Remember all those low IQ poster saying how the Lakers kept losing because

[Full Court]

Lebron was out "injured"?

:roll:

As it turns out, Full Court was right yet AGAIN. And the Bronie fluffers demonstrate their idiocy yet again.

This is getting to be a frequent trend. :lol

but but Lebron is the best player on the lakers!!! lollol

[Phoenix]

There's no way they should be losing to Orlando and Chicago with both Lebron and Luka on the court. Granted they're not pushover teams and they'll fight you but still, when you're battling for playoff seeding and a bad week can take you from 2nd to 5th, those are the games you can't let slip away. At the bare minimum you need to beat the teams you're 'supposed' to beat as a cushion.

[Real Men Wear Green]

I haven't watched much but the paint defense is a weakness in paper. I wonder if that is getting exploited? Regardless James has been their best player this season. Him not playing great immediately upon return from injury doesn't change that fact.

[Phoenix]

The Lively/Gafford duo at center was the perfect kind of big to put with Luka. You don't need someone clogging up the post on offense, just active guys around the paint who double as lob threats when the defense collapses on Luka's drives to the basket.

I still see Luka reverting back to his lazy defensive habits. He's slow footed and lacks lateral speed, but gets alot of steals mostly because he has good anticipation. Overall, he doesn't really have a high motor so 95% of his energy is going to be on the offensive end.

Their postseason successes will mainly be about who they match up with. They want series with Minnesota (stupid 1-star team who let Doncic rest on defense last playoff), Houston (hustle hard and have a great coach but will lose a postseason series where they get 10 less free throws per game because they have no superstar) , or Memphis (simillar to Houston),. They have a reasonable shot vs the Warriors but I see that series going either way. I would still take Denver because although they beat Denver in the full strength game earlier this season with some clever coaching that shouldn't work more than once. If Jokic only gets 7 shots per game over a series someone needs to be fired. Also the later they meet in that playoffs the worse it is for LA because James and Doncic are both liable to wear down, James due to age and Doncic due to conditioning. Lastly they should want no part of OKC. SGA would destroy them attacking the basket and the difference in energy, defense and quality big men would be massive. The Lakers need the Warriors or whoever to upset Thunder to make the Finals.

I wouldn't be completely surprised if the Clippers did it ( assuming of course Kawhi's knee miraculously holds up).

I wouldn't be completely surprised if the Clippers did it ( assuming of course Kawhi's knee miraculously holds up).I need to see Leonard last a whole postseason before I believe in that team. Just not something you can count on, more like a team that you can count out.

I mean as far as a potential first round matchup. IF, the most giant of IFs, Kawhi's available and playing like he is now, I think they have a puncher's chance against OKC. Not something I'd bet money on though( Kawhi being healthy). Right now GS, Clips and the Wolvers are pretty neck and neck at seeds 6-8. Don't know how all of that will shake-out along with the play-in teams.

they're like the guy with the most expensively made underwear, but then can't hold up in bed because supposedly all the friction down there makes them go premature.

it's more about if the air flows for me.
