BOX SCORE


Lakers starters played until halfway in the 3rd quarter. No Booker, no Beal, and Durant only played in the first half. Lakers bench was atrocious. Cam Reddish, Christian Wood, and Rui Hachimura combined for 7 points. Collectively they were a -93.

That’s so incredible they could do that in the preseason

[–] Hifosty@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Really missed Vando on the defensive end out there and bench didn't play great

Loved what I saw from AD & DLo

Suns bench looks better than I thought but Nurkic almost fouling out is concerning

Why is Lebron still the best player on this team? Embarrassing let the old man rest

[–] Basic_Commercial_806@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lebron will probably be playing 40+ minutes in January again trying to keep the Lakers in playoffs.

I’m really really praying for a repeat of the 2019-20 season for the lakers

[–] chickenripp@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

if book and beal played in the first half we would have won 40

I may have underestimated Frank Vogel's impact. Which is odd because I was a huge advocate of his before, during, and after his Lakers tenure

Ik it’s preseason and we won by 25 but why tf was Nurkic constantly going at AD on offense

Like bro got blocked 5 times and kept going at him 😂 Can’t happen during reg season and playoffs

[–] jaycdillinger94@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

At least Nurkic tried, Ayton woukd just be in the corner giving AD free dunks

[–] BobLobLaw_Law2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Couldn’t watch the game but how is Hachimura so far?

[–] CrazyDaylight8@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Terrible this game but good otherwise

[–] cuhman1cuhman2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I dont get what Ham was cooking when subbed in Reddish and Wood straight away. All the momentum we had went away when those two came in. Hayes and Christie should take every minute they have unless we're up by 20.

Rui had an awful game. It happens he'll bounce back. Overall excluding Rui our main rotation looked fine, but we could have capitalized on better looks. Bron, Ad, Prince, Reaves, and Dlo can stick with anyone and our bench will be better once Vincent and Vando are back.

It'll be a fun season hopefully we have a healthy playoff series against the Nuggs or Suns. Even if we lose it'll be great basketball. :P

Christian Wood -35 in 15:20.

[–] Alone_Bodybuilder345@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lakers fans experiencing the “Christian Wood effect” right now. Thanks for taking him off our hands.

[–] LakerGiraffe@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What the fuck is up with this thread acting like this game wasn't a preseason game????

[–] HerkulezRokkafeller@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This was a good reminder that if I don’t want to unnecessarily lose brain cells I need to stay away from Lakers and Suns game threads this season.

[–] CazOnReddit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cam Reddish, Christian Wood, and Rui Hachimura combined for 7 points

A Raptors 22/23 bench special

[–] RVAIsTheGreatest@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I will tell you what the real takeaway has been this entire preseason---it's that this Suns team can lock you up when they really dig in and engage. And off the bench, this team has a lot of dogs who are gonna compete and really bring energy and effort on that end of the floor. The Suns bench is gonna surprise some folks it looks like come regular season time. This team's defense could to.

I didn't see either as tremendous weaknesses compared to the average fan and in both departments, defense/bench, Suns have passing grades at the end of preseason.

Nurkic is the worst starting center in nba. Proof me wrong
