    I can maybe see Pacers but my point is, they handled them pretty easily, without having anyone over 30 mins lol. Any team they face is going to have difficulty with them because everyone is going to be fresh.

    And like I said, Hayward and Kyrie were off. Imagine when they're not

    It's finally game day, woooo!

    Who's gonna be watching tonight? Should be quite the game, Portland certainly won't be easy and they got a great shot to win. Not only have they beat the Lakers in 15 straight, they won 17 straight home openers, the longest streak in NBA history.

    Bron's got a pretty good history @ Portland though and I'm not too worried bout those stats anyways, Lakers should've beat em twice last year including once in Portland but Dame just went off at the end. This Lakers team can and will beat them in 1 of the match ups this next month, they play 3 times pretty early on.

    Luke still hasn't revealed the starting lineup but I'm gonna assume it's what they've gone with in practice and the last game: Rondo, KCP, Ingram, Bron, McGee. I think Ball and possibly Hart will eventually get in the starting lineup, Ball sooner than later. I also think Hart and Kuzma will likely close out games, or at least Kuzma..

    Liked some stuff about the Lakers last night, but definitely a lot to work on. But they did take pretty good shots and the offense will be there, they won't go 0-16 on 3's again and most of those were good looks..But shooting is a concern, so is giving up offensive rebounds..blazers got way too many 2nd chances last night. Also Nik Stauskas having a career night didn't help either, ugh.

    Lakers definitely could've won. Bron wasn't spectacular although had some nice plays, like the rest of the team he couldn't hit a 3 and Bron also had some sloppy turnovers, as did some others. But it's early and that's to be expected. I thought Josh Hart, Rondo and McGee were all great. Stephenson was awful.

    I thought Luke really had some weird substitutions too, mainly taking out Ingram with 3 mins left for KCP and Bron resting the last 3 mins of the 1st half...odd time to rest him.

    Back at it tomorrow, it's gonna be a fun season to watch them for sure.

    As good as that game was watching Bron Bron, Harden and baby CP3 go back and forth the entire game crying for a foul after after single shot was pretty cringy.
