Lakers Rally in Fourth Quarter to Earn First Preseason Win Against Bucks

October 10, 2023, Milwaukee – The Lakers staged a thrilling comeback in the fourth quarter to secure a 107-102 victory over the Bucks, marking their first win of the preseason. Game Highlights LeBron James scored 11 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, and dished out 4 assists in just 16 minutes of play. Anthony Davis had a quieter offensive night with 11 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 blocks in 25 minutes. Rui Hachimura contributed significantly with 14 points and 5 rebounds. Dalton Knecht added 13 points along with 8 rebounds. Gabe Vincent continued to impress off the bench with 8 points, going 3-for-5 from the field. Game Progression The Lakers started the game with two turnovers but quickly found their rhythm when Christie hit a 3-pointer, leading to a 7-0 run that put them ahead. However, Bobby Portis led the Bucks on a 10-0 run to regain the lead. As the second quarter progressed, both teams traded baskets, with Milwaukee’s defense stepping up, including a block by Giannis Antetokounmpo on LeBron. Despite defensive struggles, the Lakers managed an 8-0 run, but the Bucks responded with an 11-0 run of their own, ending the half at 58-52 in favor of Milwaukee. The second half began with Milwaukee’s star players on the bench, giving the Lakers a chance to tie the game with a 9-2 scoring run. However, the Bucks maintained a slight edge by the end of the third quarter, leading 82-74. Dramatic Fourth Quarter Milwaukee initially extended its lead to 15 points in the final quarter, but the Lakers' bench fought back, cutting the deficit to six with 3-pointers from Quincy Olivari and Maxwell Lewis. The Lakers then went on a stunning 20-0 scoring run before the Bucks could respond. Olivari’s explosive performance capped off with a powerful dunk from Lewis had the Lakers’ bench erupt with excitement. Key Takeaways The Lakers' defense needs improvement, as they allowed several easy shots for the Bucks due to lapses in focus. Vincent showcased his shooting prowess and hustle, indicating what he can bring to the team this season. The young Lakers players displayed heart and determination, with Olivari emerging as a potential gem for the team.

Who would you say is more feral about the other and who would you say is more protective between Joe and Ja’Marr ??feel free to give examples 😊

hiii i feel like a lot of people think ja’marr’s more feral about joe and a lot of blogs have panned out examples on how joe being just as if not more feral and i agree with both! it’s equal feralness, equal devotion, equal ‘can you both chill abt each other’ kind of way. this might be a cop out lmao but genuinely comparing actions vs words between these two is just mind melting for me so yeah they definitely don’t fuck around abt each other

i feel like all the feral moments have been mentioned 😭 joes natty game ball thrown straight at jamarr, the saints game lsu jersey that joe elected to wear for whatever reason, joe weighing in how he wants jamarr with him and bengals actually getting the guy for him, jamarr choosing to follow his college qb to ohio, the clothes saga of does joe actually let jamarr dress him up or does he not, the lakers date jamarr flew to save joes shit week, the he’s like a god to me comment, the ufc moves schtick which is a very barbara krugers you construct intricate rituals which allow you to touch the skin of other men kinda deal, jamarr going out of his way to fly to joe to be the one joe throws to for his fourth throwing session post wrist injury (insane btw :)), etc etc no but genuinely there’s so many more its crazy

and just like this one article that isn’t even really anything compared to the rest of their lore yk? but it just sticks to me so hard like wdym ‘i knew i was going to feed my guy he was due for one’ ‘he was excited all week’ oh ok were you enamored at how excited he was 😭 did u want to keep him happy and smiling and bouncing all around the place answer me joseph. joseph. what do you think of a happy ja’marr joseph. would you do anything in your power to keep him that way joseph or. but anyways!

‘all i can do is make him look good, he helps me look good. we make each other look good. just being there for him. that’s all i can do is be there for him’ WOULD YOU STOP???? where does he get these words jamarr chase shuttt your mouthhhh i swearrrr 😭 half the shit he says sounds like its from a 13 yo writing mafia aus for the first time and yet it hits!! every time!!!! girl learn some restraint (keep talking never stop etc)

they’re both equally protective of the other?? in a way that’s like ‘how dare you not perceive this man the way i perceive him and fault him for being who he is’

when joe—wrist in cast mind u—looked deadass ready to get down to business with someone chirping at ja’marr post kc game where ja’marr got into a fight with however many people are in that team. somebody who psychoanalyzes for a living should study jamarrs shit with the chiefs and how joe relates to that fr

