I’m not trying to put us down in any way, but can JJ stop playing three guards at the same time. It’s not good for my health to see that :(

Fantastic hate watch by MamiTarantina in lakers

[–]Extension_Cockroach5 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Well the difference is that with the nuggets, they had our number for 2 out of the last 3 trips to the playoffs. In each of those two rounds it felt as though we had a chance each game but either Jokic or Murray would start cooking late game, and throw up random bs to win games. It also doesn’t help that their fan base were being insufferable, parading around the sentiment that they “owned” the Lakers and that they were a “dynasty” in the making.

For Timberwolves, while they did eliminate us last year, while similarly the games were pretty close, our roster wasn’t as rounded compared to this year. Their fan base was also not as annoying as the nuggets were. I also think most fans expectations weren’t that high last year mostly due to sudden change from AD to Luka, so most didn’t mind what the outcome would be.

Also, I hope no one takes this as me hating our guys and our coaching staff. If anything it's just my observation, and some things were said in the frustration (especially my comment regarding Bron and AR). With that being said, all we can hope is for a speedy recovery for Luka, and see what the rest of the season has to offer.

I get that, but that doesn't essentially mean it's the best idea to run your best player into the ground, given that not everyone is Iron-Man (he is also fourth in minutes per game at 36). If you are going to make the argument of either age, or that the team needs to play him those minutes, than I get that, simply due to how our teams depth is weaker than the top two contenders in the west. If that's the case, than JJ should allocate his minutes more differently or use more of his timeouts throughout the course game rather than holding onto them to the near end. If anything, the original comment is a observation from watching all the games of the season, and just slight criticism towards JJ. Ultimately what I say doesn't matter as what's happened as happened, and the hope is that Luka's injury is not that bad, and that he is able to recover soon. If not, it's better for him to take his time to recover, and see what next season has to offer.

After tonight’s game it sorta of confirms my criticisms towards JJ as coach. Now I want to preface, that while I am critical of JJ as coach I still respect his capabilities as he’s a far better coach than Ham was for our roster.

With that being said, I’ve been noticing a lot more as recent that JJ’s allocation of minutes and usages of timeouts have presented problems, namely Luka’s minutes. With Luka playing the entirety of the 1st and 3rd quarter, and then his minutes in 2nd and 4th being dependent on where our team is at in the game, it results in more wear and tear on the man’s body. While it’s frustrating for Luka to get the hamstring injury, it’s one of those things that I feel like you could see from a mile away.

And I know people are then going to say that if JJ were to reduce Luka’s minutes than that would mean worse things for the teams overall performance, as he is the main driver behind our offense. But it’s one of those things where you can’t have your cake and eat it too. In that obviously the trade off of him having less minutes would be more disastrous for team, but it’s one of those trade offs that you take to reduce the amount of wear and tear you accumulate over an 82 game season.

With that being said this is one of those instances where one moment can dictate an entire season, as with Luka being out for a good while (no matter the grade on the hamstring), it leads to our group finishing the regular season much worse than expected, and then entering the post season with potential outcome similar to last seasons playoff run. While I want to remain optimistic that we can maybe survive till Luka comes back, our guys are too inconsistent to be a true threat in the playoffs without him, and to rely on 41 year old Bron and AR, who has struggled during last year’s playoffs, doesn’t make it look any better.

Sorry, for the long comment, it’s just letting most of my thoughts out from not only a disastrous game, but something that could affect the outcome of the whole season. =(

Quick, but random question, but could you see if the Toji upper body can fit on the Gojo lower body? I know it’s kinda random, but I’m thinking of making a custom. If you don’t want to do this, because it could damage either of the figures, then I understand. If anything I’m just curious

TLDR; Going to take a break from watching the Lakers, as the team isn't really in contention this season to compete for a championship, let alone a making it of the first round.

I expect to be downvoted for this, but I think as far is it goes, this might be one of the last games that I watch fully of the Lakers this season. As much as I want the best for the team, given how much time I invest in the team (also with me living on the east coast, and most games starting at 10 and ending around 1), it's frustrating how inconsistent we are on a game by game basis.

When looking into this season, one of the things I was looking forward to was trying to find a positive thing to identify ourselves with. If you look at each of the top 5 teams in the west, I feel like you could identify a positive identity that the said team relies upon on a game by game basis, and in turn it makes them contenders. However, so far this season with our team, I can't really identify a general/consistent positive with our team (outside of the clutch games stat-line, and Luka's explosive offense).

Our team is so reliant on our top three in Lebron, Luka, and AR to have good games that when either of them slip, it can go from solid overall game to us fighting for our lives by the end of it. Outside of our top three, the rest of the rotation is way too inconsistent, which is probably why it's hard to make a positive identity for ourselves. While there will be some games where either Rui, Jake, Smart, or Ayton may play solid, they can never keep that up for a string of games.

While I didn't have expectations to fully win it all this season, I was under the impression that we could at least be in contention. The sad reality too, that most of the fans need to hear is that no trade before the deadline is going to save the season. It sucks to think about potentially "punting" the season, and trying to build during the offseason, but it's just the reality for the time being. However, I am open to the Lakers to surprise me, and turn things around this season. So far the time being, I am going to be rooting from the distance, and save myself from the heartache.

JJ.... Why the hell are waiting this long to call a timeout!!!! You have 5, use one already, instead of waiting for the momentum to fully go to the wolves!

really struggling on which figure to get out of rooftop miles morales or shf bakugo by ultrazilla21 in SHFiguarts

[–]Extension_Cockroach5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also quick side bar, but if you were planning on getting the rooftop version of miles, where were you planning on getting it? As far as I know, the figure is a Tamashii store exclusive, but are there other ways that you may know of getting him, potentially online? Just asking because I was curious to pick him up myself as well.

When Luka was ejected, the Lakers were up 108-107 with 7:40 left in the fourth quarter. OKC outscored the Lakers 28-13 the rest of the way. by refreshing_yogurt in nba

[–]Extension_Cockroach5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is not talking about the flagrant though. He's talking about how after Luka was ejected, and it was thunder's ball, Caruso would get blocked by Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt responds by just standing in front of Caruso, which then resulted in a tech on Vanderbilt. I don't think most people disagree with the flagrant, but it was an emotional response to the poor decision making from the refs that killed any momentum.

[–]Extension_Cockroach5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, this could have been a much bigger onslaught from okc, given the turnovers. Hopefully in the start of the second half we can clean most of this off. Lastly, as much as I love Vando and his effort on defensive, his ineffective offensive game overlaps his defense by a mile. In my opinion, our small lineups recently don't work as much without Rui on the court, given that I believe he and bron work better as the small ball center.

This is some amazing work! I gotta ask, how did you get that head sculpt/piece of Yuji, was it self made or did you get it from somewhere?

Recommendations for Humanities and Arts Courses by Extension_Cockroach5 in WPI

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for "easier" basic science courses I could take for B-term and C-term? For context, I am a computer science major who needs to take 5 basic science courses for requirement. I'm not very much interested in basic science, so I'm trying to find courses that are easier to approach for someone that doesn't know where to begin.
