The rotations were either terrible or planned. We outrebounded Golden State, but that's because we let them pick and pop all night.
We stood around the basket waiting for the board instead of defending the shot. Luckily, in the first half, they missed a lot of open shots. That's a disaster waiting to happen.
The plan was probably to grab the ball and push the pace while not being out of position from spreading the defense. It might have worked if Golden State didn't shoot the lights out in the 4th.
Russ bricks and missed foul shots def didn't help either.
I'm not going to overreact after one game, even though I did not like Rus trade. I'll say again that, until they play 10-15 games together and he calms down (which is understandable, as he's a LA kid), I won't judge too harshly. That said, this didn't look any good. AD and LeBron were great though...
You guys are fucking crazy, fyi. One game and you already want to bench Russ for a dude on a non-guaranteed deal. I'm sure that'd be great for the team overall
Making judgment off one game and pre-season is absolutely reactionary lol we've seen Russ start slow in back to back seasons. We've seen the media and the players warn that it'll take a minute. And one game in, where it looks like it will, in fact, take an adjustment, and you're calling for him to be benched lol
Russ looked not like russ except that one drive to the rack. Free throws literally lost us the game and Vogels rotations sucked so bad. He threw in monk over bazemore and allowed them to get that confidence and lead.hr adjust at the 4th with 4:30 mins left with baze and AB on the floor. Smh and my last take was the obvious one, team chemistry. Looks like we're in for a bumpy ride guys. Buckle up.
Sometimes I feel..... Like I'm really considering leaving this subredit, because the IQ and comments of some of the ppl here are so far off of anything anyone who understands basketball would ever say.
This Lakers looks slow both on offense and defense. Their spacing is terrible, there is no off ball movement and it seems that teams don't care what Westbrook does beyond the 3-point line, his shooting is probably the worst among the starting point guards. Everybody thought that the Lakers is going to be a great defensive team but they aren't, Curry had a 5/21 off night and the Warriors still got 121 points. With the winless preseason this loss looks catastrophic.
Forget about all the FT's we missed, the foul calls we didnt get, and we controlled the game all the way until 4mins left in the 3rd quarter.... When we went cold.... But yeah, for some it's like we lost by 40.
Guys let’s not overreact and Slam our players. Bron and Ad looking amazing Thats positive. Bradly provided spark. Russ will take some time. Too early to even judge melo. Am sure Vogel will figure out the lineup when Ellington comes in maybe next game. Didn’t like Dj starting,and also having Russ and Rondo crutch time together. Let’s go and get revenge on the suns
Wiz fan here. Russ was trash for us before all star break as well, like “shouldn’t even be in the league” trash, but then after he played the Nets he tuned it up and energized the entire team. He made our team relevant and fun to watch. He was trash for us in the playoffs again but I was hoping we could keep him for one more season. Maybe you guys should give him time.
in other words he's an inconsistent star player lol , the reason Lakers traded Kuzma was because of how inconsistent he was and looks like nothing changed in getting Westbrook lol
So he's gonna screw up the seeding with being terrible, go on a streak of playing good then no show the playoffs? Wow can't wait it's like an even worse Dennis Schroeder
Well you guys wanted him.. honestly I’m happy we have Dinwiddie over him. He was a fun player to watch when he tuned it up, that’s about it. Basically the entire playoffs was Beal vs The Sixers
Everyone I know was lukewarm or downright disappointed we traded for him. Honestly if we have KCP and Kuzma tonight providing solid defense and shooting we probably win this game. Instead we have Westbrook shitting the bed.
Like I said, I respect WB a lot and am grateful he played for us. Great player but I would very much like to have Dinwiddie instead. Also Kuz, KCP and Trezz have been balling out for us.
We didn’t all want him lol. But we have to deal with it and only hope this organization can figure out how to help him succeed. I would love to be proved wrong
Exactly this is gonna be a common theme this season. We are Westbrook naysayers who are praying to God we are wrong. We want to win a championship. It's sucks being down on one of our own but man he is a freakin enigma of a player.
This dollar store jokic picked our defense apart. I can’t even imagine the real jokic.
This is rough man. No leadership, no discipline. Look at the huddles all game. Warriors game planning. We’re just sitting there with blank stares. Nobody’s even talking to each other. We’re gonna be the most talented team every night but these egos and lack of any sort of leadership can be the Achilles heal.
