From an old Bron to a new Don, Luka Brasci calls the shots now: Your GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers 2024-25 regular season Thread

Lmaooooo so all this just to play Denver

 

[Regular_P]

If there wasn't a play-in, they'd be getting OKC in round one.

Oh well, they get a chance to avenge the most competitive sweep in league history in round one.

Yeah. It's now or never

This is to advance in the playoffs. We would beat the Thunder. We aren't beating the Nuggets. Seems easy to me.

Again, you can not predict what will happen in a single game, no sane person is taking that risk. You tank Tuesday and then lose on Thursday, then you will be home. It is what it is.

 

[jaydawg08]

AD will be fine.

 

[threattonature]

Alright at least they only need one win to make it to the playoffs. Don't love the Denver matchup, especially not with Ham coaching. Lakers offense too spotty down the stretch against Denver being killers in the clutch.

 

[Voice of Reason]

If Ham doesn't coach like a dumbass and Gabe and Dinwiddie can hold Murray to a respectable series I think the Lakers can beat the Nuggets.

Q

Nah.

The Lakers got plenty of scoring options.

We don’t have any lock down defenders at the moment.

thats what Reddish was supposed to be...thats what Gabe was supposed to be...thats what Ham thinks TP is...thats what Vando was supposed to be...problem is, Vando hasn't locked anyone up ever. EVER!!!! I'd rather have the consistent 3 pt shooter. That's been working better for us.

 

[steph_harden]

For whatever reason, New Orleans just can't beat us this season. We're a matchup problem for them.

As Richard said, we've embarrassed them multiple times this season.

Zion has been disappointing, he still has yet to make the postseason and lays a goose egg (twice) in crucial moments against us.

Gotta feel for them in a way

They been doing all that heavy lifting for us all week long getting the Kings and Warriors out the paint only to run into us and have us put our foot up their ass

 

[MenacingMonk]

After this entire fukkin season, Ad gets injured at the end of the season. Unfukkinbelievable.

 

[Mars]

I'd rather play Denver early than late...More rest in between games for Lebron/AD

 

[GreatestLaker]

If Ham doesn't coach like a dumbass and Gabe and Dinwiddie can hold Murray to a respectable series I think the Lakers can beat the Nuggets.

And the chances of any of that happening is ZERO percent

There isn't a single player in the NBA that Gabe has ever locked up. Gabe was never suppose to be that.

Nothing is ever 0%

It's not likely, Lakers will be the underdog.. but it def is possible and might as well do it early and either get over the mountain or don't
