Get back to 3 with the ball in hand. Guess what dumb low percentage play we serve up.

That so just so ... "LeBron".

 

[peternorth]

Sigh. Oh well

 

[Danger in Texas]

Yeah we’re losing this series. A ring will look good on Jokic’s resume

 

[Cockliff38]

Horrific Bron game offensively. Played some solid D but that L is on him

AD too, so many easy shots from within 10ft missed

 

[peternorth]

Not surprised if we swept.

Not surprised if we swept.

I think we’ll clinch at least one game at home

At worst Nuggets in 5, at best Lakers win the next four but that seems incredibly unlikely right now

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

That's all she wrote. Not good enough.

 

[peternorth]

Fork. Stick it into us.

 

[QuietB]

Gotta say I cannot understand why AD was not more prominent this series given there was no rim protection?

There is nothing the Lakers could do about Jokic - too big too good.

 

[LukeHodge15]

So stagnate on offense especially in the fourth quarter. Same old, same old story

 

[peternorth]

expected loss. the hatred of this storied ball club is staggering

 

[YeoGabbaGabba]

Looks pretty solid. Would hope for another big for depth but other than that can’t really complain with the work Rob’s put in this offseason so far

It looks OK, I'm happy enough with it.

Marginal upgrade on what we had in most positions at the end of last season. Much much much better than where we were at the start of last season.

Need 1 more big man I think. AD is great but we know about the injury issues, and I don't particularly rate Hayes. There are a few interesting big men still out there on the market, it'll be interesting to see who we sign.

Decent team. As people have mentioned, I'd love to see another big. AD is not a real center after all. Also would play Reaves PG and switch Vincent to SG, not that it makes a huge difference. Just feel like AR's playmaking skills is one of his biggest assets.

 

[peternorth]

Welcome to the Lakers, Mr Christian Wood.

 

[Jeremias]

Wood is a decent get. Was interested in seeing where he'd land and thought we were a chance given how long it took.

Not expecting anything overly significant, but he's got some nice attributes. Won't be a starter but he's a legitimate depth piece on this roster who should see minutes.

 

[DEVO]

So what do we think of the new Lakers logo?

Updated Los Angeles Lakers Logo Revealed

 

[Danger in Texas]

2-2, wins against the Magic and a Book/Beal-less Suns

Reaves is looking nowhere near the player from last playoffs - think he needs to get his legs back

Vincent stunk before today, but I think he’ll be okay for the run

Wood and Prince looking like our best pickups

Oh, and get Cam Reddish off my team

 

[QuietB]

What are the Lakers going to do about 3pt shooting. 6 form 29 tonight which is pathetic. It is a massive problem every year.

 

[peternorth]

Can we get a winning streak going please
