The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

Looks like Old Man James killed it.

And young stud Reaves as well.

 

[DJ Fieri]

So Williams played (and was just okay) vs us but he sat out vs the Nuggets?

LOL.

Yea. Absolutely accurate in all of your posts, DJ. The Lakers struggled abit last night because they still haven't got the consistent commitment to Defense but I suspect that may come around once everyone adjusts and buys-in to playing with the present roster. The potential to be great is there.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ready for this game....staying up and watching it all since I am off on Sunday.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep. Ready for this test in Denver.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Bron with the dunk and the Lakers lead, 4-0.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Thin air means home court for the Nuggets....the Lakers don't need to run and gun with these guys....

This is where AD will be missed in the playoffs if they draw Denver early IMO. Joker will just go to town in a best of 7 with no AD to contain and offset him. You can't give Joker carte blanche down low. Lakers will have to avoid a team like Denver early and then hope they get eliminated. Denver will now get ALOT of inside buckets

The wife made some chicken.....no sides since she on keto.

Chopped it up, put it in tortillas, added cheese and hot sauce....ate them. Had 3 soft tacos.

You think Lakers will hold this lead with their defense and no BIG stopper? Stop. I wouldn't trust the Lakers with a 20 point lead in the 4th with their defense and now no BIG

That's why we watch the games....

You never know.

Ok.. I've seen enough to know they shouldn't have let AD go for Doncic. But whatever. They should have just brought on in perimeter defenders and a C backup for AD. Thats all they needed to do for the next 2 season.. The defense was the problem and they didn't improve it.

Luka looking like Luka tonight.

You're one of the few that didn't like the deal then. Most think the Lakers raped the Mavs in the deal.

They got their future face of the franchise...LOL.

Lakers starting the Second Quarter with a 7-point lead.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers now up by 9. Western Knecht is in with the Starters tonight.

10-15 years in and Westbrook hasn't hired a damn shooting coach.. But he can afford those ludicrous outfits. figure that one out
