WMC 24-25: Seasonal Highs And Lows!

i'm with all this and have been wondering why it didn't happen right after the deadline. only thing i can think of is money, tbh. and i can't believe i have to entertain this idea.

it's an all-timer. not only did we lose from a talent perspective, the downstream consequences for general roster construction were just brutal. yes, yes, slick: we were going to be bad with AD and lebron missing so much time/being old, but being this bad was easily avoidable.

 

Bron and Melo were the only two who looked like NBA players out there. We won't beat a D3 college if that's all we're entering the gym with. Everyone picked a great time to collectively s*** the bed. And those two have their own warts based on age and father time limitations.

If we're starting Dwight, Monk has to take AR's spot. There has to be one shooting threat and maybe he can work himself back into a better rhythm in the starting group.

 

yeah, at least the available non-dwight players looked like they cared and were trying in 2012.

 

I read all the time that Vogel has lost the team, well this Laker team has lost its fans...

 

Maybe the reason we’ve been benching Monk is to lower his value to other teams this summer. Unfortunately, the cat's out the bag on him. Only logical explanation I can think of right now.

 

hopefully jeanie sees this

absolutely embarrassing that it's come to this

 

well, i understand shots going in because they're completely uncontested vs. going in otherwise.

 

Don't want to speculate too much without knowing all of what the fans said to the bench to rile up Bron, Ariza, and Russ (saw another report claiming he was involved too) especially considering there's been more racially charges comments directed at the players this year. But if it was just run of the mill smack talk, our guys should've sat there and taken it. Their play was embarrassing and robbed paying fans and those who turned in on national TV to watch them from experiencing a NBA caliber game.

 

I hope they are no longer wearing these shirts at practice (picture was back in September):

 

I remember AD preaching all the time something I love by our championship team: they didn't want to lose 2 games on a row, it was unacceptable by the group. And you could see the effect on the group after a loss (we still lost, even 4 in a row I guess). But when I heard that every time they mentioned it, specially AD, really gave me confidence in the team.
That's the basis of a winning team, you cannot accept failure. You need to give a fight every game. You need that hunger. Opponents fear you. They start missing shots. They know you'll come back.

Never ever heard that since.
These mfs get millions of dollars to do the thing they most love every single day, they know what it takes to win a championship and prefer to make load management, jogging during games, accept defeats and don't give a crap about games. F them. I f miss Kobe goddammit. He wouldn't miss games because some kid could be on the stands and would want to see him. He wouldn't accept any defeat, any complacency. He wasn't perfect, but was the perfect player for a fan. And now we have these mfs prima donnas walking around LA and enjoying life while our team is a joke.

 

Fan was tossed



You're probably right, if it was racist more attention probably would've been brought to it. Before covid, I wouldn't even consider anything else. But since covid, it's like people forgot how to behave in public and we've seen since ugly stuff throughout the league ever since arenas opened back up.

 

I wish I had the discipline to not watch

 

If I were the coach, this is my pregame speech for the next game.

 

Seriously, this is 100 thousand percent perfect for exactly what the 2021-2022 Lakers Team is.

 

i was thinking gsw in was in big trouble this past off season when curry/green sorta gripped bout being a win now team and they wanted vets over the draft picks.....their mgmt held firm and now have 2 budding young guys that could possibly take over once curry/klay are done and yet still contending, our mgmt on the other hand keep trading away picks like its going out of style
