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

[Karume]

big facts, i'm legit annoyed at this caping for lebron


i'm not saying bash or attack him but damn can't we just hold him accountable?

Who says he shouldn't be accountable?

Playoff Mode: activated stop getting mad at us for taking Bron at his fukkin word. Kobe won a title in 2010 with a finger that a doctor told him was gonna fall fof his hand. And none of those stats have to do with Bron failing to be a leader. But keep reaching breh....

I could care less about what Kobe did in 2010. What does that have to do with the current Lakers situation?...Stop living in the past.

1. This team was poorly constructed from the start.

2. LA Suffered more injuries this season than last...It's much harder for a flawed basketball team withstand multiple injuries.

3. LA also lost talent(Randall,Lopez,I Thomas)

4. The young players are always injured.

Lebron deserves some blame. But the way some of you are going in on him is just overkill.

I don't understand how people expect LA to consistently win basketball games if they know the young players have their own flaws that are hindering the team.

 

[Mars]

LA's 2nd/3rd best players are going to miss a total of 67 games this season after missing 53 games last season.

Stop living in the past but you bringing up Steph curry as if he has anything to do with this. All we've heard the last 15 years is this nikka Bron is the most physically gifted human in the history of humans, now we supposed to compare his injury recovery to fragile ass Steph Curry? How many AS Games did Steph play in while being hurt? How many times did Steph miss only ONE game for load management after an injury, with that one game being against the best team? When did Steph Curry try to get his whole team traded and point fingers in the media?

Stop juelzing, a big reason why this season flopped is because Bron fukked up the whole chemistry of the team. Juelzing about the roster but LONZO had a better record with the same fukking roster.

Injuries, lost talent, and Zo being hurt dont got shyt to do with our record being so bad since Bron got back. We still had a winning record when he got back. We should at least be .500, which is what LONZO mustered with the same exact fukking situation. SMH

Cosign the above. Missing arguably your best defensive player doesn't mean anything.

Steph/Lebron suffered injuries to the same body part. Curry even talked about it when it happened. It's fair game to compare the two. Curry's injury was basically a grade 1 strain...Lebron injury was a grade 2 . Lebron put up 24p/14r/9a in 40 minutes in his first game back versus the Clippers. So It's totally understandable why he would take the GS game off. Especially with it being a travel game where the team would be missing multiple players.

You keep comparing the record of the team with and without Lonzo/Lebron without context. The weakest part of LA's schedule was when Lebron sat out. The toughest part of LA's schedule was when Lonzo was out. Also, LA traded Kuzma right when Lebron came back. So LA loss their best post player on top of losing Lonzo. The losses to ATL,NO and Mem where bad road, but the losses to the Knicks and Cavs were even worse. If Lonzo is as good as you say he is.how come he couldn't lead the Lakers to home wins over the Knicks and Cavs?

In the last 2 months New Orleans has beaten Denver,Utah,Houston and the LAC...and played down to the wire games with OKC,Den,SA and Phili.......Memphis has beaten Utah,Portland,Indiana and SA....and played down to the wire games with Bos,Den,SA,LAL and OKC.....Mem/NO beating a flawed injured LA team at home is not a shock.

And I'm not Juelzing, My opinions are based on logic/facts,not bias/agenda....People just need to admit that they will never fukk with Lebron, even if he wins multiple Championships.

they played GSW twice, OKC twice, Philly, Utah, Clippers all when Bron was out. AND RONDO.


and @ the losses to the Knicks and Cavs being worse when the ATL/NO/mem losses when they were after Playoff Mode was activated and it was clear our season needed saving. Losing to bad teams without your best player is worse than losing to them with your best player brehs LOL> GIVE IT UP

Once again you're playing three card monte and trying to move the goal post. You pointed out the games without Lebron, but what about the games without Lonzo?....The Lakers played GS 2x, Bos 2x,Philly 2x, LAC 2x, Milwaukee, Denver, Houston and Indiana all without Lonzo, and most without Lonzo/Zubac.Not to mention,Lance,Hart,Ingram and Kuzma have all missed games during this stretch. If Lonzo came back from his injury right now would Laker fans expect him to pick up right where he left off?...The answer would be no. He would still need game time to get his Conditioning/rthythm/timing back.

 

[Karume]

Bron the biggest frontrunner in NBA history no suprise

Is he supposed to run from the back

 

[Guile]

I heard Stphen A Smith say on his radio show that the Lakers were upset at Lonzo for not taping up his ankles the game he got injured.

Im a Bron stan and this is way too much caping.

He came back and should have either got the job done or relaxed on all the "playoff mode activated" talk. Instead of all the individual huffing and puffing, he should have kept the motivational speeches to a team perspective. "We can get this done..." "I know we might not have the most experienced team, but we have to go into playoff mode". Hes been separating himself from them all season long so its no wonder they couldn't overcome the injury adversity. The next man up approach doesn't work when the team is divided. And yes, this team is constructed like a mid 2000s team, which doesn't work anymore. But it should not have prevented them from making the playoffs. Look at the Rockets

Gordon = Missed 13 games
Capela = Missed 15 games
CP3 = Missed 23 games
Theyre challenging for the 1 seed out west

I didn't hear a word from Harden complaining when they were 12-14 in Nov/December. And Harden doesnt have 1/4 of the resume Bron has. Meaning Harden would have more reason to be insecure. All that "me and them" stuff. All that "Me and the other brain of the team Rondo were out" . All the "we gotta get the young guys caught up" when its the young guys anchoring the defense. Young guys weren't walking off the court with 15 seconds left in the game. Young guys weren't sitting by 2 Chains. Young guys aint out in the media lusting over AD and all the other upcoming free agents. Young guys aint spending timeouts sitting on the scorers table while the coach is drawing up plays in the huddle. Young guys aint walking through the tunnel sipping wine. Young guys aint posting up with Maglinka in the tunnel during the game. Bron gotta hold that L for this season. Do better next year.

 

[Karume]

A lot of the people who think LeBron should have automatically returned to form when he got back must be little dudes

 

[Guile]

Harden never tore his groining this season, ya'll. I'm sure LeBron could of willed the Lakers to the playoffs if he was healthy the entire season.

Exactly what I was about to say...Houston's front office also did a good job of acquiring players to fill the void(Rivers,Faried)...who did LA sign?...I'll wait....

Bullock's an okay bench player, but Magic could've done better if he wasn't so fixated on A.Davis. If LA at the minimum just kept Zubac, they'd be a playoff team right now....They also missed out on Korver and Kanter.

Still Lebron could have done more than what he did. He needed to up his scoring intensity and he didn’t
