I wonder if Matt Ryan would get tick on any other team. He's a necessity on this team.

LeBron has been a disaster this game.

Is Reggie on Westbrook's PR team or something? Jesus Christ.

Shutting this off, will check back in later on if close

Bad shoting game for Lebron, but no help from the others shooting wise

And then add on reffing advantage for GS and its over

Pelinka must be pleasing Jeanie for him to have his job...

Barkley is out here singing a victim song for Westbrook. LOL.

Poor Westbrook… the Lakers have scapegoated him and Vogel.

Sad face.

To be honest, Lakers were decent other than shooting open shots. I like Ham’s rotations better. Lakers created a lot of open looks and of they were simply just “bad” at 5-21 or so, the game looks different. AD showed good activity, missed some easy ones, and James’s 3 point shot was off. James showed very good energy otherwise. 18 FTs to 13, 3-21 on threes and a three possession game. If AD is going to play like this then a few pieces could make for a very interesting team.

Im pretty sure that they are going to be considerably better but tonight has been frustrating. The Lakers shooting curse is so unbearable

Walker and Nunn together on court is a walking disaster. I would rather see Reaves and Toscano.

It's no mystery why AD is always picking up injuries. I've never seen a big man fall down so frequently.

Having a limited amount of shooters isn't a curse lol

But yes it is a bit strange how many good shooters have come here and been considerably worse

Role guys were not good tonight

If guys like Lonnie, Bev, JTA cant make wide open 3s, going to be super rough

Gabriel was really bad tonight, but was good in the pre season

Yeah I just mean there seems to be like a 5% handicap on 3 point shooters when they go to LA

at least the roster isn't fossils this year I guess

All I’ll say is, “GAME ONE”.
I know there’s a lot of room for pessimism, but come on guys, take it easy for a bit.

This team needs at least 3-4 solid role players for contention

Embiid is EASILY clear there, other than that yeah, maybe.
This place is a cesspool of mindless ineptitude, mental decrepitude, and intellectual lassitude. I refuse to be sucked any deeper into this whirlpool of groupthink sewage. My opinions have been expressed. I'm going to go take a shower.

Year 20 and LeBron is still easily the best player on the team.
