The Los Angeles Lakers 2023-2024 NBA season

[Retroram52]

But he isn't, what? He was wearing a Memphis jersey. Ya have to be part of somebody's roster to join the festivities on All-Star week-end. Looks like he played for the Osceola Magic in 23-24, a G-league team apparently. He also won the Slam Dunk contest. He has skills that could have been developed by the Lakers in their G-League team. But noooo.

He's a gimmick. He's a 25 year old 6'2 guard with hops and not a lot else that's NBA-level. He shoot a bit, but doesn't defend. He's a +0.4 in the G-league this year, in other words his impact on the floor or off is nearly the same. By comparison, Pippen Jr is a +7.2.

Pippen Jr has been playing well with Memphis.

Nah....he gonna be a short RB or FB.

He's only playing because they're missing such a huge chunk of their roster. His minutes will dry up completely as players get healthy.

Sure....I know this.

But, he is showing he can play.

AD is playing like the player the Lakers traded for these last 22-25 games. He is really playing great in the middle.

Lakers sucked against the W's. Looked rusty without James.

tough loss without Bron and 2 role players in Wood and Reddish.

Yeah, that week off killed any momentum. Nobody really stepped up to help AD and they punted the game with 6 minutes left. Not going to win too many games going 10-35 from 3, especially while allowing 16-41.

Wood and Cam might have helped a bit, but the Lakers simply got out-shot.

 

[Retroram52]

Didn't play much D either. Just kinda of came to work and not much else. Let's see if they want to play against San Antonio.

Nice return to form and the win. Got a trip here to Phoenix comin' up. It's a winnable game but we will see which KA team shows up.
