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

[Dr. Narcisse]

Denver hasn't lost at home yet in the playoffs and has the second best home record in the league during the regular season. That Bron three was unacceptable in every way, they had a chance to steal a game they should have lost by double digits.

Idk if it was inexcusable down 3. More upset about the 2 missed fts. If shot that down 1 then yea I'd be pretty upset. .

 

[HoldThisL]

On the flip side this was ultimately a winnable game and Bron and AD both played 40+ minutes. If only Ham hadn't tricked off 20 points with those 3 guard lineups.

MPJ/Murray was cooking Dennis/Reaves until second half.
Every player on Nuggets was cooking D'lo though, he should be embarrassed. He got outplayed by Bruce Brown.

Bron was open on that 3. Hard not to take.

Bro pulled a jimmy butler

Denver gonna adjust to rui on joker so we gotta be ready for that

Still holding out (even though I have a ton of doubt) for Bamba. Another shooter. Wingspan should impact passing lanes.
Likely not gonna happen. But Ham cant be afraid to use other pieces if their availabe.

I know Troy Brown Jr can be trash, but it concerns me how easily Michael Porter Jr. got shots off on the Lakers. Not sure Bron is gonna chase him off the 3 point line.

 

[Ziggiy]

Bench Dlo for the rest of the series.

That three by Bron was rough. This where him being old hurt cuz them legs were shot.

I’m the last person to question lebron fukking James. But after giving up 100plus through three quarters you have to understand the margin for error is minimal on a comeback. Murray with 5 fouls shouldn’t have been no thought of a deep 3. Even if he gassed then just move the ball to get a better shot in that situation.

There was a lot time left too.

bron fumbled the bag but i think y'all win game 2

 

[jay211]

I'm not worried. All we need to do is win one in Denver. And I think we found something with Rui on Joker.

You are a 100% right it was a shytty shot and bad decision. He need to be better next game.

 

[ghostwriterx]

Austin Reaves consistently outplays D'Angelo on both ends of the floor. He should be embarassed.

 

[HollywoodP]

Not that bad of a loss. Obviously its an important game but we fought til the end. Denver was lights out in the first half. They couldnt miss shyt. It looked like we solved some major problems after half time but we were playing in a big hole to make up. We almost did it, but a couple of mistakes by Lebron (dumb 3, turnover, not fouling) ended that. Rui did a great job on Jokic and let AD gaurd the paint. If we can avoid playing from behind, we will have a much better chance to steal game 2.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

I think Ham has seen enough to make adjustments. It was just too little too late. I'm confident about the series.

Ham gonna start off AD on Jokic in game 2

Denver gonna adjust to rui on joker so we gotta be ready for that

Not as worried about Denver's adjustments. More or so if the Refs let Rui be physical with Jokic.

 

[CantStop]

Bron was open on that 3. Hard not to take.

He wasn’t that open. He had a smaller dude on him, we didn’t need a 3 and he’s shooting like 20% from 3. It was very easy not to take. Not to mention he’s been awful taking those shots at the end of the game so why continue
