why dont you keep the same energy about the roster being "extremely Unimpressive"

for the last few weeks you have been pushing a narrative about the lakers needing a 2nd star...that #3 guy demolished you midget lineup in the 3rd, while youre 2nd star went MIA in the 2nd half...

you traded away harkless and 1st for Morris yet the lakers got the morris that fit their team better for free


we exposed lou will in the 4th and kept forcing him to switch, and lou hasnt done **** in the last 2 games vs LA because length bothers him

just admit the lakers are a contending team and one of the best 3 teams in the NBA, you coward.

I'm pretty sure they'll have the same energy when the Lakers 4-1 the Grizzlies in the first round. :roll:

With the way the Clips send help at AD and LeBron, if it ain't AB it's gonna be KCP or Danny Green or Kuzma or Morris lighting them up lol. It's gonna be like a lesser version of the Raptors' 3rd star by committee last year.

That’s not the point. Lakers have lots of options and Vogel can ride the hot hands outside of LeBron/AD. You don’t need one guy to do it consistently

LAL won because of defense. And that will still be there in the playoffs.

They don't need Bradley to score 24 points in the playoffs. They can get that production from a combination of other players, no problem.

Guys like Green, Kuzma and KCP can go for 20 in any game. It just happened to be Bradley today.

Bradley has been shooting 46% from 3s at 7 attempts per game since start of February. It's not surprising when he makes half his 3s in this game when he's wide open on almost all the attempts.

im surprised pharma even mentioned AD, considering his take that LA needs that "2nd star" still :roll:

:lol:

All betting sites had the Lakers at about 47-51 wins before the season started. They’re trending towards 62-63 (though lots of resting players might prevent 60+ wins). 15+ wins more than predicted is a massive number, but as always with James’s teams, in hindsight “it’s no big deal” though at the time NOBODY predicted anything close to 60+ wins.

Would really help if there was a 3pt marksman on a consistent basis come playoffs. Assuming Bradley is going to hit 6 threes per game especially when its playoff tension type games is unreasonable.

Dont want to keep beating a old drum but I really wish this Lakers team had a JR/Korver type of combo out there roaming the 3pt line. Green can be that type of guy but even with him (like today) he is not incredibly consistent.

KCP can be that type of guy but for whatever reason they dont use him in that type of role too often

Who assumed that Bradley is going to hit 6 threes per game in the playoffs?

The Lakers don't need that. They have plenty of guys that can step up and make shots (Green, Caruso, Kuzma, Bradley, Cook, KCP, Dion, etc)

Jeez guys. It's like you don't want to accept that the Lakers are actually just good so you're trying to find some excuse as to why they aren't.

Their record is what they are. Deal with it. Accept it. Move on.

They just beat the Bucks and the Clippers. They are the best team in the league right now. The discussion should be about what other teams need to do to beat them.