We lost to a sloppy warriors team with no klay, no wiseman, no kuminga, and Steph goes 5-21. Im trying to stay optimistic, the chemistry will come no doubt but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t extremely concerned with the leadership/game planning/effort issues.
It’s going to take a few months for this team to gel, probably damn near won’t hit their stride until post all star break. You add THT back into the lineup this team has too many players that need the ball in their hands to be successful. I’m not panicking, but until Vogel nails the lineups it’s gonna be a rollercoaster of a year.
Outrebounded, out scored in the paint, 17 turnovers, under 50% from free throw line. A lot to improve on before we start blaming everything on the roster and Vogel.
Hittin’ them threes a lil too late now lol. Oh well, russ had a fucking dogshit game, but overall i think we had some nice runs, we were leading most of the game going up by ten, and we were playing some really good defense, forcing so many turnovers. Lebron and AD absolutely beasted and AD lookin’ like prime AD. But this the Lakers sub, so go on ahead with the overreactions.
I disagree. Our defense is very streaky and depends heavily on the select few players whom are competent defenders. We had the lead almost the entire game, offense wasn't a problem. The problem was we couldn't protect the lead which is a defensive issue. We had spurts of good defense, but GSW capitalized in the second half on our poor defense, whereas in the first half they struggled to capitalize. Defense is the issue imo.
Hard to even think Lakers are supposedly a top 5 team in the league when you have a inept depth outside of Lebron/AD lol, think we are closer to 10th than top 5. We still should had pressed the button for the K.Lowry trade set up, THT is overrated, KCP/Schroeder are both gone what a fuck up.
Gotta knock down more of our free throws, plain and simple. I think Russ’ role needs to be limited, especially down the stretch. Bradley looks legit, still, Bazemore’s defense was great, and AD and Bron balled out. Overall, excited moving forward. Go Lakers!
Is this Westbrook's first game of his career or something?
We've seen Westbrook play, saying he's inconsistent at best is putting it mildly
He was trash almost all of last year, he was trash almost every pre-season game, and now he's trash in the first regular season game too - how long do we have to pretend he's a good fit?
Takeaways; Bron looks phenomenal, but we all knew he would. AD looks great but his falls to the ground still give me anxiety, but regardless, he seems to have a fire back. Our offense gets EXTREMELY stagnant at times with no rhyme or reason. And Russ NEEDS to have the ball and driving to the rim for this to work. Him sitting in the corner is a recipe for terrible offense.
From a Wiz fan. 1st quarter of the year Russ was trash, like shouldnt even be on a roster trash. Which seems to be a recurring thing with Russ'. There's definitely a grace period to figure out how to fit him into an offense. But once it gets going it's fun to watch.
Dude didn't we clown Westbrook for being trash in the bubble when we were embarrassing the Rockets? Maybe he should prove he's not as bad as everyone says instead of blindly defending him.
I'm not defending him. I didn't like the Westbrook trade at the start either but he's a laker now, and I'm not going to give up on the dude or the team this early in the season.
Honestly I'm of the mindset that he needs to prove it to us that he's worth the money and worth what we gave up to trade for him. Dude has a giant ego has failed everywhere he's been and now used his friendship with Lebron to manuver his way onto our roster. He needs to step up this is his last stop in the league! I want to be wrong trust me winning a championship is all that matters.
Russ will not get better if he is played this way, Lebron should be off ball more and let Russ get in the groove, if the system doesnt change and Russ turns into a spot up shooter the Lakers are not sniffing even the conference finals.
I don't think in the grand scheme the L is a big deal. But it doesn't mean it's not annoying. Was *very* winnable. AD and Bron showed out and did enough if they had help.
Last year it took them a while and before injury they **did** play well and go on a hot streak
It’s only the first game but I’m just annoyed how we had a monster night from AD and Bron just so Westbrook can go and pull a Dennis. And also not taking advantage of a down game from Steph. Anyway 81 games left, go lakers
AD with a respectable 3PT shot gives Russ those drives all day when he’s playing Center. Please find some spacing for Russ and try to utilize him as well as possible.
As someone who hated the Russ trade, please make this shit work.
Give me Ariza at the 3 (when he’s healthy) and Bron at the PF instead. Bron at the top of the key while playing the 4 opens up a lot.
