The Los Angeles Lakers 2022-2023 Season Thread

[Retroram52]

Gabriel in for Jones. Looks like FT shooting has improved over last year.

 

[Retroram52]

FT shooting is way better than last year. Juan T-A missed a three-pointer but the Lakers get the rebound. That is different.

 

[Retroram52]

Gabriel can't hit a FT to save his life but P. Bev is there for the rebound.

 

[Retroram52]

P.Bev missed a lay-up. That's not good. That is very Westbrook-esque!

 

[Retroram52]

We go in at the half up 46-41. can't tell if the D is better or not. Need some more games for comparison.

 

[Retroram52]

Well what has not changed from last year is the Lakers coming-out after the half are sleep-walking. Just like last year.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers have not scored since they came-out of the locker room and Malik Monk makes them pay with a three and the Queens are up 49-46.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice three from Cole Swider. Dude is a keeper and so is Christie who assisted. Two young talents the Lakers need to keep.

 

[Retroram52]

Christie dunks it home!!

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers up 51-49 on the youngsters' hustle and shooting.

 

[Retroram52]

Nunn does indeed look pretty good.

 

[Retroram52]

Christie is a damn good young player.

 

[Retroram52]

Malik Monk hasn't changed when it comes to the FT line. Still missing FTs.

 

[Retroram52]

Typical Lakers in the Third Quarter. they have only scored 7 points to the Queens 20. Queens now lead it by 8.

 

[Retroram52]

And now the lead is 10: 53-63.

 

[Retroram52]

Ham is going to have to address this Third Quarter nonsense. WE still do not know how to come out in the Third Quarter with any sort of aggressiveness.

 

[Retroram52]

Now everyone is missing shots.

 

[Retroram52]

The lead is now 13.

 

[Retroram52]

Now Cole Swider is stinking it up.

 

[Retroram52]

The lead balloons to 14 and there is really no Lakers defense to speak of at this point in the Third Quarter.
