out of 6...Rondo/Lebron always get up for the Celtics.

I'm not sold on Denver, They have a 15-14 road record

Chicago is bad, but that's the game that scares me the most.

Breh, you’re a real positive dude I gotta give you props. But some of us been stanning the Lakers for years. We seen five championships. From top to bottom ain’t none of this shyt going on right now familiar.

Could this team mobilize and drag itself to the playoffs? Sure. But with both bad and good teams getting up to play us that puts the pressure at a point that constantly crushes this team in the end. I’m already done this year, I just want Jeanie, Magic, and Rob shipped off to Siberia and for Jesse Buss to take over. He’s the most like Doc and he’s actually been working on the basketball side for years. That’s our championship this year, that’s my free agency hopes cuz I know damn well ain’t no worthwhile players gon join this glamorous dumpster fire.

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.
i agree with everything you said BUT

i want to be hopeful that FA will now see themselves as contributing members or even the best player on the team and not LBJ sidekicks...

with the season completely going to shyt.. why wouldnt KD join? he would be the best player in there..
why wouldnt Kyrie join? he would finally get to be a SG and be considered uncle Mamba...

i might be delusional..but part of me hope LBJ is point shaving with those misses at the rim...foul or not.. he used to make those by the bunches..

If their heads were in it I would agree but this team only has essentially 4 guys playing with heart. You never know what you’re going to get from the others.

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.
its a lot of trade that should have been done... i said at the start of the season.. what about svi for korver..bullocks might be more physical..but korver shooting 40% while being chased...

This is a big key, Brons recruiting pitch really needs to be that

"Hey [insert supermax talent player], this is gonna be your show man. I'll be there for the 1a, 1b playoff run but honestly, I don't have the legs to carry a team to a championship through 82 and the playoffs. You carry us to the playoffs and I swear I'll be in God mode once we get there. I can show you how to dominate playoff basketball. We win a ring, then after that, Im the the 1b and its your show and I'll be there to help you win rings.

I can see KD or Kyrie being in play if that’s how Bron wants to play it. Really, how is going to the WOAT Knicks much better than going to the mediocre Lakers?

Unless they just don’t want to play with Lebron. We will find out. :manny:

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.


i like your optimism but after the suns game... this team is broken, its over. :mjcry:

Shannon on Undisputed calling out Ingram's defense :snoop:

Also said that yeah BI is scoring well but it isn't "draining" to the other team lol. These dudes are something else.
:upsetfavre: I swear the media’s got some type of vendetta against our young guys and I don’t know why. The only one that they actually show love to is Kuzma’s no defense playing ass.

DLo and Randle both had to go to different teams before the media started giving them recognition. Even though their both young and the potential was always there.

A lot of bron stains going down with the ship. Good for them. Meanwhile, Stephen A has actually been bold enough to start to call out the front office. I need more of this.

You know Bron’s biggest stans are going to deflect blame and not mention his lack of leadership. Going to point fingers at everybody else.
