Time to start building a team post-Le Bron ..... fingers crossed

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Seriously, any chance Lakers can auction LeBron off and start building a team to take them into the next decade?

Loved seeing Pau get his jersey retired, very well deserved.

Sometimes when you consider the basketball "royalty" who have been in the pivot for the Lakers, Chamberlain, Kareem, Shaq, for a moment you can overlook the greatness of Pau Gasol and what he meant to the Lakers. Tremendous honor to a deserving champion. And he's right, who can forget game 7 v Celtics, 2009-10?

Let's hope they don't cheapen it by thinking about retiring 6 & 23.

A win today gets us to 500.

 

[peternorth]

This is a disgusting effort

 

[peternorth]

1 step forwards, 2 steps back

 

[peternorth]

And another 10 steps back.

DLo misses another 3PTA.
AD fouls kleiber. 3 FTs.
Kleiber wins the game

Lakers are a 500 team - so that means we lose ever second game.

Mavs are doing the Lakers a huge favour - hopefully Dame drops 80 in a hour or so.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Lakers do well ... then LeBron wants to play. Get rid of him!!!!!!!

 

[peternorth]

This mob keeps giving false hope

 

[QuietB]

Lakers record is 18-9 since the trade deadline.

Lebron has missed a ton of games in that period. Davis has missed a couple.

You just never know

 

[peternorth]

started 2-10 and here we are.

rent free in posters heads re free throws.

 

[peternorth]

Orly?

 

[QuietB]

Orly?

You don't win NBA games with your starters doing this - 4 for 18

Amazing LeBron game to pinch a 3-1 lead. The charge, the bucket over JJJ to tie and the and-one to seal it in OT. Not to mention the 3/4 heave that could've won the game with an extra 0.2 on the clock in reg.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Taking that game 1 in Memphis was huge

Job’s not finished though

 

[peternorth]

Good game.

 

[QuietB]

What are our thoughts?

Lakers big ball should dominate Warriors small ball. Can Vanderbilt lock down Steph? Can LeBron still bully Steph which he has done in the past. Will AD break?

Lakers have been awesome since the trade deadline. Just need to keep doing what they are doing.
