Optimism Discussion: The Laker's Sky Is Not Falling

What a breath of fresh air. I'm having fun again

 

I wrote in the Lebron thread earlier today: suddenly, we're Big, Fast, Talented and Young, and I feel like sending Pelinka flowers.

 

Shorthanded Portland



Gotta capitalize and hope Dame Time isn't enough.

 

It has been for two months hopefully the team malaise afflicting this team went with Brick and his fun mentality

 

Every game is a must win from now on.

 

you know dame's going to go HARD after this one. we're going to have to play at least as well as we did against gs to win, probably better.

 

We won't have Bev to take him now. Wondering who will be our guard stopper, good game to find out

 

If we can win tonight and Wednesday against the Pels I'll feel pretty good about our chances to host a play-in game.

 

Thanks for all the help Bron while getting “healthier” for the All Star game.

 

Priorities, looking out for number 1

 

Well so much for that, and Ham just not being the defensive coach he said he was going to be, but instead he’s night and day worse from how Vogel’s teams looked with this much and even less talent ….. so it continues with every loss to feel more and more impossible.

 

Residual effects of PatBev’s Dame Time taunts from the last time we played them. Leaning towards just hoping we get a jumpstart on continuity with the new guys we obtained for next season.

 

i'd imagine nba teams that make 23 threes on fewer than 50 attempts are pretty close to unbeaten.

 

Ham is simply overmatched. He needs to break away from the two point guard outlay and move away from using Schroder so much. I could understand the first game when peeps were getting their feet wet, but it is time to get serious now. Time to shorten that bench too.

Of course it would help to have James back out there, but he is healthy enough to show up to break the record, show up to the SB but hasn't played since and we can ill afford to lose any more games.

Back to 2.5 games out and 4.5 games back of the 6th seed...

Frustrating all the way around..

 

We've seen Ham's shortened bench and I don't want to see it "that" short again with the added talent we now have plus wanting to "ABFB". (always be fast breaking)

 

What a FUN team to watch

 

Now those were sensible rotations finally for the new and improved roster. Vandy is valuable in the starting lineup …. and DLO and Beasley definite deep threats. Bench will be strong.
