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

[No1]

Lakers will still make the playoffs; not worried

Stop it fam. We're mid.

 

[krazykid18]

AD 12/12 on the night and misses the free throw

Reaves 92% at the line and misses the free throw

That was the game. You already knew how overtime was gonna go with how pathetic Lebron is playing.

Ad was the game...Reaves was to send it to overtime or extend it...AD has to make that last free throw period...

 

[Guile]

Lakers not doing shyt.

 

[Guile]

funny how you doing the same shyt you criticize me for. lakers looked a lot better when AD carried them instead of Bron. u such a bron groupie, u tryna hide the fact that Bron has looked like fukking trash all season and AD has been putting up MVP numbers. AD has been pulling his weight this season, Bron hasnt. that's not debatable.

nah man tired of seeing this guy constantly belly ache after every love tap

 

[Th3Birdman]

This one of those losses I'm not blaming "The Others".

AD got taken out of the game by bullshyt calls, so I don't blame him

For me, this loss is squarely on LeBron. His shot wasn't falling, he shot 9-22 and got outscored by Austin Reeves. That cannot happen.

LeBron needs to give us 28-30 if we really want a chance to win. Reaves gave us A LOT, and I love him for that. But Bron is our superstar, and 23 in FIVE quarters is not going to fukking cut it.

This is one thing that has pissed me off about LeBron for forever. Some games, he just REFUSES to go to the bucket, and prefers to pass all game or shoot jumpshots.

He can obviously shoot, but he's borderline streaky and this was one of them nights he needed to put his head down and bully these little nikkas in the paint. It's something that frustrated me in the 2011 Finals. Refs were calling him for weak ass charges so he pulled a Kobe in the Sun series and stopped trying.

I don't know if the nikka is tired or what, but we just gave him a game off

Oh, what's the matter, you're finally coming to terms with reality catching up to your fairytales -

Eyetest tells me LeBron is still as athletic as ever, a tad slower than his peak yet somehow still faster than most guards WITH the basketball in transition.

Eyetest tells me LeBron scores as easily as any player in this league, because he's too big for guards and too fast for bigs.

Eyetest tells me Bron is still the best passer in the game, making passes at angles no one in the league is capable or has shown to be capable of.

Eyetest shows me Bron can dunk on anyone in the league in year 20.

Then I look at the numbers and I see that I didn't even realize he dropped 30 in this particular game because he was on cruise control the entire game. Went the entire 2nd and 3rd quarters facilitating, and still somehow came out with 30 points 9 boards. One of the biggest criticisms of LeBron (that even I make sometimes) is that he drops 30 but clearly could have done way more had he attacked more often.

What fukking player drops 30 and people expect MORE from? Only one: LeBron Raymone James.

That's all the proof you need that LeBron is still the best in the league.

 

[Trojan 24]

Lose today and I say we sit AD for the year and shop the rest of the team

 

[Dipsey Doo]

Haven’t paid attention to the Lakers in a few weeks…

Still in the camp of making no moves in season. This isn’t a championship contender.

 

[Family Lives Matter]

When you look at the season leaders atleast one of the top 5 in every category has been a Laker in the past 5 years and none of them are Lakers currently

 

[ALonelyDad]

Why are the Pistons wearing Bucks jerseys?

We've had opportunities in all the past couple games that we've lost.

- Pacers beat us literally on the last shot
- Cavs went on a run, and AD went out in the first
- Bron and AD sat vs Toronto
- AD missing a single free throw sent us to overtime vs the 76ers

Y'all are so negative about normal season shyt lol

We not going 82-0 breh, some of these losses are gonna happen while we're trying to find chemistry on a brand new roster 3 times in the past three years....

i mean eventually this team needs to make a 5 or 6 game winning streak to get into play in contention. do you believe they can do that? winning 2 and losing 3 isn't going to work

I definitely think they can.

We almost did, until AD got sick and LeBron decided to load manage vs Toronto

We have no more room for errors. Currently the 6th worst team in the league.