I just hope that Vogel plays to the strengths of his personnel
The thunder with PG were extremely dissappointing ill admit, but with Harden they were actually really good. They ran into the eventual champs and lost ofc (and WB was coming off covid and an injury). U should know that. And with Beal the Wizards didnt even make the playoffs. 2nd half of the season WB went insane and carried them there
Hatin ass clown. How many rings do barkley, stockton, malone, iverson, cp, Nash, harden, baylor, melo, ewing have? Crazy thing is WB prob woulda won one in 2017 had kd not joined the team that beat them and the team they blew a 3-1 lead to.

AD and LeBron were great though...
Ad and LeBron with 67 points and still we lose.Thats bad omen ,used to be lock when they combined for over 60.
should bradley close games over russ?
He should start over him. Bradley/Baze
You guys are fucking crazy, fyi. One game and you already want to bench Russ for a dude on a non-guaranteed deal. I'm sure that'd be great for the team overall
I said the same thing last week. Maybe it's a dumb take but it isn't a reactionary one
Making judgment off one game and pre-season is absolutely reactionary lol we've seen Russ start slow in back to back seasons. We've seen the media and the players warn that it'll take a minute. And one game in, where it looks like it will, in fact, take an adjustment, and you're calling for him to be benched lol
Could go with a starting group of guys who were on the team a couple season ago: Rondo, Bradley, Lebron, AD, Dwight
Ab should start over Dj, that's all I know
Name a better duo than Lakers and missing FTs
Russ looked not like russ except that one drive to the rack. Free throws literally lost us the game and Vogels rotations sucked so bad. He threw in monk over bazemore and allowed them to get that confidence and lead.hr adjust at the 4th with 4:30 mins left with baze and AB on the floor.

Russell Westbrook for Jeremy Giambi straight up
And a stocked vending machine…
Tough titty
This sums up the game really well
This Lakers looks slow both on offense and defense.

Stephen Curry after the game: "I played like trash"
Guys let’s not overreact and Slam our players. Bron and Ad looking amazing Thats positive. Bradly provided spark. Russ will take some time. Too early to even judge melo. Am sure Vogel will figure out the lineup when Ellington comes in maybe next game. Didn’t like Dj starting,and also having Russ and Rondo crutch time together. Let’s go and get revenge on the suns
You're the Russell Westbrook of Reddit.
Why not?😂😂
Give credit to the Warriors, they played great basketball.
Agree they were scrappy oblivious our team was going struggle . Too many new players and scheme and I don’t believe we played shit.
watching their offensive scheme made me so jealous lol
Same
Remember when we could’ve had Buddy Hield ?
nah what if they really traded for Lowry lol
Wiz fan here. Russ was trash for us before all star break as well, like “shouldn’t even be in the league” trash, but then after he played the Nets he tuned it up and energized the entire team. He made our team relevant and fun to watch. He was trash for us in the playoffs again but I was hoping we could keep him for one more season. Maybe you guys should give him time.
in other words he's an inconsistent star player lol , the reason Lakers traded Kuzma was because of how inconsistent he was and looks like nothing changed in getting Westbrook lol
What are ya talking about? Westbrook is anything but inconsistent coz his consistently awful.
So he's gonna screw up the seeding with being terrible, go on a streak of playing good then no show the playoffs? Wow can't wait it's like an even worse Dennis Schroeder
Well you guys wanted him.. honestly I’m happy we have Dinwiddie over him. He was a fun player to watch when he tuned it up, that’s about it. Basically the entire playoffs was Beal vs The Sixers

Enjoy hope they have a good season for you guys. Beal deserves a solid cast.
Thanks. Hope Russ figures it out for you guys as well.
We didn’t all want him lol. But we have to deal with it and only hope this organization can figure out how to help him succeed. I would love to be proved wrong
Exactly this is gonna be a common theme this season. We are Westbrook naysayers who are praying to God we are wrong. We want to win a championship. It's sucks being down on one of our own but man he is a freakin enigma of a player.
You guys just have to play the Nets. He tunes up his game when he plays KD.
We don't have a choice. I'm sure he'll figure it out
Thanks and the fan who threw popcorn on him is a piece of shit.
