The opener is in Portland on Thursday the 18th. The Season is here!!

Retroram52 · Oct 14, 2018

We are going to have to learn to play D in a hurry or we will open the season with a L unless we can outscore Portland.

Retroram52 · Oct 18, 2018

I'll miss the opener as I have to work. I hope they do well and open the season with a win.

Walton needs to figure out how to juggle his rotations with the right combinations.

That is my beef with him. We have a 10 point lead in the first and he changes the lineup. It is getting old fast.

We are scoring more but little or no D. LeBron did his part but how long is he going to tolerate this sort of losing even though it is the first game of the season?

Lakers vs. Trail Blazers score, highlights: LeBron James has strong debut, but L.A.'s problems evident in loss

Actually, the Lakers were okay on perimeter defense. It was rim protection that suffered. If a guy got beat on the perimeter, it was pretty much a free run to the basket unless McGee was in. Even then, if he was away from the basket, it was difficult to get back in time.

Also, you have to take in to consideration pace of play when looking at the point totals.

In the NBA, defense is always behind the offense, even on teams that have been together for awhile. For a team with a lot of guys who haven't played together, it's even tougher. Once they get the communication and trust established, they should get better defensively.

When I first saw that, I thought...wtf?

But then I realized that it's about developing a culture of being there for each other. Great lesson for the kids.

I noticed that, after he said that, the young guys were all but sprinting to help each other up. Saw Ingram do it at least a couple of times.

Kuzma is like: "Oh really?"

Retroram52 · Oct 20, 2018

Home opener tonight against the Rockets. I think I might might venture a viewing time.

Rambunctious · Oct 20, 2018

Lakers or Dodgers, :noidea:

Retroram52 · Oct 20, 2018

Tough choice Rambunctious.

Retroram52 · Oct 20, 2018

MArk Jackson and Van Gundy are some of the commentators. Doris Burke as well. Should be interesting.

Retroram52 · Oct 20, 2018

I am not sure why we didn't bring back Trevor Ariza for defense purposes. He could have provided that needed ingredient to improve our D.

Watching Lebron in a Laker Uniform just continues to look.. .WEIRD
