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

[Dr. Narcisse]

right on schedule

Shame about AD being hurt is the idea of a big 3 would have been to keep all of them fresh. Bron playing less mins and avoiding injury risk. Russ not running outta gas by April.

AD not being a dependable and available top 5 player is why this isnt a top 3 team in the west yet. Even with the other issues. Cause him +Bron should have been enough.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Idk breh. We gotta se how things work against tougher comp.

He actually has value if Bron plays off the ball and spams pick and roll plays. He's the only other guard I trust to consistently make those passes outside of Russ.

The issue is we really need either more size to defend( 6'7" to 6'9" guys) or a guy that can really shoot as well.

Its why the should have signed Rudy Gay over Nunn if they were gonna keept THT as well.

They should have just signed Wes Matthews but you are right Ariza looks meh and Melo sucks on defense for extended periods.


They need another defensive wing that's above average on defense.

Team would be food to the Kawhi/PG Clippers team from a couple years ago (cause AD is not as dominant). At least the Lakers had a Kuzma type back then.

Monk shows up, drops 25 a night as a starter, then heads back to the monastery

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

GOAT franchise Church with Deacon Horton Tucker and the Good Monk Malik….

I need some memes/smileys by yall or @3Rivers

Monk Norful


Horton Tucker Hammond

edit: Breh got this on play with all the trade talks

 

[CantStop]

I know Fizdale is woat but he did start the Bron at 5 movement. U know Vogel goofy ass was gonna rotate DJ, AD and Dwight all season.

[Omerta]

I like Turner. Grant seems like it would take a while to integrate him and get chemistry while Myles seems easier and provides more of a need. Either way, I don’t see what we can offer if they want draft capital. Our assets are THT, Reaves and Nunn.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I tried to tell yall...Once LA got their role players back they would start winning games. All we need now is a healthy AD and to make 1 good trade...Trust me...none of the teams in the West wants to see us in the playoffs.

Kudos to Monk, THT, Bradley, and Melo for putting in work tonight. They carried the Lakers until Lebron took over in the 4th...Big ups to Lebron for closing the game strong... Lebron continues to be solid at the FT line...He was 5 for 5 tonight. He's now shooting 78% for the season which matches his career-high.

And for all the people clowning Westbrook, he was a +22 tonight.

You tried to tell everyone that the Lakers would beat up on lottery teams?



Last 10 games:
0-4 against playoff teams
5-1 against lottery teams.

Y’all have had the easiest schedule to date. I’ve been saying for weeks now, just wait until the reality check comes at the end of this month.

I'm not high on Grant to be honest. You have to remember that he went to the Pistons because he wanted to be the number one option. We need low maintenance players on the team to surround our big three

You got some nerve to show up here after Steph looking like what you think Westbrook is.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Is it too early to say they're finding their groove?

Let's see how it goes when AD returns.