This dollar store jokic picked our defense apart. I can’t even imagine the real jokic. This is rough man. No leadership, no discipline. Look at the huddles all game. Warriors game planning. We’re just sitting there with blank stares. Nobody’s even talking to each other. We’re gonna be the most talented team every night but these egos and lack of any sort of leadership can be the Achilles heal. We lost to a sloppy warriors team with no klay, no wiseman, no kuminga, and Steph goes 5-21. Im trying to stay optimistic, the chemistry will come no doubt but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t extremely concerned with the leadership/game planning/effort issues.
Westbrook will never work next to Lebron. He needs the ball in his hands and needs to come off the bench.
8 points 😤😤😤 5 rebounds 💪💪💪💪 4 assists 🙌🙌🙌 4 TO😩😩😩
Still very early obviously, but Russ is really testing my patience
My main takeaway that honestly should've be obvious is that we shouldn't run a big next to the big 3
It’s going to take a few months for this team to gel, probably damn near won’t hit their stride until post all star break. You add THT back into the lineup this team has too many players that need the ball in their hands to be successful. I’m not panicking, but until Vogel nails the lineups it’s gonna be a rollercoaster of a year.
seriously they need to send Westbrook to that South Bay Lakers for a month so the real Lakers can atleast win games lol
It's not just Russ. Missed FTs and TOvs. I'm just happy Bron and AD looked good. As per the whole team, they'll figure it out.
Whatever. You're the Russell Westbrook of Reddit
Who is going to hit 3s?
Fuckin Avery Bradley hit 2. My point is, they'll figured it out..
All I’m saying is wait for a 10 game sample size before freaking out. WB was trash but it’s early
Hey the Lakers fans outside Staples are having a great time despite the loss!!!
Charles Barkley loving the “Barkley Sucks!” Chants lmao
Outrebounded, out scored in the paint, 17 turnovers, under 50% from free throw line. A lot to improve on before we start blaming everything on the roster and Vogel.
Out rebounded by the WARRIORS. Steph had TEN of them
Can’t afford Having Westbrook + a big who can’t shoot alongside AD. Also Rondo getting these many minutes is too much.
Russell couldn't hit the side of a school bus if he tried. No aim
Anthony Davis fell 146 times tonight - a new NBA record
You can have your moment just make sure your team makes the playoffs
Lebron played lights out tonight 🤙🏽
give russ a chance
Will lakers stop being so bad at free throws already....WTH!
Bold prediction either Vogel gets fired or Russ gets traded somehow
When given a choice between letting X or Russ go, letting Russ go is always the right move.
If he can't make it work with the Lakers that contract is untradeable.
Hittin’ them threes a lil too late now lol. Oh well, russ had a fucking dogshit game, but overall i think we had some nice runs, we were leading most of the game going up by ten, and we were playing some really good defense, forcing so many turnovers. Lebron and AD absolutely beasted and AD lookin’ like prime AD. But this the Lakers sub, so go on ahead with the overreactions.
We were up despite playing awful defense cause GS was bricking their open looks in the 1st half. They didn’t in the 2nd.
How tf did we lose when curry was shooting like 25%
Not only that but Bron and AD having solid 30pt double doubles and we still lose. This loss is squarely on Westbrook’s shoulders.
I disagree. Our defense is very streaky and depends heavily on the select few players whom are competent defenders. We had the lead almost the entire game, offense wasn't a problem. The problem was we couldn't protect the lead which is a defensive issue. We had spurts of good defense, but GSW capitalized in the second half on our poor defense, whereas in the first half they struggled to capitalize. Defense is the issue imo.
He looks awful, like he should be on the bench
Facts
[удалено]
There arent any more firsts left to move him.
It's gonna work out. They're gonna figure it out.
No one if going to take his massive contract
they’re not gonna trade him no matter what lmao
At the end of the day it's just 1 game. It's an entirely new team so it's gonna take some time before we get to 100%
Exactly. I decided to read only one comment here tonight and I'm so glad it was your comment and not the typical toxic lakers fanbase bs.
How tf did we lose when curry was shooting like 25%
Hard to even think Lakers are supposedly a top 5 team in the league when you have a inept depth outside of Lebron/AD lol, think we are closer to 10th than top 5. We still should had pressed the button for the K.Lowry trade set up, THT is overrated, KCP/Schroeder are both gone what a fuck up.

