JJ has Malone’s number …

He out-coached him again. We were down four starters and two key role players and still almost won. In Denver. On a back to back.

Oh they'll immediately shift their narrative upon us winning it all.

I dont know if we've got the roster right now to win it all but we're def a dark horse.

off season will be huge though. Imo that will be the one that will make or break Pelinka.

If we even had a decent center who could play some defense and have something resembling offense we'd be contenders imo.

Malone is on the hot seat. I’d love for the Lakers to be the reason he gets canned.

This is actually a good thing. We know what we gonna get with Bron and Luka. But getting tons of playing time for the other parts is going to go a long way in confidence and experience. Connect for example.

Too bad. They fought hard with all the guys out. Great game by Reaves and Knecht.

Proud of the way we played the Nugs with the crew we had.
Tonight I think it was apparent that Reeves is back and he can carry offensive duties and that Hayes is well aware of how to be effective with Luka on offense, as well.

stan francisco · Post #169 » by **stan francisco** » Mon Mar 17, 2025 3:14 pm

Good to see the bench crew get some burn. Goodwin is solid.

Hayes is the biggest positive surprise to come out of the Luka trade. He got such a break when AD was traded for Luka. I really like Jaxson’s perimeter defense; it merits his starting role and I couldn’t be happier to see it.

Waiting for Rui and Bron to get back so we can see some of that stifling defense again. Home stretch!

Back to back game tonight will be tough. Good win yesterday.

^ Yeah let's get this win tonite, crucial to get these easier ones so we can stay on track. Im the mindset Bron will be out till April. Best he doesnt rush back and re-tweak it.
Perhaps even when he's back they ramp him up, keep him less than 20 mins per game.

Jaxson definitely is a star on this team.

I define a star being "within the context of the team and situation" and for instance, Beal being on the suns, he definitely is not a star within that context.

Beethoven · Post #171 » by **Beethoven** » Mon Mar 17, 2025 10:31 pm

LETS DOO DIS
Let's get this win tonite against the spurs and get ahead of schedule for the "holding of the fort" for Bron and Co.

Soooo Denver rest Jokic and Murray and both will play against Lakers??

Pure comedy at It's finest.

Beethoven · Post #174 » by **Beethoven** » Tue Mar 18, 2025 7:18 am

Let's beat them this time. We have the personnel.

LAKESHOW · Post #175 » by **LAKESHOW** » Tue Mar 18, 2025 2:05 pm

Good game. We have some areas of need. Like for a while there, it was a freeway down the middle of the lane for a 15-0 run. But we've always known that, and Rob has addressed that for now with Len. I think we are a match up night mare for teams, and if styles make fights, we have match up problems with certain teams too. Our seeding will be key

Wish I could watch game live, I'm about to start work in carpark atm, then golf after work.

Lakers should win this game.

Let's destroy these dumbass mcnuggetz dip em in BBQ sauce and....toss them in the macerator.

If this young player develops he could really be something

You can see the Nuggets strategy. How can they neutralize Luka. Because they believe they can even out LeBron with Aaron Gordon. They'll match blows with Austin Reeves thru Braun and Jamaal Murray. But we sent a Loud and Clear message last night. YOU HAVE NO ANSWER FOR LUKA. We are now a matchup night mare for Denver. They are not our Krypotnite any longer. I believe we face them in the playoffs they will be going down. Sure, well be having some issues in the middle, but that's on Rob if Len and whoever else as backups don't work out...but we can over come that with our shooting advantages. But Denver is no longer a serious worry this year, and they know it. The Nuggets However are a Match-up problem for OKC. And that might be the play. Force a seeding Match-up Denver with OKC. And we can take the Houston match up. Which will be a dogfight because they'll send that cheating Nut hitting player on Bron. But anyways, I believe we have finally solved the Denver problem. And they can see it, in a 7 Gamer, Luka will Destroy that team

Correct.

Let's see the current seeding:

1) OKC
2 -5) houston memphis denver LAKERS
6) gsw/clips/wolves

-

best case scenario is

1okc
2houston
3LAKERS
4memphis
5denver
6clips

Let memphis v denver v okc duke it out. I would love to have a first round matchup with clips
