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

[HoldThisL]

Lakers in 6 still.

Having said that, gotta give it up to Murray/Jokic.

They are having a Bron/AD Bubble like domination right now. Both have a Gamescore of 30+

Jokic 29/19/13 Gamescore 31.6
Murray 34/7.5/5 Gamescore 30


Probably any other duo and what Bron/AD might be doing would be enough
AD 29/12/3.5/ 3 blks Gamescore 26
Bron 24/11/10 Gamescore 24.6


This isnt a question of the Lakers not having superstars. Its a problem that Denver's are just better right now.

Jokic being dominant is one thing. Murray playing at this level is killing them. Gotta figure out something other than Dennis.

Bron/AD have to be bubble level dominant to beat this team at this rate. Which is wild cause Reaves and Rui are playing great.

even if we do get past the warriors, we have no chance against the nuggets

yea im fully confident that this group can win 1 road game. even if we go 0-2, I can see us winning the next 2 at home and stealing game 5. I honestly don't know how we match up against denver, we haven't faced each other since the trade. I feel like it can either be really in our favor or it can be an ass whooping like the mavs gave us in 2011. nuggets be going on these insane runs

Looks like I was right all along. Everything I predicted is happening. Nuggets are winning because of their insane runs and we can't match them because we have no perimeter threats and no superstars. Only way you stop runs is by having your big paid players put their stamp on the game. Who do we have that we can do that?

He scored 23 points in the 4th quarter. Let him talk. He's cooking our entire team and he's been the 2nd best player this series and it hasn't been close. Unlike Dillon Brooks, he can back up what he says.

Its not that the Lakers dont have superstars. Their superstars are just better. if anything part of it is the horrible defensive strategy vs Murray. If he was playing at the same level he did against Phoenix or Minnesota the Lakers would be up 2 games right now.

No one would have guessed he'd be playing like Steph Curry right now. Part of that is just a young player emerging into a superstar right before our eyes. Part of it is on the Lakers poor adjustments.

The hope is he comes back to the norm (unless this is Devin Booker vs. the Lakers in 2021 all over again).

The issue is maybe Reaves, but more likely Rui are playing above their heads. So not only do the stars need to be better at home, but DLO needs to start playing well quickly.

So what is the deal with Lonnie Walker for real? Dude has become the version of himself again that I did not like. Might as well play TBJ and Beasley again

[Dr. Narcisse]

Basketball Gods did the Lakers a solid with Klay being cooked at the perfect time.

This was the series where the Lakers superstars needed to be peak. Instead they've just been very good and its not enough. Need the best possible versions of AD/Bron these couple of games.

Idk. Next few games will tell a lot. No way I saw him averaging 34 after 2 games. Again I felt that way about Devin Booker until he just went off on the Lakers in 2021 and then went to the finals.