ja’marr’s preseason drops where people shit on him so bad and joe couldn’t exactly cuss people out but he was sooo steadfast in his belief on jamarr barely flinching anytime someone mentions about it ‘i know the type of guy jamarr is, he’ll be ready game one’, unsmiling ‘i thought he was dropping everything’ doing the pinky shake as ja’marr was leaving his presscon seat right in front of all those reporters as an extra special fuck you that’s my guy sort of thing yk. the contract hold out people asking abt jamarr being game ready and him saying jamarr would be ready regardless (?) or something along those lines. the post kc game shove presser ahaha. to my knowledge joe never caters to anybody saying shit subtly or outrightly about jamarr and i live and breathe that shit i won’t lie

any of jamarrs twitter fights with literally anybody who shits on joe no matter if it was actual like hate or just casual opinions on who’s the better qb?? girl. honestly.

ja’marr being soooo health proactive about other people!! no but seriously he cares soooo much about injuries and everything—that one calf strain joe had preseason that he keeps saying to chill and sit back until game 5, ‘i told him don’t scare me like that again he knows how to slide he’s just hard headed’ looking deadass pissed off at the thought, ‘im here for the future, for him. i want you to be here for the future’, the stand back and look pretty in the pocket (insane. just fucking insane thing to say), saying hed rather have joe throwing from the back than running the ball in fact hed rather not joe get hit at all—just anything about joe playing through injuries and he lets out an insane quote that has people (rpf enjoyers: me) question if he ever pauses to think of the implications

and sorry brief jamarr focused word vomit: he also says the most important thing for malik nabers is to be healthy :(( he cares so much abt injuries over playing, he opted out playing his junior year during covid, etc but that week 4 (???) shoulder injury report that he keeps saying he’s fine even when the bandages peek through his shirt is so 😭 pls self reflect bub (though i guess it really was fine considering he went and did amazing that game so i feel he’s amazingly aware of his limits too?? his health vice is just shit diet ig)

and like idk if this is included in like the protective kind of way but that interview when they asked if joe was more intense and ja’marr went off saying he doesn’t look at joe the way you people do (and how he only looks at him on the field lol ok jamarr)—like he’s enraged that people nitpick on everything that joe presents himself as ‘the way yall be looking at him’ can somewhat equate to ‘yall are don’t know shit about him look away’ which is. ???? ok jamarr ok. like i feel he thinks he knows joe very well even if he doesn’t know everything that joes feeling no matter how many times reporters ask him for his insight, but he definitely feels like he knows joe a whole lot better than these outsiders who keep trying to over-analyze his quarterback but wrongly so he has to bite back sharp remarks over these misconceptions about joe via being overly defensive

theres probably more that i cant recall or not know sigh knowing that there are gems of joemarr moments i will never know because i wasnt here for their entire nfl run hurts me deeply btw

Last Song: OK by Wallows

Currently Watching: Lakers highlights/podcasts. Why is the start of the NBA season so far away (even preseason)? At least FIBA is next month, though. Also, old LA Gladiators matches because I miss Overwatch but I also don't want to play Overwatch hahaha (why did they take away the old game it was better)

Currently Reading: Um, nothing. I haven't read anything in a long while...

Current Obsession: Lakers (lol). Back to my roots - I blame AR for throwing nice passes and making clutch plays. Those are my kryptonite. I'm still into GOT7 (mostly Jackson) somewhat, but Twitter has really kind of killed a lot of that interest. I've also spent a lot of time lately just creating and organizing wishlists lol

Anthony's Stupid Daily Blog (942): Sat 19th Oct 2024

I was fucking knackered this morning as I’d only gotten a couple hours sleep after I got back from Kingy’s last night. Luckily they were extremely over staffed at work today and they offered some lucky workers early finished. Eight of us applied for it and there were only six slots available so our manager put all our names onto a virtual roulette wheel and the six people who’s name the wheel landed on got to go home. Luckily my name was the very last one that got called and I immediately screamed “HELL YEAH. BACK TO BED BABY!” and after working for only two hours I fucked off back to bed for a well earned nap. 

