Most important thing for me is seeing JJ cut out the bs losses like that Nets L last year. Shouldn’t be losing to role player teams like TOR or DET.
Obviously you want to go 10-0 but 5-5/6-4 might be realistic. PHI, MIN and that Grizzlies game in Memphis are the toughest games I see. Would love to see AD cook Sabonis & end that narrative as well.

10-0; I’m not here to be realistic.
It’s feasible though not easy. Suns and Kings back-to-back is shenanigans. I’ll temper my expectations with a slightly more grounded 7-3 if everyone is healthy.
Ten and oh baby.
10-0
Knowing the Lakers, it’s going 5-5
8-2
Lot of tough games in there, plus whatever new systems we’ll be running, could be a rough start. Which means this sub will react with patience and nuance, I’m sure.
The real question is what will the 3 pt % be?
Did anybody hear the Pat Bev snippet of him and Pockets convo in Vegas recently? I don’t think our team will lose for lack of planning and practice under JJ.
6-4
7-3
7-3
6-4 is my prediction. I’m curious about his coaching ability far as dealing with the Locker Room, Offense Schemes, & Lineups
With tears and lots of fan hate.
0-1 and then will probably go on a run
11-0
5-5 would be a horrible start.
11-0
Fuck the first 5 games are a bloodbath
7-3 with Minnesota kicking our ass lol
7-3
6-4 would be solid and realistic
7-3
I’m gonna say .500 team
Need to go at least 2-1 on that home stand and 4-1 on that road trip.
I’m guessing 7-3 or 8-2, I actually think the team starts out hot since AD and Lebron are going to be coming in highly motivated and off the high of the Olympics and the team has a mid-season rutt when that wears off
5-5
3-7
Damn an early 5 game road trip to start the year and prior to that b2b games against Suns and Kings. Lol 2 games against the Raptors and against the Pistons should be a win no excuses. Other 7 teams are playoff teams including Grizzlies with the return of Ja and healthy Bane. Hate to put a record in this first 10 games without seeing final roster and training camp.
5-5
wins vs Detroit, Toronto x2, Memphis, Phoenix
losses vs Phily, Minny, Sac, Phoenix, Cleveland
wish it was 7-3 or so, but new coach, rough gauntlet to start, etc…not too optimistic but hope I am wrong!
7-3
Toronto has a solid team
Slow start where people question him as a coach but he comes around and the Lakers finish strong imo
5-5
10-0. Anything less and hes on the hot seat
6-4 or 7-3.
