Optimism Discussion: The Laker's Sky Is Not Falling

That looks like his backyard

 

Not sure what to make of that whole situation over there, but I hope they all stay safe.

Like is like a ball. It's all a circle.

 

I’m optimistic looking at the Warriors winning the title last night because they didn’t even make the playoffs last year or the year before that, yet they just won it all. Yeah you could say Golden State was really banged up, but the same can be said for the Lakers.

 

i think both boston and gs should give us hope. gs for the reasons you stated, and boston because they really only played half a good season and were able to nearly get a ring. we can put together a really good half season, too!

 

I'm optimistic because there are not any super teams that are unbeatable by any means. Having Ham take over gives us a fresh start and if we get a healthy Lebron and AD we are already on par with most teams. I'm not sure what to make of Russ yet, we are either really playing the game well or he will be here. I'm counting on Ham putting him in the best possible position to succeed. I know that doesn't mean he will. Austin and our young guys, Nunn healthy, a pick up or two. We have as good a odds as anyone. AR should play a prominent role but if someone is good enough to keep him on the bench then we are just that much better off. I predict #18. I'm also optimistic that the C Bags shot their wad and will take a step back.

 

AD and LeBron give us a puncher's chance against anyone. If we can land some good pieces over the summer then I do think we can be right back in the mix.

 

Optimism will be warranted once Westbrook is gone. If he isn't, it's just not going to happen.

 

the anti-laker media bias is very, very real.

 

It was great to watch the interviews so far of Troy Brown, Bryant, Jones and The Everyday Guy. They all seemed pretty intelligent with the team orientated mentalities that it takes to be successful in the NBA as role players. Their all young but they’ve all had some time in the NBA and are hitting their primes now.

Mix that with Reaves, Stan, Christie, Nunn, THT, Walker and Gabriel and it’s a good young group.

 

Had to put this somewhere so in optimism thread for short dudes everywhere …. you too can do this if you do his “Dunkademics” training.

OK .... the giver I am will continue to attempt to keep this thread from the ignominy of page 2. If you need it here's a promising roster and staff.



Apologies to @JSM for #3 above.

 

would have to google 40 and 11, which surprised me.

even knew a lot of the staff, save the old dude with apparent neck tattoos.

 

Eminem captured my feelings about that piece of racoon s*** the best possible way...

"You don't know how sick you make me
You make me f***in' sick to my stomach
Every time I think of you I puke
You must just not know
You may not think you do but you do
Every time I think of you I puke"

 

But are you really throwing up? That is the question.

 

Ahhh …. good to see …. the hatred still runs hot.

 

These days it hard to even remember this thread exists.
I’m optimistic we’ll make a deal before camp just not sure to who and for what.
