The Los Angeles Lakers 2022-2023 Season Thread

[Retroram52]

The Lakers got beat by 30 so they have some real problems. Yea I get that it is the Preseason but it is a general indicator of things that need work. Defense was a tad better but not excessively so. Shooting is still a problem and that Third Quarter production and play is just flat-out bad. We shall see how the Lakers respond to what was displayed yesterday.

Next game up is tomorrow against the Suns.

Maybe Pelinka is working behind the scenes to place the Lakers into a place to have a shot at Wembanyama? Maybe??
