Hopefully the Lakers can have a good record against the non-elite or worse. If the Lakers can do that, they're still in a good position for the regular season.

The Lakers will need help to eventually break through against THOSE teams, but this is a regular season topic.

Frank Vogel's rotations are alive and well.

I think Vogel can coach this current Laker roster better than Ham.

Nurkic is a game changer for the Suns. Excellent roll man. Knows how to screen.

And yeah it's gonna take a while to get used to seeing Vogel on the sidelines. Feels like Monty has been there forever.

Meanwhile the Warriors are a paper moon without Draymond. Who TF is going to play or orchestrate the defense, other than Wiggins or Looney? This is exactly why the Cavs smoked them when Green got suspended in 2016.

Has he played a 2 PG lineup yet?

(Looks over at Ham who played a 2 PG lineup tonight) 👀

Warriors look OLD. I mean I don’t know what they were thinking running it back with Steph/Klay/CP3. Too old. Too washed

I think he can too. But I am having flashbacks to those long spurts where Lebron or AD would sit while our lead was squandered away.

Klay is so washed, I can’t imagine anyone giving him another big contract.

Other than playing at Denver or Milwaukee or something, I would think the Lakers will be favored in the vast majority of their games.

His terrible IQ has always been masked by his elite 3pt shooting. Now that he's more inconsistent than not, Warriors fans are turning on him. Even in his prime, he was ass in the finals games.

U cant win championships without the Josh Okagies or Bruce Browns. Every million they earn is doubled in the playoffs or finals.

KD is effective mostly as a shooter now. His off the dribble game has noticeably diminished. Curry looks to be slowing down a bit as well…getting old sucks

Redditors doing redditor things. Color me shocked. It's a nothingburger but he could run into legal issues if he's not careful. People know what scouting reports look like by now.

Bos vs NY is one of the worst officiated games I’ve witnessed.

Can you believe that our Matt Ryan is lighting it up tonight for the Pelicans ? Also, Zion Williamson just made 2 Highlight dunks.

Schroder had 22 and 7 in a Raptors win. I do wonder how much we will miss him. I know the next game he may have 8 and 3, but you always know he is competing every night. He did want to come back. The Lakers chose Gabe.

I thought Shro chose a starting job in Toronto vs back up role for the Lakers? Did we really have info that he wanted to come back? Or R U trolling us? 😂

I think we will miss him and Lonnie Walker. Those guys stepped up when we were down and I just don’t see that in the players we picked up on both sides of the court.
