The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

[DJ Fieri]

Hillbilly Kobe with a nice 1st half.

AD has 24 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks....almost halftime.

Stuck on 26/16 late 4th. Meanwhile the Lakers are kicking ass with LBJ, Luka and Williams all chilling. I'd really like to know how folks figure this pairing has no chance to work as well as the team is playing

We shall see....

Short term I am not that optimistic but long term I like it.

He left with a groin injury apparently.....he gets those a lot. But, they usually aren't that serious.

Good win over a really good Rockets team. @UK Cowboy....

Christie had 21? 2nd best on the Mavs, behind AD.

For the Mavs to have any chance to contend, Lively has to make it back by the playoffs so AD can play full-time four. And Kyrie has to be Kyrie again

Gafford had 6 blocks today.

Irving struggled today but they still won. That's a good sign.

He should be able to average 25ppg or so with Luka on the Lakers now. And AD can average 25-28ppg from the PF position.

Gafford had 6 blocks today.

I like Gafford but he can't play the whole game. Lively is a little stronger player as well

Oh, I know.....Gafford and Lively gives you a nice combo at C though.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I really think the Lakers vs Mavs could be the WCF matchup and that would have some MAJOR storylines.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Bronny with another big game in the G-League....

You taking a nap, @Retroram52?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Indy is going to come back and win this.

LOL.

Real nice. My problem...if you are going to base things on defense, then Klay has to come off the bench(which he does NOT want to do). Klay used to play good D, but right now he can't guard a fire hydrant. Guys just blow by him. You can't play him with Kyrie. Has to be Christie and Kyrie with Klay as a sub

His defense has fallen off that much? I thought he was still an average defender at least?

No. I just got finished with a big-ass lunch!

Ha.

Had chicken burritos for lunch and game planning an early dinner since the wife on Keto and just ate her only meal of the day.
