The Los Angeles Lakers 2022-2023 Season Thread

[ANGELAKERAMS]

Lakers lose it by 10. Played well but couldn't sustain and match-up with the Suns down the stretch.

And several guys were just ice cold and couldn’t hit anything.

AD with another monster game (37 points, 21 boards, 5 blocks and 5 steals) but a loss.

Lakers lose it by 10. Played well but couldn't sustain and match-up with the Suns down the stretch.

They made just 4 of 22 treys. Just 18%.

Make just a few more and they would have been right there in the game.

More evidence that Pelinka is just a douchebag GM. But it is open for debate as he whiffed on get a First Rounder for THT last summer from Toronto.

Lakers could’ve traded Talen Horton-Tucker for first-round draft pick

The Lakers could've used Talen Horton-Tucker to boost their trade capital last season.

Would've had to absorb two years of just under $7M per for Khem Birch, who somehow got a 3 year contract out of a dozen or so games in the bubble season.

First 30/20/5/5 game in NBA history

Only Walker and Russ made 3s, and they were each 2-6. Yechhh.

A shooter we could target in the offseason.....and that is all he does really.....is Hardaway Jr. He won't get what he is making now and could be a good fit as a gunner....

This guy is just so fragile. I think it is time to include him in forthcoming trades next summer when the Lakers finally go into full rebuild mode.

Anthony Davis had ‘loss of sensation’ in arm versus Suns on Tuesday

Lakers superstar big man Anthony Davis was a monster once again on Tuesday versus the Suns despite a bad left arm.

Nice win over the worse Spurs and a few more win streaks and the Lakers may be out of the bottom five. Then they don't have to rush a trade because Ham has a nice rotation going on with Westbrook separated to coming off the bench and playing sans AD and James most times during a game. Some of the other players like Reaves and Walker and a few others are beginning to be consistent scorers on game basis. I think everyone should leave the Lakers alone because I think they figure this out on their own with Ham running the show.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Another good win and tonight we play the Spurs again.

Need another win.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Really like Walker a lot.

He's our 3rd scorer in the starting lineup, making 36% of his treys and athletic on defense.

 

[Retroram52]

Doing well.

 

[Retroram52]

James now has 37 and Schroeder is at 21. Reaves has 14 and the Lakers lead 121 to 105. Win number 7 appears to be on the way.

 

[Retroram52]

An unusual Third Quarter for the Lakers where they had a 39-point quarter and looked in control.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers have gone stagnant and the Spurs have cut the lead to 8. Better get going or they are going to lose this done the stretch.

 

[Retroram52]

It appears the Lakers are not playing much D tonight.

 

[Retroram52]

AD is not playing tonight. Lakers need more points from Walker who has just 9.

 

[Retroram52]

Lead goes back to 12 with 5:10 left in the Fourth Quarter.

 

[Retroram52]

Walker hits a big three and now has 19 points. Lead is up to 15.

 

[Retroram52]

Westbrook missing FTs again.
