Los Angeles Lakers Thread - The Inagural IST World Champions

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Beat one of the best teams in Denver today

One of the best G-League teams*

 

[peternorth]

Poorly constructed roster.
No outside shooting
AD soft

 

[QuietB]

Ouch

 

[peternorth]

Probably the worst compiled roster Ive seen in my laker history.

Probably the worst compiled roster Ive seen in my laker history.

Overreaction, it's definitely not worse than last season

Lot of guys playing like ass today, hopefully it's a one-off

 

[peternorth]

breathe

 

[QuietB]

What do we make of Rondo being +28?

It makes no sense. Surely the obvious pieces to surround LeBron and AD with are sharp shooters and Rondo is certainly not that. His 3pt shooting was almost Russ bad (1 from 5) yet he still went +28.

Tucker is touching the Lakers on +/- as well over both games.

 

[peternorth]

Rondo was probably on when westy was chucking up poo.

I do like Rondos sure ball handling and defence. But teams will sag off him.

I wonder when he was a filthy disgusting boston did we do the same?

 

[peternorth]

Laker nation showed up. Great bench production. Rondo gets better each game. His ball handling is sublime

 

[Pedantic]

Can win it all playing defence like that second half

Rondo is the real sidekick to LeBron

 

[Danger in Texas]

Playoff Rondo is REAL

This team is so full of surprises lmao

 

[peternorth]

If we play our natural game, laker basketball, we should win the series

 

[BigBreakfast]

Clippers not in the Conference finals. Sucks to be them! Bring on Nuggets. Good luck guarding AD Joker!

 

[peternorth]

Cannot underestimate the Nuggs. Their two man game is as good as anyones.

lol clippers

Thought this was a very nice and classy touch by Pau and Cat Gasol to honour Gigi and give some happiness to the still driving Bryant family.

Congrats to Pau and Cat.

 

[Danger in Texas]

It's weird, but I'm currently more worried about the Nuggets than I would've been about the Clippers. Jokic and Murray will be a tough duo to stop, and the rest of their roster is DEEP

That said, we should be able to contain Jokic like the Clippers weren't able to. Lakers in 6

 

[peternorth]

Good start Lakers.

 

[Danger in Texas]

What a mfing shot

Admittedly the Nuggets should’ve won that but AD is insane

 

[peternorth]

Sloppy today. Still not over, but signs arent good. Complacent and Denver nothing to lose mentality.

 

[QuietB]

It always comes back to 3pt shooting when the Lakers lose - 46% v 18% today

 

[QuietB]

Rondo shooting 3's is unlikely to help

 

[peternorth]

Just shithouse play today. Cant complete simple passes letterloan score.

Put this one away, win the next game (must win)

 

[peternorth]

All great Laker teams have suffered a bad loss along the way to the championship.

 

[peternorth]

yes AD, get rebounds
