Lakers 2021-2022 season thread

[Retroram52]

Later dude. This is a loss anyways.

 

[Retroram52]

When players are missing half of their FTs, it is pretty damn difficult to make-up any sort of deficit. The Lakers remain disjointed and they still do not play any sort of consistent defense. Vogel is a fidgety coach that is calling timeouts for no logical reason. This team remains a shit-how!!

 

[Retroram52]

Lead is back to 7 with 23 seconds left. The Lakers will fall to .500. Onward we go to Boston Friday Night against the Celtics.

 

[Retroram52]

8-8. Lakers are a shit-show!

 

[Retroram52]

Start the rebuild now. Send Westbrook, Bazemore, and Bradley to Sacramento for Buddy Hield.

Giannis cooked AD tonight

 

[Retroram52]

Yea he did PPHan. AD is becoming a guy that just might be expendable in say a year or two. The Lakers seriously need to re-evaluate the present roster and maybe shift gears and go to a rebuild mode ASAP. This shit-show is not going anywhere and who once was thought to be a player to rebuild with going forward is rapidly disintegrating into trade bait. AD is a pouter and he is oft injured and doesn't have a lot of grit when the going is rough. I think he should be considered to be on the trading block say a year from now.

AD is a pouter and he is oft injured and doesn't have a lot of grit when the going is rough.

And that is why I never once considered him one of the top 3 players in the league.

 

[Retroram52]

I right there with ya on that. I think since he has a ring and he's been hanging around LeBron, he has become a player that only plays if it benefits him. I think the Lakers should seriously consider moving him in a year with a LeBron retirement and def trade Westbrook now for younger better players. Start the rebuild now.

Be here for the 2nd half on Friday.

We going to MIKADO Japanese Steakhouse Friday night with 1 of her sister's and her boyfriend. The over $100 for a couples Hibachi dinner.....getting the filet mignon and chicken, not the Top sirloin this time. And the fried rice made on the spot is to die for.

*Gets a chub thinking about it*

 

[Retroram52]

Dude. too funny! Sounds like some serious splendid eats and of course some beer to go with. I'll venture to the game site and see if these Lakers have anything for the Celtics.

 

[Retroram52]

James plays tonight. Let's see if the outcome is any different against the Celtics in Boston.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers FT shooting is starting the game atrocious. Missing FTs is the sign of a team that is just plain bad.

 

[Retroram52]

We've doubled-up the Celtics with a 9-point lead.

 

[Retroram52]

Interestingly, James comes back and THT stops shooting.

 

[Retroram52]

Ellington, Monk, Anthony, rondo all scoreless. They are on the floor with Davis and he is the only Lakers player making shots.

 

[Retroram52]

AD must be tired. He misses a 2-foot alley-oop dunk.

 

[Retroram52]

The lead is 7.

 

[Retroram52]

Outside of Malik Monk who has two quick threes, this Lakers team is essentially a two-man game.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers take the First Quarter with an 8-point lead into Quarter 2.
