Finally! Basketball is back, I mean it's just preseason but still I can't wait.

This thread for all your preseason Laker games, you know what to do, get your leaguepass ready people

See you all Friday with a few drinks and basketball

Ofc its the first time in the 10 years working here i have accepted working an extra shift. Not that it really matters, still havent decided if i should get leaguepass this year. Might hold out til we see what punishment clippers get. Kinda refuse to give money to corrupt organizations

lol, Don't worry bud, it's long wknd here in Aus and even my work asked for me to come in on Saturday (today), I said no can do big daddy, basketball is back on and most likely will be hung over as I like to drink on Friday's lols, I thought it was yesterday my time as it said Friday, I forgot and it's Sat my time lols, none the less we're back. Can't wait for tip off.

First half = Suns 57 Lakers 44

- Rui, Reaves doing their thing on offense
- Vando, doing Vando things on defense, but we need him to hit those 3's SMH 0-2
- Team defense is well, a little Shady LOL
- Not much seen of Angry Ayton, hopefully come regular season it is only preseason

Play of the half = Reaves to Hayes allyoop.

2nd half = Suns 103 Lakers 81

3rd quarter blow out

What I'd like to see more of

-team defense and more communication
- run more plays for Ayton, hopefully Luka/Bron will it's only preseason

Bronny is not even 3rd-string quality. Still don’t know what the coaching staff see in him. Unfortnately, Knecht is also only marginally better.

Game 2: Lakers vs Warriors

First Half - Lakers 55- GSW 62

Highlight
- Vando hit a 3 omg
- Gabe with a buzzer 1st quarter nice
- Ayton will do better at pick n roll, wait until his with Luka
- Vando defense and hustle man, hope he can stay healthy

Hayes is not a rotation big on any playoffs team. We desperately need a better backup. It’s mind blowing to even think this was a starting big last year.

Wouldn't mind Vucevic from Bulls? not sure who for - Gabe/Maxi?

Final Score =

Lakers = 103 GSW = 111

3rd quarter blow out

Nice.


I think.

Damn. NBA league pass silently went from 100 euro to 150ish euro this season(might be 140, not checked conversion rates today). Im getting more and more doubtful ill get it this year. But hey, we need to pay them supermaxes in the league

Lakers traded 3 SRP's and D'Lo for DFS last January.
Lakers then just let him walk away for nothing in the Summer.
I can't help but wonder if the Lakers should have went after Nick Richards(traded by Charlotte for Okogie and 3 SRP'S. instead of DFS.
