The Lakers went 0-3 to start the season, then went 7-3

[insidehoops]

So now 7-6 and thru Sunday, the Lakers are now the West 8-seed.

Only via a tie-breaker with the 9-seed Kings. But still. Positive signs for LAL.

[3ball]

Standard figuring out chemistry on a team with a lot of good players on both sides of the ball

7-3 is standard, non-juggernaut lebron-ball that occur with super-team casts and normal casts alike

Chandler addition was great, two games where already won by his defense

7-3 is solid for a team full of rookies led by a an upstart rook...

Oh wait.. wrong thread

The 1990 Bulls with peak MJ started out 7-6.

Oh wait, wrong thread..

11-2 at the age Lebron is now, or 12-1

With a lot less offensive help

And don't blame Michael for having the skill to fit into a system for a dynasty that would carry him into retirement..

So don't hate on him for having the skill to not need to team-hop

[MJistheGOAT]

I expected them to be in the 6th-8th seed this year and a 1r exit, it was obvious they would improve because of chemistry and geling.

Chandler has been a HUGE addition.

If you ignore the fact that Lebron has a crap ton more miles on his body.

[Jay-B]

They have lost a lot of close games too

[elementally morale]

Decent team.

5-7th in the West, putting up a fight in the 1st round possibly winning it. I feel the same I felt in August.

[MoBe1Kanobi]

And the Kings started the season off 6-3.

Literally the Lakers just started catching up to the Kings level of basketball excellence.

[kennethgriffen]

wake me up in april when the "called in favors" are done getting this agenda driven team into the post season



you're all saps for watching any games since that shit went down


this is WWE ... did we all forget?

[ShawkFactory]

Pretty easy stretch coming up too. Could easily see them getting to something like 15-9 in the next few weeks.

Lakerhoops! :rockon:

I don't quite see proper chemistry from Lakers yet. They are still out of sync and can't close out 4th quarters.

I feel like they will also have to move Ingram or Ball, but I'm not sure whether Magic will do it mid-season or over the summer. I think they will give Lonzo another season to improve further, but Ingram's time may be done here unfortunately. He is not focused- he is too worried about other stuff, such as whether he starts or not. Let him go to another young team without depth at the 3 and get his starting spot.. He is naturally a sf anyways, not a sg.

They will improve further as season progresses. I don't like what I'm seeing out there even though we are winning games.

Your welcome

:coleman:



i said a fully healthy cavs team not trying to tank would be capable of making the finals


that was before the season and finding out kawhi is as good as ever, giannis is better than ever and the cavs indeed did decide to tank

[AirTupac]

What if they were trying hard to win games, troll? Would they be better than than the Lakers?

[PP34Deuce]

Creative trollers are funny...

No emotional trollers deserves the time or response.

[bluechox2]

yall literally played and won all of the previous years lottery teams....calm down

[Duncan21formvp]

Irrevelant he needs to win titles with the Lakers franchise to be of any relevance.

[Kawhi]

10-10 is not above .500

[StrongLurk]

These close losses will definitely come back to bite them as they miss the playoffs by a couple games. The Spurs loss is a season killer (lose up 6 with 50 seconds left :facepalm)
