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

[Professor Emeritus]

Gonna also need to bring up discussion of those 9 ECF and bron vs the west in playoffs

Old-ass "washed" Bron is 5-1 against the West in the playoffs.

 

[YaThreadFloppedB!]

I still don't think Denver wins a game in LA. I think this goes back to Denver 2-2. Murray is gonna melt under those LA lights.

Lmfao... Ham being Ham. It's weird how he's had such an up and down season.

He's made some adjustments that everyone said he should, made em a lil late, and got props for it.... And other times wouldn't make adjustments at all even when they're staring at him straight in the face.

Getting to the WCF means something if there's a path for them to make it past that. Do you see that? Denver is only going to get better. This is the exact same situation we were in 10 years ago. An aging Kobe and aging Pau with no upside. You could see the downfall happening. It's why there's no moral victory in this.

Reaves and Rui will continue to develop if they are retained.

Maybe DLO gets flipped for Kyrie.

That's the only upside I see.

From there they'd just have to have good injury luck

And the only reason we won against GS is because Klay absolutely sold after game 2. I don't think we were a better team than the Warriors tbh.

Warriors were old too and it was a better matchup. They only won one more game than ya'll during the regular season even with the horror show before the trade deadline.

We already know the deal. LeGBT Stan’s won’t be honest about it.

DLO is a free agent. There is no flipping him

 

[CantStop]

Why lie, I've commented before/after every game.


I've said from the beginning that D-Lo needed to be pulled and I've been right EVERY game. He's single-handedly costing them the series.

Yea, he's the one costing us the series, not the guy who you said was a top 10 player and your charts told us he was right there with Jimmy right? Beyond shameless at this point. Jamal Murray dropping 40's and putting the team on his back and you're blaming DLo. 1 30 pt game in 15 tries. Lie to yourself, not to us. At least in 2011, I had enough sense to blame Bean when we lost to the Mavs and not Lamar Odom

Why would the Mavs flip Kai for D-No?

 

[Professor Emeritus]

If the Lakers get lucky enough with injuries where all three guys are on the court, they would probably win with Kyrie in place of DLO so long as the Suns remain a mess

Lakers would probably be up 2-1 even with just playing better lineups right now instead of D-Lo.

I said from the beginning they had to pull him cause he can't guard this team.

here comes the disingenuous LeGBT damage control

DLo is not getting flipped for Kyrie. He's beyond horrendous, no one wants him and he's a UFA.

We don't have the cap space for him either

Can y'all just stop this mess?

If Kyrie wanted to be a Laker, he would have to take a massive paycut or have Mark Cuban who notoriously hates us play ball. Give up this pipe dream.

Uhhh yes. DLO is literally epically bad on the floor, in every rotation he's a part of.

We were something ridiculous like +40 with him off the court, and -58 with him on
