Came off the buss with billions, now we back in the building: Your GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers 2025 offseason Thread

[Osmosis]

Having no center really hurting us.

The fact Hayes can't even give 5 decent mins is embarrassing

 

[Voice of Reason]

Lakers have too much a lack of size and defense to be a real contender. Unless Lebron and Luka both go for 30 each.

 

[jaydawg08]

I actually do think Lakers can still win this in 7

I think they win Sunday. Then win at home to go up 3-2

Probably lose again in MN then gotta close it out in Game 7

Least Brons offense came back. Gotta get Rui right and honestly

 

[seraphx]

Once Luka passed to Rui instead of Bron for that 3. I knew it was over. He was ice cold all night lol.

 

[tremonthustler1]

I really just don't see the Big 3 all having big games at the same time, like they always gonna be one odd man out and it rotates

there's guys the other team has that they haven't even used yet that could negate or neutralize what Reaves can do. It really comes down to the fact that even if Luka/LeBron are killing in tandem, they need Reaves to get his 20 AND the Lakers to get 40 combined from everyone else.


95, 94 and 104 in this era of NBA basketball isn't gonna cut it, especially since y'all wanna play smaller and faster.

Looking at how this series has been going, why do you believe this?

No shade, I'm just curious.

I think they can too, but it's looking real grim.

 

[who_better_than_me]

I wanna the Lakers to play the smaller not so athletic warriors

Nah. TheRoc Boys needed that more than you. I wanted no part of the clips or TWolves. Ant is a certified Rocket killer.

Luka not having a lob threat is killing us.

Scoring is down significantly this postseason.

 

[seraphx]

Anyway, just need to win the next game and split 2/3. It's doable.

 

[Trojan 24]

But they also have athletic perimeter bodies to throw at Reaves/Bron/Luka. Actually the team without the bigger perimeter bodies is OKC because Dourt and Caruso a little too small

 

[who_better_than_me]

Luka not having a lob threat is killing us.

Not having a defensive big period is killing yall.

 

[seraphx]

Not having a defensive big period is killing yall.

shyt I don't even need a defensive one at this point. Just someone who can stay on the court for more than 3 minutes at a time

 

[tremonthustler1]

Scoring is down significantly this postseason.

which doesn't benefit the Lakers.

Sunday, they'll try to run the Lakers outta the gym and take advantage of 1 day of rest.

 

[Saint1]

Luka gave that game away.

bytching, not recovering, not scoring
