The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

[Retroram52]

SPOT ON ALR!!! The Lakers are going to learn the hard way because LeBron in his consistent floppin' and travelin' and the fact he aint' gonna be around forever is teaching everybody on the Lakers that DFS and Redick are right.

They have to learn how to win without AD and James and they have to all play Defense AND Offense for 4 Quarters to win in the NBA. None of this taking the Third Quarter off shit any longer!!

I dont understand the thinking with these trades they did. Defense is always the problem with this team (offense is fine) and they never fix it. they never bring in defenders. Its hard to win titles when there isn't D

"I don't understand"

Finally you're being honest!

 

[Retroram52]

Down 50 lbs over the past year and a half (most of that about a year ago though, plateaued).

Pork rinds are great if you get the flavored ones (especially BBQ or Buffalo, even Salt/Pepper). Plain ones I agree are awful.

Good for you, Shopson. Plateaus are time for Plateau-breakers. A period of rest, then interjection of intermittent days Once every two weeks) of blastomania work-outs where you are stimulating your type II White Muscle Fibers with explosive, predominantly anaerobic exercise. That can include wind sprints if you are a runner or Power/Olympic Lifting if you do weights!!

lakers need the flop queen to recover.luka can,t win by himself.

 

[Retroram52]

You are right Dudley. Doncic can't by himself carry the Lakers. The Lakers need to find another or two shooters who does/do what James did because apparently, the Lakers are keeping quiet, that James maybe out for the rest of the year.

I heard it on a podcast that James may have sustained a season-ending groin tear and may not return this year, possibly including the playoffs.

Oh that's not good if the grandpa of the league can't return this season. I hope that's not the case though.

We shall see what transpires but that is the leak.

 

[DorianRo]

Just give the thunder the title now.. No point of waiting until June

 

[Retroram52]

The Phoenix Suns come into LA in an early Sunday game. We shall see if the new starting line-ups gets any better in scoring and playing Defense since James may be gone the rest of the season.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Denver doesn't want to see a healthy Lakers team in the playoffs

Nope

 

[DJ Fieri]

Luka and Hayes probable for today's game.

DFS and Gabe questionable.

[DJ Fieri]

Westside Knecht averaging 14.4ppg his last 7 games.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, DJ, it is apparent that Western Knecht has accepted his new appointed role of being another scorer and he plays decent Defense. The Lakers are going to have get a lot more scoring from everyone or they may not make the Post Season altogether because there are rumors that James will be out for the year.

Just rumors. James won't be out the rest of the season.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Hachimura close to returning.

 

[Retroram52]

Jemison, Hachimura, and of course James are listed as out. Kleber is a given.

Kleber could return for the playoffs allegedly.

That would be helpful....a big who can shoot from the perimeter.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers have fallen from 2nd in the WC to 5th. Another loss is going to get the Lakers further behind but they should remain in the 5th position!!
