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

[MustafaSTL]

Damn, a buzzer beater away from being 4th in the west still, and winning 2 of 3 (really 3 of 4 playing the second half against Golden State) without Bron.

 

[old boy]

nice. i like the way our young'ns are showing up to play so far

wednesday will be their true test, it would be great to win 2 straight

 

[ISO]

nikka we had like 30 something wins last season, you think we were going to regress

Y’all nikkas love to act like Lebron is the end all be all on this fukking team

Excuse me if I’m not a faithless bandwagon nikka

That was last season

The West was weak last season its tougher this season. Every team other than Phoenix has a chance to make the playoffs.

The young guys are starting to gel with LeBron. And nah you hate LeBron so much that you projecting. LeBron isn’t the end all on this team and the young guys are going to have to find consistency and fulfill their talent levels for this team to succeed.

The West was weaker LAST season... explain that to me? Because trash ass Sacramento and Clippers are in the playoff hunt?

Who else is fukking different?

And I don’t give a fukk about Lebron as much as you nikkas, that’s the difference with me. The team can fukking win games without him, that’s my point. I’m not projecting shyt, they have been in every game since the nikka went down, yes or no?

I’m not even saying we DONT need Lebron, all I’m saying is that we can compete and win a few until he is ready to come back and you nikkas are sensitive about it. Pull the skirt down and have faith in your squad for a fukking week

 

[O.T.I.S.]

This...

And what were you nikkas saying again

Yeah it was. Last season was a weak season for the West due to injuries and teams underperforming. The Clippers and Kings aren't trash. The West is deeper this season, there's parity, the Warriors look beatable.

And I agree the young core should be able to hold down the fort while LBJ returns.

 

[IGSaint12]

This is the first time Lebron’s team won without him since March 2016

Those Kyrie/Love squads were 0-12

People can keep doubting this young squad and think it's Lebron carrying bums but there is legit talent on this team. Probably his best team since the Heat if we're being honest.

And they are capable of doing that. That’s my point. Look at the numbers above if you don’t believe me

They are literally playing like they did last year but probably better. They have experience playing together and not Bron Ball, they will be ok..


And no way in hell was the West weaker last season but we’ll just agree to disagree

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Happy New Years to all yall my LWO Brehs!!!

We gonna see something special in 2019

The league and ready!!

[Karume]

Shows LeBron isn't stunting their development

 

[G-Zeus]

Shows LeBron isn't stunting their development

It's why some of us happy they get more burn.... They should be able to keep this going once LeBron is back and keep his minutes at 30-32

The Lakers team is probably the weakest of the 14 teams that can make the playoffs. However, if the young guys can get in rhythm on this stretch, the Lakers could fukk around and land one of the top3 spots and then anything is possible from there. Kuzma already knows what up; Lonzo blows hot and cold, BI can be a problem but his isos are not the most convincing. Hart and KCP also need to be consistent. There is definitely enough talent to sustain a deep playoff run with Lebron

 

[Guile]

Eh, I still only rate GSW and OKC as being real problems in the playoffs for the Lakers.

 

[Mars]

Sacramento is giving up the 3rd most points in the league...Perfect matchup for LA's young core.
