Lakers - Mamba Forever 8/24

Didn’t realize LA royalty was in the house

 

Never a doubt

 

Lonnie Walker never has to buy a meal in LA ever again

 

I'm sure that piece of shit Kerr absolutely hated that Draymond flop

 

AD out for game 6

 

He’s a huge, hypocritical cunt

 

the proud NBA playoff tradition of the Warriors facing injured/short-handed teams

 

also they better tack on a flagrant for Looney for that

 

Up 17 and wondering why they aren't running any offense through AD.

Hmmm, whatever. It's working.

 

he's conserving energy on offense so he can go 100% on defense

 

After he bricked both free throws, I figured it out.

 

guys we did it!

 

Lakers clinch and Dodgers beat the Padres again…

Edit: I’ll even throw in the Angels win

 

If Stern was still commish, Laker lock.

 

Can't believe I'm saying this but I wish we still had Dwight Howard for this upcoming series

 

Yeah, Wenyen Gabriel and Tristan Thompson do not exactly inspire me if we need an actual big for spot duty

 

Dwight did a great job getting in Jokic's head Rodman-style in the 2020 series too

 

I'll be in the building Thursday night for game 2.

 

how much were your tickets? Would love to go to Ball but don't want to pay the insane asking price for tickets

 

$600 for 2 after fees. I broke my leg so I at least have accessible seating. I'm moving to Portugal later this year so I figured this may be the last chance for a while to see the Lakers finally. Worth the price of admission for me.

 

Moving to Portugal... sounds like an interesting story. Hope they get the W for you.

 

Rest the starters and try like hell to steal game 2. Get some size back in the starting lineup too

 

Darvin any lineup with D-lo is basically a black hole against the nuggets

*Darvin nods*

*Plays him the entire first quarter*

 

‘‘Twas a good run. Resign Reeves & Rui and let Dlo walk

 

Van Gundy when a Laker gets knocked down "Flopping is worse than the Holocaust"

Van Gundy when the opponent flops "He does a great job selling the contact"

I hate him so much

 

Truth

 

A little hesitant on the Vincent deal wondering if he is just a flash in the pan but loved all the other moves. If they can get a decent center then they knocked it out of the park

 

He might need a year in South Bay, but I think getting Colin Castleton as an UDFA was a steal, should develop into a solid #2 center.

 

I saw him in like one game this year and came away liking him. The scouting department is usually pretty great at finding UDFAs so looks promising

 

Jesse is the one Buss kid I don't mind having around the decision making. The scouting department under him has been good, especially with late R1, R2, and UDFA selections.

 

Christie looks good and much stronger

JHS has a good handle and midrange touch but his outside shot is rough

 

Yeah this kid is gonna play this season

 

Not to mention by the time he's done Bron will probably have played potentially 7 or more seasons with the team. Dude saved the franchise from mediocrity and showed A-list players still wanted to play here

 

He should’ve mentioned how Clippers players get booed when they are throwing out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium or shown on the Jumbotron at LA sporting events

 

Dude seems like a head-case but he's talented and hopefully Bron can keep him in line. Plus for a 12th roster spot he's found money.

 

Ya thats a great signing the vets keep him in line. Pelinka has done a great job this offseason
