2 of Amerika’s Most Wanted: The Official GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers 2019-2020 season thread

IMO the problem was that they didn't stay big. The lineups with AD at the 5 were the ones getting killed. Vogel tried to match what the Rockets were doing instead of playing to the Lakers strengths. Lakers should be playing bully ball. Dwight had 5 points in 4 minutes and didn't see the floor again when he's probably the best player on the roster at bullying smaller opponents.

I whole heartedly support bully ball

Could the Knicks buy out Harkless?

Went out to the game last night, was watching AD a lot as they went down the floor. His lack of effort in establishing early low post position was

He was letting Tucker and Covington push him out to 10-12 feet very easily. Even a guy like Pau would pin a little guy on the block

Yeah this would make sense if he never won a title before but he won 3x so this shyt you typed is stupid as hell

How many he lost tho?

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

THE PROBLEM WIT AD IS THAT HE’S A FOLLOWER ALA PAU, NOT A TRUE LEADER ..... HE NEEDS SOME1 TO LEAD HIM PROPERLY, BECAUSE HE CLEARLY CANT CHANNEL ALL THAT TALENT INTO SUCCESS ON HIS OWN.

IM DOIN WHAT U SAID N HOLDIN OUT HOPE FOR PLAYOFFS MAYN.

Im gonna do the same as well. I’ve seen championship teams have ups and downs so this isn’t something strange. It’s the dog days of the season. I want to see how this team acts in the playoffs. If it’s the same shyt then yeah I’ll just wait for the other shoe to drop.

True...

It really makes me sick that they lost at home to the Rockets but yeah the playoffs is when AD is gonna have to dominate. He has to dominate the Clippers. That’s the only way the Lakers beat them.

AD falls down all the time and gets flung around I need him to be stronger physically

Crowd showed Collison a whole lot of love last night, if he ends up somewhere else

Those 00-02 and 08-10 lakers would lost games to shytty teams but when it came to statement games they would win. This team dances and jumps around vs shytty teams but when its big games they shrink. Dont see the championship material in this squad tbh

Its up to them to find it. The pressure is going to be even more intense in light of Kobe’s death. Failure is not an option. But these are bad habits being formed for a team that hasn’t won shyt that’s an issue to me. But fukk it, we’ll see. They can fukk around all they want but come playoff time shyt is real and they better get real with it.

Great quote

on the "I'm never one to talk fantasy basketball (see AD, see Dame, see we need a playmaker)" but this is the right attitude to have.

Don't Lebron's teams usually drop off right before the all-star break. I think this team is just mentally dead and need that week off big time to get that hunger back.

Yup that's what Lebron is supposed to say. Don't talk about how your team needs to upgrade. It does no good saying that to the media as it just means you don't have faith in your teammates and can fukk up the locker room. If you want him just let it be known behind closed doors.
