The Los Angeles Lakers 2022-2023 Season Thread

[Retroram52]

Reaves adds two FTs and we salvage a disasterous shit-show of a Third Quarter. The lead is cut to 5.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers come all the way back and take a 4-point lead in the Fourth Quarter.

 

[Retroram52]

Reaves gets the dunk and the lead is 6.

 

[Retroram52]

Russell with the three and the lead is now 9!

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like the Lakers are doing to the Raptors in the Fourth Quarter what the Raptors did to the Lakers in the Third.

 

[Retroram52]

With 6:33 left, the Lakers need to play good D the rest of the way and keep their O going.

 

[Retroram52]

Schrooder with the three and Russell with a long two and the lead is 10.

 

[Retroram52]

Raptors have cut the lead to six.

 

[Retroram52]

Russell with another THREE!!

 

[Retroram52]

Another three by Russell!!

 

[Retroram52]

The lead is 10 under 2 minutes.

 

[Retroram52]

Russell has 28 points among Lakers shooters.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers return the favor of the first game against the Raptors in Toronto and win by 10 points. We go one game away from .500 with the win.

Man, turned this game on at a tough time, early in the third. Raptors really sold out on AD, leaving the Lakers depth to chip away and take the lead back. Russell was unconscious in the 4th, ice water lol. Reaves just making the right play at the right time, and Schroder really scrambling. Dennis kept committing turnovers, then stealing the ball back lol. Rui and Vando putting in strong performances too. Rollercoaster, now 1 game behind the Clips for 6th.

AD with an off game and we still win .

DLo and Schroder balled out.

 

[DJ]

1 game out of the 6 seed with 15 games to go.

D-Lo:

"Man if we get one training camp under our belt with this group, the sky’s the limit. With that being said, we don’t have a training camp under our belt, and the sky’s still the limit. Our guys are ready, our guys are hungry, and as an organization — *gets interrupted by Austin Reaves grabbing and shaking him in celebration* — these fans are going to get us through a lot of it with their energy. So we’re just ready to compete and ready to return the favor for the organization.”

In the NBA forum fightinfunbags said it is very possible we make it to the NBA Finals because the WC is wide open and you know what? He could be right. A healthy Lakers team is built for the postseason.

8-3 since the trade deadline and 4-2 without Bron.

Feeling reflective today.


At the 7.5 minute mark he says he told Kobe he cannot sign with the Clipps......and West was with Memphis at the time. West putting in work for the Lakers and not even employed by the Lakers at the time. Makes total sense Kobe stayed because West told him he cannot sign with that other team in Los Angeles.

Soap in the mouth isn't good.
