The Los Angeles Lakers 2022-2023 Season Thread

[DJ]

They need to string together 8-10 wins in a row to really make any headway.

Very possible with the 3rd easiest schedule to close out the season.

The deFacto GM and HC has spoken. James wants to make the playoffs this year. We shall see.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers now have the right blend of talent and a fairly easy remaining schedule. There is no excuse now to not make the playoffs even with injuries.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers up 16 on the W's in the Third quarter.

 

[Jermaine133]

the Warriors aren't winning shit this year. Their bench is trash, and Steve Kurr and co. have made it more difficult than it has to be with that load management bullshit. Hard to get any consistency when they win 2 games and then all the starters rest while the bench unit sinks the ship. Bron and co got some dawgs now in La.

Expected that win last night.

Beasley came through with a big game and we needed that with James having 1 of his poorest games of the season. Made 53% of our treys as a team.

Hopefully Russell's ankle injury is pretty minor.....

Lakers up 16 on the W's in the Third quarter.

Sweet win, we should beat GS the next time we play also.

Hillbilly Kobe was perfect last night.

 

[DJ]

Games like last night were good in fact James, AD and Beasley only logged 26 minutes each and the bench was utilized.

 

[DJ]

James and AD combined for 25 points......that's the fewest they have combined for in a win.

 

[Retroram52]

Beasley has really turned-out to be a really good three-point shooter and all-around shooter. Again, the new guys were all great pick-ups for what we gave-up and got rid of on the roster side of things.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers take on Dallas tomorrow in Dallas. Can they put together three-in-a-row and begin the ascent out of the self-made shithole? We shall see. Def winnable!

Dallas is trying to work things out with Luka and Irving.

 

[Retroram52]

Irving is a headcase and he is similar to Westbrook (who by the way picked-up for the Clipjoint where he left off from the Lakers, missing defensive assignments, had a high turnover rate again, and had people shaking their heads. Poor Mecca!). Everywhere Irving goes he creates problems. The Lakers do NOT want to bring this douchebag, nutcase into the locker room no matter how talented he is!!

 

[Retroram52]

Here is Lue (and others) already crying about turnovers and missed defensive assignments. No names were mentioned but it'll be just a matter of time before Lue gets frustrated with Westbrook and will want his ass to be gone calling him out openly. Good luck ya collective bunch of dumbasses!!

Elliott: 'It's crazy': Russell Westbrook's debut was part fit, part folly

Russell Westbrook tried to make the most of his debut Friday, but he and the Clippers had too many turnovers to beat Sacramento in high-scoring affair.

Ugly and slow start to this game.

 

[DJ]

5 of 20 and 0 of 8 on treys so far.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers getting their asses handed to them on a Sunday. They are marching slowly back but they are still down by double figures. All the talk... ...same shit!

 

[DJ]

Can't play much worse than that 1st half and down just 14 at halftime.

 

[DJ]

Down to 5.
