Offensive rebounding impacts ORTG, and FGA impacts PPG.

Low sample size but that is legitimately insane for a roster that was just overhauled.

I see it’s on Hulu..or Prime? or some spectrum channel? Is it blacked out on regular broadcast TV like the Dodgers are? (I have YouTube TV). Want to enjoy some games in this post-LeBron era.

A lot of casual fans and some analyst focus to much on 3pt %, Luka Doncic is a volume 3pt scorer with the highest shot difficulty. By all metrics he is one of the best 3pt shooters in the league on insane volume. Then he's also the best in the paint and from mid range. Also ranked #1 in playmaking last year in nearly all analytical models.

SGA, Jokic are not volume 3pt scorers jokic and sga are low volume 3pt scorers. This is why Luka can always generate a bucket, he can always create a good quality look no matter what. Also the gravity he has is second to none because of that. If offence stalls and paint is packed jokic and sga can't just do a step back 3 or pull up 3 like Luka can.

The Lakers might have three of the biggest steals of the summer 🤫

Matisse Thybulle and Ziaire Williams are BOTH on minimum deals, but the value they’re bringing to this team are WAY bigger than their contracts suggest. 💯 Plus Cam Carr at the draft position we stole him, our front office was cooking.

Thybulle and Williams both made plays on both ends of the floor and will be HUGE keys to our success this season 🙏

To all the haters’ rhetoric:

“Lakers won’t win more than 30 games this season”. We’re 10% there already.

“Lakers have only beat trash teams”
Proves we’re not one of them.

There’s always some simple brained rebuttal but let our record, our leader Luka, and our coaching, and play making speak for itself. Top 3 seed this year with an essentially new team where AR is our most tenured player. LFG! So excited to continue watching and supporting our Purple and Gold!

Continue being realistic: we need to get rid of Looney Tunes and find at minimum a decent backup big. There’s just no one on the market worth pursuing at the moment that I see but if we can solve that, we are true contenders this season and the next few seasons.

Lakers basketball is back! Talk about whatever you want.

The 76ers and Lakers, league sources say, both registered two-way contract interest in Pete Nance after Milwaukee released the 26-year-old last weekend.

But the Bucks, as The Stein Line reported last Sunday, believed they could get Nance to stay in Brewtown on a two-way with them and were proven correct. Nance is still a Buck.
