    >Lakers’ historically bad offense

    The LakerFilmRoom podcast basically described whats happening. We are one of the 6 teams playing a 5 out offense. The other 5 teams are all top 10 in passes. We are 28th. And because LakerFilmRoom is a Laker employee he couldn’t say it in that podcast but its glaringly obvious that Darvin Ham has no idea what he’s doing and never has.

    Warriors have such an odd opening schedule. 7/9 games on the road so far and for their upcoming homestand they get the Cavs then 2×2 mini-series vs TWolves and Thunder.

    >NBA surprises

    Not sure how a notoriously great road team being good on the road is a “surprise”. Last year was an anomaly for the Warriors.

    We barely squeaked by 2 wins that could have gone either way without some luck. I think jury is still in the air about how successful we are on the road

    I just want us to be a .500 team we don’t even have to be a high seed, just wanna be decent and not playing catchup the whole season worrying about making the play in.

    How are you a historically bad offense when you’re starting Reaves, Dlo, Lebron and AD.

  7. ‘Historically bad’ lmao spicy way to put the first few games of a long season

  8. WARRIORS ARE 4TH BEST TEAM IN THE CALIFORNIA!!

    *Checks standings*

    Wait a min…

    Doesn’t matter who it is once they play with LeBron they can’t hit a 3 pointer

  10. _Indeed_I_Am_

    If you can’t hit a good % of 3s as a team for like a month straight, do you as a Coach reorient the offense to more stuff geared toward the basket and/or a change of pace?

    Or do you keep hammering away at the same strat waiting for things to regress to the mean because that’s the way the game is played in the modern NBA?

    Honest question. Can you even make such a big offensive adjustment midseason after working on sets and getting reps in during training camp and the preseason?

    The free throw differential isn’t insane so far

    How is the Lakers being bad a surprise to anybody.

    They did nothing to upgrade their roster, their two best players are aging stars, and pretty much everybody in the west got better.

    it’s not even a quarter of the season yet but long may this Warriors curiosity continue!

    Cam “Michael Jordan” Thomas is no surprise to Nets fans.

    Is that the reason why LeGM is crying for calls?
