Another Laker thread 

Post#1 » by shi-woo » Sun Apr 7, 2024 1:43 pm

This has been the weirdest season in years for me on this forum. I've found myself standing up for LeBron more than I would like ( :banghead: ) and now feel ridiculous being the person who's been standing up for the Lakers all year too. This team has clearly fooled so many people, and have gone under the radar all season, but anyone who's watched the NBA for years knows this team is essentially the 22 Warriors and 2010 Celtics. IMO Lakers have clearly been the #2 team out West all year when healthy, like they are now, and want to make this thread so when they make the WCF and "overachieve" like they did last season we can bump this thread to quell the talking heads.

For some reason people are treating this team like the 04 Lakers, old and not with it. This team is not old. LeBron is old, everyone else on this roster is at their zenith, and playing the best basketball of their careers. They have one of the deepest rosters in the league, and are one of maybe 4-5 teams that can play big and small. They can kill you inside or out, and have the ability to go off from all 3 levels. They play playoff basketball is what i'm trying to say (yall love the Heat for the same reason, but they are worse)

They have probably the best Big 2 out West in LeBron and AD, two players who are probably going to make All-NBA 2nd, or 1st team if you are a LeBron stan.

Rui, Reaves, and Dlo are fantastic players to have alongside those 2 in the starting lineup, and idk why you all hate on DLo so much. Maybe i'm biased because every time I've watched him play live he smokes people, but the dude is a good player. Not #2 pick worthy, but he's clearly a good player and you all need to acknowledge that.

Their bench has gotten beaten up, but I still like the vets they have. Prince and Dinwiddie are awesome vets to have come off the bench in the playoffs, and the 8th guy for their playoff rotation can be Gabe, Hayes, Cam, Vandy (not sure if he's going to play) depending on what they need on any given night.

The shortest player in their lineup is '6'3 200lb Dlo. They are going to be able to throw size at every single player, and we know that makes a huge difference over the course of a 7 game series when every play is a battle. They have size on the wings in Rui, Cam, LeBron, and Prince. Multiple guys that can make plays, and most importantly, they have dudes that are just shooting lights out from 3 this year.

They are one of the best Defensive rebounding teams in the league, something that is one of the most under rated aspects of basketball, and is one of the barometers of a team that plays solid playoff ball. They've gotten killed on the offensive boards this year, but I don't see that carrying over in the PO.

They can slow the game down, get to the foul line more than most teams, but still are in the top percent in terms of shooting percentage. They are top of the league in FTs, yet commit the least fouls per game. Something that will only stand out more once the games get tighter and more intense.

I see no conceivable way for teams like MInn, OKC, NO, PHX, or SAC to beat this team. LAC are going to need KAwhii to outplay LeBron, and I don't see that happening with his current health and LeBron knowing this is probably his last real chance to get #5. Mavs have a shot given Kyrie and Luka's ability to create something out of nothing, and I think DEN would also be a pick em. People forget, they played Denver well last year, they just kept getting smoked at the end of games. With more cohetion this year, i would expect that series to be different.

I'll take all the smoke if i'm wrong, but i'm calling it, LA in the WCF, and don't be surprised if they give DEN a series

They played the regular season perfectly as far as their capabillities go. They started slow, and up-ed their form for IST, won it and then went straight down, and started playing again after all-star. Their stars can't play full-season on 100%. Lebron is old, AD is injury prone. They played half of the season on 50% and now they will get to 6th or 7th spot, avoid the Nuggets in the first round. If they get OKC it will be best possible scenario for them because matchup is perfect, but i think they are beating Minny also, mostly on expirience of Lebron and AD.
IMO they have a chance to win it all this season, they are not the favourites, but i wouldn't be surprised at all if they win it. One injury for the Nuggets and series is even, and even without injury Nuggets can have a shoting slump or who knows what and it is still possible.
Even better option would be if the Suns(which i think are best suited team to beat the Nuggets) knock-out Nuggets and then face the Lakers.
IMO favourites to come out of the West in this order are:
1. Nuggets
2. Lakers
3. Clippers
4. Suns
5. OKC
6. Minny

And i'm writing all of that as Pelicans fan and Lakers hater.

The Lakers definitely stumbled this regular season which was weird because both Lebron and AD were fairly healthy but the way they are finishing the season off shows me that they could be a serious contender. Because Lebron is still playing at a high level, I would always give them a chance.

Last two months they are 0-7 vs Warriors, Suns, Kings, and Nuggets. They did have two good wins against Thunder and Minny. Gobert did not play, however.

