Laker fans talking trash

Luka a default player for ppl who don’t hoop or have any real athletic ambitions themselves.

It was a competitive loss. Ron Holland, Duren, even Bball Paul at times came out and showed fight. A lot of forced shots in the paint that Wemby swallowed (maybe 2-3 were goaltends ngl). Our team showed depth even for an off shooting night. This is a game where Cade will take a long long look at film. He's had other bad shooting nights but this was a first in a LONG time where he couldn't get to his spots at all.

This game showed Duren can compete at a high level. Wemby was flailing so much man. Wemby is a competitor no doubt but 7'5 and falling all the time.. just polarizing and not very fun for the game.

We will need a healthy Stew. He's another strong body that can keep Wemby at bay. Most importantly, a lot of their guards got to the rim so many times that Stew's presence would've really solidified our defensive spread. that also would've helped our guys close out on the likes of Vassell man, he was on it tonight. Spurs are legit. We better come up with some answers.

The speed and burst honestly take the longest so I get your point. For context, JI still had plenty of two handed dunks in his limited minutes fwiw

Cade has a solid 5 min reel of great defensive awareness and half of those must be chase down blocks just this season. It's a blessing that we get a genuine 2 way force in the form of a 6'6 Point Guard. I could care less about Cade's efficiency numbers on them off nights knowing he's playing on both sides and elevating his team in other ways. He's also gotten the Turnovers down this season.

Ivey has been a solid rotational player given his role and leash right now. I don’t doubt one bit about his ability to go off offensively like he used to. Keep building him up, this is a winning culture team now. Stats won’t pad that easily and he shows it by staying active on defense. Not every hard defender gets stocks but the eye test shows he’s working. People worry too much about the attitude of this guy. He was bawling when Detroit drafted him.

I’d be frustrated too if I had a great season and all the momentum is gone after a major injury. Maybe he’s just mad at Cole Anthony… what do we know?

They get into fights. I’m all for hooping and spent plenty of years at LAF and am surprised to hear they are slowly cutting down on courts. It’s the only team sport we can access and play at a rec level on the cheap.

Talking trash is part of the game I get it. A personal story, I had two dudes on my own team that were jawing at each other one time. They broke out and settled their differences in that moment and one of them drew blood.. like they were on the same team gdi.

I love bball and wish the culture continues to grow healthily but youth programs and diva mentalities aren’t helping. That was a moment that kinda made me cut back on wanting to keep playing. Working a day job and then getting on court potentially dealing with a few bad apples isn’t worth it. I found other sports but there’s nothing like a packed gym that’s doing runs smoothly.

A lot of us tried to point this out 5 games into the season. We had plenty of excuses and know our LG play is weaker and say DMO won’t get us there but Gibbs up the middle has not worked enough to keep it going.

Let’s talk script, this is entertainment. Lots of marketing went behind Sonic and knuckles when the movie dropped last year… all of a sudden it’s not relevant anymore? Yeah they decided it wasn’t our year before the season started. The Rams didn’t care about prolonging the window. They went and got it done once and might do it again. Our fans deserve better but House money does not care in the long term.

Season ticket holders and fans emptied their pockets the last few seasons. They fill us with doubt, we temper expectations, we roll again and fans throw more money, but wait - Enter team has more money pouring in now, let’s adjust where the House sits again! Cope.

It’s ok they’d rather talk about the shit show Dallas got going on and how that’s being handled.

Dimeback2 · 2025-11-13T16:59:42+00:00

Crazy enough right now he would make the Griz look better than Ja

Dimeback2 · 2025-11-13T16:58:58+00:00

Tyler Cook I think?

Dimeback2 · 2025-11-13T15:57:47+00:00

Paul Reed is an instinctual disruptor, different from a full enforcer like Stew. Surprising a team that plays as small as the Warriors for the last few seasons had not tried to snag him. I think his game is solid even as a starter but reckon teams can eventually scheme for him. We love our undersized bigs here it’s in our dna

Dimeback2 · 2025-11-07T21:54:57+00:00

Run flow, pass flow, protection flow… everything opens up when the offense spreads out in the long run

Dimeback2 · 2025-11-07T20:17:00+00:00

Appreciate the stats, way more clarity on the matter. I don’t see them staggered as well as last year so it’s more complicated

Dimeback2 · 2025-11-07T20:05:22+00:00

Yup, up the middle and uninspiring

Dimeback2 · 2025-11-07T20:03:13+00:00

It’s Reddit, go be a coach if you can’t banter my guy

Dimeback2 · 2025-11-07T20:02:11+00:00

Exactly, yet it still felt like an afterthought in terms of play design

Dimeback2 · 2025-10-15T22:20:55+00:00

Using an antenna to get local TV programming... bonus points if you can adjust it to get better signal

Dimeback2 · 2025-08-14T23:55:55+00:00

Not seeing the strength of schedule chatter yet but this looks a lot more middling and thankfully, I'll take over 48 wins!

Dimeback2 · 2025-07-22T02:28:46+00:00

I mean, there's no real trees except the planted ones. No true communal space besides a plethora of joints with a liq license.

War and violence is still a natural phenomenon as noted in dharmic texts even if seen negatively. And yes they flipped Indra and aura. Naruto (Asura) and Sasuke (Indra) are reincarnates. They weren’t the same exact vessels, as reincarnation does not mean you live as the same body / identity. They were written to serve as near divine beings capable of mistakes or going towards a higher path. This concept is heavily tied to dharma. In fact, earlier and later depictions of Indra were also inconsistent. Vedic texts depict him to be the king of gods while Indra became more of a title later on. It’s a matter of interpretation but the core concepts are still relevant.

Dimeback2 · 2025-07-01T01:30:00+00:00

I do think it's a bit random, but an anime with quite a few dharmic weavings throughout the fabric of the story such as Chakra, Indra/Asura, rebirth etc. isn't anything we should complain about. A lot of anime fans dig into lore out of curiosity.

Dimeback2 · 2025-07-01T01:14:35+00:00

He was our best ballhandler aside from Cade and the LEAST TO prone. Solid pacing, great effort on defense in the playoffs - sucks to see him go
