    Why are they risking injuries with boat races?

    Do your talking on the court!

    Idiots, FAMS!

    I saw Melo make three baskets ..one dunk and two of his backdown jumpers...the Lakers were hyped over it...just a highlight..didn't watch the game..I follow Melo's podcast so his hoop clips show up on my youtube page

    Since when did older teams care about preseason? They're just trying to get a good sweat in and not twist or pull anything. Uggghhhh, stop making me defend the Lakers!

    They only have 5 guys better than D Leauge call-ups.

    AD LeBron Russ Nunn Monk

    But even those last 3 guys are very weak for a playin teams 3rd-5th best players.

    The rest of that roster are scrubs that have names but are not rotational NBA players in 2022.

    It'll be a fun year to root against them.

    Jordan always took preseason seriously. Also the Steve Nash Lakers were 0-8 in preseason and that was an omen.

    Then you have NOTHING to worry about in those 4 matchups this season. Easy wins if they are THAT garbage right?

    Didn’t get a chance to see it. Family went to a soccer game, but I did record it. Damn, what did LeBron shoot? Westbrook must have played like shit. Going to watch it tomorrow.

    The Blazers could beat any team in the league and lose to almost any team in the league on a single night. The other 78 games each team plays matters much more than 4 games.

    Fortunately for the Lakers, all of those guys are iron men who are not at ALL prone to injury.

    What could possibly go wrong for that team this year?

    But if there as HORRIBLE as you portray them to be, they’ll be in our rear view mirror and nothing to worry about all season right?

    I never said they are horrible, my points have been that they now have worst supporting casts than the last two years, and it's ludicrous how many are putting them up as an enormous west favorite over 82 games.

    They have a bunch of big names that won't help them win. LeBron and AD are a great duo though which can make them a tough out.

    Great take….. but is it any more ludicrous than claiming the Blazers are going to be better than them, when we have a worst supporting cast than we have had the past 2 years as well. You seem to know your shit, don’t let your hate for another team blind you bro.
