The Los Angeles Lakers 2023-2024 NBA season

I know it was just Portland but that was a big win without Bron.

AD played really well as the #1, Reddish has been balling since he has been starting, Reaves starting to play well off the bench and Hach played well in place of Bron.

I'm not taking any value from last night's game other than they got the W, on to the next. Not only was it Portland, it was Portland without Brogdon, Scoot and Simons. Bouyea signed as a 2 way player earlier that day and that was Reath's debut as well (with Williams done for the year).

Lakers remain undefeated at home. They need to improve in away games. Back to .500 and they are beginning to make in-roads into the top six in the EC.

They played the Magic in each arena, winning at home, as well as the short-handed Suns (winning both). Their other home wins have been over Portland, a struggling Clips team, and the short-handed Suns. They've played good teams on the road (Nuggets, Kings, Heat, and a Rockets team that is heating up).

The real issues IMO are the slow starts and offensive rebounds (and second chance points) they continue to allow. 3 pt shooting will come, they're getting a lot of good looks.
