GIVE A TEAM A RING N FEED EM 4 A YEAR, GIVE EM A DYNASTY N FEED EM 4 A LIFETIME: 2021 LAKERS THREAD

Honestly, if we can find an absolute sniper at SG I think we’d be fine. KCP started hot and now he’s just shyt. Wes has his moments.

Jesus Christ, one loss against last year's WCF opponent and guys are ready to blow up the team.

This game exposed weaknesses

THT is a year away

I feel like they brought him along too soon

going from playing no mins to playing rotation mins for a 2nd round pick is damn near unprecedented

nah only way a young player can truly learn and develop is getting consistent playtime honestly there will be ups and down but if you’re talented, you’ll figure it out

Mitchell robinson was the 36th pick in the second round- only way he improved his constant fouling was by playing more and more minutes

so much revisionist history with dwight last year

all that man did was give Jokic hard foul but Jokic still shot 53% on us and did his thing. Did we forget that the reason why we were so succesful against Denver was because AD played the 5 and had Jokic working on defense and getting him gassed?

Dwight's defense, rebounding, and paint presence would be very useful in a potential playoff series versus Jokic, Embiid, etc....Morris, Harrell nor Kuz can replicate what Dwight does. Then on top of it, you have Gasol playing like trash. Those 1-2 assist Mark gets every game doesn't mean shyt if he can't defend and control the boards. Did we really need more forwards when we already had a log jam at that position?....... I believe even without AD LA would still have a legit shot at winning the championship as long as we had someone like Dwight protecting the basket.

People keep saying our defense is just as good without Dwight, but they're not factoring in the soft early-season schedule.

Losing Dwight was huge. Knew this shyt would cost us. Jokers last game was an aberration.

Good point. But knowing how AD is always a moment when he falls down makes having some bigs for Jokic important.

I know it's a running joke but Bron gonna need help for real this time

 

[Rekkapryde]

I been saying Beal gonna be a laker but dudes was saying it cant happen. Lakers should give up anybody not name AD or Lebron for Beal.

Schroeder and KCP ain't enough. We don't have any picks either

[CHERUB]

[Rekkapryde]

What we gonna do now

 

[IGSaint12]

So stupid, AD should have sat a month or two to get healed up.

 

[Voice of Reason]

They need someone like Clint Cappella in the middle.

His minutes in the finals

If Vogel would have started Caurso instead of him earlier the series would have been in over in 4 or 5. Dwight was definitely valuable in the regular season but virtually unplayable in the playoffs. With AD out they could use him but brehs are acting like this dude is a savior or something.

there needs to be someone to blame when we lose



Dwight wouldn't have done shyt tonight except deliver a flagrant foul and miss free throws.

Our biggest issue is our shooting. My god, we have to be the woat shooting team since the Bucks game.
