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

[The Villain]

For all intents and purposes it may as well still be preseason for us
And it’s going to be touch and go until we get THT Nunn and Ariza back. That way we can be done with Bazemore.

you see Malik Monk and Reaves are a godsend just by being young, energetic and able to shoot. We just need to weather the storm but I think this is going to be electric once we have everyone

stay calm

Just cause I wanna troll @ALonelyDad @Regular_P

Monk is making me think we should have kept AC instead of THT

I think the other biggest issue (luckily there arent many great forwards out west) was the lack of another forward.

I looked up and wondered why the hell is Bron playing 40 mins. Why is Melo still in on defense and then remember they dont got another big wing

@2Quik4UHoes Should have found a way to keep Kief

Agreed

AD does not want to play at the 5. It's obvious that the coaching staff knows he's managing that heeling injury and they don't want him at the 5.

The Lakers need to make a move for a 5 that can shoot 3s at the deadline. Or if Kevin Love is available on the buyout market they definitely will sign him.

Not tryna hate on Westbrook but it's sad that even his good games are a mess. 13 points, 13 assists, and 4 steals but 5-15 from the field and 9 turnovers.

Vogel just needs to tell him not to shoot. When he's on the floor the only time he should be looking for his own shot is in transition and against a major mismatch/bad rotation.

Basically, he needs to understand he's a role player who should focus on defense and playmaking when Lebron isn't in/taking a break.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Yeah he was trash…are the Lakers going to make the adjustments that those teams made to maximize Westbrook and does Westbrook have that gear yet another year at 33?

Russ would have never played like that if the Rockets didn’t go super small ball with RoCo and Tucker playing the 5.

Russ would have never played like that if the Wiz didn’t acquire bigs like Gafford/Len and went three guard sets with Westbrook, Neto, Beal.

The Lakers need an Alex Len type

monk gonna be aight. This is probably the first time he’s ever had to play defense in his life. He’s going to get torched a lot this year but It’ll come together. And he can easily give it back on the other end.

WESTBROOK IS A SECOND HALF OF THE SEASON TYPA PLAYER

RELAX FOLKS

HE WAS TRASH FOR WASHINGTON PRE ASB AS WELL

GIVE IT SOME TIME

He will not dominate the ball with Bron on the team like he did with the Wiz when they went on their run tho.

TRUE

BUT MY POINT IS THAT HE TOOK TIME TO ROUND INTO GAME SPEED LAST YEAR, SO I EXPECT MORE OF THE SAME.

He better.

His defense has been trash for a minute and we know his jumper is buns. Him creating and driving needs to be a focus.

YUP .. AND STILL A BEAST ON THE GLASS

WELL SEE IF BRON LETS HIM DO HIS THANG OR NOT

 

[rightfultoefinger]

Well, so far it looks like Bron’s 3 ball is legit. Not saying it hasn’t been legit but it just looks so much better. Granted it’s only 3 games in.

 

[G-Zeus]

So far his usage is only down 5% despite joining a big 3...this means he is accommodated.

Lbj has been shooting lots of threes and I believe they will use Austin even more with him...to me.he is showing sign of adaptation.. lakers had a decent game yesterday...

Do you think LA will wait that long?

DO WE HAVE A CHOICE?
