    Shooting coach? I don't understand why we need a shooting coach. You guys are overreacting because we lost a couple of games while having injuries.

    [​IMG]

    47% total, 34% for 3, 69% Free Throws... seems good to me. Let me look at our guards shooting when you leave them "umolested" at the Free Throw line:

    Zo 43%.
    Svi 53%.
    Rondo 62%.
    Ingram 63%.
    Hart 66%.

    I don't know guys

    Somewhere on another team site, "their Cookie" is foaming at the mouth at just how many batches they could cook up for their fan base's doom thread.

    I guess LakersBawl missed the "happy" part in happy new year.... some of y'all real extra haha.

    I guess injuries, respiratory infections, too much egg nog for dudes that just became legal to drink and sophomore slumps ain't supposed to affect the Lakers. I mean we play by our own rules (see tampering) so as fans we have different expectations.

    Let me just point out tho that KAT had trouble playing with an all-star in Butler, so when some of our youngns are still trying to find their footing with a superduper star like Bron, we shouldn't look at it the same way. Everything is sure sunny in Philly with Ben and Embiid after they added said all-star...right?

    When guys like Jaylen Brown slump and s*** the bed, Stevens is still a good coach, but Luke and BI are dumb and dumber cause fans think Luke isos BI all the time, yet dude's usage %age is lower than Kuz's and it's not too far off from Zo. But f*** advanced stats...it's all about that eye test doe.

    For every Luka, there's a Fultz...yet all our draft picks absolutely need to hit at all times....and during all points of the regular season. I mean December is like 5 months away from the big dance....get it together young bloodz.

    Meanwhile Jules is sure making the Pels fly high, while DLo immediately turned the Nets into world beaters. Shoulda held onto both them dudes...they clearly clutch, so f*** the opportunity of other things that are Klutch.

    Trudell needs a new article on "drip"... There's plenty of it on LakersBawl...have a _____ new year fam and Mr. Irwhine (y'all really quoting this dude haha).

    whenever you feel down, just watch videos of bad American Idol auditions. It helps. It really does.

    WMC .... hearing last night that at that point Lonzo had made 1 of his last 10 FTs. Are you effing serious about the game kid?

    And 3 days in asking seriously and nicely multiple times with "please" how did Kuzma get a contusion on his back .... nothing but the sound of crickets chirping. Would it be that f****** hard for someone who saw the play to answer?

    Here you go LT. The only tells bits and pieces throughout the video, but by the end, you get the update, the video, everything. It's a little worse than we were all hoping for.

    that's what breaks are for, but you have to watch til the end unfortunately. They use bigger words than I can repeat, but it's different than Dwight's injury which is good.

    Yeah. Silly me. These percentages are fine and not hitting a free throw has never cost a team a game. I take back my comments.

    Don’t want to be a part of #LakersBawl

    Sirron, you’re trolling LT. I watched that entire video and it doesn’t provide squat regarding Kuzma!

    Sigh. And still no simple answer. No one knows that was watching.

    I didn’t see what happened. I confess I barely pay attention when the game is on now, but it seemed like he left rather unexpectedly

    It’s a bruised back. I don’t think we need to make too much of it.

    I just wondered if he took a hard fall from the air or it was someone hit him hard in the back.

    You use a lot of sarcasm, so I'm actually not sure which part is your actual position in all this! Thus, if anything I'm writing here is in agreement with you, great. And if it's opposed to you, just let me know. I'm just trying to give a take on this.

    Kuzma was discovered - credit to the scouting department. Maybe the same goes for Zubac and Hart.

    But after drafting those players, have any of them improved? Zubac is surely no better than he was a couple seasons ago. Hart surely isn't.

    Clarkson - great talent for where he was drafted. Credit scouting. And then the team misused him and he hasn't improved since about year 2.

    Randle - absolutely mistreated by the organization.

    DAR - you can blame him for his role in all this, but he definitely has changed his attitude and play since leaving LA.

    I can't think of a player on the roster who has been both developed and treated well by the Lakers in the past...six years? Actually, Farmar and Nance. That's it in the past 12 years.

    Travis: I'm not giving Jimmy and Mitch any outs. Those guys were terrible and we're definitely better for it after Jeanie's power grab.

    However Magic and Pelinka damn near cleaned up the entire mess those previous clowns had created.

    Mistreatment is such a false narrative that is clearly fan/Mintz driven. I've discussed this ad nauseum in other threads...

    But we played a guy 13 minutes all year and then that "mistreatment" led to him gracing us enough money in a buyout to truly have a 35% max slot next summer. If we want a max player and they want us, we don't have to stretch/waive/trade anybody to make it happen. Meanwhile that same dude is riding the pine in Minny for a coach that values him. Imho it was Deng that was "mistreated" the harshest and he gave us back money. I guess not so "mistreated" afterall...

    When it comes to Jules...did dude get more money and a commitment from Nawlins? Did dude have a guaranteed starter spot waiting for him there? Is dude avg significantly more minutes there than he was here? Did dude really need Magic to push him to morph his body in a contract year? We "mistreated" dude? Really? I guess Nawlins is worse at treating him than we are.

    I know you're a DLo guy and I know he's made an improvement of late (maybe thank Dinwiddie and that extension for that)...but dude was immature when he was here, didn't really lead us to any type of legitimate contention and was used in a salary dump to clear way for.... LABron freaking James! We would have mistreated our damn selves if we didn't move him in the manner we did.

    I got no beef blaming the FO for prematurely dropping TBryant and letting BLo walk to Milwaukee. I still have a big problem with how that went down. But all the other fluff is such a faulty narrative imo that I can't idly stand by as Mr. Irwhine talks out his a** on it and y'all post it as (the current) FO shaming gospel.
