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

[jaydawg08]

At this point, Russ might be the worst player in the league

There's no might.. he most def is the worst

 

[Edub]

Epic meltdown. This gon be the season of agony.

When Kareem won the scoring #1 they were championship contenders. shyt, the last Kareem season they were still the contenders.

Da fukk u call last season

Russ isn't getting bullied enough

I almost felt bad for him but it needs to get worse

 

[The God Poster]

Man, get the fukk outta here. They were up by eight when he came back in with 4-5 minutes to play and the offense cratered because Nurkic was guarding him like Ben Simmons.

This cancer was 4-15 with two brutal bricks down the stretch and you're defending him?

No I’m not defending him but this blame Russ because the wind blew one way agenda is garbage

The fact we struggled against a team that was expected to be at our level or below us is

I legit want to know who will be next once Russ is out? The team is just plain bad & it’s not one person fault nor can one person fix it.

Well actually add a Curry or KD & we good

You deserve this after all your Westbrook stanning last season.

Injury season. This one they are losing games with healthy AD and Bron on the court

 

[HoldThisL]

Russ gotta be traded immediately. Pat Bev was playing better than him ffs. This gonna go down as one of the WOAT trades.

 

[ALonelyDad]

Will removing Russ improve the 3pt percentage?

After we send Russ home who’s next to blame

Its not about 3 point shooting, we will be bad regardless but just look at how Blazers were defending once he came back. At least JTA or Troy Brown wont shoot a dumb midrange with 18 seconds left. Russ jumpshot is a turnover, not even a miss

I hope you're related to Russ, otherwise, this is straight ignorant posting.

if Hield and Turner aren't Lakers by Monday morning then I want Pelinka's head on a stick

Exactly. Russ is faulted for everything that goes wrong. Down the stretch Bev shoots a bad 3, Russ fault. Bron shoots a bad 3, Russ fault. Russ bricks ILL advised jumper, HIS fault. Dame cooks Walker TWICE, Russ fault. Grant scores on Bron and AD, Russ fault. Bron misses a game tying over Dame, Russ fault.

Regardless if Russ is bench or traded, this squad is wack. No defense and no shooting. What is any coach supposed to do with this squad? Blow it up or stop expecting wins. Bron ain’t 30.

 

[The God Poster]

Yes it actually would …he’s been dragging that 3 point percentage down with his terrible clanking

No. Somebody else would just be purposely left open to brick

They’ve all been garbage from 3.

@Regular_P you get it now

Russ

I don't expect Nunn and Beverly to keep shooting this badly. Troy Brown Jr. Looked decent. Reeves hit some of his threes. Dennis should fit in with this group nicely too.

But Russ is going to put on the losing end of of all these close western conference games.

Clippers, GSW, and this version of the Portland are all playoff teams so the losses don't hurt that bad but the Lakers be 3-12 by November 21st with Russ.