What you are seeing is combination of a ridiculously easy schedule stretch to close out the season, and the fact it is becoming blatant that the NBA's product has become closer than an ever to an exhibition sport like professional wrestling. I mean, they are not even trying to hide it with the Lakers ridiculous FTA disparity. They 10+ FT's per game during their recent run and that's even with the refs attempting to rein it all in and make the numbers look somewhat plausible. They have several games during the win streak where they were 15 to 30+ FTA advantage. It's just gross. The league needs to just put Lebron James in a pair of tights and let him just jump off the top rope, suplex opposing teams best players, and wear spandex and NWO jerseys, so we can actually dispense with this charade they are calling real basketball games.

“When healthy”

Top 6 players in minutes per game have missed:
AD 5 games
Lebron 10 games (even after load management)
Reaves 0 games
Russel 0 games
Rui 12 games
Prince 4 games


Seems like they’ve had a pretty consistent main core, in fact - they’re all award eligible! - yet won’t win 50 games… tough to be 2nd best in the west when you can’t win 50

Not always, but the 2nd best team in the conference usually isn’t in the bottom half of the play in.

Edit - oh they’ve moved up to the 8th seed today. Well watch out, June!

And yet, it's worth mentioning that they play a ton in the paint... where you draw FTAs. There is something to be said for style of play over conspiracy theory in terms of how teams generate their fouls, to at least some degree. AD and Lebron are .400 and .316 FTr. Lebron's getting hosed as he has since like 2019, and AD is at about his usual for his style of play. Austin Reaves is at .292 after .541 last year.

So what we're actually seeing is likely a little more like normalization of their draw rates.

Facts, but that might not be how the season ends, and using the past couple of seasons as precedence with the Lakers ripping the hearts out of the Grizz last year, Heat in 20 and 23, and Hawks in 21, it seems this is more common in the non super team era, and shouldn't be disregarded. It's why the play in teams out west have gotten more love than the other teams, and experience does matter.

After watching the young Kings and Grizz fold in the same position, why assume that OKC and MIN are going to be any different this time around?

Ive been saying it since the start of the season Lakers have always been favorites and always had a strong team Lebron and AD still the best duo in the league when healthy. Lebron has the best #2 option in the league. Tatum got Brown (not bad but not good either). Jokic got Murray (health is always a question, not reliable). Meanwhile Lebron got AD a top 75 player of all time. (man it reminds me Lebron always gets the best teammates since 2011 Wade, Bosh, Ray Allen, Kyrie, AD everywhere he goes he got greats haha)

Anyway, it’s just Klutch strategy. Lebron wants to be the lower seed coming into playoffs so there are low expectations of winning and he doesn't get the blame if they do lose because they have a low seed/record anyway and a scapegoat in Ham, AD, Dlo lol. But WHEN they do win, it’s the biggest achievement of ALL TIME because hey Lebron just won his team as the 8TH/9TH SEED. Never been done. It’s Klutch/Lebron strategy and narrative-building at its finest. Dont fall for it.

Lebron has had stacked teams ever since he got to the Lakers. He just doesn't give it his all in the reg season because he is older and because he wants lower expectations and high reward when they do win just like last year when the media was glazing him for reaching the WCF as the 7th seed when he got AD, Dlo, Schroder, Reaves, Rui - a damn stacked team when Kobe, Jordan, Curry got garbage in their late 30’s.

29th in 3-point rate.

MO Lakers have clearly been the #2 team out West all year when healthy, like they are now


The thing is that the Lakers have been healthier than anyone could have ever hoped. AD is about to hit 75 games, and Lebron will hit 70. Everyone was saying "if the Lakers get 65 games out of Lebron and AD they're one of the top teams in the West". The Lakers have had one of the healthiest top 6s in the league this year.

So the sub 50-win season has been a disappointment. The 2010 Celtics and 2022 Warriors you mentioned won 50 and 53 games, respectively.

idk why you all hate on DLo so much. Maybe i'm biased because every time I've watched him play live he smokes people, but the dude is a good player. Not #2 pick worthy, but he's clearly a good player and you all need to acknowledge that.


D'Lo is having a very solid season and deserves recognition for that. He has yet to play well in the playoffs in his career. He's been an extreme hot and cold guy the past 4-5 seasons, and his cold stretches have hit in the playoffs too often. On top of that his screen navigation can make him a defensive liability. I'm down for D'Lo to get hot in the playoffs (and get lucky with matchups so he doesn't get overly exploited on defense), but he's going to get scorn until he does something to change the narrative.


The shortest player in their lineup is '6'3 200lb Dlo. They are going to be able to throw size at every single player, and we know that makes a huge difference over the course of a 7 game series when every play is a battle. They have size on the wings in Rui, Cam, LeBron, and Prince. Multiple guys that can make plays, and most importantly, they have dudes that are just shooting lights out from 3 this year.


