Suns game:
AD started slow and I was already ticked at him by halftime. Second half he woke up and showed up big time. Just give me that second half AD more often and I'll be a happy man.
LeBron's outside shot is still cold, but it was good to see him take over the playmaking and take over the game when it mattered most.
Christian Wood = wow, I was shocked watching him turn the game with his boards and D. He just earned more minutes.
AR needs to let his summer experience go and get his head fully in this new season. I'm confident he will be ok.
Gabe impressed me with his hustle play and infuriated me with his chucking from 3.
Didn't really see a game thread where we can discuss the game outside of the game time chat so I figured I would create one. If someone is capable of stickying this thread so it can stay on the top and not be scattered around, please feel free to do so.
Alright, as usual we have nba.com power ratings here. It's quite fun to follow these ratings over the course of the season, and it seems this year we start higher than usual. Most nba journalists like the team, so here we go (#1-#4 are DEN, MIL, BOS & PHX):
With an impressive re-shuffling of the roster at the trade deadline last season, the Lakers went from 13th place to the Western Conference finals. With the new group together for a full season, they shouldn’t have to dig out of such a big hole.
I tried going to Lakers.com and downloading the calendar file, but this year it seems there's a bunch of games missing... does anyone know a good, alternate download? Thanks!
