Let's Just Make Shit Up

[Black Adam]

I'm not on the losing end. Its 4 Lakers fans who are blind. Notice the only non Laker fan to chime in said the Sixers are miles ahead. Funny, ain't it.

says the guy who's trying to say Lakers fans can't be happy with the direction we're going and we'd die to have your roster. how's that working for you...?

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

I did, but then you referenced how many wins they had as the reason why.

The 76ers are miles ahead IF Embiid can stay healthy.


Nice to see other people besides Laker fans.

 

[Black Adam]

Id rather have Lonzo and a disappointing 2nd pick last year then
Embiid, Saric, Simmons and Fultz and the Lakers 1st next year.

Uh huh, sure.

you seem to be the only one calling Ingram a "disappointment"...

know what"s REALLY disappointing? your top draft pick out for the year before playing a single game...

You can be happy. LA is one of the 2 supreme organizations in the NBA and they will turn it around eventually. But they are waaay behind Philly in talent accumulation right now.

Yeah, he was awesome last year. Did he or did he not get outplayed by Saric. Its only me saying he was disappointing, right,

 

[Black Adam]

1) good to know someone slightly agrees with you. still, it's just an opinion...

2) keep up the good work. at this rate you might get TWO people to slightly agree with you by Sunday...

well, you don't mind if i actually WATCH the games and make the determination for myself? course you don't...

funny stuff though from the guy who's teams's been on permanent tank mode...

2 games "way behind" and making his determination from a year ago. honest, you simply CAN'T make this shit up...

 

[Mecca]

Lakers play the 76ers Saturday in Summer League.

No Simmons, Saric or Embiid.

But, should still be fun watching Zo vs. Fultz

 

[Black Adam]

Yeah, he was awesome last year. Did he or did he not get outplayed by Saric. Its only me saying he was disappointing, right,

least HE saw playing time. and funny how you keep on pulling up small sample sizes to make your case...

but what the hell, kid played better as the year went on, and Magic Johnson(who might know just a tad more about basketball than YOU do. sorry if that hurts your feelings) seems to pretty much think the kid's untradeable at this point. i'll go with his opinion over yours. sorry, Charlie...

 

[PhoenixEagles1]

Yeah, its only me saying he's been disappointing. I like the kid, he's very young and he might improve dramatically. I'd love to have him on Philly but it aint just me making this up...

1. The issue with Ingram has been his scoring. For much of the season, he was averaging a mere eight points a game even though he was playing more minutes than any other rookie in the league. He was also shooting only 37 percent from the floor and below 27 percent from three-point range, statistics which are unacceptable for any NBA player, even a rookie, and especially for a No. 2 pick.

2. Advanced Stats have Brandon Ingram as the worst player in the league right now, how alarming is that?

3. Brandon Ingram’s rookie season for the Los Angeles Lakers has been scrutinized and labeled to no end. He’s been the next Kevin Durant to some, and a bust from the get-go to others.
Then there’s Ingram. The worst player on the squad according to the number crunchers
Advanced stats have Ingram with the fewest win shares (-0.4) on the team, and his value over replacement rating (-0.8) is not only the lowest for the Lakers, it’s the lowest in the league.
Although Ingram has played the most minutes of any Laker, his influence is seemingly contributing more to losses than wins.
The small forward’s traditional statistics of 8.1 points on 36 percent shooting, 4.1 rebounds and 2 assists in 28 minutes per game don’t paint a pretty picture either.

4. Brandon Ingram was the consensus second overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, but he's failed to live up to expectations so far.
He was supposed to immediately come in and show off his prolific scoring ability that we saw on display in his only season at Duke, but that has yet to happen.

5. dude has been arguably been the worst player in the league playing 25+ minutes. Dude has 'Michael Beasley' written all over him

It's always interesting when one person insists that he is the only one out of that vastly out number him insists he is right and they are all wrong. He is right about the politics room though - They are pretty much slime

Magic Johnson sure as shit knows a lot more about basketball then me. Thats why he says things like this...

Magic Johnson says Ben Simmons is the best prospect since Lebron James. Thanks Magic!
Magic Johnson: LSU’s Ben Simmons best since LeBron

Its about only Laker fans chiming in. One dude who isnt a Lakers fan said the Sixers are miles ahead of the Lakers.

If you had bothered to look at the time line, you would have seen they were written by mostly losers six months ago which means about January. Every one expected Ingram to struggle in his first year because his body frame was so small and he needed to build up some body strength. Since then his game has developed. If you go to www.lakersnation.com - he is expected to be the leader in the summer league and the Lakers front office are quite happy with him. Isn't amazing how you can refer to a legitimate news source and because it's six months old, makes you look and sound stupid? That just amazes me
