Rondo - Cousins - AD won 48 games together 2 years ago

[coined]

And they swapped Jrue Holiday for Lebron James, Kyzle kuzma and Danny Green.
If this team doesnt win 60 games, Lebron is out of my top 5 players all time list.

How do you go from making the finals to not making the playoffs and then being expected to get 60 wins?

LeBron is clearly a manufactured star. Can't win on his own, steals credit when he wins, blames others when he fails.

Seriously? Cousins is brain dead and Rondo was broke down 5 years ago when he played for the bulls. I wouldn't count on Rondo to do anything but get into a few scraps and get a few ejections. He certainly won't hit his free throws

Just like Lebron

Just like Lebron

Good thing Lakers got an "L" in their name cuz they better get used to losing!

[LoneyROY7]

You realize this was before Demarcus tore his achilles AND his quad, right?

[GimmeThat]

with the current team salary structure, if you took a survey on their match up and the point differentials they expected and summarized it.

sure, some teams are gonna tank, so 60 wins sound good. As to ranking players based on such metric. It really just sounds like you don't make enough money and you are upset there are people out there generate high returns when they do and you should be able to jump the ladder when some of them don't.

so poker summary : the difference between a 4-1 series and a 4-2 series is huge, but I bet you treat tournament just like cash game spying on their networth to learn you lose out on the bubble because you thought going against the current of the chip leader is a "defining" move

i agree with the statement, but, however, last year Lakers didnt make the playoff is due to constant injuries and young blood's inconsistency and luke walton.

Lebron/ball/ingram/kuz/hart is a playoff team.

They've should of made the playoffs. It was there for their taking when Lebron went into playoff mode. And instead you saw what happened.

[And1AllDay]

Mirotic, Tony Allen, Asik, Jrue Holiday, pre injury Cousins

get a grip :oldlol:

[2swift4u]

Lakers look great at first sight but like some other people here have mentioned you can't really expect much from Boogie and Rondo anymore. I think Lebron, AD and Danny Green are the only guys on the team you can really count on.

[BigTicket]

Silly argument, a lot of things can and did happen in 2 years.

[iamgine]

GSW won 73 games a few seasons ago.

Then Durant joined and they won 57 games. :(

[ImKobe]

60 wins is like their ceiling, I'd say 50 wins at least or bust though.

[GreatHILL]

the lakers goin straight to the lottery nothing has changed lebron is old and a damn team cancer

What about Kuzma?

I also wouldn't count out both Bradley & KCP - one of them is going to be solid. Cook you can count on for shooting. Caruso will be solid in limited minutes - if he plays well, don't be surprised if Lakers trade away Rondo & allow Caruso to lead 2nd unit.

[DocSlam]

Rondo is Cook's back up now. Hopefully, he can embrace that role and be a mentor to a younger and better player.

[Smoke117]

Rondo? More like Jrue Holiday, Cousins, and Davis won 48 games together. Rondo's impact was nil.

And Jrue was replaced by LeGOAT... no excuses :eek:

[SpaceJam2]
