Denver is better coached. Malone is a piece of dirt but he’s head and shoulders above Ham.


Ham's only in his 2nd year as a head coach. Malone should be a better coach than him.


Lebron is not in his second year.

We need a coach that matches talent with our best player.

Rui needs to learn how to rebound.


Rui needs to start navigating the pick and pops and rolls like he did last year. He looked lost out there today, and honestly throughout pre-season.

He's playing like he expected to not be a role player this year and was forcing things too much in pre-season. But now in the first game he looked lost like he was searching for his place/role in the offense.

Those things need to be fixed. I am sure his confidence is sky high, but he can't come into this year thinking we were gonna start using him like Kawhi.

We did play bad as team, but the over reaction is waaaay over the top….AR had a horrible game, but atypical…d lo has definitely had better games and a lot of other lakers were still a good team, but coach needs to get it together his rotations are still choppy leaving Vincent out there for so long was a bad idea have Austin run point when d lo sits until Vincent gets back in form…then you could bring in prince as a 2 for 3 shooting or give max run there

ONE game!!!!!


Again, don't pay attention to it. People that panic after the first game of the season are worse than the people that pretend winning game 1 means they're going to have an 82-0 season.

You know this is loser talk, right? After the game, the losers usually bring up excuses like only first game or new team still needs chemistry. Those are all excuses for the loss.

Yeah, Loser for ONE game. Did we get eliminated yet and should we fast forward to next season?

Like I've said, we need an experienced coach who's ready to win. Not a second-year coach who's still trying to learn. lol.

Fire the coach who won a championship and hire a rookie HC because rookie HC are more obedient.

On to the next . lakers will still finish top 4 (if healthy) but they have to avoid Denver again until wcf unless they make moves to matchup with them.

Bottom line is this….

Davis has to be aggressive in two halves.
He is going to be roasted by the media and deservedly so.
Zero points in the second half.
Give me a break.

Rui only 14 minutes.

Once Vando is back there will be a huge logjam in the forward spots

The problem with the Lakers today was after the first half they started playing as if LeBron was their first option on offense, instead of their second. We ran our offense through Davis in the first half and got to rolling. We cut the lead in the 2nd half and then started forcing things through LeBron and left AD out of the equation and by the time we decided to go back to him it was too late.


We can SAY it's AD's team all we want to, but till we start coaching like it, he'll have on fire halves and quarters and then not see the ball again for 2 quarters and we'll wonder, ''What happened?".

We run our offense through AD first and foremost, that's how we're going to win games, and we stop trying to force it to LeBron to finish runs when we should continue to go through our main guy.

We had the right idea in the first half, got away from it in the 2nd half and it cost us.

Lakers getting excatly what everybody knew was going to happen.

1. YOU NEED A TRUE CENTER...did we get one? Not really..we let everyone pass by to get WOOD...welp.
2. We needed a true backup PG that did well in the REG season? Get one? Dont liook like it. SHOULD HAVE Kept SCOOT and PAID THE MAN..but nope.
3. Should have got somebody with a more that two cells in the head that could tell HAM to stop the idiot line ups or dumb rotations..got anybody? Nope


soooo what people expecting?


You’re the same idiot as last year


You calling names still again? Sad little guy..smh. However i know you cant answer those things i put out there..and i told these things this summer and now those same things people complaining about still..LOL!!!!

Well, the core of this team went to the WCF, the core of last year’s team didn’t make the playoffs.

Nah, we roll from here. Denver is just unbeatable. Everyone else is cake. We might just go 10-1.

That 2nd year coach when given an actual team helped coach us from a 2-10 start to the Western Conference Finals.

Ham makes young coach mistakes, but he also doesn't get any credit whatsoever when we succeed.

When we win it's all the players, when we lose it's all Ham.

Let's not play that game.

We fought and battled. They just big brother’d us. No scheme or coach can overcome the talent deficit. Yes, we are deeper…but they’re top talent beats ours. Simple as that.

We’ll get better for sure, and we don’t know who will be healthy come playoff time. But all else being equal…Nuggets are better.

The issue is AD isnt a guy u can consistently run an offense through because the dude frankly doesnt have go-to moves that can consistent get buckets in high leverage situations. Running an offense through AD as some sort of go-to player is a fool's errand.

I see Nuggets still shooting lights out against us...

Like I said worst place to start the season at that high altitude. Lebron is 7-14 on opening nights.
