Vando's injury is not good for him. Prince might stay as a starter permanently specially if he is a scoring threat unlike Vando.
Lakers coach has way more options than ever before. They CAN Win a Lot even without their two big guys! Unlike last year, Playoffs are for sure.
Would like to see Cam play more tonight given Vando’s injury status.
They need to play AD/Hayes or woods/AD. Whenever KD and Nurkic on the floor
That is what I said for real.
Sign Bernard and we will have 3 Kings!
I'm over here trying to comment and here's Trevor saying the next thing that comes to my head. That's my deal with the free flow of the 5 out offense is that they have been playing better transition defense. Transition was their best offensive weapon last year and on the opposite end was the biggest hole in their defense. AD and Bron are the only 30+ guys on the team. Want to see them get out on the run especially in the non-AD minutes just going on spurts. It's definitely looking like Bron could easily push it to year 25 if they let him play primarily off-ball and let Bron sit in 4th quarters.
Max at best is and G League player with a focus on addressing his malfunction hair style.
Bron
AD
TP
AR
Dlo
/
Rui
Hayes
Wood
GV
Max

Vando
Reddish
That's the regular season squad !
Why lakers is the only team who play 6 preseason games and others teams has 3 or 4 I believe.
Lakers should play 2 full lines . That second line will demolish any second line in the league. It will be a mf PROBLEM
As always great report! You are always on the case!
Lakers should be running :
AD
Lebron
Hayes
Prince
DLo
We need Wood or Hayes starting otherwise we have to dump 2 centers off the bench alongside Rui… its just awkward.. it seems like people are complicating the rotations and making them centered around never playing a center with AD its not how basketball is played its a recent phenomenon of the last 3 years.
Anthony Davis tears his achilles in preseason game against the Suns in a devastating blow to the franchise.
Lakers need to sign Dwight Howard. I can’t figure out what I’m missing here. The man can still play defense and rebound well. We need defensive presence for Joker, Giannis, Embid etc. AD is an elite defender but he needs help. Dwight was a big reason they won a few years ago
I haven't seen the defense and that worries me a lot, if the defense don't come thru we're done
I would like to see C.Wood do more rim defending, more of Raddish, and a more aggressive Christie on the floor.
I would have DLo guard Beal
Forza Lakers idol Lebking
See games like this Is when you want Vando lol
Well, at least 1 of the big 3 scorers will always be out there on the floor for the Suns. And, they will be there with possibly both Gordon and Allen, along with Wanatabe, KBD, and/or Metu. All those guys can stretch the floor and attack the rim.
Yo T-Dawg I always appreciate the way you break things down. I think your past teaching credentials really shine through in how you analyze things and the insightful questions you bring up. Keep up the good work!
Wouldn’t you think Rui would have an advantage guarding Beal? Being that they’ve played together
Max looks a lot more comfortable out there with the stars and I think LeBron is starting to trust him more. Playing him over reddish probably is the better move
Lakers bench not much better
Western Finals preview
bruh, LEharrypotter isnt a *lasker an never wyll be. trevor hoax lane styll cappin 4 LEbacteria an posse. the new signin is anotha LEgm trade chip if he shows no signs of upliftin the queen's legacy. *lasker franchise is in shambles. 😅😅
Let's go, Lakers!!! Be those Suns 🌞!
Christie is not ready yet, gimme Lewis instead
that g league squad underrated as hell . casselteon , fudge , king , hodge and jhs with pippen jr coming off the bench is crazy
I like the latest signing Louis King. He reminds me of a young Glenn Rice. True bucket getter.
I've been here since all away games were free on kcal. I haven't been this excited in a long time, but I don't trust Hamm. 04 pistons. I think the team is strong enough to overcome him, but anything less than a ring is failure. I was magics return home game forum. Cebalos running to Havasu. Lmao.
I love austin reaves guarding devin booker tbh
Miss the Kobe chant Intro
My name is Ken Field. I’m a 40 year die hard Laker fan. I’m one of your earliest fans Trevor. There are now many copy cats of your show. They can’t carry your shoes! You have been in an elite league all your own! Bravo to you! Wishing you continued success!
If Phoenix blows us out and Vogel outcoaches Ham easily we'll be 2-4. If that happens and we seriously want to win a Championship we are going to have to look reality in the face this time.
Nice 🎉job
Wish we only have one of them
Devin booker was a leaguer to
53-29 this year.!!!
Lakers has the Worst color guy ever! He's Terrible!!