The Lakers have size for sure. It helped them get to the WCF last year, and would surely be a nice asset in a matchup with against someone like OKC or Phoenix. But the West is bigger than last year. Last year the Lakers beat up a Memphis team who was missing almost all their rotation bigs and a very tiny Warriors team (who's biggest player was sick). The Lakers were not big enough against the Nuggets and still aren't. I's not just the Nuggets. The Timberwolves are huge, Dallas has multiple big rim protectors, Clippers can play big whenever they want, so can the Pelicans. How many matchups can the Lakers say they definitely have the size advantage against? AD is smaller than almost every other WC center. Sure he can probably bully the rookies (Chet, Lively), but in most matchups he'll be trying to use his quickness (Zu, Nurk, Jokic, Gobert, Val).

They are one of the best Defensive rebounding teams in the league, something that is one of the most under rated aspects of basketball, and is one of the barometers of a team that plays solid playoff ball. They've gotten killed on the offensive boards this year, but I don't see that carrying over in the PO.

They can slow the game down, get to the foul line more than most teams, but still are in the top percent in terms of shooting percentage. They are top of the league in FTs, yet commit the least fouls per game. Something that will only stand out more once the games get tighter and more intense.


The Lakers will continue to get "killed" on the offensive boards if they continue to play the same style. The Lakers strategy is ultra-conservativism. They prioritize transition defense over offensive boards. They don't force turnovers. They don't shoot a ton of 3s. It's all in their gameplan.



I see no conceivable way for teams like MInn, OKC, NO, PHX, or SAC to beat this team. LAC are going to need KAwhii to outplay LeBron, and I don't see that happening with his current health and LeBron knowing this is probably his last real chance to get #5. Mavs have a shot given Kyrie and Luka's ability to create something out of nothing, and I think DEN would also be a pick em. People forget, they played Denver well last year, they just kept getting smoked at the end of games. With more cohetion this year, i would expect that series to be different.

I'll take all the smoke if i'm wrong, but i'm calling it, LA in the WCF, and don't be surprised if they give DEN a series


I'd believe in this team if the defense had been closer to top 5 all season rather than top 15. I don't see what this team does well enough to beat a strong opponent. The Lakers offense isn't good because they're low on shooting, and they don't have a guy who can break down the defense. They rely on a bludgeoning style that is effective, but low upside.

I like the solidness of this team. I liked it last year too after they made those trades and went to the WCF. But the defense is a real concern. It needed to be ELITE and it's just been average. I do think they can kick up the defense a notch in the playoffs, but schematically they're very vulnerable to teams that will gun from deep. The Lakers protect the paint at the expense of 3s, so again I only really see OKC as a good upset candidate. The Wolves are vulnerable to this with Towns' injury, but the Lakers offense is going to have a really hard time scoring against that giant defense.

The Denver thing is just...c'mon man the Nuggets have now beat them 8 times in a row. The Lakers winning a game against the Nuggets would be a cause for celebration at this point. Without injury luck, everyone should be very very surprised if they gave the Nuggets a series.

Health?
Grizzlies were without starting center Steven Adams and the main frontcourt backup Brandan Clarke. On top of that, Ja Morant and Luke Kennard got injured during the series. That series shouldn't be a point of pride for the Lakers. They did the job, but they were finishing off an opponent that was already dead.

I don't think the Kings "folded". They went 7 games against the defending champ Warriors.

OKC (+6.5 SRS) and Minny (+6.8) are quite a bit better than Memphis (+3.6) or Sacramento (+2.3) were last year. Minny could certainly be vulnerable with the Towns injury, and OKC does have some things to exploit (also I'm waiting to see how Shai is looking coming back from that quad injury). There was a lot more parity in the league last year, with no teams really standing out by the numbers during the regular season (except Boston). It was a good year for teams like LA and Miami to surprise everyone. This year, the teams at the top look more the part of contenders by their regular season numbers.

The Nuggets are 8-0 against the Lakers in their last 8 games, Sabonis is 10-0 against AD, the Mavs are 13-2 in their last 15 games, Minnesota has a point differential of +7.0, and if Kawhi returns healthy the Clippers are a better team.

You can talk about the 2010 Celtics, but they won 50 games and had a net rating of +4.0. The Lakers have a net rating of +0.7. The 2010 Celtics were 5th in defensive rating. The Lakers are 14th.

The Lakers aren’t even sure to make it out of the play-in.

