Lakers 2021-2022 season thread

Reaves is always around the ball! So is Stanley Johnson!

Likewise dude. We will back next season when the re-vamped Lakers take the floor and there will be changes for sure. I'll be around and on the various forums. The duo is intact!

*Knocks on wood*

Let's hope we both have good health and nobody dies.

Monk nails the deep three. I hope they can bring this guy back but reality is pretty heavy he'll take the money!

 

[Retroram52]

Wood ain't going to help ya, dude. I have gone three years with the BWEA and have been symptom-free and most of the time without a mask. Ain't going to happen not unless something out of both of our controls comes along.

 

[Retroram52]

Tie ballgame at the half. I'll see ya dude. Time for me to go find some dinner!

He wants to return.

Lebron sitting out games when his team was fighting for a playoff spot, what a joke. Don’t ever mention this player in the same sentence as the all time greats. Jordan or Kobe wouldn’t even allow themselves to sit in this kind of situation.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea I get that. But what he wants and what a large offered chunk of change will do to that desire is another matter entirely.

I hear ya Jordon23. Kareem has had some similar iterations about James as that and has led to some tensions between the two this year.

Understandable too. Imagine one of the top 5-10 nba players of all time deciding to sit out over some minor aches or hurt fingers etc when their team is barely hanging onto a playoff spot. This is one of the reasons he will never be the GOAT. It’s more than just how he plays and stats.

 

[Retroram52]

Here's another guy the wants to re-up and they should sign this one too.

Stanley Johnson hopes to stay with Lakers

Mike Trudell: Johnson mentioned that the team has an option to keep him under contract next year, and said: "Hopefully I've played well enough that they would take me back." Source: Twitter @LakersReporter What's the buzz on Twitter? Dave McMenamin ...

Probably so. This isn't the first time James has done this sort of behavior to the ire of many inside the NBA.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers running out of gas in the third. Probably over at this point.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, Stick a fork in them. The Lakers lose 50 games this year.

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like this dude might be the next Lakers HC.

Holy Cow, the Lakers come all the way back and have tied the game sending it into OT. Tied at 135. No D played apparently. Love these youngsters that seem to never quit.

 

[Retroram52]

Monk has scored 41 points and Reaves has 24. this never would have happened had James, AD, and Westbrook played.

 

[Retroram52]

Reaves stole the ball, dribbled the length of the court, and scored the tying basket sending the game to OT.

 

[Retroram52]

Six seconds left and the Lakers are up by three.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers up by five with 5.0 seconds left in the OT period.
