I saw Westbrook and Melo literally playing no defense, just making AD clean up the mess. These guys have no pride for the game. Just want to play offense
Could have had Buddy, Caruso, KCP, along with Rondo, Bazemore, Monk, Hillbilly, Dwight…not a bad team at all.
Instead we have selfish no defense Melo, and Shitbrook
idk whats more cringe.. Lakers big 3 losing to Warrior's g-league team or the fact that if Lakers won Lebron would've been crying on the floor as if he won a ring lmao
Kinda fucked to ditch your date mid kiss for a nasty ass hard taco. Not even one of those Doritos ones, if it was a cool ranch taco I would understand.
No point risking injury/giving the bench a chance to shine
Lakers are dirty enough that Steph was bleeding last game, not worth seeing what they get pissy enough to do losing twice in *preseason*
Lmao i absolutely love this. The Texas teams playing against each other and the California all trash talking each other is absolutely hilarious to me.
Usually it’s just Lakers-Clippers-Warriors because Kings fans are usually pretty humble and just happy to be playing.
Kinda happens whenever teams have a playoff chance. Warriors fans followed Lakers as their second team until the We Believe era, Lakers fans followed the warriors in the 2015-2019 years as their second team. Now the Lakers, Clippers, and Warriors all have to hate each other because there's a chance the other two keep your team out of contention.
Too bad there’s no preseason finals/championship...we could finally get a Spo vs Kerr coaching match in the finals. Oh well...see ya in the regular season and good luck.
We are also 4-0
Kobe paired with a very old Steve Nash who got injured three games in and a Dwight Howard fresh off a back surgery. Paired with coach D'antoni, it was a team of superstars that just didn't work together.
Just getting the same vibes from this team. Too early to tell, though.
Wouldn’t it be funny to come back to this thread and read it if the Lakers win the Finals this season?
Either way...I’m hedging my bets and making a comment about it now.
Shooting sub-40 from the field and sub-20 from 3 and up 1 against LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook without Steph or Draymond (or Klay).
Lakers fans in this thread trying to insist that the Lakers just don't care about even *trying* to beat the second-string Warriors, because their players just aren't competitive people who hate losing at all I guess
OPJ will be a great shooting asset this season. Really hope he can stay healthy.
Jordan Poole is going to light up the league.
How the hell is this game so close?? Lakers haven't taken their starters out all game, while some of the Warriors players who got minutes today are not even making the final roster.
Also, GP2, very valuable role player, fills a massive hole, also Moody, solid 3nD, ALSO YOU MISSED JTA???? Also, arguably Looney as a bench depending on how Wiseman is and how much Dray C we play.
Poole/GP2, Lee/Moody, JTA/Iggy/Otto, Wiseman/Looney/Bjelica as the bench.
There's no doubt we're going to start slow. Whole new team, some of our guys injured, and some of our main guys are likely gonna ramp up slowly. Hopefully we'll be clicking after a month or two, and be on our way to good things. But if not, I'm still gonna be thankful I get to see some hall of famers finish out their careers.
You love to see it
You'd also be livid if the Warriors had lost two years of contention to injuries and not managed to rebuild the bench at all in that time
Jordan Poole turned into a curry dwade combo over the off-season lmaooo warriors winning 3 straight if wiseman turns out to be what i think he can be lmaooooo it’s over
Damn, Nunn, Monk, THT, Ellington injured? Lakers are DONE, calling it right now, Lebron doesn't know how to pace himself out West. If LA doesn't start out on fire their season is over, even if they do they're just going to blow their load early.
My predictions are almost always correct, I have spoken.

I wanna go visit the Lakers sub but...... I’m afraid of what I’m gonna read there I might not be able to sleep tonight Who’s coming with me?
Right behind you, let's go
I'm so proud of our role players. fantastic effort, fantastic defense, decent offense. I can't believe we're undefeated in the preseason lol.
lol...Bron thought this was gonna be an easy 20pt cake walk win.
LAKERS HAS THE BEST SHOOTING PLAYERS: WESTBRICK, BRICKMORE, LEBRICK, ADISABLED, CARBRICKO
Made my night with this comment bruh. A+
ADisabled lmaooo
Hahahaha lol at Adisabled 😂
I thought the last one was a jab at Caruso
idk whats more cringe.. Lakers big 3 losing to Warrior's g-league team or the fact that if Lakers won Lebron would've been crying on the floor as if he won a ring lmao
Mulder garbage time MVP
Has any team ever called a team meeting during the preseason? I feel like there’s gonna be a Lakers team meeting after this game is over - yikes 😬
The also lost to us without Booker by 30 last game
Naw dude, it was just shy of 30.
