So look last night’s game showed us many things. The biggest one of all is apparently you can lead the way and still have time to cut your toenails while on the bench!? Just playing AD, you know we love you. It's safe to say as Lakers fans we are ready for this new season and there is no doubt that a two-peat is on the cards.
The standout from the preseason has to be the THT man himself. I mean the kid has got to get some serious minutes this season. When I say "Sixth Man" you all say "of the year". I can honestly see that in his future. I just pray we as a franchise look after this young talent because the future's bright, the future's Horton-Tucker.
All the new additions have shown us they have come to win. Could a new era be on the cards? Can we go for a historic three-peat with this team? I think its definitely possible, though some people will say, "well we did it for Kobe so it's done now". Well in the words of King James the attitude will still be "jobs not done”. The greatest to ever play (Kobe) wouldn’t stop for one and all Laker fans, in fact basketball fans know Kobe championships were back to back in either a three or a two-peat. With that in mind I think it still means more to us as a team and as the Laker family.
So flipping the script, I never thought I would say this, but what about Kuzma? Would he be missed? Honestly he will definitely have to fight for minutes so I'm going to say no (Tim’s jaw just dropped). I will never hate on Kuz, I just think with all that has gone on with his extension talk and what he wants and what the team wants from him are on slightly different wave lengths. I think most Lakers fan would be happy to see him stay but then again if he goes, he goes (Ivan Drago voice).
Finally, the teams we should be worried about this season from the West are the Nuggets, Memphis and the Suns (what no Clippers?). The Nuggets had a solid year last year and the team remains strong, Memphis leader Ja Morant could do a D-Rose Bulls and make it to the playoffs easily and the Suns look good with the addition of Chris Paul to stand at the backcourt with the silent assassin Booker.
I think the East speaks for itself. The Heat and yeah, I'm just going to say it, Brooklyn. Durant and Uncle Drew can storm the East, but then you got the Greek Freak hungry for a final after falling short.
All this being said it will be interesting to see who meets us in the Finals this season...and yes I did just say "us", you read that right. DAN STOCKER.
