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

[Osmosis]

Ok, but just because of injuries Bron can't led us to back to back wins? We won back to back games without Bron on two occasions with Zo, Bron/Rondo both missed all of those games. Tyson missed 1 of those games. In the OKC win, Bron and Rondo were out plus McGee only played 9 minutes.

Just admit Bron/Rich/Magic fukked up the teams chemistry. Injuries is NOT an excuse for us to go from 20-14 to 26-25 when Bron is hurt, and then from 26-25 to 30-34 when he comes back. We not losing all these games since Bron has come back simply because of injuries. Bron doesn't have a sense of urgency and the rest of the team doesn't neither cuz they have no reason to.

Y'all not gonna keep deflecting from this shyt. The proof is in the pudding, it's clear as day - the team has played better with Zo/without Bron and Rondo then with Bron and Rondo/without Zo. And it's not like Zo is better than Bron, so there is a bigger issue at play then just injuries.

Chemistry is a reason but the Lakers were spiraling before AD requested a trade and the players that have responded since the trade request were the young guys (which implies that they weren’t really shaken). This team played above their talent level when everyone was healthy and then injuries derailed their season.

You aren’t going to win in this league without guys that can shoot and when two of your only shooters disappoint the way KCP and Hart (who has been dealing with injuries the entire season) you’re in even more of a bind. Then you factor in that your starting center is Javale McGee who has been a bench guy his entire career and you trade away the best center on your roster for a guy who can’t get on the floor, your starting point guard who is also your best defender and a great floor general can’t stay healthy, your backup point guard can’t stay healthy and when he is his defense abysmal, your bench is one of the worst in the league, your best player misses 20 games and returns as a shell of his former self. This Lakers team needed everyone healthy because they weren’t very talented. This team needed Lebron + the young guys to compete.

shall I go on.......

Lakers winning percentage this season with Lebron: .521 through 46 games (24-22)

Lakers winning percentage this season with Lonzo: .543 through 46 games (25-21)........ .531 (25-22) through 47 games if you include the HOU game he got hurt in (I included the Christmas GSW game for Bron's W total)

This shyt has become even worse then I even imagined

If we don't snag another big FA there's only one way out of this mess and Magic ain't got the balls to do it

Number of pages right now is 666. Only fitting

Damn also even though Patrick Bev is a bytch, you gotta admire his leadership. Dude goes out on the court and sets a example for his teammates to follow.

The young dudes on the Lakers don't even follow Lebron anymore, probably been knew he was bullshyt ever since that "IF your brother falls pick him up" shyt. Mad passive aggressive too

 

[#1 pick]

Time to sit Bron.
He really hasn't recovered from his injury but when then, this team needs Zo and are poor constructed

 

[#1 pick]

At the end of the day, Magic could have traded Ingram to Indy for PG13 and the Lakers wouldn't be having this issue right now. The failure to get PG13 is really leading to the demise of the Lakers

Moose for Zubac trade was horrible. Magic did a tremendous job signing Bron but flopped signing the others. This really goes back to PG13. They didn't trade for him when they had a shot

Bron

Time to sit and heal.

Better redeem yourself next season.

I hope for your sake that magic and rob get their shyt together

 

[THE MACHINE]

Cant believe the season ended like this. I predicted 47-35 and a 7 seed. What a meltdown. Bron gotta hold this L, under .500 against eastern conference teams. Playoff mode activated after the break but (W,L,L,W,L,L,L) with three of those losses to Phoenix, New Orleans and Memphis. Walking off the court with time left on the clock. Passive aggressive media quotes. Posting your own stats after losses like ESPN wasn't gonna do that for you. AD lust. Free throw percentage in the mid 60s. Hasn't gone out and got 40 since 12/5. Might finish the season with a worse record than they had last year without you. Still has to play (Nuggets, Celtics, Raptors, Bucks, Brooklyn, Kings, Jazz, OKC, Golden State, Clippers, Portland).

People keep pointing out the win/Lose record without Lebron/Ball without factoring in the SOS and the loss of Zubac.... Also, Hart,Lance,and Muscala have all been in and out of the lineup over the last 12 games(No bench depth)

The Lakers are a flawed team that needed all of their pieces to be successful. Lebron and Ball were both huge losses. I said it when Ball got hurt, LA would sorely miss his defense. However, comparing the win percentages of the team minus Lebron/Ball is useless without including the other factors(No Zubac.Lebron being rusty/not in condition, Tougher schedule)...The two worst LA losses were the home losses to NY/Chi.

[Mike18jj]

Bron got to redeem himself next season, because if not it's going to get ugly.