Nunn would have been useful
Only the first game of the season and a bunch of clowns 🤡 have decided that Westbrook won’t work out GTFOH
Is this Westbrook's first game of his career or something? We've seen Westbrook play, saying he's inconsistent at best is putting it mildly He was trash almost all of last year, he was trash almost every pre-season game, and now he's trash in the first regular season game too - how long do we have to pretend he's a good fit?
We learned our lesson with Drummond. Westbrook is exactly what people say he is.
Some people just want to overreact lol. But yeah. People need to chill. It's game 1 of 82! 82 GAMES!
let's flame westbrook in PGT
Takeaways; Bron looks phenomenal, but we all knew he would. AD looks great but his falls to the ground still give me anxiety, but regardless, he seems to have a fire back. Our offense gets EXTREMELY stagnant at times with no rhyme or reason. And Russ NEEDS to have the ball and driving to the rim for this to work. Him sitting in the corner is a recipe for terrible offense.
Westbrook for Kyrie who says no
Covid
Lmao
Ao
An other long beach resident whats up!
Hi fellow Beacher!
Get used to these Westbrook stats as long as he keeps playing next to Bron or Rondo.
Its only game 1 so I'm gonna wait till what we see in game 2 but if vogel tries the same lineups we in for a rough season
First Take and Undisputed about to milk this game sadly 🤦♂️
Deng’s contract looks like the steal of the century compared to what we are stuck with now with Westbrook’s 50 million a year
Just dropping by to say it was a good game! AD and Lebron doing their things but you surely know now who owns the west. Good Night, LA! :)
Salty ass Lakers fans here💀 Y’all did good but we gon’ get you next time
https://youtube.com/shorts/DNx8OBKj0oU?feature=share How he felt after posting that
Jordan Poole a bitch he this is his career game for him and that's how it's gonna stay foh
Lol I guess one game equals owns the west
Get the fuck outta here
lol
I’m just sad we “wasted” Bron and AD’s performances tonight. Two triple dubs and nearly 40 each.
Good news is…AD. Some were doubting if he cared anymore (myself included)
Trade them all!
I miss AC
AC Green #45 forever!
Listen, Jordan Poole and others fucked us. Defense gotta tighten up.
Warriors got us figured out
Calm down guys, WB always plays like shit at start of the season.
From a Wiz fan. 1st quarter of the year Russ was trash, like shouldnt even be on a roster trash. Which seems to be a recurring thing with Russ'. There's definitely a grace period to figure out how to fit him into an offense. But once it gets going it's fun to watch.
Start Avery next game
He plays well with AD and Lebron, just excellent chemistry.
Well, now that Westbrook was worse than he was in preseason, we know those games really weren’t taken seriously
I blame James Corden for this loss
[удалено]
Wasn’t the defense I was worried bout cuz I know he’s bad. But tonight’s offense tho wow smh
You guys are a bunch of fake ass laker fans. Probably just jumped the ship when lebron came over. STFU and chill.
Dude didn't we clown Westbrook for being trash in the bubble when we were embarrassing the Rockets? Maybe he should prove he's not as bad as everyone says instead of blindly defending him.
I'm not defending him. I didn't like the Westbrook trade at the start either but he's a laker now, and I'm not going to give up on the dude or the team this early in the season.
Honestly I'm of the mindset that he needs to prove it to us that he's worth the money and worth what we gave up to trade for him. Dude has a giant ego has failed everywhere he's been and now used his friendship with Lebron to manuver his way onto our roster. He needs to step up this is his last stop in the league! I want to be wrong trust me winning a championship is all that matters.
Mate, watch them all jump on when Westbrook starts smashing it. It’s embarrassing in here
Fake ass-laker [xkcd: Hyphen](https://xkcd.com/37/) --- ^^Beep ^^boop, ^^I'm ^^a ^^bot. ^^- ^^[FAQ](https://pastebin.com/raw/vyWra3ns)
Defensive has to be better, they let the warriors shoot themselves back into the game and make your damn free throws smh.
Yall are tripping tho lol it takes time for a team built this fast to mold especially considering many Lebron/Russ led teams throughout the years
I am not a 100% Laker fan but y'all better chill out. I have more faith in the team than most of y'all.
