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.
Lakers fans experiencing the “Christian Wood effect” right now. Thanks for taking him off our hands.
What the fuck is up with this thread acting like this game wasn’t a preseason game???
Least biased title - LOL just saw the username too.
Retire lebum
This dude always has the dumbest titles when it involves the Lakers lol
Suns bench has been pretty good the entire preseason, hoping it translates to the regular season.
Supporting cast showed a lot of effort.
Lmao little bit of a misleading title when the Lakers were up at half with their starters in
But I hope this was the first step in everyone knowing we have depth now
Our bench brought it back to a one point game after KD checked out at the half against Bron and AD. Definitely a bit of artistic license being taken with the title, but certainly not an encouraging performance by the Lakers.
Obviously it’s preseason and only means so much, but there’s a reason the Lakers game thread was super butthurt lol.
Because our sub is pretty stupid mostly
We beat the kings starters without LeBron, AD, or Reaves. It’s just the preseason, guys are definitely not going at a full speed yet. Unless we are meant to believe our bench is better than the kings starters and the suns bench can compete with our starters.
Name a team with a worse bench than the Lakers
Name a Redditor with worse takes than you
Crazy how people put more energy into hating the Lakers than rooting for their team. They must be a fun person to be around.
Bulls maybe
I know your joking but like the spurs exist.
There depth goes like 6 deep
FRANK VOGEL 🐐
Fuck no, he was fired for a reason. We actually run plays on offense now while still having an elite defense. Ham is better.
He won you a ring wtf??
And Ham is still a better coach. Wild how that works right? But when you don’t run an NBA offense that’s what happens.
Lakers fans DIPPED out of that game thread real quick after the start of the the third.
Plenty of us in here though nobody is hiding lol
Rams and dodgers been making the cardinals and dbacks their bitch for years. But the Suns lowkey have been spanking the lakers the last 3 or so years and this year will be no different
Dodgers forgot to turn on bitch mode, instead played the Uno reverse card and became the bitches themselves 😂😞
None of that shit matters if you don’t win it all. Rams, Dodgers, and Lakers all got one. Dbacks have a shot, Suns might too we’ll see.
Thats fair. Its evident tho the suns get up to play the lakers and every single shot goes in every time they play yall lmao
Clippers wishing to face Lakers since 2020 in playoffs and they can’t
Actually the clips have been waiting their entire existence for that
I bet it happens the moment they move to their new arena. Just so we all get robbed of the “Hallway Series” that everyone wanted to see.
Dbacks got one in 2001
The Dodgers are really bad at baseball
I’m sure the takes here will be as reasonable as some of the dumbass ones in the Lakers sub
Do the lakers have the worst supporting cast of all time?! Why yes I think they do!
I believe that in a 7 game series the Suns bench would beat our starters like they did in the first 5 minutes of the third
You’d have thought Mavs game 7 was happening again reading our game thread comments when Lakers were up like 12-5.
guys we’ve been destroyed
Rob needs to trade everyone but LBJ and AD for Kyrie
Do it plz
It’s LeOver
Why would anyone trade Lyndon B Johnson?
How long can AD hold up having to carry this hard? I give it maybe 20 games before he has to take a break for a month or two.
I’m just here for the hot takes
