So might have to beat the Dubs then the Suns/Kings all for the right to get that ass beat by Denver. Might as well shut it down for the season if we being honest

Both guys skipped games against the Warriors. That's the season right there. LeBron skipping the game fresh out of the break after PLAYING in the ASG was outrageous.The 6th seed was right there and then your top two guys miss back to back games

None of this shyt yall talmin bout matters if Hamas didn’t punt the season the way he did.
Like he wouldn’t have fukked us more like he did last game
Darvin Ham 切腹してください
No the fukk he was not.
Kupchak was a bottom tier gm for his entire Lakers tenure.
Ask the hornet fans about him.
Bringing Phil back, Ariza trade, Gasol trade, Artest signing, that's a great run right there that directly brought them two titles. Then the CP3 trade was so good it got vetoed. Signing Dwight and Nash we're seen as huge coups at the time even if they didn't work out due to team chemistry issues.

Nah, this is all apart of the master plan remember? Plus Denver is an easy win if we make it to there. Missing a game right after playing the ASG is no biggie. Let's see how it plays out.

Seriously what happened to Reddish
He's not the star he was projected to be but 3 years ago he was doing this
In a pressure packed do or die game 6 in the eastern conference finals
He doesn't even resemble that guy.....his jumpshot doesn't look the same. Hell he doesn't even move the same
Its like this dude hit a decline.....at like 24.
How you go from hitting 6 3s in a conference final game to being Ben Simmons status offensively.
shyt makes no sense
Yeah that shyt was some bullshyt from LeBron
You HAVE to play those games
AD cannot be trusted ever to be there when you need him either
I don't care how many games he played in this year him and DLo will always let you down when you need them the most

You are really giving him credit for Phil?
Ariza was a good move. Then he let him walk 2 years later. Artest was not a good move. Ariza was a better fit than Artest. Ron was washed.
This is what I posted 10 years ago.
Lets take a look at some of the moves Mitch made over the years
He let the team around Shaq and Kobe get old. The Lakers lacked youth and athleticism, but he thought Kobe and Shaq were good enough to win rings on their own. He then made the same mistake years later with the Kobe and Pau teams. Even the years we won championships we always had one of the worst benches in the entire league.
Signed Devean George to a 4 year contract. What made this deal worse was he used the MLE to sign him instead of using his Bird rights.
Traded Shaq to Miami for Odom, Caron and Brian Grant. - Awful trade. We could have gotten a lot more for Shaq at the time.
Traded Gary Payton, Rick Fox and a first round draft pick for Chucky Atkins, Jumaine Jones and Mihm. (That draft pick turned into Rajon Rondo.)
Traded Caron Butler for Kwame Brown. Then extended him to a 25mil/3yrs.
Signed Vladimir Radmanvic to a 30 mil/5 yr deal
Re-signed Luke Walton to a 30 mil/6 yr deal
Signed old washed up players like Mckie, Divac, Rider etc etc etc to contracts instead of signing younger players.
Traded our 2009 first round pick to the Knicks for a second round pick.
Signed a 30 year old Ron Artest to a 36 mil/ 5yr deal
Traded Sasha Vujacic and a first round pick for Joe Smith and 2 second round picks
Traded Lamar Odom and a second round pick for a top 20 protected first round pick. (Lamar was coming off the best year of his career. They could have gotten a lot more for him)
Refused to trade Pau after the Chris Paul deal was nixed. Turned down Scola, Kevin Martin, first round picks and Dragic for Pau.
Traded 4 draft picks for a 38 year old Steve Nash then signed him to a 28mil/ 3yr deal
Hired Mike Dantoni, Rudy T and Mike Brown.
How can we forget how he fukked up the 2003 draft? The Laker scouts had Barbosa and Josh Howard ranked higher than Luke Walton and Brian Cook, but Mitch went against what they said and still drafted Cook and Walton, because he thought they would fit the triangle better.
This fool wanted to draft a fat undersized power forward in Sean May 10th when Monta Ellis, Brandon Bass, Bynum, Granger and David Lee were still on the board.He still passed on Monta in the second round and drafted Von Wafer instead.
We aren't going to be shyt until Mitch Kupchak is shown the door.
Mitch has been consistently one of the worst GM's in the NBA since 1999.
He inherited Kobe and Shaq and let the roster deteriorate around them.
Lost Shaq, wasted Kobe's prime years. It was so bad Kobe demanded a trade.
I think our fanbase has forgotten how much we hated Mitch back then,.
Then Mitch lucked into the Gasol trade and somehow all his mistakes were forgotten and he can now do no wrong.
This is what? Our 4th year in the lottery? and NO ONE has called out Mitch Kupchak. Not the media, not the fans. No one. Its fukking insane. Somehow its never his fault.
Its like I'm the only one who consistently sees through his bullshyt.
Here is a post I made 4 years ago.
Some other non-moves/moves since that post.
Not getting anything in return for Dwight Howard. Dwight made it known that he wasn't going to re-sign before the deadline. Everyone but our front office knew he was going to re-sign. Then same thing happened a year later with Pau Gasol.
Look what Boston got for KG and Pierce. Those draft picks should have been ours. They wanted him and he was willing to go there.
Wanted to sign Carmelo to a max.
Signed Deng to a 72mil/4 year contract.
Signed Mozgov to a 64mil/4 year deal.
This is our GM.
Complaining about Lebron/AD missing games is a waste of time.....The postseason will come down to Dlo and the role players......Whichever seed the Lakers get is irrelevant....All that really matters is Dlo/roles......Had Dlo done what he was supposed to do last postseason the Lakers probably win the championship.

No other teams say this, you think the Nuggets live and die on what MPJ can bring? Or Wolves with Naz? Celtics with Porzingas? That's why you have star players, and we're supposed to have two of them. Role players help put you over the top, not define your season

The Jokic stopper Rui gonna get revenge and if not we're gonna blame him, role players, coaching staff, cheerleaders, team equipment guys if they fall short again

Nuggets Frontline is 6'10 and better putting clamps on
If Dlo not shooting 45 percent 3-4 games that series, Lakers can't go anywhere.

That's the real problem, we got a poorly put together roster where we are forced to count on a duo when one is old and the other is scared of Eastern Block cacs
MPJ avg 15p on 41/42 shooting in the WCF
Dlo avg 6.3p on 32/13 shooting...and played trash defense
That's basically the difference in the series....Teams win championships. not individuals...,,,Hard to win a championship when your 3rd option plays like ass.
