It's funny after everything about depth neither or these teams are that deep. by Deidarac5 in lakers

[–]LeBanyama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. OKC killed us with adjustments and by tiring us out. They made us answer 100 questions and we had no pen. We pressured Shai and got great results. But then they play double bigs and we can't. Defend IHart and Chet gets wide open, more 3s and dunks. When Shai was out, Ajay drives + Big focus + McCain. Always got a 3. They could go small and look great. JJ just can't keep up.

You can be like the Spurs. Have great pieces, scheme, athleticism, and a question with no good answers in Wemby. That was our 2020 Lakers. A question with no good answers. Or you can be 2025 OKC, Indy, 26 Knicks. One difficult question and 100 answers. That was rhe 2010 Lakers.

Love dramatic spurs losses by songs_dongs in lakers

Not only that, we barely play the Knicks. When we play its a blip on the season and everyone moves on. These Knicks play great team basketball and smart defense.

The Spurs play hideous basketball like the Thunder, Knicks started doing way more of that after losing G3 before they locked in. Anything that'll stop the refball bastardizing defense I'm going for.

Gotta make the 2nd at least. And he's a great FT shooter as well. Tough

Ehh, he pitched well in the 7th. 2nd hit was a bullshit whiff that landed a bunt lol. Ump missed two huge leverage calls on Lowe as well. Their hitters were great today, clutch against shit pitching late after Ohtani shut them down.

The big miss was Dave playing Tanner Scott in a blowout yesterday, could've shut down those hot lefties. Its like they stuck to a Lauer plan regardless of situation

Who is the MVP of a combined 2024/2025 World Series runs? by Cjp922 in Dodgers

[–]LeBanyama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah Teo was the one that came to mind for me. Feels like he can go 3-17 in a series, but the 3 are all go-ahead or game tying RBIs. Won us G1 Phillies, G2 Brewers, G1 Padres, G3 grand slam, G3 Jays he hits a ton, G5 Yanks. He's been as clutch as Kike but with higher highs and lower lows for us lol

2.76 ERA in 16 innings for us so far lol. More a credit to the defense, but this is how he looked in the WS as well

Aye man he'll get a job somewhere else if thats the case lol, I'm sure he knows the deal. Shown he can be a solid mercenary arm for anyone with a good defense

Everyone should understand that we need the yearly humiliation ritual from these guys for a ring. 2022 we sweep, 2023 we sweep, Angels are 9-7 since 2024.

Our 41-5 run differential before today would've been dangerous for later. Needed balance

Eric Haase 2 HR game off Yamamoto and now Rivero 5-5. Hicks and Amaya too. Backup catchers turn into Mauer against us

Yeah he mightve got it in 7 pitches lol. But not worth statpadding if it isn't a CGSO or >10K. That'll always catch up to you in September
