    A healthy Hart and Rondo back to the bench (with Lonzo back) so he could continue feeding Zu for easy buckets would help.

    Oh wait.

    Stop crying...

    Maginka traded Zubac for Muscala to solve this very problem. Dead wood out, efficient scoring big in....oh wait

    I’d honestly feel better if Zu was shooting 3s than Muscala.

    No, but lately these single wins give off the false hope they turned the corner.

    Yeah. We eeked out a win over a terrible team who only played their best player a few minutes......at home. There's like 20 teams in the league that would beat us if we played like that. This win doesn't even give me false hope. We weren't going to lose out the rest of the way. Picking up wins against awful teams is sort of expected.

    ^^^ How healthy have we been this year? You gotta play with each other to develop chemistry, or is that another conspiracy theory?

    There's alot of blame to go around, but health has been the main issue imho.

    The blow up against Luke had more to do with Beas's mom than it had to do with Bron/Klutch f***ing up the team. Or is that another conspiracy theory I'm guilty of?


    (jezzus Beas...I hope you heal my dude and please don't go down that path)

    Anyways...

    Hawks, Pels, Griz...had we got those 3, we woulda been 33-28...good for 7th in the standings.

    f***!

    At no point did I say health wasn't a factor. We were 4th in the West before we started dropping like flies. Me pointing out our team is not playing well and that I don't have much hope of us tuning it around is not ignoring the injuries. You just read that into my post. Obviously health has been a huge issue. But Lebron is still hurt and isn't likely to get better if he continues to play. I would not be surprised if Lonzo doesn't play again this season. And Hart has tendonitis which will likely linger until the offseason.

    You seem to like to label everything or any opinion a conspiracy theory. We suck right now. A lot of it's due to injuries. A lot of it's due to vets not getting playing time and being pissed. Some of it's due to us giving away our best center for nothing. But we suck and beating a crap Pelicans team at home in a game that went down to the wire does not make me think we are all of a sudden going to coast into the playoffs when we have the 7th hardest schedule of any team in the league going down the stretch.

    And the hypocrisy continues...

    Correct me if I'm wrong...wasn't it you who labeled me a conspiracy theorist?

    Funny thing is, I was "conspiring" pro-Laker sentiment on a Lakers forum. Meanwhile what some of you guys are doing...mirror, go find one...

    can't play these "what-if" games anymore, injuries happens to every team in the league.....1st it was oh we'll be straight when James gets back, now its oh we'll be straight when Zo comes back. 20 or so games left, no more time for excuses...but this isn't a good team anymore, they win mostly by talent not execution.

    Is that Melo’s entrance theme I hear?

    If only Beasley didn’t call Luke bro, he has his problems but he was instant offense off the bench.

    For those wondering (which I'm sure is in limited supply)...Melo was waived well before tomorrow's March 1st deadline, so we can technically sign him on the last day of the regular season...and bball God willing we make the postseason, Melo would still be eligible to be on our playoff roster.

    So the take away...as long as there as an open roster spot, there is no rush to sign Melo.

    On a related note, if DJ is to be on a playoff roster (ours or otherwise), he needs to be waived by the Knicks tomorrow.

    What hypocrisy? I probably did say once you were being a conspiracy theorist. And let's be honest, some of your posts are pretty out there at times where even you know you're doing it. But now EVERYTHING is a conspiracy or #tinfoilhattin' I fail to see the hypocrisy in any of this.

    At this point, Melo would actually bring some sort of semblance of an offense to a useless bench. It was different when Kuz was coming off the bench and supporting Rondo, but now it's Rondo trying to round up the gang to see who makes a shot first or doesn't throw the ball away.

    Klutch runs the Lakers, while Kcp is on a 1yr deal and it's an inevitability that JR, Kcp and Tristan will consume our cap next summer = conspiracy theory

    Bron is critical of the youth and doesn't give a s*** about them = conspiracy theory

    Connecting dots of creating a max slot this summer or AD to LA = nuttiest theory ever

    Rare trade with cLips to keep Zu in his LA home has nothing to do with #playerrelations = tinfoil crazy

    Selling too quick on DLo/Jules but FO should be fired this summer after 2yrs on the job if planA isn't accomplished = hypocrisy

    FO definitely mistreated Jules but let's ignore how we did him a solid by setting him free per his request out his Restricted free agency = hypocrisy

    Calling my pro-Laker theories conspiracies on a Lakers forum while y'all anti-Laker theories aren't = hypocrasy

    Ignoring the finger pointing done towards me, but when I do it back to yall someone cries foul to the chief = Paula type hypocrasy & conspiring against pro-Laker sentiment on a f***ing Lakers forum

    Keep doing y'all tho. I'm comfortable with my tinfoil hat on....just know y'all have that tinfoil hate on.

    Klutch does run the lakers=2 yrs of over pay to KCP

    Bron doesn't give a s*** bout the youth=tweeting "where's woj" at doesn't constitue as someone who cares about the youth? he obviously knows ALL of them were being traded

    Connecting dots= you connect dots on almost every single non laker, oh this guy has same agent as that guy or this guy...oh he gona be a laker

    trading Zu was player relation? yea thats def. tinfoiling right there, they're just stupid thinking Moose caca could help with their 3pt shooting (which he is terrible at

    Nope trading dlo, letting randle go for nothing AND not getting a 2nd max guy this off-season = maginka deserving of being fired...Magic set his own criteria for that, he even said if he doesn't get 2 max he deserves to get fired!

    WTF? I never said we'd sign JR and Tristan this offseason. I feel like somehow my posts are going through the children's game of telephone before they get to you as you obviously aren't reading them.


    I said they sold too early, but I don't remember ever being someone who said they should be fired...and even if I did, that's still not hypocrisy. I mean, serious question, do you know what the word even means? A closer example of hypocrisy in this instance would have been if I was praising them for dumping them and then turned around and said they should be fired.

    First off, no one is saying pro-laker theories are conspiracy theories. If I remember correctly, when I said you were being a conspiracy theorist, it had something to do with some obscure player being released that happened to share an agent with another player or some crazy thing like that. I am not calling you supporting Magic's plan of adding a second star a conspiracy theory. But once again, even if the above was true, that's still not a proper definition of hypocrisy. Not agree with your take on the state of the Lakers and having a take of my own is not hypocrisy. It's a difference of opinion. Do you think Alanis Morrisette has a pretty good hold on the word "ironic" too?

    I'm not specifically addressing you Savs with that post... otherwise I would have quoted and addressed just you.

    Was Rob an agent? Was Kcp used as a connect to get Bron...what's so nutty in thinking agents of players have dots to connect. Or were you not present in how Mintz operated last summer?

    The anti-Magic sentiment here is the very definition of hypocrisy.

    We sold too quick for cap space. Oh wait 1yr later here comes Bron.

    But but but if he doesn't sign a 2max guy, then they should be fired. Da f***?!? On one hand you criticize how the FO passed judgement on Dlo and jumped on the opportunity to deal away a bad Moz contract, when there was no assurance such a deal would be available later. Those same folks now want to fire Rob/Magic without really seeing this thing through.

    Another example is: Why we always trying for the homerun?

    But wait, if it's not KD, Kawhi or Ky or they don't trade for AD...fire their a****.

    Hey see what you wanna see. I'll see it my way. I think my definition is spot on. Y'all can disagree. I don't give AF.
