NBA Los Angeles Lakers thread

[Cassano]

Middleton was terrible in the Raptors series last year, so it does happen often in high leverage moments.

Bucks run a bit of a different system from last season.

Yeah not really.

Recent results definitely more encouraging vs these teams.

Clap back after the western finals

The fact that he’s in the MVP discussion makes your claim “his time is over” already moot.

Which makes Lebron clearly the goat.

Just like in 90% of your posts what the f*** are you on about

 

[Cassano]

One thing that stood out was Danny Green's line today. 0 pts 0 assists in 25 mins.

Sorta shocking considering how good he was last regular season for the Raptors.

It's so hilarious that when any Laker fan or any other poster comes in here and posts anything positive about the team, a bunch of random posters come in just to downplay whatever's being said. Do the Lakers really take up that much of your headspace?

LeBron's fans don't want to admit he wouldn't be winning anything this year unless he was joined by a top 5 player like AD.

He was very inconsistent last year. Good games followed by bad games.

Like imagine coming into a thread to post something so f***ing obvious.

AD has won one playoff round in his career without LeBron..

Why are you whining so much? It seems that if people don't agree with you that LeBron Is Mr. Incredible you get all hissy. Lebron is still a great player but he's not the guy he was even 3 years ago. AD is the guy who is opening up the floor for LeBron to do his thing.

He’s 35 and 2nd in the MVP race, he seems to be doing just fine.

People love to hate on greatness. You’re the one who came into a thread after a big win, to discredit LeBron’s value.

Did I say he wasn't doing fine??? Did i say the Lakers were crap??? I saw the game and was impressed how AD caused so many problems for the Clippers. Like it or not he is the key for the Lakers this year.

You said the Lakers were Davis’ team, which is CLEARLY wrong to anyone who actually watches them play.

They're whining? It seems to me that you came in here, added nothing to the discussion and started crying about Lebron.

The lengths people go to discredit this guy is legit comical at this point.

Crying about LeBron? No extolling the abilities of AD is more like it. And you are adding sweet F all to the discussion.

Being a " small business " I sure hope the Lakers can survive until everything gets back to normal.


from time.com:

The Los Angeles Lakers have repaid a loan of roughly $4.6 million from coronavirus business relief funds after learning the program had been depleted.

The Lakers applied for the loan under the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program, a part of the federal government’s $2.2 trillion stimulus package. The Lakers’ request was granted in the first round of distribution, but after the fund ran out of money in less than two weeks, the team returned its loan, as did several wealthier business including Shake Shack and AutoNation.

The Lakers issued a statement Monday confirming what happened.

“The Lakers qualified for and received a loan under the Payroll Protection Program,” the statement read. “However, once we found out the funds from the program had been depleted, we repaid the loan so that financial support would be directed to those most in need. The Lakers remain completely committed to supporting both our employees and our community.”
