The Los Angeles Lakers 2022-2023 Season Thread

[Retroram52]

This is like an All-Star game. 136-125 Lakers. Everybody on the floor is now in dub figures including Gabriel and Westbrook.

 

[Retroram52]

Spurs are nailing threes here in the late Fourth Quarter.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers hit the 140-point mark. Wow!

 

[Retroram52]

Way to go Westbrook. TO.

 

[Retroram52]

Wow. No D in the Fourth Quarter. The Lead is 143-135, Lakers.

 

[Retroram52]

Spurs make a three at the buzzer and the game is over. Lakers win, 143-138. Run and gun and No D. Win Number 7. Lakers are working themselves out of the bottom five in the West.

 

[Retroram52]

James had 39-points in his return. Lakers shot 58% in field goals and 51% from the threes-tripe which is encouraging. Lakers TOs were still too high at 17. Onward the Lakers go to face the Pacers Monday in LA.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Lakers win again and creep closer to .500.

James was in beast mode with 39 points and 11 rebounds (LOL at those that think the Lakers are better without him) and Schroder scored 21 and had 6 assists. Walker poured in 19 points and made 3 of 5 treys. Reaves had 16 off the bench and Gabriel had 15.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Nunn has made 16 of his last 31 FG's over his last 5 games, starting to figure it out.

 

[Retroram52]

I think they are all starting to figure-it-out, DJ. Looks like we may get to .500 soon with the schedule we have.

 

[Retroram52]

Pacers in-town tonight.

 

[DJ Fieri]

AD and RW played well last night but 'Bron was of 8 of 22 and 3 of 10.

His way of protesting the FO not getting him enough help? His shooting numbers have been way down this season.

 

[shopson67]

Russ really needs to go, and at least be out of the closing 5. His turnovers are killing the Lakers, 6 in each of the last two games that should've been comfortable wins. Welcome back Bev...

 

[DJ Fieri]

Another win.

AD and James balled out of course with Reaves being the #3 option with 22 points.

Bryant had 14 off the bench which was nice to see.

 

[shopson67]

Matt Ryan waived, opening up a roster spot.

 

[shopson67]

Welcome back Bev...

Watching Bev last night, I'm ready for him to go too. He's not really making a difference defensively, and at this point they might as well give his minutes to Christie, who played pretty hard last night.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

Matt Ryan waived, opening up a roster spot.

Shocking considering he was their best wing 3 point shooter and 3rd best 3 point shooter on the team.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Schroder is a scrappy and underrated veteran defender, he can give us what Bev can and is a better offensive player. Really no need for both them on the roster. Especially, with Reaves developing into a nice player.

Think they package Bev and Nunn plus a 2nd round pick for a shooter.....the guy they might trade for might have an extra year left on his deal while the 2 we are sending out are expiring. Maybe we can package those 2 for Hield? He's the player we really needed a few offseasons ago.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Matt Ryan waived, opening up a roster spot.

Think that means they have a trade in mind.

 

[DJ Fieri]

6-2 since starting 2-10 and 8-7 since starting 0-5.

Think tonight is a really good test to see where we are at right now. Giannis is healthy and the Bucks are a really good team.
