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

[Mr.Plan B]

What was ingram supposed to do in the 4th? Kuzma went out, KCP went cold, lonzo still in the corner. Ingram gave the ball to hart a few times in the 4th nikka was still bricking. So being the only player that can create his own shot he put it all on himself unfortunately his shots werent falling.... He had to do the same thing in the kings game and they won and yall was praising him for it... but he the one to be the fall guy smh... He only trying to do whats necessary. i dont blame him...

How about take over like true number 2 should why are ya'll baby these nikkas they not up to par they need to be gone.

Very simple.

1.You can't lose games to OKC at home when Westbrook shoots 3-20 from the field

2.You can't get outscored 13-3 to start the 4th by the Thunder bench

3.Ingram Last four 4th quarters:

SAC: 0-3 fg,1-2 ft,0a,0r,2to
LAC: 1-3 fg, 3-5 ft, 3r,0a,0to
SAC: 4-5, 1r,0a,1to
OKC:1-8 fg,1a,2r,2to

Total: 6-19 fg, 4-7 ft. 6r, 1a, 5 to

It's a bit deceptive cause they played three games against bottom-8 defenses. But the aggression and confidence is still a big plus.

Lonzo especially is one of those players who puts up points against bad teams and then disappears against good teams. It'll be interesting to see how they look against OKC, which has a far better defense even if they've been slumping a little recently.

Tell me which of these possible outcomes would surprise you:

#1. Lonzo averages 6ppg on 28% shooting in his first playoff series ever.

I been saying this since earlier last season (when he showed out against the Suns but was trash against everyone else) and pointed it out again near the end of the year. He's doing it again this year. That does NOT bode well for Playoff Lonzo.

The Lakers have this weird dynamic with their basketball team. They have multiple holes, but enough talent to compete for a championship. Ingram offensively, isn't a great fit with Lebron,Ball or Kuzma....But his defense is invaluable to the team....When Ingram is the primary facilitator, Kuzma/Ball's offense takes a hit, and vice versa....The Lakers can still win a Championship with this squad, but there needs to be some type of adjustment with the starting lineup/rotation.

Bring KCP back to the starting lineup. Bring Kuz or Ingram off the bench. Play Lebron at the 4

He only holla at Stack and overrated trainers. He been playing for the Lakers all this time and never reached out to Kobe. Kuzma already worked with him and surpassed that bum on offense. What makes you think he’d work with KD?

Ingram ain’t bout it fo real. He’ll get props on a good night cuz he doin what he’s supposed to do anyway. Let him get dragged through the mud when he lookin like some shyt since he hasn’t felt a need to fix his weaknesses after all these years in the NBA.

You done a whole 180 on Ingram. Never thought I read this from YOU after that sucker punch. What happen to all that west side killa energy?

Ain’t no loyalty in this set...

How did working out with Kobe help Tatum? Not much, looking at him.

They just need to adjust ingram's role. That point-forward shyt aint it. He needs to be a slash/energy and defense guy. With that frame he should flying all over the court like a gazelle.

People really lost it after that L, eh. We weren’t going to beat OKC without Lebron AND Kuzma unless we got hot from downtown or made our free throws. When banged up like this, the margin for error is too slim for us against the top teams.

[Reid2Achieve]

I’m glad Lonzo got boo’d at line. That FT percentage is unacceptable for a pro point guard. He just flings it up there with no routine or anything too. It’s maddening. Something needs to change. He’s going to be intentionally fouled soon.

Ingram is not much better at them. He always shoots them too long.

We need a shooting coach!!

 

[Hater]

Did anyone really expect us to beat OKC without Lebron, Kuzma and Rondo..

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Here's the problem with Zo and BI.

They weren't given the time to work out their problems/issues during their rookie season.

Said it years ago that Luke was treating BI like Harrison Barnes on the Warriors. He needed to gets lot of reps (failing) to eventually succeed. Lonzo was pulled from too many 4th Qrts last year.

Yea BI is in year 3, but its more like year 2. Zo should have been playing 40+ mins last year.

Yea the Lakers would have struggled even more, but oh well. They'd be better today.

Don’t matter about expectations. Can’t fall back on that when the game was there for the taking heading into the fourth. nobody expected that but it happened and you let them off the hook.

If he isn't to blame than who do you think is?

I think certain former LWO cats did. They had threads and everything fired up ready to shoot one person in spite of it too.

Ain’t no one holding the young core back but we now fell from a solid 3/4 place in the West to fighting to hang on to that 8th spot and that’s on everyone active.

This team clearly needs not only our injuried guys back.... but another elite type player on the squad.

We the last squad that needs to be making “more help” jokes from here on out.

It’s gonna be a challenging journey to claw our way out of them mess when we get healthy again
