they make runs like the warriors did in 2014-2019 s*** is actually scary atp

cant say im disappointed with Dlo, not even surprised by how he played

he'll play good against the sorry ass teams good enough for Ham to believe in him and keep him in the lineup

yeah because they're that good lol

not a team that you can give a big lead to and expect you'll come back and win.

5 straight Ls, its time to admit as lakers fans that we're just not as good as them. bad matchup, it is what it is. hopefully pelinka sees this and makes a move because we're definitely not beating them with this roster.

He gotta develop himself. You're only gonna get on the floor by playing Defense

He played the most minutes (36 minutes) this game out of any Laker too lol

Ham has alot of trust in him even when he's playing poorly.

meh. HAM IS A TRASH COACH

Ham a b****

Cam plays solid defense and he had a decent game today.

I didn't mind getting some minutes at SF

but the DLO and Vincent lineup doesnt make sense to me. Most of DLO's mins should be with Reaves. That's where we've had the most success.

It would've made more sense to play Christie at SG off the bench, especially with a big team like Denver and have Vincent handle the ball more. Ham also could've still played Cam at SF.

I don't think Christie's defense is the issue but I honestly don't know what Ham's thinking.

It's just the first game and Vando is coming back so we'll see what he does.

i think Christie deserves a chance but i think Cam played just fine

Darvin Ham on if LeBron James’ 29 minutes will be a trend this season: “We’ll see. In all likelihood, yes.”

Ham added that it could build from that number depending on how James feels and what the team’s training staff decides.

What it comes down to is contracts

Max hasn't significantly outplayed Gabe or Taurean and they're the ones getting paid. Ham isn't the only one in charge of rotations

We were just out of sorts defensively at times after paint penetration and movement

We were an AD defensive clinic and AR 25 point game away from a blowout but I could understand with AD's foul trouble and unfamiliarity with that long Bron absence

Gabe Vincent: "Denver was Denver. They played good basketball... A lot of stuff we need to work on, of course. It's game one, not gonna get too high or too low."

Gabe pointed to Denver's continuity as something the Lakers are striving for.

"Those things don't just happen overnight."

Ham has to dead this two big and dlo/vincent bullshit now

good Dlo games will be celebrated as increasing trade stock

classic AD punk game

traditional opening night loss

81-1 incoming

Cam looked good today. Just couldn’t get a stop down the stretch and AD not scoring in the 2nd half cant happen against a team like Denver if u expect to compete

No need for overreactions

Solid first game considering the star player for the Lakers got abused and went missing in the second half.

That exchange between D'Lo and Bron was beautiful

I'm ready to trade D'Lo

My dream is Caruso for D'Lo

had some active moments on D and was a decent energy guy, was pleasantly surprised with wood too at least compared to the pre szn we saw

if AD didn’t s*** the bed in the 2nd half it would have been a close game. We move

Having to see dlo play in a lakers uniform instead of Dennis

we need dlo in the high teens nightly and that s*** will never f***ing happen

Not really, AD gotta show up or Bron is gonna have to play more minutes

For the record I'd rather have a Tyus Jones than a Gabe
