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

[Professor Emeritus]

You have 336 posts in a thread of a team you're not a fan of.

If that's not a mental illness then I don't know what is.

Thankfully, I don't rely on an emotionally disregulated Canadian to define mental illness for me. You have 2,893 posts in this thread but my 336 are the illness?


Y'alls exposals of me are amazing. "But, but, you post here! About the team your favorite player plays for! You have the 23rd most posts in this thread! That's crazy!"


The fact that that's the best insult you can come up with.

You also acknowledge that Murray/Jokic are having a historical duo series that we havent seen in about 3 years as well right?

Not just any team with multiple scorers giving us problems. 2 guys getting 20+ aint the issue right now.

I mean, Jamal Murray did this in the bubble. Nothing he's doing is surprising to me. Jokic has been doing this for 2-3 years now and he actually has slowed down this series. That's the sad part, Jokic can play well better. Aside from game 1, he hasn't been that efficient. What are they doing that is so crazy to y'all? I said before the series, the Nuggets have the best 2 scorers in the series. Our top 2 scorers this series aren't even giving you more than what Rui and Reaves are giving you, that's the problem.

Suns were such a bad matchup that I wanted to face the Nuggets instead and I knew we had no chance against Denver. If y'all thought this was bad, Devin Booker and KD would have did us worse. We legit can't fukk with the Suns.

But it was still tacked on.

You never felt or worried that Jamal Murray would be Devin Booker or Steph level great vs us. None us did. Your picking of Denver was a lack of faith in us, which you did just mention, not 2 players having one of the best series in a long time.

Trying to reload around a cat that will be 39 next season is stupid.

Guess what though?

Next year he still gonna give you 29 8 and 7

If this was bubble Jamal Murray the Lakers are 2-1 right now. This is levels above that.

Murray had a PER/Gamescore of 19 vs us in the bubble. Its 29 right now. This is just another level of dominant.

This makes no sense. Me having a lot of posts in a thread of a team that I support is the definition of normalcy. In fact, you won't even find anything remotely close to that deranged behavior in any other season threads.

I notice how you keep ducking my requests for the 33rd time this past week, where are the charts?

jamal murray is averaging 35

and joker is averaging a 27 pt triple double

this is like facing bron and jordan at the same time...its not normal

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

All sides can agree. Murray is playing at an elite level right now that no one would have expected against this defense. Although I wouldnt have guessed we'd be relying on Dennis Schroder..

Bron's lack of elite scoring since returning from the foot injury has finally caught up to the Lakers. Bad storm.

I think you got the wrong one. I always come with receipts

This was before the series:

We’ll try him on Jamal Murray to start but the leash won’t be 5 games like it was last series. The problem is, Dennis is too small to guard Jamal and DLo is too woat on defense. We can try Reaves but Jamal might be too shifty for him. It’s completely different than guarding Klay where u knew Klay just wanted to shoot.

My biggest fear of the Nuggets was SPECIFICALLY Jamal. I actually thought AD would do a fair job on Jokic which is why I was bragging about the lack of defensive big men that Jokic faced prior to this series. I said we had no one that can guard Jamal, I knew he was too shifty for Vando/Reaves and too big for Dennis. I was even arguing against dudes that said Dennis was big enough to guard Jamal. I said the same shots Klay was getting are the same ones Jamal will get + creation. What do you expect? We didn't even do a good job on Klay, he just sold.

Cantstop having 2,893 posts in here talking about Bron (who he hates) and the Lakers (who he likes): "Definition of normalcy"

Me having 336 posts in here talking about Bron (who I like) and the Lakers (who I used to hate): "If that's not mental illness, I don't know what is."


Bron is the main player I like watching and enjoy talking about, and Bron is damn near half what y'all discuss here. The fact that I only have 1/8 as many posts as you despite y'all talking about Bron far more than anything else shows restraint, if anything.

Once again, the fact that this is the only "exposal" you can come up with is hilarious. "You've been averaging a post a day in here. Mental illness!"

If you really care like that, you should really be talking to Gil, who has 200+ posts in here despite not likely anyone on the team.

 

[Trojan 24]

This is a valid criticism. If its always going to be something then that has to be factored in going forward in evaluating Bron and the roster. I'd say the Solomon Hill injury was fluky though. But overall this is fair.

Good job breh. Others can learn a thing or two from you (in non troll posts.)

Time for Father Bron to come take a seat next to me at the Galen Center honestly

If Bron was just a 30% shooter from 3 we might have a different outlook on things.

Its wild. Mad respect to them.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

So now it's the foot injury huh? Last year it was the knee, before it was the ankle. Next year it might be the back. Guess what, that's all being what's called old.

I've said the same myself.

On the one hand, the issue is clearly injury because he was incredible in midseason. On the other hand, at this stage in his career you might just have to accept that LeBron will always be injured.

But the point was, it was still damn close.

Joker is shooting below his season average and averaged a triple double last series. He averaged 25/12/10 this season, why are you guys surprised?

Jamal is averaging 35 because he's guarded by Dennis, DLo and Vando. No one is winning a championship without a perimeter specialist to lock down. Off the top of my head:

2022: Wiggins
2021: Tucker/Jrue
2020: KCP/Danny/Caruso
2019: Kawhi/Danny/FVV
2018: Klay/Iggy
2017: Klay/Iggy
2016: Bron

etc...