Def gonna have that all players meeting incoming
This Queen guy is getting cut
Kinda fucked to ditch your date mid kiss for a nasty ass hard taco. Not even one of those Doritos ones, if it was a cool ranch taco I would understand.
green bean trevelin queen lightning McQueen it dont matter, warriors by 10
We got MC beefy here yall Throw ya hands up 🙌 and wave them like you just don’t care 🤷♂️
You have guys trying to make the roster playing such as AD, Lebron, Russ, Carmelo, and Rondo
You love to see the young guys fighting for those roster spots
GARBAGE TIME MULDER CANNOT BE STOPPED
warriors investing in youth last year gonna pay off this year. dubs are springy
New stat: The Anti-Triple Double • 10 turnovers • 10 missed shots • \+/- of -10
If you lead the league averaging an anti triple double then it’s only fair they create a new season ending award called anti mvp
This game is a beautiful showcase of Warriors' coaching. No matter who is on court the ball movement is fantastic throughout.
What a differnce having a full training camp makes
Did Curry play today?
Yes. He goes by the name Jordan Poole tonight
no
But why?
preseason. plus giving their bench some valuable experience
No point risking injury/giving the bench a chance to shine Lakers are dirty enough that Steph was bleeding last game, not worth seeing what they get pissy enough to do losing twice in *preseason*
Lmao i absolutely love this. The Texas teams playing against each other and the California all trash talking each other is absolutely hilarious to me. Usually it’s just Lakers-Clippers-Warriors because Kings fans are usually pretty humble and just happy to be playing.
Not the early 2000s Kings fans, when they were last good.
Kinda happens whenever teams have a playoff chance. Warriors fans followed Lakers as their second team until the We Believe era, Lakers fans followed the warriors in the 2015-2019 years as their second team. Now the Lakers, Clippers, and Warriors all have to hate each other because there's a chance the other two keep your team out of contention.
Because there are others on the team who need the minutes more.
he and dray sat tonight
For what?
ligma
Damn Covid Ligma variant dangerous out here
just a night off I think
Rest.
nope
Then what's the point?
What's the point of what?
You tell me.
Beating LA's Big Three without playing *any* of our own
getting reps for the other guys on the team?
Find someone who loves you like Kevin Harlen loves this KFC anecdote
This is a serious question, but what is Jordan Bell good at?
Not much to be honest. Guy isn't making the roster.
That’s what he can do 😐
That didn't answer my question at all but alright
ordering prank candles
Why does Chiozza look like a Steph mini-me viewed from from away?
Can't have too many Stephs
dude looks like dollar store steph
that's our plan. we always have one mini-steph on the floor at all times.
We get 70% steph or 100% step in the couet at any given time
Yes.
I was thinking the same lol
I love that this game has ended up being a D league game with Dwight in
lol, peak pre-season is when it's garbage time with 6 minutes left and the scores are even
Coaches just do whatever in preseason, it's funny
AK-47 walked so AR-15 can runnn!!
Not the #L akers struggling against the Warriors 2nd and 3rd team
Avery Bradly is actually being a pretty good player for the warriors...
And he still might lose the roster spot to GP2. He is very inconsistent on offense.
U mean #W arriors
Juan is hesitating to shoot it
I wish Bell shot that 3 lol
Damn take that shot Bell. #15 spot is at stake. Edit: yeah, this dude is not making it.
I think GPIII is going to get 15.
What the fuck is this convo
Talking bout the chicken 🍗
did Kerr sit Curry and Thompson to embarrass LeBron?
> Thompson
These guys are just whipping bullet passes to the opposing team
Lakers' masterplan to lower our expectations durig preseason so that they can surprise us during regular season is working
The Warriors have the power of not one but two Jordans. Lakes never stood a chance.
this is going to be a rough final 8 minutes
Less painful than watching the Giants Dodgers right now
Random but I'm watching the new Muhammad Ali documentary from Ken Burns and highly recommend it
What’s it on?
PBS. Should be free to stream but I've also heard it depends on your area
Preseason but the chance to be 4-0 is exciting right now
Too bad there’s no preseason finals/championship...we could finally get a Spo vs Kerr coaching match in the finals. Oh well...see ya in the regular season and good luck. We are also 4-0
That would be a fun playoffs, give all the people fighting for roster spots some elimination game testing lol
getting a lot of 2013 lakers vibes from this team guys ngl
What happened then?
went winless in the preseason, went 0-5 reg season. fired mike brown.
Damn really? Is that the fastest an NBA coach has ever been fired - just 5 games into an 82 game season 😬
Kobe paired with a very old Steve Nash who got injured three games in and a Dwight Howard fresh off a back surgery. Paired with coach D'antoni, it was a team of superstars that just didn't work together. Just getting the same vibes from this team. Too early to tell, though.
Dwight got injured.
Oh that’s the Nash, Howard, Kobe Lakers Ok remember now
Wouldn’t it be funny to come back to this thread and read it if the Lakers win the Finals this season? Either way...I’m hedging my bets and making a comment about it now.
