WMC 24-25: Seasonal Highs And Lows!

Bro...

 

It’s gonna be alright I have a feeling

 

Like every role player who played today is a vet min player with the exception of THT (who plays like a minimum). Just awful roster building.

 

Called this in the pre-season. 0-6. Thats where the poor habits began for this group. But the coach kept making excuses and covering for them too and didn't keep them accountable


I think AD/Lebron's nonsense type play goes even further back to the 2020/2021 season. They're not as disciplined and they're entitled

 

sort of on this train, i enjoyed watching bi, randle growth, maybe Zo too if he had worked on his game like he did with Pelicans

 

Same. Lebron's tenure as a Laker has been a colossal failure but furthermore this franchise has lost its soul and allure. They were too hell bent on pleasing Lebron. The roster and decision making was Lebron-centric and it has cost them dearly.

 

They must be zoning out during film sessions because the mistakes they've been making have been the same all year.

 

LOL

 

There’s no easy solution.
Nobody in our FO has the balls to trade LeGM, so we are probably stuck. I just felt like chanting.
I can honestly say since LeBron arrived, the only chunk of basketball I have enjoyed was the Bubble run, so I completely get your point. I think if he didn’t meddle(completely dismantle a Championship team, along with Rob) and just stuck to basketball, we would be competing for a title this and next year.
This has by far been the least enjoyable season of my 36 years of watching the Lakers.

 

Mike Brown and Luke Walton type stuff again

 

Did the NBA hand out a trophy 2 years ago or no?

 

don't need no video session Vogel, need a coach who actually runs a system

 

Bubble ring. Considering the last 1.5 years and more mounting evidence, that title was a fluke. I didnt see our guys replicate their play that they did in the Bubble, have you?

We're on pace now to not get out of the first round 3 out of the 4 years Lebron has been here. The one year they had success they had a ton of time off and won in questionable circumstances. Not a lot of respect for what they did in 2020 TBH

 

We won the NBA championship.

 

Second end of a back to back and you could see fatigue get to lebron. Pretty classic trap game as these teams who trade everyone seem to have a dead cat bounce before other teams scout and game plan better.

That being said sloppy with the ball and just not enough talent on
Reaves and Johnson look good out there but too many guys like Bradley, Ariza, Ellington who just aren't that good.

That Russ trade is going to go down as one of the worst in Laker history: the loss of KCP/Kuzma/AC (direct result of the trade) killed the depth of this team
Vogel ain't helping trusting Ariza and Bradley so much and not going with Dwight against Nurkic. AD just doesn't look the same when banging these bigger guys. IF Dwight was available go for it. Just blowing up a title team for no good reason and the basketball gods are paying the Lebron and the Lakers back

 

It's not a fluke: last year basically the same team was going for the best record in the league before Lebron went down.
I'd say the bubble was actually one of the most legit around - no fluke injuries and no homecourt.

 

Yeah 2019-20 we had a real team. We started 24-3 and were 1st in the west pretty much all year and had just convincingly beat the Buck and Clippers (Our 2 biggest threats) right before the lockdown. The problem is we blew that team up completely, and are now left with vet min players.
