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

[HoldThisL]

Lakers are 0-1 without Hillybilly Kobe

Last year team was better
Just needed to retool

Instead of gettin russ

Looked like the best team in the league last season when they were healthy; at worst top three.

 

[Rekkapryde]

His jumper is done. Dude shot like 32% from 3 last year on wide open 3s

Damn

Bubble AD jumper needs to be in the museum

 

[rightfultoefinger]

Man, I understand Bron needs another ball handler but Russ is not it like Dennis was last year. Dennis is probably better than Russ at this stage too.

Dennis can atleast hit the 3 or jumper

That part of his game was so good

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Right now a healthy John Wall would be a better fit


However, if we're being honest. Russ just missed wide open shots, drives to the rim, etc etc.

So he's getting good. He just has to not be WOAT on those attempts.

He should figure it out...

Vogel can keep stunting any chance he gets a rhythm by playing him with Rondo though.

All they needed to do was Buddy Hield, big name hunting got to us again. We didn't learn from Andre Drummond fiasco

 

[seraphx]

It's one game. You nikkas are miserable.

Im guessing Buddy is going to be trash (or meh) this season.

If any move was the move it was running it back. Especially since you got Rondo, Bradley, Dwight, Monk, etc for the min anyway.

Nets forced them to get Drummond and then forced them to get Russ. Cause lets be real Buddy likely shoots trash on the Lakers anyway.

Russ should be ok in time though.

 

[Mike18jj]

If Russ is just average most nights LA will win, tonight he was some trash

Buddy is trash when his shot is not falling.


If AD or Bron goes down for a period of time Hield will not be able to keep the team a float Russ probably will once he gets comfortable.
