Los Angeles Lakers Thread - The Inagural IST World Champions

[QuietB]

The sky isn't falling ..... Yet

Team riddled with injury.

Need time to gel the new group

It cannot work though. Westbrook needs the ball in his hands and he needs everyone - including LeBron and AD - spacing for him. That is ludicrous.

The Lakers did not need a max point guard. Rondo can run the second unit and he costs SFA.

The Lakers need elite 3 and D and you can get that times 2 for $40m.

THT
Ariza
Ellington
Nunn
LBJ. 2 games out of 7.

Completely new team. Will need 20 games to even remotely gel together. Things a bit harder when arguably maybe Ur 4th 5th 6th 7th players are injured.

Coming in March a 10-part TV Series on the LA Lakers 1980's dynasty.

‘Sex and basketball’: TV show to reveal all about 1980s LA Lakers dynasty

And here is the trailer.



I get the feeling this could be more about the sex than the basketball.

Idk, man

Stick a fork into the fork. done

Stick a fork into the fork. done

You've been sticking a lot of forks into them this season

How the hell did they get Westbrook? Who is responsible for that?

Yes he is an all star. Yes he was an MVP. But he is the worst fitting piece in basketball history.

With an offence built around a point forward why the * do you spend $40m on a point guard who can only play point guard

This roster is a train wreck.

Saw Rondo playing for the Cavs the other day. Why on earth was he let go?

Could have had Rondo + Patty Mills and still had $30m to play with.

Well, that sounds like some very poor decision making at Lakerland.

 

[peternorth]

Disastrous

Empty roster spots

At least it meant the end of those stupid Rondo-Westbrook lineups

 

[Pedantic]

Not winning anything with Westbrook. Shame because LeBron is unbelievably still good enough to be the best player on a championship winning team, just needs good shooters and defenders around him.

 

[QuietB]

What actually was the best fitting team LeBron ever had? Arguably Wade and Irving and definitely Westbrook are all bad fits.

 

[QuietB]

Apparently sacking Vogel is the answer

 

[peternorth]

AD playing well. but in the world of small ball, we have smalls but they dont do smalls things

 

[QuietB]

Lakers box scores are outright depressing - 3 guys doing everything, the rest doing SFA

 

[peternorth]

Disgusting. weak double team. at the end on jackson

 

[QuietB]

Why shoot so early? They gave the Clippers 14 seconds!

 

[peternorth]

Abomination of a team. lebron wanted this squad. kobe always >>>> lebron

 

[Cyber_punk]

Where does this version rank vs the Nash/Dwight debacle seasons?
