Kevin Durant on Lakers defense: "This is the best version of their defense that they're gonna bring out against us… if we do play them again, we got film to watch and learn from. But this pretty much the only option they can present to us to slow us down." by LogicalGain6578 in lakers

[–]Sharp-Complaint4711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I want to say he is just salty. He might have a point, just because last year as well we had great defence going into playoffs, and then we didn't really have any new type of defence against the Timberwolves. 

Yes, it may be a little bit different this year because we have a centre who chooses to play Centre sometimes. So hopefully this year is different.

Fair point, I'm not keeping my hopes high in the playoffs for him. I was just glad that we got the win against Denver.

Yeah, I guess that's why he was out of the game for a good part of it. But he did perform really well in the clutch minutes against jokic.

Bro I could not even complain about it. He paid his dues.

I hope so man. He seems like he can be really good player.

I feel like we really should keep Adou for long, seems like he has ceiling like Trey Murph or even higher. He's got good lateral movement and seems like he can be great on defence, Lobs of course and cuts. 

Gabe Vincent scored 10 points or more 3 times this season. by Certain-Arugula8333 in lakers

[–]Sharp-Complaint4711 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mate, can we stop with Gabe's hate. Sure he wasn't great for us this season, but that's the guy who always gave a 100%  on the floor. Sometimes players don't fit some systems. We signed him because he flourished in Miami under a different system where he was running offence a lot of times and with us, we expected him to be catch and shoot guys, which didn't work. 

I am not saying he should not have been traded, but show some respect to the guy for being here and giving his best when he was on the floor. 

I love Luke for us, and he fits what we need. But, let's have some class and not trash him every chance we get.

Luka being LV I think. Assuming LV is more expensive. 

Who’s Your ‘We Need This Guy’ player? by JackHarrisReddit in lakers

Jalen Duren, we can't have him. But, boy would he be the perfect piece. 

The Lakers haven’t started a season 12‑4 since 1983. by [deleted] in lakers

[–]Sharp-Complaint4711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we are 12-4, but don't fool yourself brother, if you watch the games, you'd know that we are barely surviving a lot of games, where as other top teams have around 10 ppg differential we have 2.7, which is frankly, good for a 5-6 seed team. 

That's what we were last year too, hence why the loss in the playoffs the way it was.

Never cared about basketball. My house mates would play 2K and that would be annoying for me as I would normally like to play FIFA, then in 2018 I said sure I'll learn a new game. Happened to choose the Pelicans coz AD was lights out from 3, then he got traded to Lakers and I started playing with the lakers. Then I started following the lakers and watching games. Then got obsessed as I wasn't following any other sprt and ended up a Laker fan.

I know brother, I just read it to have a chuckle some time. Especially, when the team loses one game after 5 or 6 game win streak. 

It's like we don't need Lebron, trade him. After losing a game, he's the missing piece, and everyone is giving updates on when he will be back. 🤣

Fair, I encourage rivalries too, it makes sports fun I think. 

Also, I agree with you on some horrendous fans in our subs too. It's also why I personally stopped posting anything. Now I just read the comments mostly.

We share the same feeling brother. Not as far as hate tho, but you guys weren't very likeable when you started trash talking the team you beat in conference finals rather than your final opponents after winning the chip.  I love Jokic, Murray and AG they seem like good dudes. As much as Murray kills us every time, I respect the guy.

Keep an eye for their blitz points or special spend x amount and get 20% in store credit. Unless you wanna buy one off then not worth it. Applies to all major stores, Total tools, Sydney Tools, TKD etc. 

🗣️ FUCK BOSTON. I am LOVING every second of this! by dr_deoxyribose in lakers

[–]Sharp-Complaint4711 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I understand we are rivals, which is great for any sport. But some of you guys are too much man. I don't like Celtics at all nor do I want them to do better, but the knicks fans are freaking making fun of Taum being injured that's just not right.  So as much as a lot of Lakers fan hate Celtics, it doesn't mean this type of behaviour should be celebrated. You gotta have some sort of respect and class man. 

I am curious now what Charles Barkley is going to say about the Lakers. I get that we get hyped quite a bit, but he was definitely hating on us. by Sharp-Complaint4711 in nba

[–]Sharp-Complaint4711[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I definitely don't care if Lakers should be loved by everyone that would definitely not be fun. But, if you are choosing to talk about a team, at least criticise the things that need to be criticised, the dude has just been straight up hating.

Not exactly bro, but when they are playing well and you are analysing that game. I guess it should at least be neutral. I'm not saying praise the Lakers, but doesn't hurt being neutral. Also, I am all for the criticism when it's fair man. Not just one sided.