Anyone bringing up records and net ratings I think is missing the overall point. For better or worse, season aggregates are becoming less of an indicator than prior years. I believe the play-in has changed the strategies of teams, particularly ones employing older superstars. The Lakers' record specifically is depressed by poor coaching and internal strife from the beginning of the year.

That stretch after the IST when they went 5-11 against the most winnable teams is the difference between them in the top 4-5 in the West and in the play-in. Would anyone reasonably use that as the differentiator when betting on them today? This team is very clearly markedly different right now. I'd take the Lakers over a fully healthy Clippers right now. I'd take them over anyone in the playoffs except the Nuggets, and so should you. They need another two-way starter and a better coach to compete with Denver though, so better luck next year I guess.

Lakers did similar things last year. They're in prime position now. They have the potential to get the 6th seed by winning out and the Suns losing 2 of their next 5 games. That would likely net them one of OKC or Minnesota in the 1st round (one is young and the other has injury issues) and then again potentially one of those two in the 2nd round. There's a potential finals path or at the very least a rematch of last years WCF again for Bron and AD.

The Lakers the last several years are the #1 reason i HATE the play-in nonsense....it lets teams cake walk the season and be a 8, 9 or 10 seed most years being setn home instead they just have to come in and actually play well for 2 games and all of sudden they get a free ride through the playoffs becasue they lolligagged all season

What makes this possible is that the top seeds are younger and more vulnerable. The Lakers are 4-0 against OKC this year. The Wolves are still missing KAT and it's unclear how they look when he comes back. The Clippers are a mess right now. And the Heat have just known how to beat the Bucks and Celtics in prior years.

If LA draws Denver the first round, they'll be a first round exit, but it could just as well have been a WCF repeat. It's circumstantial to every team's strengths and weaknesses. I don't think it should be an indictment of the play-in forever.

Last year the Lakers beat up a Memphis team who was missing almost all their rotation bigs and a very tiny Warriors team (who's biggest player was sick). The Lakers were not big enough against the Nuggets and still aren't. I's not just the Nuggets. The Timberwolves are huge, Dallas has multiple big rim protectors, Clippers can play big whenever they want, so can the Pelicans. How many matchups can the Lakers say they definitely have the size advantage against? AD is smaller than almost every other WC center. Sure he can probably bully the rookies (Chet, Lively), but in most matchups he'll be trying to use his quickness (Zu, Nurk, Jokic, Gobert, Val).

They are one of the best Defensive rebounding teams in the league, something that is one of the most under rated aspects of basketball, and is one of the barometers of a team that plays solid playoff ball. They've gotten killed on the offensive boards this year, but I don't see that carrying over in the PO.

They can slow the game down, get to the foul line more than most teams, but still are in the top percent in terms of shooting percentage. They are top of the league in FTs, yet commit the least fouls per game. Something that will only stand out more once the games get tighter and more intense.


The Lakers will continue to get "killed" on the offensive boards if they continue to play the same style. The Lakers strategy is ultra-conservativism. They prioritize transition defense over offensive boards. They don't force turnovers. They don't shoot a ton of 3s. It's all in their gameplan.



I see no conceivable way for teams like MInn, OKC, NO, PHX, or SAC to beat this team. LAC are going to need KAwhii to outplay LeBron, and I don't see that happening with his current health and LeBron knowing this is probably his last real chance to get #5. Mavs have a shot given Kyrie and Luka's ability to create something out of nothing, and I think DEN would also be a pick em. People forget, they played Denver well last year, they just kept getting smoked at the end of games. With more cohetion this year, i would expect that series to be different.

I'll take all the smoke if i'm wrong, but i'm calling it, LA in the WCF, and don't be surprised if they give DEN a series


I'd believe in this team if the defense had been closer to top 5 all season rather than top 15. I don't see what this team does well enough to beat a strong opponent. The Lakers offense isn't good because they're low on shooting, and they don't have a guy who can break down the defense. They rely on a bludgeoning style that is effective, but low upside.

I like the solidness of this team. I liked it last year too after they made those trades and went to the WCF. But the defense is a real concern. It needed to be ELITE and it's just been average. I do think they can kick up the defense a notch in the playoffs, but schematically they're very vulnerable to teams that will gun from deep. The Lakers protect the paint at the expense of 3s, so again I only really see OKC as a good upset candidate. The Wolves are vulnerable to this with Towns' injury, but the Lakers offense is going to have a really hard time scoring against that giant defense.

The Denver thing is just...c'mon man the Nuggets have now beat them 8 times in a row. The Lakers winning a game against the Nuggets would be a cause for celebration at this point. Without injury luck, everyone should be very very surprised if they gave the Nuggets a series.



You nailed every aspect.
