re: 2022-23 Lakers Thread

Poor Lakers just can NOT shoot...scary when Westbrook is your 3-pt threat. LeBron is officially over the hill...

Lebron has been incredibly passive this game. Hasn't really attacked the rim since the 1st quarter. He's also played like 48 mins tonight.

47 minutes for Bron in an L. Washed king

that was a foul there at the end

NBA rule per Scalabrine this morning on SXM

If you hit the ball first and you high five the hand on the follow through, it’s not a foul, therefore they made a correct non call last night.

The L2M will be interesting for sure, but in slow motion didn’t look like a foul to me.

Yeah, Lakers have Lebron, AD and Westbrook, after those three they have guys that can get hot here and there but are mostly not good.

Unfortunately they all got hit at once which carried them to a few wins, but that’s the game I guess

OKC wins and jumps the Lakers in the standings, giving L.A. the 3rd worst record in the West.

“Juan Toscano-Anderson told us that he went to the store with his girlfriend,” Dave McMenamin said, referencing Westbrook’s clothing store. “… He said he bought every single male item of clothing in his size in the store. He dropped several thousand dollars just to support his teammate. … This shows to me that, for a guy who had trouble connecting with the Lakers locker room last season for a variety of reasons, mostly based on the frustrations from how he was fitting on the court, he has a true connection to this year’s group.”

LOL.

Edit: LINK

So, a minimum salary player is out there spending thousands of dollars to give to his teammate that’s made $339 million dollars in his career?

Piss poor money management, and piss poor teammate in Westbrook that would take his money like that.

They're gonna give Russ 6 man of the year for being the same player they shite on all last year but now he comes off the bench.
