flash poll – when will the lakers get their first win?

i chose tomorrow night at minny, im an eternal optimist

i'll be pleased with an 0-for-october

its not a bad guess, minny is already having player only meetings and kat is telling his teammates to lay off the popeyes.

voted 0-82, anyone who does otherwise is a coward

think they can beat the pels or the jazz, it'll be one of those 3 games

0-82 is in play with effort like this:

NEW VIDEO

How an embarrassing effort in transition from AD and a sloppy night from LeBron killed the Lakers, and how Jokic exposed the laziness of his superstar peers just by sprinting.

The Nuggets outscored the Lakers 35-18 in fast break points, and won by 11.

ad repeatedly pointing instead of running its just as good really

props to jokic for reading the scouting report and doing flat out head down sprints to get mismatches

the one where jokic overtook ad with the ball was just sad lol thats one of the slowest players in the league and hes dribbling

jokic was 12-for-13 from two iirc

looks like hes going about 65% speed out there

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

voted pels - they have to get a win sometime, and it might be then. could easily start 0-10 tho

if minny weren't their own breed of mess i think it could be awhile but had to sadly vote wolves.

I considered the Wolves, but opted not to. It would sound too much as if I wanted them to win.

none of minn/denver/nola is on a back to back for those teams. they will really have to beat the jazz next friday.

minny wins book it

The Lakers have announced that Russell Westbrook (hamstring) has been upgraded to probable and will be playing tonight vs. the Timberwolves. pic.twitter.com/1cLAXwkcsu

this trains running express to sacto baby

Westbrook's status could be impacted by Anthony Davis' game-time decision on his back. If Davis is out, that could keep Westbrook in the starting lineup, sources said. https://t.co/O4sxRngIoA

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

why did everyone vote new orleans, theyre a good team

Don't look at me. I voted Utah.

I did mostly bc the Pels have had their main guys out w injuries lately.

Also three more games feels about right for Bron willing them out of the streak

ok fair utah is right there tho

The Lakers will beat the Pels in a nail biter and then get blown out by the jazz

noted lol

i voted sacramento because the arc of the universe bends towards justice

do wonder if bron is still capable of willing a win, guess we will see

curious what the preseason over/under was on lakers total wins ah i see it was 45.5 i will take the under sir

I chose sac w you goon

lets do this

0-82 still in play

Need a little more outta the reigning b2b MVP here...

ITS HAPPENING

Lol, teaches me to plan my night around schadenfreude

a shame

the denver nuggets did not do their job

perhaps the denver nuggets will not win the NBA playoffs this year

god dammit

what can ya say Russ played well tonight

No one voted nuggets RIP

wasnt really sure if it was really over but magic has confirmed it

The @Lakers got their first win of the season last night! LeBron finished with 26 points and 8 rebounds, and AD had a double-double 23 points and 15 rebounds.

it's so funny i feel like every year ilh is like yeah this team is going to be ass and then the media spends the rest of the season doing stories like "are the lakers ass?" "at the midpoint of the season, it's time to admit the lakers are ass"

i still wonder if they can stomach riding this season out and giving a top 5 pick to new orleans

what are their options?

making a deal to push to make the play in and "saving face" by only giving new orleans like the 8th pick instead of the 3rd

they should trade brow while he has the illusion of being a top tier player

i agree w/ that. i think the issue is that if they trade davis for draft capital lebron almost certainly leaves and then they're in a full rebuild again but they still owe multiple firsts to the pelicans. maybe AD gets them back two firsts? and prob ones w/ protections on them. so they end up in this no man's land of being fully torn down w/o the draft capital you should have when doing that. but i don't think doubling down on AD as the centerpiece of your franchise is exactly a great idea either. not a great situation

yeah they are pretty much stuck unless they really shake it up which i dont think they are willing to do cos of ~optics~

they are going to be bad for a long time yeah. they went 'all-in' on what has turned out to be a bottom 5 team. cant think of any precedent for this honestly

AD is 29, should theoretically be in his prime and have a few more good years left. wonder if we'll ever see that guy again, sure doesn't look like it

hes looks very done, just not moving well and that was pretty much his whole thing a giant guy moving around like a wing out there, and then he cant shoot and misses half of his games

but his counting stats look ok and i see people raving about his defense still (not seeing it personally) which is why they need to ship him out asap. before people get hip to whats really going on

lebron russ and ad all being cooked is why they are bad a better bench would help but these dudes are just not top tier guys any more and the chance of getting them all to play B+ ball or better on the same night is near impossible.

someone should study lakers fans brains

🚨 OK LAKER FAM PROTEST WILL TAKE PLACE AT 5:00PM AND LAST TIL AFTER THE LAKERS LOSE THE GAME FRIDAY! THE ORGANIZATION IS AWARE OF THE PROTEST, SO THE RUMORS STARTED CIRCULATING REGARDING TRADES! WE ARE BEING HEARD! LETS MAKE SURE IT STICKS! LFG 🔥

— !!!!! WE STACK CHIPS !!!!! (@LAKERSRISE) November 11, 2022

lakers fans and knicks fans should square off

it's a testament to his career the expectations that ppl still have for lebron at nearly 38 years old

those fans lining up for the january sixth man of the year award

ah yes good choice

"The sense I got after spending the past week in L.A. is that their preference is to wait for the returns of Dennis Schröder and Thomas Bryant before making judgments that could lead to changes."@TheSteinLine on the Lakers making some moves soon

yes

The Los Angeles Lakers have been dealing with a variety of injuries all season, but at this point, the only two players that have been missing the whole time are Kendrick Nunn and Trevor Ariza. And according to Frank Vogel, those absences have been enough to keep this team from seeing what they can truly be.

“Not having Trevor and Kendrick has not enabled us to see the way we’re really going to look like when those guys are available,” Vogel said at the Lakers’ shootaround, hours before their triple overtime collapse against the Sacramento Kings on Friday night.

they should wait until they get their famous good players dennis and thomas back

lol xp exactly how i remembered it

Found the weak link

The Lakers are 3-0 over their last 3 games without LeBron. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/QZQdjhMQXb

sad lebron james kid voice: lebron james :(

*lagoon viice* trade lebron

#tradelebron

that is legitimately surprising, every Lakers game I've watched he looked like the only decent one out there

2 of those wins are against the pistons and the spurs fwiw, but a win is a win
