Lakers 1 - 5 in their last 6

[FireDavidKahn]

What's going on? Why would a 21-19 team all of a sudden start playing like the worst team in the league?

[RRR3]

20-14 with LeBeast.

1-5 without.



God damn.


LeJesus out here carrying scrubs in his 16th season.

[Doranku]

The more I look at the schedule, the more I fail to see this team making the playoffs.

I mean, they might legitimately win 1 game in February:

@Warriors
@Pacers
@Celtics
@76ers
@Hawks
Rockets
@Pelicans
@Grizzlies
Pelicans

20-14 with LeBeast.

1-5 without.

Nah. If LeBron has to, he’ll go into playoff mode early in order to get them there. He’ll be exhausted by the playoffs though, but Lakers weren’t winning anything this year anyways.

lakers would win at least 2-3 out of 6 had lebron never signed with LA... thats the troubling thing


hes a cancer. he doesnt drastically improve teams.. they win in spite of him and his BS agenda half of the time.. he slightly improves them overall but hes killing them for the long run

[Real14]

The Knicks are 2-6 :oldlol:
The Knicks have no asterisks for rings.

God damn, Lebron wrecking another franchise.

Joins an up and coming team, trashes their chemistry and then the team plummets when he bolts with only playoff failures to show for it.

bran ball ... lakers will be dead last immediately after he leaves in 4 years

[FireDavidKahn]

The Knicks have no asterisks for rings.
Yes they do. Knicks won those championships almost 50 years ago, before the merger, and a 8 team league. Most fans that were alive back then are in retirement and starting to die.

Before merger + 8 teams in the league isn't the same as today's format. After the merger it took a lot more effort to win.

Pau has been a hugely positive impact player even up to today in his limited minutes

gasol is actually the main reason the lakers failed in 2012. any basketball fan who watched the nba back then knows this. its actually common knowledge. gasol was trash. hold up let me get the stats. theyre funny as hell

Bynum’s career ended because of injuries. In 2012, he was widely considered the second best center in the entire league.

Gasol was still really good in 2012 wtf. He was the 3rd option and was asked to shoot more jumpers than he normally would have but he still put up like 17/10 iirc

[kennethgriffen]

found em.. get this... gasol the legend averaged 12 points on 44% and 0% threes vs okc... and i remember in a pivotal game he bricked both free throws at the end to cost them the series basically...

lulz

[stalkerforlife]

Desperately need Kuzma and Rondo back.

[kennethgriffen]

[QUOTE=RRR3]Bynum

elite allstar big men dont fall out of the league all together because of knee surgery


if he was any good he could have been at the very least a serviceable nba player
Yeah man. Andrew Bynum was never any good and Pau Gasol was a scrub in 2012.

Shaq was a scrub too I bet.

bynum was an allstar with kobe for the same reason kwame looked like a serviceable big man while playing with kobe


pau gasol WAS infact A SCRUB in the 2012 playoffs

yes... he sh*t the bed vs okc... 12ppg on 44%, 0% threes and bricked crucial free throws that cost LA the series

yes you are right

yes gasol was a scrub by then. he followed that up with a dog sh*t 2013 and getting swept in the first round without kobe and leading LA without kobe to a dog shit record in 2014


gasol was finished by 2012. he came back alive in chicago only because the nba was going much smaller and he was playing in the east.


now enough already. shut the f*ck up

Imagine actually thinking this lol.

thinking?


i guess gasols 12ppg on 44%, missing crucial free throws to cost them the series is just a thought and not reality

gasols 13ppg on 46% for the 2013 season and getting swept without kobe is a thought of mine and not reality

the lakers 27-55 record without kobe in 2014 with gasol as leader is just a thought

its all in my head lol


gasol isn't winless as lead dog in the playoffs




bynum falling out of the league without kobe is a false premonition!

There's your problem right there. lol @ Pau at the 3pt line. Maybe if Kobe didn't reduce everyone to a spot up shooter and allowed for a more free flowing equal opportunity offense like LeHung, he'd have legit alpha dog rings.

Okay, so LeBron won with absolute trash in 2013 right?

Because Wade averaged like 16 PPG in the playoffs on pretty uninspiring efficiency iirc, and Bosh was around 12 PPG I believe.

i'm sorry. when was luke, blake, hill, barnes or ebanks stepping up and dropping 20 point games for kobe like ray allen did in games 1 and 3 vs Milwaukee and game 5 vs sanantonio, norris cole in games 2 and 3 vs chicago, haslem in game 3 vs indiana, chalmers in game 4 vs indiana and games 2 and 6 vs sanantonio, battier in game 7 vs sanantonio



the problem wasn't that lebron had shitty 2nd and 3rd stars... the problem for lebron in 2013 was he had TOO MUCH HELP



did i even bring up the bail out by ray allen that saved the season yet? oh yeah theres that too

Wow Ray Allen hit the game winning shot?

Oh wait whut, that tied the game? Oh, but they won it in overtime and ended the series right.

OH wait whut, that was only game 6? What happened in game 7?

Oh Bron put up 37-12-4 on 52% and game winning shot?

Nothing to see here.

a bail out shot is when a teammate is put in a position where if he makes the shot the season continues or if he misses the shot the season ends...this happened in 2013 game 6 after lebron bricked a 3


yes duncan blew a wide open layup to cost sanantonio game 7. yes lebron finally started hitting wide open 15-18 footers that pop dared lebron to shoot all series and bricked routinely for all 6 games


yes... but if you give any loser enough extra chances they're bouned to get lucky

they were trending down.

and they had both kuz and rondo during the pre christmas plummet.

This.

Lakers - Lebron = blow out the back-to-back champions on the road

Lakers - Lebron - Rondo = play head to head with lower level playoff teams

Lakers - Lebron - Rondo - Kuz = lottery team

Games 1-13 for 90' Pippen:. 15.7 ppg.. 7.4 rpg.. 4.5 apg.. 46 2 ts.. 11.5 gamescore
Lastb 6 games for Ingram:.n 18.5 ppg.. 7.0 rpg.. 3.3 apg.. 47.1 ts.. 11.5 gamescore

Exactly... :applause: ... Some logic itt

Obviously, if you took mj, grant and paxson off the 1990 bulls - they're a lottery team

and pippen would've shot horrifically as #1 option with all the pressure on him - so people need to lay off Ingram, whose stats still match pippen's despite the #1 option burden that has reduced his efficiency (see the stats in previous post above)
