The Los Angeles Lakers 2022-2023 Season Thread

[Retroram52]

D. Bacon has got 10 points. Beautimous.

 

[Retroram52]

Pippen Jr makes both FTs and it's a 1-point game. 114-115.

 

[Retroram52]

Huff commits the foul and now it is a 3-point game, 114-117.

 

[Retroram52]

Swider is in for the potential game-tying 3-pointer.

 

[Retroram52]

D. Bacon makes one of two FTs. Two-point game.

 

[Retroram52]

Game over and the Lakers lose by 4, 115-119. We have some improvement though: FG% was 43%, 3-point% was 32%; deficits, too many TOs at 16 and we got out-rebounded 48-56. More to work on as we have 4 more Preseason games to go.

 

[Retroram52]

Missed the ass whippin by the T-Wolves? Seriously?

Maybe the Lakers should start thinking about moving AD out the door. He is hurt again. Removed from the Preseason game on Wednesday due to back tightness. AD has turned 30 and there is no way he is going to have the health longevity of say James or even a guy like Carmelo Anthony.

Don't know why the Lakers cut Bacon and McCoy but they did and they picked-up Harrison and Figueroa.
