LeBron, AD, D-Lo, Reaves, etc are on the court. I’m currently watching the Nuggets without three starters (Jokic, Murray, Gordon) go toe to toe with the Clippers. There are many other examples around the league, and the Lakers BEST PLAYERS are on the floor and their getting blown out the building by halftime.

I’m not buying it. There’s a much deeper issue here. And it’s not because of Vanderbilt, who got benched in the playoffs and a couple others being out. If you expect them to turn this thing around vs contending teams, good luck.

    This post is hilariously stupid. Shows how little you watch the games. Lakers lost because every single one of their good perimeter defenders except prince is out and the sixers shor 50 percent from three as a result.

      It’s hard to take this seriously when you dropped good perimeter defender and Prince in the same sentence.

      Yeah and once they come back our offence will look even worse and shoot even less threees. I wish we weren’t injured so y’all can see how little our role players actively do

    You are correct it’s copium . It’s a dogshit roster the guys were missing none of them are close to needle movers. Rui is a bench players who’s a negative in impact stats every game , Gabe is a streaky shooter n bad offensive pg, vando n cam are my favourite of the bunch but they’re on tiny salaries and are both big negatives on offensively so they don’t actually add positive value .

    I’m over it this sub sucks. They cried about Pelinka during Russ time but arguably he’s made even shittier moves since and nobody bats an eye : or Jeanie . What were they thinking demanding kyrie take 2 year extension immediately or they won’t trade for him when he can’t leave for a max without bird rights . This sub is so fucking delusional they think stars are gonna come here after Bron retires: we can’t get stars while he’s here and guys pick the bum ass clippers over us. We have a dogshit fo and everyone knows and I think our scouting is s hit over rated too : jhs is a bust and I tried defending him but his offence is IDEALLY like cades who’s also a bust : but isn’t anywhere as talented . Really just for first time ever don’t know if any purpose to Bron n AD , both have declined since 2020 but we have even worse roster and the roster wasn’t good/great then euther . Pelinka got bad shooyers n no offensive creation and he can’t get away with that now our duo is declined .

    Biggest issue is between Ham and DLo. Ham has no game plan and never adjusts on the fly. DLo plays like a fly on the wall. DLo is our best 3pt shooter and he rarely shots 3s. For him to be that good of a shooter and our starting point guard he should be making minimum 5 3s a night. Instead he turns it over alot and only takes that 8ft middy.

    Maxey is a human bullet - we had no one to cover him

    I think Cam and Van would have made a big difference

    And it’s ONE game!

    You honestly believe this team can win a 7 game series against nuggets, sixers, bucks, or celtics? Dont kid yourself. This team is another middle of the pack team. Nothing more nothing less. Dunno why yall getting worked up. We were never a contending team lmao.

    Agree 100%. Been saying this all season.

    For most of our games we’ve had Bron, AD, AR, D-lo, Rui. No excuses.

    This is not a championship-caliber team. Not even close, and it starts with Darvin Ham.
