Game 3 Thread: Kings (1-1) vs Lakers (1-1)

Post #1 » by **codydaze** » Sun Oct 26, 2025 11:25 pm

Kings look to light the beam for the second game in a row against a short handed Lakers team. Lebron is still out until at least mid-November and Luka joins him on the injury report, leaving a less than intimidating roster that we will be facing off against. Fortunate break for us that we should capitalize on and look to get some of the things we've been struggling with straightened out.

Is Zach out? We have a hell of a lot more depth behind him than Domas, but would be nice to be healthy

-just noticed he's back

Should be a win without Luka, we'll see

Keon better starting than coming off the bench, but that was a small lineup.

Russ I take back the initial complaints, lol, just bringing the mentality I thought he would

I dont even know who to blame for this late meltdown

Russ missing free throws

Sabonis just got outworked for a rebound and a dunk on his head

Derozan stupid shots

Schroder lazy defense...

just a line of weak play....

This is the 4th oldest roster in the league btw. Austin Reaves is a really good player but losing to him and the rest of this Lakers squad without Lebron and Luka is unacceptable when you are built to compete.

How do you lose to a team missing LeBron and Luka? We should have destroyed them. It's only one game but this should not of been even close.

This team still remains unserious

It's a treadmill team on definition. Talented/offensive enough to hang with anyone, and not cohesive/defensive enough to put away anyone... I see a season of this, might play the most close games of any team in the league.. Anyone rooting for the tank tho.. if Schroder (side from awful 4th) and Russ will contribute, there is just too much on the roster to get any type of solid pick..

Obviously better for the franchise to tank, but I get Vivek's impulse with the season ticket holders to watch competitive bball every night as well

Lets tank!

I wonder if sabonis is tradable? Its hard to find a lot of spots that'd be interested in a limited big on that contract.

Overall never hated a roster more than this one. Very hard to watch when keegan/nique out and keon still cant crack 20 mins.

I just gotta hope Perry nukes this core. Guessing 28 wins
