Los Angeles Lakers 2018-2019 Season Thread

Sniper=Trevor Ariza and Mykhailiuk with more experience.

I agree. We have to get rid of Clanker KCP.

 

[tomodach10]

Glade the Lakers did not give up a young player for Ariza. Oh well stuck with Captain Clank.

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like the Ariza deal is done this year. Dumbass Phoenix Suns can't get their players straight. Ariza becomes a FA this summer and it may be ignited when he is added as a FA if he is added as a FA.

 

[Retroram52]

Ariza goes to the Wiz. Oh well.

Trevor Ariza trade grades: Wizards add some veteran experience; Suns add more young talent to their roster

The Suns blew it with this trade. They needed a point guard and added wing players instead.

 

[Retroram52]

We are in Charlotte and are up by 8 or so early in the second. Tony Parker in a Hornets uni looks weird.

 

[Retroram52]

James still missing FTs. I liked this play: Lonzo Ball swats Williams at the rim and fires the outlet to KCP for the slam!

 

[Retroram52]

JaVale McGee with 13 points in less than 10 minutes. He's owning the paint for the Lakers so far. McGee/Chandler duo has really contributed to some nice changes with the Lakers.

 

[Retroram52]

Good to see Mykhailiuk getting consistent playing time with some of the starters. He is going to be a very good, consistent, long-distant shooter in the days ahead.

 

[Retroram52]

Chandler with the block, another good defensive play by the big man.

 

[Retroram52]

Malik putting Kuzma on skates. He's playing well.

 

[Retroram52]

Another block by Chandler. Man this is getting good.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers turning defense into offense even the lead is only six.

 

[Retroram52]

Chandler missing dunks is really embarrassing.

 

[Retroram52]

WE have not scored in the last three minutes and Charlotte has closed the gap to three.

 

[Retroram52]

James finally makes two consecutive free throws to break the scoring drought.

 

[Retroram52]

KCP nails the three. I guess he is going to show Magic that the thought of trading was a mistake.

 

[Retroram52]

Just like the lead is back to 9.

 

[Retroram52]

LeBron with back-to-back feeds to KCP on the 3-point line. Now its halftime and we lead by 7. Should be a good second half as this is the first game of a back-to-backer.

 

[Retroram52]

Lonzo quietly did a nice job guarding Kemba Walker in the first half and basically slowing way down. Kemba was 2 for 10 from the field for 4 points with 2 assists.
