Lakers 2017-2018 Season Thread

[Retroram52]

In the first half, we have had 28 fast-break points. Has the perception of the runing and gunning of the Magic era. Suprise, surprise.

Well, this will probably be a win after a long losing streak. Later.

With all of the losing, the Lakers are taking out their frustartions on a worse team. They have hit 14 threes tonight and are shooting 48%. So much for shooting woes but then again these are the Hawks they are playing. Let's see if all of this great play can match the Kings coming to town Tuesday night for two straight wins.

I see you used the word probably this time LOL

This game reminds me of an all-star game. Running and gunning and no D.

32 assists. Looks like they are trying to be like the Dubs, which is a very good thing.

 

[Retroram52]

Wow, two-in-a-row!!

 

[tomodach10]

Wow, two-in-a-row!!

Finally!!!

Can we get three-in-a-row as San Antonio comes to town tomorrow?

Don't know how long Magic is going to tolerate this losing or whether he is even considering removing Luke in favor of Brian Shaw. Haven't seen anything along those lines but I wouldn't be surprised if that is one of the moves he and Pelinka are considering.

I don't think Magic and Pelinka are considering any kind of coaching change. They were the ones who said that this season is about development, not wins.

We shall see TJF12. Nothing surprises me anymore in pro sports esepcially losing franchises like the Lakers have been the past four or five years and counting.

True. But when Magic took over and looked at the mess that Short Buss left behind, he said it was going to take patience, this rebuild was going to take some time and that this season would be about development, deciding who the right pieces are and moving from there.

He'd look pretty bad if he cut Luke looose now.

Having said that, we also know he's not going to be patient forever. I think Luke is safe for at least this year and next. After that, no guarantees. lol

 

[Retroram52]

True indeed TGF12.

 

[Retroram52]

I'd like to see these young Lakers have a game like they play against GS. Take it to Popovich and the Spurs and kick their asses off the court. I have lost all respect for Popovich and frankly, I am tired of everything about the guy.

I agree. The only thing I did not like about last nights game is Randle ball hoging on the break. He has got to control himself and give the ball up sometimes.

Did anyone hear Chris Webber's nonsense questioning why a free agent would want to come to LA. He is still such a hater. Still bitter over those laker ass whippings.

Yeah, it's kind of tough for him, imo, because for a PF, he's very good at handling the ball and has the speed and athleticism to be great at going coast to coast. However, he needs to learn when to take the ball all the way to the hoop and when to give it up.

The Lakers have four minutes left to hold on to a 10 point lead against the Spurs and get their third straight win and suddenly they will be 14 and 41 - two short of at 30 win season

This article is hilarious. Some of these proposed trades are a complete laugher like a Vince Carter for Jordon Clarson trade! Seriously? Who thinks this BS up?
