Los Angeles Lakers 2018-2019 Season Thread

[DJ Fieri]

Since James has been out.....

Ball is averaging 13ppg, 7apg, 6rpg, and 1.4spg while shooting 45% and 39% on 3's.

Surprisng win vs the Thunder.....let's see what we can do vs a depleted Rockets team tonight.

Yea, I agree DJ. May be these youngsters sans LeBron are getting it and they played a pretty decent all-around game with Kuzma going-off. I hope they waltz into Houston and get another win to get some separation from those wannabes over in Utah.

I think a lot of what we saw when Lebron and Rondo went down may have been the kids adjusting to not having them.

One thing that was mentioned after the game was that when the Lakers had Lebron, late in close games it was, get the ball to Lebron and let him do Lebron things.

When he went down, they didn't have that anymore. So, they had to adjust and start playing more like they did towards the end of last year.

Now watch them go out and shit themselves tonight and make me look bad.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ball to Kuzma for a 2-0 lead to start the game off.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Lakers lead, 17-12, halfway through the first quarter.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Lakers lead, 20-12.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ball hits a jumper and the Lakers lead, 22-12.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Kuzma scores 20 points in the 1st quarter and Ball with 7 assists as the Lakers lead, 39-26.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Svi gets to the rim with a layup.....the outside shooter switching it up.....

 

[DJ Fieri]

I have a funny feeling we might win this game tonight.....











Or that could be the chili cheese nachos I had for lunch.

 

[DJ Fieri]

LA leads, 44-29.

You breath on harden it is a foul. Ridulous!!!

 

[Retroram52]

I have the same feeling DJ. We are up by 13 and Zubac, fresh off his 26-point, 12-board night in OKC, checks in for the first time at the 7:42 mark of the 2nd quarter.

 

[DJ Fieri]

A win here and against OKC helps make up for the loss to Cavs at home and to the Nets....offsets those 2 games basically.

 

[DJ Fieri]

What happened to you 2 Jabronis? Late to the party but it's alright since I've been here holding it down. Stacey is visiting her brother......good too, we have needed some space lately.

You guys got another transfer and COULD POSSIBLY be looking at a 3rd straight QB to win the Heisman.

 

[Retroram52]

Now the lead has ballooned to 19 points. I like what I am seeing.

 

[Retroram52]

And what has gotten into Kuzma. Kyle Kuzma with an unreal, 20-point first quarter. Sizzling from deep with all kinds of 3s.

 

[Retroram52]

Some cool facts about Kuzma's big first quarter from the Lakers. He's the first Laker with 20 in the first since Kobe in 2011. Only six players have had multiple 20-point quarters this season: Stephen Curry, James Harden, Damian Lillard, Paul George, Kemba Walker and Kyle Kuzma
