Lakers do or die tonight LFG!!!!!!!

[LNS]

I like AD FWIW.. always thought he was like an updated version of KG, except he just could never really stay healthy.

Wonder if the lefaggot fans in here have smartened up to realize the goat talk about leflop can stop now. Jordan doesnt go for zero in multiple 4th quarter games and gwt spanked by a lower seed 4-1. This is just making the case even easier in favor of MJ, lol

Did MJ even make the POs in his 40s, shed cuck?

Did Jordan play alongside a Top 3 player in the game (and another AS caliber player, stat-wise) when he was 40, meathead?

No, he didn't.

Why would the alleged GOAT need a "top 3 player in the game (and another AS caliber player, state-wise)" just to make the Playoffs - especially in the dogshit East?

[thedangerouskitchen]

AD is absolutely not a championship centerpiece in any sense (and never was) lol

When was AD paired with second-fiddle (in New Orleans) sooooooooo supremely talented and skilled as LeFraud has been (allegedly, according to his fans) the past 7 years?

Exactly... never.

He had a solid cast around him in 2018 and he "swept a higher seed" in the first round, before losing to the juggernaut Warriors in the Semi's... and in 2019 (with another solid supporting cast) he missed half the damn season.

Otherwise the talent around him in New Orleans ranged from trash to sub-par. I mean, talk about tomato cans and d-leaguers... but-but-but that doesn't suit your narrative so we don't go there.



In other words you have zero clue (as usual) and just talk out of your keyster.

Run along...

DeMarcus Cousins
Jrue Holiday
Nikola Mirotic
Rajon Rondo

That's who AD had in 17-18. That's a FANTASTIC supporting cast rife with all-stars, All-NBAer's and ringzzzz.

Yes, I acknowledged 2018... you must have missed that part.

He swept the HIGHER seeded Blazers in the first-round that year, but lost to the Steph/Durant Warriors in the next round.

Surely you're not going to hold that against AD "after" you spent yearS defending your wet-dream LeFraud for losing to that same juggernaut two (2) straight years?

[thedangerouskitchen]

AD won 1 playoff series in 7 seasons in NO without Lebron.

Actually, that's kind of similar to Jordan winning 0 playoff series without Pippen.

AD = Jordan who couldn't leech off the best winning environment in NBA history.

Triggered AF leading to an extremely weak troll attempt.... ^^^^

Run along bush-league before I slap ya around some more.

[kobeunderbite]

Also is AD really this defensive difference maker that I've been told he is? Because watching him get his rear end absolutely brutalized in consecutive seasons by Nikola Jokic would suggest otherwise.

Or is Jokic so incredibly deadly, legendary and untouchable that he can even absolutely punish a defensive stalwart like AD?

Which is it, TDK?

TDK didn't touch this lol

Um... because he inherited a team that won 19 games, not a team that just traded for a Top 3 player in the game.

If AD is as great as you're making him out to be, there is ZEROOOOOOO reason for him to be the lower seed in the First Round with that much talent around him. He shouldn't have seen the Dubs until the WCF's at worst.

He couldn't even win 50 games with that squad. And the "higher seeded" Blazers won 49 games versus NOP's 48 games.

Surely you agree, right?

[Bush4Ever.]

LeGOAT really fucked up the brains of Bulls fans

They weren't exactly starting with a full deck, either.

[PhutureDynasty]

Do you have any fear of the Knicks (assuming they beat the Pistons) in the next round?

I am guessing no. You seem destined for the clash against Cleveland in the ECF.

I will admit I feel like I'm in a weaker position with our bet about the Celtics making the Finals than I felt like when I made the bet originally.

But yeah, I don't fear the Knicks at all. The Celtics match up very, very well with them.

Cleveland will be the max test (of course).

Did I bet with you on Boston making the Finals or am I misreading your message?

I don't recall doing that but I could be wrong lol.

He didn't inherit anything at 40 years old, he was already on that team. In 2 seasons, the alleged GOAT was unable to even make the Playoffs in the dog piss East.

I guess it's pretty similar to his complete lack of success when he was younger, before Pippen showed him how to win.

Yes, Boston (me) vs. Eastern field (you) to making the Finals

It was a long time ago though, when I was trolling over their 2024 title.

Eh, didn't even see it until just now...

Anyway, the answer to your question is another question: Were you watching LeFraud / other Lakers' players playing Defense those 2 seasons, or just AD... because I'm sure if you go back and review you will see that Anthony Davis very often had to check TWO defenders, to make up for LeFraud's tree-stump Defense.

Go check out the series' then come on back and tell me otherwise...

And FTR, Joker IS a deadly, almost unguardable Offensive player IN THIS ERA, where the rules heavily favor the Offense.

So what?

The Bulls swept Shaq/Magic out of the ECF with Luc freakin' Longley as their C. Why? Because Jordan (as the leader) inspired the entire team to play Defense.

LeFraud, as the so-called leader of the Lakers, never had that ability because he doesn't go all-out on Defense himself (like MJ did), and as a result the team followed his lead... all except AD of course, who couldn't defend 2-3 guys consistently (including Joker) while also being counted on to drop 25 PPG every night.

Facts.

42 wins was all that was needed for the 8th seed in the East back then.. MJ led his team to a 37-45 record while putting up Paul George type numbers.

You're reeeeeeeaching, kiddo... again, with the first solid supporting cast that he had around him his entire career (up to that point) he swept a higher seed, and then lost to a juggeraut.

No shame in that.

End of story.

I guess it's pretty similar to his complete lack of success when he was younger, before Pippen showed him how to win.

He inherited a 19 win team when he returned (as a 38-39 year old) after a 4 year layoff AND had the Wizards as the 4th or 5th seed in the Conference when he went down with an injury.

40 year old Jordan (with a Top 3 player in the game AND another AS caliber player) would have waltzed to the Championship.

As usual, you have no point.

[LeBronMonsterDunk]

That higher seeded (by 1 win) Portland team that AD managed to beat, as his ONLY Playoff wins without LeGOAT?

[Shill Jackson]

We needed a big to deal with Jokic after we had AD out of position trying to guard him the last 2 postseasons, and now Gobert exposed the fuck out of our most glaring weakness. For all of the sexy moves we’ve made, how has this not been resolved in at least the past 3 seasons? Mark Williams, and that’s it?

Meanwhile Dwight is just sitting out there begging to be signed (literally begging). The Jokic stopper. It don't make no sense

Breaking up the 2020 team was a big mistake, they had the perfect combination of outcasts and misfits.

This is why I'm hesitant to call Pelinka a great GM. For every good move he's had, he makes 2 bad ones.

Yep to both
