Lakers really let Rui walk while keeping Jake Laravia

u/JtReso Lakers 5h ago

Rui getting at least 10 fg attempts per game is enough for me to watch clippers games.

u/joaolouro1967 Lakers 6h ago

u/coltan3 4h ago

Looks like the Nuggets are in for a tough season then, cause they shot 40%.

Denver lose any of their starters to injury this yr and they are the BBQ. That bench is cheeks especially the front court depth

u/LoggraFloozy Lakers 3h ago

No for real nuggets bench is gonna be a big issue coming into this season, they’re gonna depend on some young guys or demar derozan stepping up

I'm expecting to see a more competitive couple of games tonight compared to that clinic the Heat put on last night.

I wonder if Markkanen will continue to play like crap now that the tanking is essentially over. And can Hardy actually coach a team trying to win?

u/PottedPiss Timberwolves 12h ago

Darryn Peterson hoops soon

u/k1ngkoala Lakers 14h ago

It was impossible for them to schedule one game earlier, they just had to put them on at the same time. Thanks NBA

u/PeregrineFaulkner Warriors 6h ago

Probably didn’t want to overlap with the WNBA playoffs.

u/Nails__DeChamp Magic 13h ago

Preseason schedules are so weird, there's only 4 games for each team but I feel like we always end up playing a random team 2x (last year I want to say we played the Pels twice, this year its the Cavs x2 for us - we also play the Grizz & Heat).

u/FrontContribution596 10h ago

Yea you see the preseason back to back? Lakers Kings Monday lakers warriors Tuesday haha. Like why?

u/SpiritFantastic4835 Lakers 15h ago

At the same time nba really?

u/fps129 Knicks 14h ago

Nah, they had to know people were mostly gonna be watching the showtime Clips. They really set that other game up for failure.

u/Nails__DeChamp Magic 12h ago

Nah, they had to know people were mostly gonna be watching the showtime Clips.

I mean if you want to go that route, they know people are mostly going to be watching the NFL today.
