The Los Angeles Lakers 2022-2023 Season Thread

Plus, he let's his play and defense do the talkin and he doesn't run his mouth like Bev did. Schrooder is def a keeper and the Lakers really should do everything they can to accommodate the guy because he came back on a one-year, "prove-it" deal. He has earned the right to stay. Same for Hach, DRus, and Reaves. All have proven the right to be extended or get a new contract and stay and the Lakers who can afford all four. It would just be the league regulation that puts some binders on the Lakers through the CBA.

We can go over the cap to keep our guys and the Lakers have no issue paying the luxury tax.

Schroder is a must.....with Bev gone.

He plays some dogged defense. And he is in his prime, more than Bev is.

I think they can find another defensive PG if they need to. If he wants a decent raise, I could see the Lakers looking elsewhere. He has been valuable, no doubt, but they have their limitations with so many other mouths to feed.

...but somehow they still cheap out on guys like Caruso

 

[DJ]

AD and Bron need to come out aggressive at home vs these undermanned Grizz.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, DJ. There really is no legitimate reason this series should go to six games. It should be done in five if the Lakers actually play up to their abilities.

 

[DJ]

This is a huuuuuuuuuuuuge game tonight. Mainly to show Mr fucking Brooks you aren't on the same level as these cats on the Lakers.

Not even fucking close.

 

[Retroram52]

Brooks is employing the same strategy Draymond Green has been using for nearly a decade and that is to talk trash and run your mouth to get into the head of James. LeBron has been around far too long to fall for this ploy and Brooks is going to regret doing what he did in Memphis. If James comes out and has a crappy game, it will just feed the intended purpose.

 

[Retroram52]

Thirty-five to nine and let the ass-whoopin continue!

 

[Retroram52]

After one quarter, the Lakers come-out on fire.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice win after the Grizz came back in the Second and Fourth Quarters. Game 4 Monday.

 

[DJ]

Huge win.

 

[Retroram52]

Up by a deuce at the half.

 

[Retroram52]

Tie game on the James miss.

 

[Retroram52]

A lot of missed shots all of a sudden.

 

[Retroram52]

AD with a missed lay-up. Lakers getting beat in the transition.

 

[Retroram52]

Good grief, are the Lakers trying to lose this game?

 

[Retroram52]

AD with the TO and DRus with the transition foul. Just one mistake after another and a boatload of missed shots

 

[Retroram52]

The lead for the Grizz grows to five.

 

[Retroram52]

Sit AD down. Dude is missing easy shots. Put in Gabriel or Bamba fir crying out loud!!

 

[Retroram52]

Lead is back to five and James isn't much better.
