Los Angeles Lakers 2018-2019 Season Thread

I expect to see Rondo hit at least 10 assists again tonight

No james or Lonzo tonight. Bummer.

No point in risking injury.

Let them both play Wednesday and sit out everyone aged 24 or over in the last preseason game

Gotta dvr this one. My son has taken over the tv for the McGregor fight.

He's getting it free somehow.

Lakers lose it by nearly 20. No worries. A look-see at other players apparently.

Yeah, they wanted to rest Lebron and are still taking things slow with Lonzo.

From what I read this morning, it looks like Lebron and Lonzo will be playing Wednesday vs. the Warriors. Lonzo is contingent on having no setbacks between now and Wednesday.

Berry II and Carroll cut from the team
No surprise there.

 

[Retroram52]

Three more players must go to reach 14.

Apparently, Lebron is a big Lonzo fan. Been calling him "Young King".

 

[Retroram52]

Should be a loose preseason game between the W's at 1-2 and the Lakers at 1-3.

Curry getting away with murder lol. Glade only preseason, but horribly officated game so far. We are going to need guys to hit outside open shots.

 

[tomodach10]

This team will be fun to watch. What a difference with a superstar on your team with young talent.

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like LeBron had a super game and showed everyone how to play competively to the end, sometimes single-handedly Kobe style.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

 

[trojanfan12]

Translation = It's the last pre-season game and we weren't going to be playing any of those guys anyway.

 

[Retroram52]

We won the game anyways and drew to .500 for the preseason. Season opener against Portland is just around the corner.

Looks like Magic had help in luring Lebron. Good article follows about Kobe's role and of course it contains a picture of Jeannie Buss. WOOF!!!

What I really like about that article is that it should shut the folks up who were saying that Kobe wouldn't want the Lakers to get Lebron because it would hurt his legacy.

 

[Retroram52]

That too TJF12. I suspect that over the next few years, people will come to see the genius and hard work of one Kobe Bryant including some of his major critics and they may come to the inescapable conclusion that much of the lies about Kobe were and are more about envy than any admiration about his true skills and business and basketball acumen.

 

[Retroram52]

Two more cut. We might see one or noth again before the season is over. Two to go. I suspect the next two might be Caruso and Wear.
