The Los Angeles Lakers 2022-2023 Season Thread

I don't know why the Lakers seem to always focus on the backcourt when their problems right now are in the frontcourt. They have a host of guards some of whom are useless. DJ's fav trade would make the most sense because they could get their problems in the frontcourt addressed by bringing in Turner and then they could get their guards-lust fulfilled with Hield. All they have to do is get on it before the trade deadline and give-up at least one of the coveted First Rounders but like I stated, I doubt much will get done at least in the near future.

Ham won't even use his front court options on hand. Bryant got 19 minutes and Jones 2 minutes vs the Mavs. More 5 backcourt player lineups, sigh.

The Lakers gave-up 51 points in one quarter. 19-51. Laughable!!

43 in the first half, 51 in the third.

 

[DJ Fieri]

We balling so far.....but no lead is safe with this team.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Bev has turned his offensive game around the last 9 or so games.....still below his career numbers though.

 

[DJ Fieri]

And a 16 point lead shrinks to 9.

 

[DJ Fieri]

And its down to a 5 point lead and Ham takes a full timeout.

 

[DJ Fieri]

A win is a win.

 

[Retroram52]

A rare win for the Lakers. Yippee!

 

[shopson67]

Upcoming schedule is repetitive, lol. @Heat, @Hawks, @Hornets, Heat, Hawks

Holy alliteration, Batman...

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers still buried in the hole in the Western Conference.

 

[The Q]

He has turned into a fucking sniper....him and Reaves.

And they will take a solid 15m to keep both next year

And they will take a solid 15m to keep both next year

That's cool. I am talking about this year though.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Rob needs to pull the trigger on a trade.

 

[DJ Fieri]

James scored 47 points on his 38th birthday and they beat the Hawks.

Wow.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice game by James, I suppose.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Nice game by James, I suppose.

Nice? Great game on his 38th bday.

Most importantly....we won.

 

[DJ Fieri]

James has 15 points and the Lakers are up 15 with 3 minutes left in the first half.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Bryant has 8 and Reaves with 10 off the bench.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Up 15 at halftime.

James has 19, 7 boards and 3 dimes.

Reaves has 13 and 4 dimes.

Bryant 10 points and 7 boards.

Gotta say, Thomas has been a really nice surprise this season

When AD comes back, they need to move him back to the 4 and play both of them at the same time.

It would be huge for the offense and would eliminate all the offensive rebounds other teams rack up against the Lakers.
