The Lakers missed the playoffs, and didn’t even make it to the Play-In after building a super team meant to compete for a championship. Injuries riddled the Lakers season, as Anthony Davis went down for a good portion of the season, and LeBron James battled an ankle injury. Steph Curry and the Warriors aren't just celebrating the opening of the regular season tonight. Dressed in white coming into Chase Arena, is LeBron James going to be a saviour for the Lakers this season after what was a historically disappointing season last year?

Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green have been the anchors in this dynasty and the will be looking to get back to the playoffs healthy this year. Lonnie Walker and Patrick Beverly join AD, LeBron and Westbrook in the Lakers starting five to start the season. AD going into the body of Looney and finishing off the glass.

7 p.m. - Time: 10 p.m. Lakers will tip off around 10 p.m. Timeout on the floor. The first bucket of Year 20 comes after a strong move on JaMychal Green. James has seven points in the game but his cold shooting is a trend among the team. James has 14 points (on 5 of 15 shooting) and the team is 3 of 21 from deep. — Two free throws from LeBron James cut the Lakers' deficit to seven right before the break, a relief given how poorly LA has shot in the half. The difference has been overall offensive efficiency and execution as the Lakers are up to 17 turnovers while dishing out 14 assists. The Warriors look primed to move to 1-0 as they use a dominant third quarter to take command. Outside of that trio, the Lakers scored 32 points on 11-of-34 shooting. Curry led the way with 33 points (on 10 of 22 shooting) while Andrew Wiggins finished with 20 points and Klay Thompson added 19 points in 18 minutes.

'Tanking already?': Lakers 'stink' in opener as great 'p***ed' at Westbrook saga.

You know in our league there’s teams that can do that,” James added. “It’s time for the Lakers to move him ... I think the wear and tear mentally last year and starting this year, playing with Patrick Beverley ... I hate the fact that they made him and (former coach Frank Vogel) scapegoats. “This guy (Westbrook) used to be so exuberant, playing with great energy and great emotion. James, Davis and Westbrook -- supposed to form a “Big Three” capable of challenging for the title last year -- ended up playing only 21 games together. We’ve been through an awful lot together. “He broke our trust with this incident, but I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt because I think he has earned that and I think our team feels the same way. A roster rebuild that saw the arrival of Westbrook and the departure of several players involved in the 2020 title run was seen by many as the main reason behind the Lakers defensive demise. The Warriors coach says he expects Green -- one of his most trusted on-court lieutenants during a run that has included six trips to the NBA Finals since 2015 -- to rebuild “trust” with teammates and coaches. For most of the past decade, the Warriors have been a model of consistency on and off the court, a well-coached, well-run organisation that has set a standard for the rest of the league. LA was well beaten 32-19 in the third term to trail by as much as 27 points as it was left with no answers on the defensive end to Golden State’s barrage of shooting.

Grading Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and the rest of the Golden State Warriors in the team's 123-109 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on ...

It’s a new team, with exciting new players, and there was a lot of adrenaline at Chase Center. Hopefully the Dubs starters can take care of business regularly so that Rollins can find more time on the court. most of them the “oops, got a little too excited” variety. He spaced the floor, crashed the glass, and displayed great athleticism. Klay was on a tight minutes restriction after only appearing in one preseason game, the result of not scrimmaging during the offseason. If there’s one thing we learned about Green in this game, it’s that the coaching staff is going to trust him, as he got 23 minutes in this one. He had multiple plays where he caught the ball, didn’t see an open shooter, and then drove in a straight line right into traffic. Steve Kerr on Andrew Wiggins: "I just told him, if he can rebound like that in the playoffs then he can rebound like that in the regular season." And in the aftermath of the game, the most talked about Green moment was one where cameras caught him fraternizing with LeBron James during the game, when Green was on the Warriors bench. His three wasn’t falling but he put Patrick Beverley, Russell Westbrook, Kendrick Nunn, and Lonnie Walker IV on skates repeatedly, and used the threat of his jump shot to get open backcut after open backcut. On the offensive front, it was mostly quiet efficiency — which the Warriors will happily take — until the fourth quarter, when the Lakers started to make a run and Wiggins had the perfect dagger-three response on multiple occasions. [Golden State Warriors](https://www.goldenstateofmind.com) kicked off the defense of their title in emphatic fashion on Tuesday night, on the first day of the 2022-23 NBA season.

For the second consecutive season, a Los Angeles Lakers team featuring Russell Westbrook has opened its season against the Golden State Warriors, ...

Remember, the Lakers have finally taken the plunge and moved Anthony Davis to center. James Wiseman just came in for his first NBA minutes in over a year, and LeBron James immediately takes him to the basket. The Lakers staved off the run for a bit and even cut the lead down to six. The Lakers sorely need him to stay on the floor. The Lakers move to 1-of-7 from behind the arc in one of the more predictable struggles you'll see all season. Just when you think the Lakers have found a bit of momentum and made a 3... The Lakers need to improve if they're going to stand up to the Clippers on Thursday. But this season is unique in all of the youth the Warriors have accumulated. This is going to be a work in progress, for as long as Westbrook remains on the team. The Lakers and Warriors will see each other three more times this season, and if the Lakers hope to compete with the defending champions in any of those games, they're going to need a whole lot more out of their support cast. Speaking of doubters, we have to address the elephant in the room here. The Warriors held the Lakers to just 25 percent shooting from behind the arc, and that poor spacing allowed them to protect the rim without worrying about the Lakers punishing them from deep.

After unveiling their new championship banner and receiving their rings in a pregame ceremony, the Golden State Warriors still had business to handle ...