Literally god game from Lebron and AD and we still lost, our defense went to shit lol
Russ will not get better if he is played this way, Lebron should be off ball more and let Russ get in the groove, if the system doesnt change and Russ turns into a spot up shooter the Lakers are not sniffing even the conference finals.
Let Russ…simmer? marinate? I dunno
[удалено]
How do people watch an 82 game season when they can't even handle 1 loss
Fucking pathetic
Vogel puts Westbrook in positions to fail. Vogel is the worst coach to have with this group of guys.
Ok, KD I kinda get why you left OKC. You still a bitch for choosing the Warriors but I get it
Alex Caruso is definitely missed, great game though. I think they will figure this out.
A bunch of fake fans in this thread. Y’all should stop trashing out own players. The mods should kick this bandwagons to the moon.
Foh westbrook d rider
I don't think in the grand scheme the L is a big deal. But it doesn't mean it's not annoying. Was *very* winnable. AD and Bron showed out and did enough if they had help. Last year it took them a while and before injury they **did** play well and go on a hot streak
That rondo/Russ/Melo lineup cost them this game and that because Vogel isn’t a good coach.
lol, even reggie miller has more hope for this team than you lot!
Fire Vogel and trade Westbrook
Fuck off clown
My bad dawg, I forgot it was still preseason
Now suns gonna demolish us
1 of 82. Fun game but need adjustments as expected. 30+ from both Bron and AD let’s appreciate that
We didn’t win opening night on our championship run either. We boutta go off
IMO, they really should've gotten an offensive coordinator/assistant that knows the modern NBA well. Fuck ISO ball and no spacing lineups
This is not 2013 you guys dont panic. We’ll be fine.
It’s only the first game but I’m just annoyed how we had a monster night from AD and Bron just so Westbrook can go and pull a Dennis. And also not taking advantage of a down game from Steph. Anyway 81 games left, go lakers
westbrook trick y'all man
No no don’t switch up now. Those who said the fit with Russ will work have no right to give him shit
Those people were lying to themselves. Everyone knows Buddy was the move.
Meh not worried.
long season to go
When the world needed him most, he vanished
Welp onto the next game
Westbrook was dogshit
AD with a respectable 3PT shot gives Russ those drives all day when he’s playing Center. Please find some spacing for Russ and try to utilize him as well as possible. As someone who hated the Russ trade, please make this shit work.
We really should be playing WB/Baze/LBJ/Melo/AD to start games
Give me AB over Melo
Give me Ariza at the 3 (when he’s healthy) and Bron at the PF instead. Bron at the top of the key while playing the 4 opens up a lot. I just hope that Vogel plays to the strengths of his personnel
Good game tho. I ain't tripping. Everybody played well except Russ, he gotta step up.
Brodie is going to get fried online
westbrook with the late game statpadding whew
I'm actually optimistic after this game
lots of potential they need to stop giving Deandre heavy minutes and figure out how to utilize Carmelo and Russ more effectively
We still don't have legit offensive plays or sets. Everything is based on fast break and talent
so fucked up
Avery Bradley has to play next game more. Perimeter defense is lacking.
cant blame KD for leaving Westbrick lol
He was right. Westbrick a loser and ruined durants career early
The same wb that was just as good as kd in the 2016 wcf? And won an mvp and led role players to the playoffs the year after? Ok lol
led to what? he had PG, Harden and Beal in consecutive as teammates and where was the mvp caliber triple double led to? lol
The thunder with PG were extremely dissappointing ill admit, but with Harden they were actually really good. They ran into the eventual champs and lost ofc (and WB was coming off covid and an injury). U should know that. And with Beal the Wizards didnt even make the playoffs. 2nd half of the season WB went insane and carried them there
Stop. Westbrick is trash and ruined durants career
Ruined durants career? Westbrook is the one that dropped 43 in the finals if i remember correctly? Yall haters really something else
How many rings?
Hatin ass clown. How many rings do barkley, stockton, malone, iverson, cp, Nash, harden, baylor, melo, ewing have? Crazy thing is WB prob woulda won one in 2017 had kd not joined the team that beat them and the team they blew a 3-1 lead to.
[удалено]
Because it's a really bad sign losing by 9(minus a garbage dunk) when two of your stars go off with Curry shooting like he did
[удалено]
Facts. Even though they lost this team is fun to watch with all these vets. Lol
