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

[Dr. Narcisse]

Imagine if these guys found out that 97/98 Jordan was even worse from 3pt range than Bron is right now. Not the sort of thing you expect them to remember through their rose-colored glasses.

MJ was 5-42 from three-point through the first three rounds in 1997.....and that was on the short line.

I mentioned it earlier. If we really want to be mad at LeBron who likely needs season ending surgery.

Be mad about 2021 trading Russ still. Cause that wasted a prime year and now we have assets that are complete no shows in the WCF.

Im disappointed in Bron's play, but more or so that we only have 4 offensive players that have shown up so far. If you told me before the series, he'd put up 24/10/9 with good defense I'd figure we'd have control of the series.

We got a no show from key contributor and Jamal Murray having a conference final as good as Jimmy Butler right now. It is what it is. Kudos to them.

D'lo will drop 30+ every game from here on out and lead us to victory in Game 7. I saw it.

If you believe that, why'd you spend the entire last page co-signing a guy who said that LeBron was the sole reason the Lakers were losing "and no one else"?

A dap is a dap. Maybe you overthink it.

I’ve already said Bron isn’t the sole reason but there’s something to be said about him getting outplayed by Jokic and Jamal Murray and that is more significant to me than D’Angelo Russell’ performance. I don’t know when you guys changed the criteria but the best players have always been the ones who get the glory or the blame. It won’t change now. You guys have no issue when Bron gets praised and no one else gets praised. It’s a problem now when they lose and he gets criticized though.

Why do people keep saying Bron is now being historically bad? If y'all remember this isn't even his worst 3pt outing in the playoffs

2015 he has VASTLY worse than he is right now.

He shot 4/20 in the Boston series

Then shot 3/28 from deep in the Bulls series

Then shot 5/20 in the Atlanta series

This series isnt about LeBron shooting bad from 3, it's been done before and that team has been able to overcome.

The issue is DLO, your #3 guy is averaging 7 PPG and we're undefeated in the playoffs when he scores over 17

That Vando isn't stopping Murray when that's literally all he's on the floor for.

Nuggets are hitting their wide open shots (KCP, Brown, Green, MPJ) and meanwhile we can't.

I can’t wait until this shyt is over so we can discuss Lakers basketball. That’s only upside of this ending tonight.

If that's what you want then why the fukk have you tagged me 47 times since the playoffs started?

You claim you want to talk about something else but then you tag my name EVERY time anything happens during the game and then five more times after the game is over. If you don't wanna talk, why do you keep calling?

I wouldn't be in this thread half as much if y'all would stop tagging me into it constantly.

Bron hasn't been the best player at any point in these playoffs. He's basically a role player now and his play has been consistently good and not "great". It's a weird thing to witness. One 30 pt game in 15 games. Due to age and injury he's just not capable of reaching a higher gear right now. AD and D'Angelo are "easier" targets because the highs and lows have been more extreme and more puzzling.

Notice how you took that post as a personal attack on you?



I tagged you asking for the charts. I’m still waiting. I mean those charts did tell me LeBron was more productive than Jamal Murray and Jimmy’s equal.

It’s not gonna stop until Bron leaves.

 

[Torrential]

Because he's hurt, old, and being forced to play 40 minutes/game cause his teammates suck without him?

But like I pointed out, the difference between him shooting 16% and him shooting 32% is literally THREE SHOTS. So it also just be random variance. There's been several hundred posts over the last three days, including entire threads, focused on a stat that's 3 shots away from being fine.

right and those three shots are enough point differential to explain why we are down 3-0 so we agree

No one is holding D-Lo to the same standard as LeBron. He was bad in most games even before this series started, and it was mostly ignored because the other players took up the slack. But he has been HISTORICALLY bad in this series.

Are you suggesting that the third option can never be the reason you lose the series?

You're arguing in bad faith at this point. I've already explained to you multiple times that the point differential between games one and two correlate to Lebron's historically bad shooting. The responsibility and expectation for Lebron to score are higher because he is the focal point of the offense...not a 5th option.

How can you claim it hasn't been addressed when I pointed that out before you did?








Bron has been significantly better than D-Lo in every series, dumbass. If you think D-Lo has only had one bad series, what the fukk were you watching?

At times I can't even imagine how y'all enjoy basketball, as little as you're able to understand what's going on.

Are you retarded? Where did I say that Dlo was better than Lebron? My whole argument is that Lebron should be held to a different standard than a 5th option on a team. why does that upset you so much

Once again a roleplayer shytting the bed in one series is not the same as the "best player" shytting the bed in a series

No matter how much mental gymnatics you do it will not change the facts.

Going back to my original post. If the roles were reversed and AD was shooting historically bad from the paint do you think you would even bring up DLO? Of course you wouldn't. You would be shytting on AD
