And I see all this discussion about Gobert killing us and Hayes or Len playing more. When I don’t blame Reddikk for trying something different. If you lose because Gobert all of a sudden turns into Wilt oh well.

But I do blame him for the offense being stagnant. Letting Luka dribble the air out the ball and trying to switch hunt or iso instead of running an actual offense is not acceptable. And if it was Ham who did that nikkas would’ve been on here calling for his head immediately.

Redikk talked a good game on his podcast but didn’t show & prove when it was time.


Facts. Scored under 100 in 3 out of 5 games in 2025. No photoshopped terrorist pictures though

All that faq talked about on his podcast was floppy actions, pin downs and breaking down sets. But with his own damn team he let Luka, Bron and Reaves just do really whatever the hell they wanted

Luka can’t play any other way because he can’t play off ball and is out of shape

The Lakers offense can only play Luka ball right now while he’s on the court

nikkas were CELEBRATING playing the Wolves and casually CLOWNING THEM

now it's "Oh, well we always knew we were gonna lose. We were always flawed"

man fukk outta here. Im TIRED of the front running LeGBT energy that clouds this team now every fukking season.
Damn I can't root for my team and have hope? I always knew we were going to have a issue with rim protection, but I thought Bron, Luka, and Reaves would be enough to offset those problems. Plus I did not expect Randle and Gobert to have games like they did even with no rim protection :yeshrug:.

I will take my L tho

It's not that. It's the current culture of our franchise. How many times did Kobe's career did we have a hyped up top team and fukking lose early? Even in the late 90s with the Jazz/Spurs, it wasn't the first round and Kobe was a teenager.

When we got Pau we got right to it. Finals, rings, etc. Even the 2004 team got to the Finals.

Dwight is the only example and it's not even a guy Kobe particularly wanted. And even then, Kobe got hurt before the playoffs.

Only in Bronland are you winning 50+ games and aint doing shyt. Winning 50+ games but the offense is trash. How many trash offenses did we have with Kobe? Even with Smush we had top 10 offenses pretty much every season.

In Kobe era when we had a contending roster, we typically contended. In the Bron era it's a bubble outlier with constant bullshyt. Westbrook failure, trying to cover up Westbrook failure by pretending he realy wanted Droz, enabling AD being a bytch, can't make an offense go with Luka. Last year it was oh we're perfect matchup for Denver and oh nvm we get our ass sent packing.

We've become a front running team, which we were not during Kobe's reign.

This is generally when I know how to discuss a team with someone. No amount of hope or faith was gonna help them. That’s been the problem the last few years posters having delusions about the team. We spent two seasons slandering Ham because expectations were too high for a mid team.

Same this season, same will happen at the start of next season lol

It’s like people don’t know how to just enjoy the sport. Most of these wild takes & “hope” come from a certain demo. The other are legit fans who just don’t know how to watch the team any other way.
