OFFICIAL 2017-2018 LOS ANGELES LAKERS THREAD

[toheeb27]

Last night's game was one of the best i have seen from Brandon Ingram. He was amazing on both ends of the floor. Glad he is improving steadily this season. Sky is the limit.

He was pressing in preseason and to start the regular season. He's more in the flow and just doing what he does. Good to see.

Lonzo's vision continues to amaze me.

My only issue for now is we don’t have an identity... We got like 5 players all avg 14 ppg. Not mad at that per se but who is going to be “the guy” for this team?

Man, with our bigs situation, i hope not. In the last 3-4 games, Randle has mainly played as the back up center. Nance and Kuzma split up the mins at PF. Bogut barely gets any playing time and Zubac is already buried on the bench and i think he is better than Okafor. Doubt we have enough playing time to give him.

Lakers' Larry Nance suffers fractured hand, out indefinitely

The Lakers might have lost their starting power forward for some time after Larry Nance Jr. suffered a broken hand in the third quarter against the Trail Blazers.

Nance underwent X-rays that revealed a fractured second metacarpal in his left hand. He left the game for good with 3:45 remaining in the third quarter. Nance might've injured the hand going for a block.

Nance has started all eight games this season for the Lakers and he left with seven points, five rebounds and one block. The power forward went into Thursday night averaging 11.1 points and 7.9 rebounds. He won the starting power forward spot in camp when coach Luke Walton decided to bring Julius Randle off the bench for a spark and his fit with the second unit.

The Lakers play the Brooklyn Nets on Friday when D'Angelo Russell makes his return. Walton will have to find a new starting forward and could turn to Kyle Kuzma, Randle, Corey Brewer or Luol Deng.

Kuzma will probably get it.

 

[joeyfkncrakk]

Russell bout to get hot tonite... I'm still kinda upset we got rid of him...

 

[northside7]

Kuzma with 21 pts on 8-11 shooting and 13 rebounds. Not bad at all.

If he averages 20+ and 10+, he'll solidify the starting role.

LMAO, if he does that, he is a fucking All Star. Only 4 players in the NBA averaged over 20 pts and 10 rebs last season.
