Per McTen

Notes from Lakers practice:
- Darvin Ham on the preseason finale: "We’re going to come in and play a real, normal, competitive basketball game and see how we fit together in long stretches."
- Gabe Vincent participated after missing the last two games with back tightness.

And remember, the Lakers are for the kids...

That’s silly. Bron and AD don’t need minutes. Our first game is against nuggets on ring night. Those teams can lay eggs.

Ham said he will use his regular rotations for three quarters doesn't necessarily mean that LBJ & AD have to play the entire time.
I'm sure Rui, Wood, Gabe, Prince & Hayes will get extended minutes as they battle for playing time in the rotation.
LA needs to bring some intensity because PHX will probably be playing to win. This will be a good test run for the squad, so everyone had better be up to the task and ready to contribute accordingly.

      GO LAKERS!! ......... Extinguish the Suns!!

Lakers Head Back to Palm Springs

Quote:
In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, the Lakers often held training camp in Palm Springs, and on Thursday, they’ll be playing a preseason game against the Phoenix Suns in the brand new Acrisure Arena*, giving local fans of the Purple and Gold a chance to see the Lake Show up close and personal.

      LET'S GO LAKERS!!
          ......... Extinguish the PHX Suns!!

IT'S GAME DAY ....... LET'S GO LA LAKERS!!


Quote:
Trevor Lane @Trevor_Lane

........Let's go, Lakers Nation!

...it's Game Day! Lakers vs Suns tonight at 7 pm Pacific.
Both teams expected to use their regular season rotation for about 3 quarters.

What we're rooting for:

* Lakers' defensive schemes can create inefficient nights for KD, Beal, Booker.

* LA can force Suns' big 3 to defend

* Lakers' presumed bench (Vincent, Christie, Rui, Hayes, Wood) provides a sizable edge over Suns' bench

* 5-out offense generates good scoring opportunities at the rim and behind the arc

*Reaves-DLo best friends backcourt keeps Suns guessing by varying attack, spreading the ball to multiple scoring options

*Everyone stays healthy

Haven't heard definitively yet. He's scheduled to get reevaluated tomorrow so I lean towards no.

I had to come check if this game is today or tomorrow. I'm not gonna lie I'm kind of ready for the preseason to be over and start the real deal.

Chemistry building? Gel-time? It's actually very important that we play like a cohesive unit right out of the gate because four of our first five games will be against West elite teams. We've got to be ready to roll!!

Welp

Gabe Vincent will be held out tonight for “precautionary” reasons with back tightness.

Jarred Vanderbilt remains out due to the left heel soreness that’s kept him out since the preseason opener. He’s set to be re-evaluated tomorrow.

Rookie Jalen Hood-Schifino is also out tonight.

Memory of a preseason game way back — Summer of 1991, I think it was —Mike Dunleavy, Lakers vs Blazers, after a win in Overtime (paraphrasing): “It started as an exhibition and turned into a war.”

Yikes what happened there Phoenix?

Seems like the Suns are pretty un-serious about this game.
