LakersBall Lakers Fan Forum

We have had some issues with the game chat lately becoming overly critical and members either complaining or avoiding it all together. It’s the playoffs and we want everyone to have a good time. We have added the verbiage below to the Lakerball rules but I wanted everyone to have a chance to read it before the game tonight.

The game chat is for the overall enjoyment of ALL members. This rule is not meant to stop calling out issues with our team or players. Saying things like Kuz needs to hit that open shot or I don’t like Vogel’s lineup are fine and encouraged. Saying things like Vogel is an idiot, Kuz sucks or clank, clank, clank are not. Please keep in mind the repetitive nature of your comments. Say what you need to say but but don’t repeat it every 5 minutes. The game chat should have the atmosphere of a night out with other Laker fans, looking for a good time. If you were at a nice sports bar/pizza place whatever showing the game, and one fan was saying every 2 minutes...

If it's with Bron and AD or the person who replaces LeBron down the road, who is the next player on a max contract to join the Lakers and why?

For all of you who know.. Here we go again.
For those of you that don't know. This is a pictioral countdown to the Champioship.

I'll start with this.

Regular season done. Playoff Mode Engaged. First mission is to Get the 7th seed and face the Suns next. One Play-in game vs. the Warriors.

This thread is so we don't need to scatter playoff discussions across 5 different player threads.

I expect a win Wednesday against the Warriors.

A new member @help_nephew_graduate, asked if we can help them get data for their thesis by filling out this 25 question survey:

https://forms.office.com/r/LakZGNTqS7

"This survey is part of my thesis delving into "Fan Engagement in Professional Sports". My thesis aims to see if within COVID-19 lockdowns where fan attendance was not allowed at sporting games, whether or not the lack of physical attendance negatively affected fan engagement.

For this survey I've decided to target Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors fans, as they make up the largest fanbases when it comes to Social Media following. "

Thanks to any who choose to fill out the survey and help out.
