Don’ be a Sabo while chasin’ 4 rings in LA: 2021-22 GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers season thread

[Regular_P]

Jesus Christ, they win one game and half of you think they could beat the Suns in a series now.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Now imagine if we had AD/Nunn, and made 1 or 2 moves at the deadline.

@CantStop got a better chance of wearing Steph Curry jersey and shoes before Nunn will come back.

 

[ALonelyDad]

AD cab be a mismatch to them.... So it could well go either way in 7

Ayton was whooping his ass all series last year, he will not be a mismatch

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Nah, I’m saying the Lakers can beat anyone else in the west EXCEPT Phoenix in a first round series.

Im agreeing with you....

Im saying last year's Lakers team could compete with them. This year they are a horrible matchup for us.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Nah, Suns are the best team in the NBA and a deep team. LeBron and AD would need to be ON every single min of the game

For the last two years every time AD is healthy vs the Suns he cooks them for damn near 40.


They have no answer for that man.

If the Lakers that beat the Cavs and Raptors add AD and possibly Nunn I think they have a shot

 

[Edub]

Lakers tonight looked nice

 

[Voice of Reason]

Jesus Christ, they win one game and half of you think they could beat the Suns in a series now.

I think they would have beat the Suns last season too if AD didn't get hurt.

I agree, but I need to see some dedication to the level of defense they played tonight consistently….they do that and it’s gonna be tough on opposing squads

We’ve had a whole international war start before Nunn came back.

 

[G-Zeus]

Ayton was whooping his ass all series last year, he will not be a mismatch

No... He barely played... And Aytin is mostly catching lobs..... U actually need to stop Paul and Booker...

A healthy Davis will change lakers defense ....

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Hindsight, but would Love have helpled this team at all or nah?

I remember not wanting him, but we've been trash

Just wonder if the young Cleveland team is keeping him engaged. Cause he might have shut it during this kinda year in LA.

They also lost to OKC, Wizards and Rockets. They should be good enough to beat Clippers/Pelicans but they are not beating the best team in the NBA. Suns are not gonna let LeBron go off like this in a 4 game series. They will throw 4 guys and let Stanley Johnson prove himself.

 

[Kaypain]

Good win. My son had a blast, LeBron put on a show

playing guys with a pulse makes a big difference. wenyen and stanley are limited offensively but they play hard.

THT and Melo should never play another min

@Voice of Reason u finally got me.

Like I always say, y'all eventually come around to my views. THT never, ever should have been part of this year's team. Low-key keeping THT was a top-3 worst roster decision the Lakers made this year (along with trading for Westbrook instead of a 3-and D, and failing to sign another big in the offseason).


February 2021

This year I'm still talking about trading the same players I wanted them to trade last year - Kuz and THT. And neither one mattered much in last year's playoff run. Even before the season started I said that Schroeder and Trez didn't address the needs, which were defense and shooting.

July 2021

they obviously need to do something and Schroder, THT, and Kuz are definitely guys who should be gone.

August 2021

With Bron, Russ, Melo, Nunn, AND Monk now, wtf is THT gonna do in that lineup? They got a billion guys who can create their own shot, unless he's about to take some huge leap on shooting and defense then what does he add? They gotta trade his "potential" for a defender ASAP.

 

[CHERUB]

Bron might've activated playoff mode and just not announced it

Best way to do it tbh. I never liked zero dark shyt

I feel you I don't to get ahead of ourselves but I saw some encouraging things these past 3 games.


I don't think any team is going to sweep a healthy Bron and AD especially if they build chemistry with there teammates.


These next few games will let us know a lot about this team.
