Lakers vs Nuggets: 6:30PM

Suns vs Warriors: 9PM

Both on TNT

And AD actually showed up for this one too, it's gonna look even worse in the games that he doesn't.

AD has played great the others are meh. Lebron not his usual self in the 2nd half

FTFY

So desperate for Ws it's absolutely pathetic. I'm sure people will remember those 2.5 quarters 10 years from now and bring it up during GOAT debates.

These play in teams are gassed.

LeBron went 27-6-8 on 10/16 shooting in that game and would have had 12+ assists if Russell wasn't throwing bricks up all game. What more would you have him do?

D'Angelo Russell in 5 playoff games vs Denver:

38 points on 51 shot attempts

16-51 FG (31.4%)
3-24 3FG (12.5%)

He deserves a bigger statue than Jokic.

Can't believe they brought this guy back after his no show last year.

He didn’t take any shots in the 4th until his 2 failed tip-in attempts under 2 minutes. That is not normal. He seemed kind of disinterested but maybe he was gassed.

Make sure and get him a third superstar by game 2 and all will be ok. Allocating > 60% of the cap (according to sportstrac) in two players does make building a team a challenge.

Well, if they had Kyrie instead of Russell that game, they win it.

They were down 15 by the time he came back in for the 4th Q. The game was effectively over and I'm sure he knew it.

**** LEQUIT. 0 points and 0 shots + 6 turnovers in the second half. Since when do we start blaming role players? 9 straight losses to one ****ing team? Yeah, real KING SHIT! MY ASS!!! CAN'T ****ING WAIT UNTIL HE LEAVES MY TEAM. I HOPE THEY ****ING GET SWEPT AGAIN!!!

DJ's left nut · 04-21-2024, 08:27 AM

Russell could score 40 points/gm on 70% shooting for a season and I'd still expect him to shoot the Lakers right out of any game they play against Denver.

Killed them last year, did it again yesterday.

Pasta Little Brioni · 04-21-2024, 08:37 AM

Didn't LeGM put this shit roster together?

Retire.

Become a part owner of the Lakers. And be permanently in charge of GM decisions regarding player personnel...