When I woke up I tuned into the preseason game between the LA Lakers and the Golden State Warriors. The only highlight from the Lakers’ side was newcomer Quincy Olivari doing a diving slam dunk, landing on his arse and sliding towards the camera and giving a big smile to the audience. The rest of the game was a joke as the Lakers lost by sixty fucking points! I know it’s just a preseason game to let all the newcomers find their feet but I mean…What the actual? I hope to God that when LeBron and Davis get back on the fucking court they manage to pull these new starters kicking and screaming to a good game because this was just atrocious.

LeBron James e Bronny James sono diventati la prima coppia padre e figlio a giocare insieme nella lega di basket nordamericana

La stagione del basket americano si apre con una nuova e annunciata pagina di storia. LeBron James e Bronny James, nel season opener di martedì 22 ottobre, sono diventati la prima coppia padre e figlio a giocare insieme nella lega di basket nordamericana. Nulla di inatteso, anzi. Già in preseason, i riflettori erano puntati su entrambi. Il tre volte oro Olimpico, nonché quattro volte Campione NBA, 20 volte All Star e non per ultimo, miglior marcatore di sempre del torneo, c’è abituato. È una prima volta assoluta, invece, per il figlio classe 2004, scelto quest’anno al draft dai Los Angeles Lakers con la 55ª chiamata. Nel debutto stagionale dei gialloviola, vincenti in casa per 110-103 sui Minnesota Timberwolves, il rookie ha messo piede in campo nel secondo quarto, realizzando un sogno che papà LeBron cullava da anni. Bronny James chiuderà la partita con poco meno di tre minuti giocati, senza punti a referto (16 punti, 5 rimbalzi e 4 assist, invece, per il James senior), ma con la propria firma in un momento inedito nella storia della NBA. Chi è Bronny James: numeri, statistiche e carriera del rookie dei Lakers Nato ad Akron, Ohio, come suo padre, LeBron Raymone James Jr.- meglio noto come Bronny - è un giocatore di pallacanestro che dal 2024 milita nei Los Angeles Lakers, in NBA. È nato nel 2004, quando il papà era già professionista nella lega, con la maglia dei Cleveland Cavaliers che lo avevano selezionato al draft con la prima scelta giusto un anno prima. Gioca nel ruolo di guardia (sia point guard che shooting guard), è alto 1,88m e nel 2023, da giocatore di Sierra Canyon High School, ha preso parte al McDonald’s All-American. Sempre nel 2023, Bronny James si è iscritto alla University of Southern California (USC), giocando in NCAA con gli USC Trojans. Prima dell'inizio della stagione, un problema cardiaco lo costringe a diversi mesi di stop, tornando a giocare a dicembre. Scenderà in campo per un totale di 25 partite, di cui 6 da titolare, realizzando 4,8 punti di media col 37% al tiro. Si dichiara per il Draft NBA 2024, venendo chiamato al secondo giro. I Los Angeles Lakers, squadra in cui suo padre ha militato nelle ultime sei stagioni, lo selezionano con la scelta numero 55. Lakers-Timberwolves, l'ennesimo record di LeBron James e l'esordio di Bronny in NBA Pochi giorni dopo il draft, LeBron James firma un nuovo contratto con i Lakers e insieme a Bronny forma ufficialmente la prima coppia papà-figlio nella storia NBA. Il 6 ottobre, nel giorno del 20° compleanno di Bronny, i due giocano insieme in preseason contro i Phoenix Suns. Poco più di due settimane dopo, nella notte italiana tra il 22 e il 23 ottobre, esordiscono in regular season. Non è l’unico record, per il LeBron James col 23 sulla maglia: il match con i Minnesota Timberwolves gli permette di marcare presenza in NBA per la ventiduesima stagione consecutiva, primato condiviso con Vince Carter. L’ennesimo, in termini di longevità, per la stella del basket statunitense, reduce dall’oro Olimpico di Parigi 2024 vinto con Team USA. Il momento storico per la famiglia James, invece, si materializza dopo otto minuti di gioco nel secondo quarto, con i Lakers avanti 51-35: dalla panchina entra Bronny, dà il cinque al papà e tutta l’arena applaude, sotto gli scatti dei fotografi. Una scena mai vista prima, in NBA. Nello sport USA, c'è un precedente nel baseball, con Ken Griffey e Ken Griffey Jr in campo insieme nella MLB, con i Seattle Mariners. I due hanno assistito al match dei Lakers e hanno incontrato i James prima della partita, che ha dato il via alla nuova stagione con una vittoria per i californiani. Read the full article
