The Los Angeles Lakers 2023-2024 NBA season

[Retroram52]

Even Castleton is playing. Whewhoo!!

 

[Retroram52]

That's it. Game is the Lakers 136-124. Not as close as the score would indicate. Onward we go to Indiana on this 6-game roader.

Gabe Vincent is rumored to be playing in a couple of games.

Just as Dinwiddie is stepping up, possibly leaving Vincent without much of a role. Oh well...

Always some opponent to step up and have a career game because of the Lakers drop coverage at the 3 point line. Tonight, it was LaRavia. 25% from 3 coming in, shoots 7-9 from 3 for 25 pts in 32 minutes. Lakers could really (really really) use Vando back to help defensively and rebounding, preventing those 2nd chance 3s that are so prevalent vs the Lakers.

Reaves is having a crappy night. 2 of 9 from the field and no threes made.

48 minutes last night and heavy usage late. Just couldn't get it going last night.

The team is still sloppy with turnovers and giving up offensive rebounds. Really need to cinch those up before the playoffs.

Not looking good for the Lakers.

Lakers took this game off. Got beat by 19. 109-90. Firmly planted in 9th place in the play-in Tourney. Onward they go to Brooklyn for a Sunday game.

Russ started his no show'ing last night.

Hope it's not a preview of his playoff performance.

Well if it is DJ, then the Lakers really should trade his ass this summer despite any records he has set as a Lakers player like the 3-point deal.

He has been really good this season but they have to figure out a way to upgrade this team.

If Bron and AD had missed 20 or so games this season? They would have won like 25 or so games. And the Pels would have our 1st round pick. AD and Bron have been relatively healthy this season and the role players have been banged up. No guarantee Bron and AD will be this healthy next season.

Yep, and LeBron has an option year coming-up. DRuss is going to have to stop being LeBron's lap puppy and get on with his career or he will find himself going out the door this summer. Dumbass doesn't get it. Get off your schnide and start playing in the real season like ya did all season long. Geez. How hard can that be for this Mr. ManBun?!

They need to win that one.

Some players just aren't cut out for the postseason.

Well let us see if the Lakers wake-up against the Nets on Easter Sunday.

 

[Retroram52]

Again, the Lakers are back to talking about adding a third star this summer and the usual sacrificial lambs are being mentioned for Trae Young: Reaves, Hachimura, Russell, and picks. If DRuss does his normal disappearing act in the playoffs, (if the Lakers even make the playoffs), than for sure, send him out.

However, Hachimura and Reaves have proven this season conclusively that they SHOULD NOT be included in any further chatter about trades to obtain so-called star number three this summer, especially if LeBron decides to leave in the near future as well.

This madness just won't die and it may once again lead to the demise of the Lakers like we saw in the past!

Rumor: Lakers to hunt third star this summer, Trae Young is on the short list

Is Trae Young a good fit with LeBron and the Lakers?

We need this win tonight.

And happy Easter, I guess.

 

[Retroram52]

Yes we do. Hopefully, the Lakers will play beyond their historical patterns of play on Sundays.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers are crushing the Nets. Twenty-three point lead at the half.

 

[Retroram52]

Brooklyn scored just 11 points in the First Quarter. Dogshit of a team.

 

[Retroram52]

At least this floor color is better to watch a game than that awful Memphis floor!
