WMC 20-21: Whine, Moan And Complain... You Know You Want To

Can't complain about a loss with the last 3 buckets we conceded :

- Uncontested foul line jumper
- Lay up
- Lay up with very little resistance as teams typically give up when up 3 but we were just up one .

 

My biggest complaint is why the Lakers are still selling merchandise with shamrocks on them. Like what the crap.

 

St. Patrick's day

 

Boston C Bags though; feels wrong. Even some Lakers say they'll never wear it.

 

feels wrong? it is wrong.

 

Lakers gear, yes. I have a green Dodgers shirt though for St. Patrick's Day.

 

The obvious WMC: LeBron getting hurt. Prepare for a lot of losses.

 

Our season is in jeopardy because of a homeless guy .

 

is it to much to ask for or expect some consistency from kcp?

 

let's just hope lebron's not out more than a couple weeks

 

Oh good. You’re OK. Was just coming to post I was really concerned if you might harm yourself with your Guy going down indefinitely.

 

My thoughts:

We need a good center ASAP.

Our strength is AD at the 4, once few if any NBA team as a roster that is able to have a strong 5 AND a 4 able to defend AD.
Gasol doesn't make any NBA team change its rotation to cope with him.
Harrell is a liability in defense so teams may play the dice in defense.

So imagining a matchup with the Nets, if we go with the current roster they will easily play Jordan/Green to defend AD and can play Harris that can defend Gasol. They can have Harden/Griffin defending Harrell.

But if we have a strong center, like Drummond, they CAN'T play Harris. Because they will need Jordan AND Green in the lineup, along with the big 3. And that is massive.

Same happens with most of the NBA. Almost no team has in its usual lineup a 4 capable of defending AD. And that's our main strength. So we need a center that is not Gasol or Harrell to create that discomfort.

That was, in my view, our main strength last year that made us able to walk to the title. McGee or Howard were not a force offensively, but they were an off rebounding threat and teams couldn't play the dice and had to go big. I think we lost that strength this year and I believe it can be the reason we lose this year.

 

Warriors used to have the Splash Bros , we have the bricks bros in KCP and Wes

 

He needs to come back at 100% unless we are in danger to miss the play in .

Fortunately NOP suck so it's unlikely

 

Horrible news.... Elgin Baylor passed away from natural causes... He was my grandpa's favorite athlete so I know he would have been crying right now if he were alive. RIP to a Lakers legend

 

If we still had Mozgov and had not stretched Deng I am sure we could have traded them to Mitch for Ball and Hayward.

Though I would not want to be responsible for Jordan murdering Mitch.

 

we have brick bros every yr....wes replaced green to the T with his bricking n now DS is back to his old 3pt shot %, sub par 30%

 

never fails either. 3 pt shooters come to the lakers to die

 

yeah, someone needs to burn some sage or something. it's bizarre.
