Cooked Kings, bytchmade bigs, and shytty snitches: Your 2022-23 GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers season thread

They barely look for Rui on offense.


They should post him up more.

He couldn't get a whistle tonight.

This series is eerily similar to the Memphis series

Game 1: Lakers steal
Game 2: double digit loss
Game 3: blowout win
Game 4: Comeback gutcheck victory with huge performances from role players (in Memphis DLO hits three straight 3s and tonight Lonnie saves the day)

 

[Voice of Reason]

Quiet as kept

Vando on KD (not gonna shut him down but a combo of vando rui and bron) will do it

Book gonna get his

BBIQ off bron vs CP3

Deandre don’t want to be there


Lakers in 6

Nah put Vando on Booker and Rui on KD

I think Rui could do a pretty good job against this version of KD.

Good interview by Lonnie with the TNT guys.

 

[HoldThisL]

Ayy don't let this game distract you from the fact that D'lo put up 4 pts in 31 minutes.

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Warriors winning game 5 gotta be the most sure bet right? I’m bout to put $500 on it

 

[ghostwriterx]

All those late meltdowns during the regular season helped. This team is battle tested.

 

[Lakerman0834]

Of the lakers close them out


The hot takes will be


Then the goal post will move again

Glad AD mentioned that gs has come back from down 3-1 so they won’t take the games lightly. Nothing more satisfying than closing them out at oracle

I would hate Dennis if he was playing against me




Once again


How they gonna keep these dudes


Those other GM’s gonna have bags of money waiting on a lot of these guys like

Vultures

Yes, KD isn't the same beast he was.

Luckily he only played 30 mins so hopefully he's fresh for game 5

 

[Ziggiy]

If the Lakers win the championship, I think this is Lebron's greatest championship. He would've gone through the play in, beat Memphis (the 2 seed), beat the Warriors, and then beat either the Nuggets or Suns.

2nd greatest


Nothing’s historically going to beat coming back from 3-1 with the Cavs. Its a GOAT level accomplishment.

 

[Left.A1]

Putting AD on Wiggins was smart, and stopped the bleeding from the Warriors high pick and roll.

The Warriors hate using him in screening actions. On the short roll he's basically the only guy who plays heavy minutes for them who is a poor decision-maker in that situation.

While it takes AD further from the basket, you can live with Wiggins pull up 3s.

Yeah I wrong about that.. I thought Kerr would try to utilize him a little more to try to get him going with some easy downhill force stuff off the PnR.. but he used Payton for that to my surprise...but Ham did a good job recognizing what was going in and adjusting.. Kerr is running out of options to manipulate where he wants AD Ham keeps finding places to reposition him … Ham has been solid all playoffs from a tactical perspective... If the lakers could only shoot it would be even more dramatic

So many dismiss that one too
