How did the Lakers become so damn good

How did the Lakers become so damn good

When your owner and GM are on the same page and want to win

 

[BBert]

Desmond Bane gets slapped on the arm, loses ball out of bounds.

Called Laker ball.

SVG: “All that matters is they got the call right!”

They didn't. Lebron touched it. You can tell by the change in rotation.

 

[BBert]

Dammit

 

[DDolla]

It’s over for the Grizzlies.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Lakers are to good. I can’t believe this team started 2-11

They got back way more than they gave up at the trade deadline. The Jazz and Wolves gifted them complementary players to put around LeBron and the Brow.

This team didn't. They didn't have Rui, Vando, DLo and other contributors.

 

[Chris Craig]

Memphis just can't overcome Ja Morants hand Injury.

 

[blazerkor]

That's entertainment!

 

[THE HCP]

Memphis just can't overcome Ja Morants hand Injury.

Is that why they lost?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Brooks talks trash about LeBron and they lose the next two.
Seriously if the Grizzlies are good what are we calling the Lakers about now?

We need to get back to the playoffs, this is simply amazing

You don’t really think that right? Those were back to back two FANTASTIC NBA games.

We would be getting absolutely handled by the Nuggets / Grizz / Kings

But but but Dillon Brooks says he’s old and I believe a couple on this site believe that also?

Probably.

My bad I thought this was the AROUND THE LEAGUE thread. Maybe I should post this in one of the 17 threads about the draft that everybody is excited to be a part of instead of the playoffs. What do you think?

injuries are always a big factor in the playoffs...always. If not for injuries the Spurs would have 7 or 8 championships instead of 5...and the Blazers would have at least 1 more championship too

I think Memphis is missing what Steven Adams does for them as well.

Unfortunately, the Blazers don't get saved by the league like the Lakers do.

And Brandon Clarke.

You are one of those who really think the refs have it out certain teams huh? Wow.

 

[Chris Craig]

If the Lakers and GSW both make it to the next round that's gonna suck for the NBA. Both of their darlings. One will have to go.

 

[THE HCP]

And Brandon Clarke.

Maybe Silver had a crew sent out to injure Brandon Clarke.

Don't be stupid.

Warriors vs Lakers… now that will be EPIC

 

[THE HCP]

If the Lakers and Warriors play in the second round, I promise you that will be the most watched second round matchup in the history of the NBA. That’s NOT gonna suck for the NBA.
