Columnists Jim Alexander and Mirjam Swanson discuss the news of the week.
From left, Lakers guards Austin Reaves and D’Angelo Russell and forwards Anthony Davis, Rui Hachimura and Taurean Prince sit on the bench near the end of their loss to the Denver Nuggets in their season opener on Tuesday night in Denver. As the NBA season began Tuesday night, we were reminded of one indisputable fact: Every fan base in the Western Conference hates the Lakers. Always have, always will.
And, yeah, seeing headlines today about LeBron’s “surprising” minutes limit. I don’t know what’s surprising about wanting to take it easy with your 39-year-old star in the regular season. I’m curious, though, if Coach Darvin Ham and the Lakers will be disciplined enough to keep to the plan as the season progresses. Because against the Nuggets, at least, it looks like they’ll need more of LeBron.
This was just one game, of course, and the Lakers will have time to work through this plan, yeah, yeah, yeah. But Tuesday’s opener rang pretty hollow considering all the talking the Lakers did about Denver’s talking leading up to it. Including Davis. That said, do Dodgers fans root for the team that beat them in the National League Division Series – losing to the World Series champion would make it sting a little less, for sure – or do they root for former Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager and the Rangers ?
As for Kershaw? Obviously, that’s a lot for him to think about. But surely Dodgers fans want him back in blue next season. That’s not complicated.Well played. Or else we can say Coach Chip Kelly’s rotation is just as scrambled as was that of Manager Dave Roberts – a Bruin alumnus, incidentally – by the end.
