Lakers 2021-2022 season thread

[Retroram52]

Some very tasty blocks from Lebron tonight

He is playing pretty well even with the Covid long-term protocol!

 

[Retroram52]

The lead remains 22.

 

[Retroram52]

Deandre Jordon is playing some badass D tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice long-distance three by Melo and the lead goes to 25.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers win the Third Quarter big and onto the fourth we go.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Down by 3 at the half, up by 23 entering the fourth!!

I'll take it

 

[Retroram52]

Me too ShaqDaddy!

 

[Retroram52]

Nice shot by Deandre Jordon!

 

[Retroram52]

Monk, Jordon, Reaves, Anthony, and Westbrook are on the floor right now and they are doing a pretty decent job keeping the lead around 23.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers have fallen asleep on the defensive side of the court. Magic cut the lead to 18.

 

[Retroram52]

Magic picking away and the lead is down to 16.

 

[Retroram52]

Magic have whittled the lead down to 13 with 3 and change to go.

 

[Retroram52]

James is the game's high scoring Laker with 30.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers hold off a Magic surge in the Fourth and get the win with a 12-point margin. First two-in-a-row win in a long time. Onward we go to play Dallas on Wednesday.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Lakers are 7-4 in their last 11 games.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep DJ. 6th in the West and if they Take down Dallas on Wednesday they will continue to move-up. Maybe the present roster is getting "it". The Lakers are not fading as much in the second half and keeping their foot on the gas in the last 5-6 games. Since they beat OKC they have been playing better. Still can't beat the top tier teams yet but maybe when Nunn and Ariza return and they trade for Lamb in Indiana, they will take the next step.

 

[DJ Fieri]

 

[Retroram52]

He is not a good fit and I doubt James wants to play with him. But if we get Lamb from Indiana out of the deal and we can ship out Bazemore, that might be a pretty good deal to be interested in Simmons.

 

[DJ Fieri]

We need to win tonight vs the Mavs without Luka.

Can't lose this game.

 

[Retroram52]

I agree DJ. If we win, that will be the second three-game winning streak this season.
