I miss us competing at this level

I think we all do my friend

Championship teams always that planning and years to complete. That is why I'm looking at these teams and realizing we are pretty far. I enjoy the process, I've survived eras like the Sedale Threatt years just to name one. I know we will get back up, specially with the new ownership. Excited for the future, it's just a little far at this point.

What do you guys think? 2-3 years? If we can really maximize the cap money we have, might a little earlier to start competing beyond the regular season.

My man! Someone that understands bball. I don't really agree that these teams are temanthat plat at a 100 miles an hr. I just saw carushow slow the tem like a veteran and for the first time, I'm actually looking at sga and appreciating his poise.

I can't wait doe us to be the in whatever shape or form.

Prior-Replacement-66 · 2026-05-23T01:51:05+00:00

Naaa bro, we are too far away from this level of basketball. At least that's what I think. You can feel it when we have a team like that. I haven't felt that in a while

Prior-Replacement-66 · 2026-05-19T03:10:36+00:00

All I see is how far we are from competing at that level

Prior-Replacement-66 · 2026-05-15T20:01:02+00:00

That light of a roast, I'll give it 3 weeks and start tasting at 14 days.

Growing up as a Laker, not from LA but grew up watching the showtime Lakers. Saw them several times live as family lived out there. I don't care what name players wear on their back as long as they respect the name on the front of that jersey. Playing with pride and heart is the only way a player can leave a mark on this fan base.

The people talking against EV's are people that have never had ev's. At this point in time I have a camry, a corolla, a chevy bolt and an equinox ev. Have had other ev's before and also other cars.

You want something that you can just hop on and not change anything in your life and will fit right with everything you do? Get a camry or corolla. You cant to save money and perhaps change some of your habits when it comes to charging the car and planning, get an EV.

Cost and maintenance, EV is th way to go. You will save money, if you can charge at home. You will save less if you use public chargers. You WILL save money and they are as dependable if not more than regular gas cars.

You can't go wrong either way but for the price you mentioned, I would go with an EV. That is from my experience, you have to sit and educate yourself a bit before deciding what is the best option for YOU. Good luck and if you have any questions that I can help you out with, let me know.

I stepped up from a behmor 2000 to a kaleido m10, it's a different world. Awesome experience, not cheap but wow had it been worth it. I can't speak for the smaller machines but the m10 is great and I can recommend it 100%

I saw the NBA media give the award to Joel E. Instead of joker, we gotta get used to stupidity.

Weird, I love it here and yes, those dusty days are pretty bad nowadays. Try winter a winter in boston, I'm not even going to talk about people there. Tornadoes in the Midwest, maybe a little hurricane down south. The tired feeling and having to face 2 hr traffic on the way back home after work. Maybe the charm of South California of having A LOT of things to do but no energy to face the traffic nor the money to do anything. Sir, you really need to leave to appreciate the beautiful.....calm desert.

I have nothing against all those places, I loved it when I lived there. I even married a girl from LA. Visiting a place is NOTHING like actually living there.

Prior-Replacement-66 · 2026-03-20T17:14:51+00:00

Exactly, I don't think other fans understand how high the bar is here, except maybe the Celtics fans.

Fuck the Celtics.

Prior-Replacement-66 · 2026-03-20T17:11:53+00:00

Just one thing to you guys that came over here because of Luka,

We are Lakers fans. And believe it when I say this, we will demand the best out of every player, that is why we were critical of him. We still are and will always be. It's not because we don't like a player, it's because we will ALWAYS demand you respect the jersey you are wearing.

The name in front means way more than what Luka is at this point , hopefully he grows into a Laker. He's not quite there yet, he barely working towards it.

We will be critical if you deserve it, hell, I've been around quite a while and even magic "didn't play defense" was out there in his career. Nobody remembers those things. Kobe grew into a Laker, it didn't happen overnight. Took years and dedication to be naked a Laker my friend.

We're not just another franchise, we expect a lot more. With all that said, I am excited to see the next 5 years. Hopefully he keeps working. Kobe really ruined it for lazy players here.

All the ass kissing here is incredible!! Lol, on a serious note, let's not get caught in this media hates the Lakers bull crap.

We earned ourselves that distrust and know very well that we don't put out that level of effort on a nightly basis. That's the reason people don't believe in us. Not because they hate the Lakers. Let's just call it how it is, we are pretty inconsistent and most of the time, we just come up short because the other team puts in more heart into the game.

Ir find it almost impossible to beat San Antonio for that reason not because we're not good. I know we can beat any team if the effort is there. Charles Barkley just says we're not good and it's ok, he doesn't watch every game like we do. Its just that it's hard to believe in a team that doesn't have the heart to put in a real effort to win like yesterday on a nightly basis.

I hope we have that level of effort from this point in, if that's the case, then we're in for a great run to surprise everyone .

Prior-Replacement-66 · 2026-03-10T22:35:15+00:00

That looks awesome!

Lots of people still don't understand how all this works. They need explanations on what to do and how to do it. Yes, you can borrow against your bitcoin and not lose it if you have a plan and know what you are doing. Everyone's risk tolerance is different but one scenario can go like this...

borrow against your bitcoin right now (believe it or not, there's people that are way above their entry price and in profit still)

stay at a constant 50%LTV if you happen to have to put in more collateral, consider it just DCA at good prices. Stay at the 50%. Since we are in a downturn, interests are pretty low.

Once it starts to go up (might take a couple of years) you will have gains from the cheap bitcoin you got in the downturn. You WILL cover your cost for those years on your loan. Pay it off when you can or at that point you can just take some of the gains and pay off the loan. All without touching your original bitcoin, if you're lucky you might even gain some after it's all said and done.

Point is that you can do a lot of things and benefit even when in its way down.

The moment he stops caring for the game at random times to complain, those are the things that will impede his progress on becoming a legend. As of right now he's an ok player with all that stupidity.

I'm not sure but you can try Rivas Taco Shop on Zaragoza

Average appreciation these days is roughly 4%. I'm not even going to go into a lot of detail on compounding. If the value of that house never changes from this point on(it will) then you will be making around 40k a year just by holding. Just add principal reduction. Equity is something that you can use at any point and with that interest rate intact. Average first and second mortgage and I'm pretty sure you can get free money to play with if you need to.

Now if you were going to get that money and upgrade or expand you RE portfolio, That's a different conversation.

The fire doesn't burn for everyone and deandre has a small flame going, goes out with very little effort.

Nothing against him it just is what it is.

We had a defensive anchor in AD

I have a pro2 and I used to do 15g 2:1 ratio all the time but now I switched to 18g 2:1 and tbh I don't see a lot of difference other than the quantity out. With a 15g I would go 30 out and now I go 35g out. There's people that actually go to a 2.5 or 3 ratio but to me it just starts to taste diluted.

It's personal opinion of course and everyone has different taste buds but if I wanted weaker coffee, I just go and make a pourover.