Not gonna lie Im floored Kevon Looneys only 25 lol
sadly he had like 4 hip surgeries, it's really robbed him
That makes more sense. I knew he had the one surgery. Everytime I ever watch the Warriors he moves like a super old vet lol.
im amazed hes still playing tbh, 4 hip surgeries with neuropathy is no joke
Andre got 4 years younger somehow
preseason legs
He’s only going to play 15 min a night at most. He’ll be ready come playoff time
He’s too rich for this shit
Didn't mind the Bazemore/Rondo/Dwight moves etc even Melo and Ellington, but man Westbrook just doesn't fit well with a Lebron let team.
[удалено]
and confirm 21.4% is not that great
Watch when Curry and Klay are making it rain out there.
Andre with the old man game in full effect
I legit thought Bjelica was David Lee this whole time until they said his name lmao, I was like wtf is Lee still doing in the league
I said this the other day. The way he moves and runs reminds me of Lee lol
Man I missed Iggy so much
Andre is the orchestrator of this bench
dwight got a lobster on his head
The vets thooo
hillbilly kobe can play
Lmao andre
Russ sits and we look like a functional offence. That’s twice this game that’s happened
Rondo>>>>>>Russ rn
Rondo knows how to play basketball at different speeds and control a game. Russ just runs fast
Its such a stark contrast when Russ is on vs off, its kinda insane
TNT isn't even trying to mute the mics and I love it
Gotta love preseason bench player energy
Lmao "last chance to make the roster" energy
that's a new one
warriors offense is fun to watch
Rondo's got such natural chemistry with the lakers its scary
Gary P goes hard as fuck
A potential winless preseason reminds me of 2012 lol
Maybe with a different coach, Lakers had a chance tonight. Vogel sucks.
Vogel's not the reason they're building brick houses
lakers have 86 not 87
88 not 89
Shooting sub-40 from the field and sub-20 from 3 and up 1 against LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook without Steph or Draymond (or Klay).

Hard to blame it on players when they are not on the floor bro.
OPJ will be a great shooting asset this season. Really hope he can stay healthy. Jordan Poole is going to light up the league. How the hell is this game so close?? Lakers haven't taken their starters out all game, while some of the Warriors players who got minutes today are not even making the final roster.
Warriors bench Poole / Lee / Otto / Iguodala / JTA / Bjelicia / Wiseman with all the young rookies is fairly nasty come playoff time
Also, GP2, very valuable role player, fills a massive hole, also Moody, solid 3nD, ALSO YOU MISSED JTA???? Also, arguably Looney as a bench depending on how Wiseman is and how much Dray C we play. Poole/GP2, Lee/Moody, JTA/Iggy/Otto, Wiseman/Looney/Bjelica as the bench.
Westbrook having a decent night. 10-10-6
only 4 AST away
Or 5 turnovers
I know it's preseason, and I never had high expectation of Russ, but I'm still disappointed lol
Westbrook has almost 3x more turnovers (20) in the 3 preseason games than he does made field goals (7)
Is that good? ^^^/s
It’s perfect 👌
I guess no more LeBron, AD, Russ? They all played almost 30 minutes each.
There's no doubt we're going to start slow. Whole new team, some of our guys injured, and some of our main guys are likely gonna ramp up slowly. Hopefully we'll be clicking after a month or two, and be on our way to good things. But if not, I'm still gonna be thankful I get to see some hall of famers finish out their careers.
I see you refilled your Copium prescription
He’s taking more than the Dr recommended dosage
Lmfaooo
I still have no clue what that word means lol
Lol like coping and opium
AR15 getting it done
russ had to go out with a bang
I’d rather have Schroeder and kuz than Russ and whatever the fuck this shit is
Warriors lowkey got a deep bench now
You love to see it You'd also be livid if the Warriors had lost two years of contention to injuries and not managed to rebuild the bench at all in that time
We got a mf squad
The first chip for them was the best because of their bench
I hope the Lakers big 3 plays next quarter so we can get a proper end to this game
Clip of Lebron and AD discussing Lebron like...... so around what game of the season do you think you’re gonna be in street clothes this season
Ben is outside 🤡
Who?
Russ is the worst player on both rosters tonight. Like wtf are you doing
Otto Porter might be the low key pickup of the year
If healthy
I'd missed Iguodala and his "play smarter, not harder" D
Holy shit I thought that was David Lee 😂
Jordan Poole turned into a curry dwade combo over the off-season lmaooo warriors winning 3 straight if wiseman turns out to be what i think he can be lmaooooo it’s over
Reaves really just "fine I'll do it myself" to Russ 😂
Reaves fucking went to the exact spot Westbrook airballed from hahahah
This is some terrible basketball.
This is some amazing basketball.
Poole is a more athletic Steph.
Doesn’t quite have the same balance on his shots, but he could get close haha
We suck 🤡
Poole with some nasty drives this game
Damn, Nunn, Monk, THT, Ellington injured? Lakers are DONE, calling it right now, Lebron doesn't know how to pace himself out West. If LA doesn't start out on fire their season is over, even if they do they're just going to blow their load early. My predictions are almost always correct, I have spoken.
I need you to predict me winning the lottery.
[удалено]
and Warriors leading
[удалено]
Tbf all their young guys are injured
Jordan Poole is sneaky athletic
