'LeBron is about to ask for a trade'

The Los Angeles Lakers have not started the season as expected. After being beaten in Houston by the Rockets 128-94, they fell to a 3-5 record.

LA didn’t have it Anthony Davis in Houston, but still, NBA Twitter slammed the Lakers for their loss.

In each game for the Lakers this season, they:

– They made three fewer than their opponent
– Shot a worse percentage of threes than their opponents

They are the first team in NBA history to do that in the first 8 games of a season. pic.twitter.com/xLCEunO0s6

Word has gotten out and teams are sending more players to the glass when they play the Lakers, knowing that LA will give them tons of offensive rebounds.

A fully healthy Lakers side uses a 10-man rotation. 40% of that rotation is out tonight and that IS the case with the Lakers getting Rui today.

8 games in, how do you feel about the Lakers? What is good, what is not?

I would move heaven and earth to have Alex Caruso back in a Lakers uniform

Nothing to say about the Lakers. Sometimes you have to take L and ask yourself what happened.

3-5 Lakers, yes. But half of our players are injured and remember we started 2-10 last year and are still making the WCF.
