Matt Ryan Trying To Make Most Of Opportunity With Lakers By ... (LakersNation.com)

Los Angeles Lakers sharpshooting wing Matt Ryan believes he can shoot with anyone in the NBA and is thankful for his opportunity with L.A..

And I just needed to keep shooting and one of these games it was gonna click for me, it just took a couple games. If he can string together another couple of games like that, he will make it extremely difficult for the Lakers to let him go. It’s the best way to watch player interviews, exclusive coverage from events, participate in live shows, and more! I was seeing a bunch of shots hit the back rim and go in and out so I knew I was shooting it well. On paper, the team doesn’t have any certifiable knockdown deep shooters, but Ryan clearly falls under that category and he believes he is as good as anybody. The sharpshooting wing exploded for 20 points in the win, hitting 6-of-9 shots from 3-point range and showing exactly what makes him an intriguing roster possibility.

The 29-year-old Davis played just 21 minutes and scored 24 of his points in the first half to set the tone for the Lakers, who were without LeBron James and Russell Westbrook.

NBA Fans React To Anthony Davis' Dominant Performance Against ... (Yardbarker)

Anthony Davis' phenomenal performance against the Warriors in preseason has led fans to believe they can win the NBA Championship this season.

The Commanders are looking up at the Philadelphia Eagles (5-0), the New York Giants (4-1) and the Dallas Cowboys (4-1) in the division. And then we had the unfortunate Philadelphia game, and he struggled a bit in the Dallas game. The result: A Lions fumble that was returned for a New England touchdown to give the Patriots a 13-0 lead and a momentum-changing score that would completely flip the game. Meanwhile, the Houston Texans, the team that traded Watson to the Browns in March, have announced that they are offering an exchange program related to jerseys associated with Watson and others. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Monday morning that Watson "is on track" to meet the terms for his eventual reinstatement that should make him eligible for his Browns regular-season debut at the Houston Texans, his former team, in Week 13 on Dec. Watson returned to the Browns' team facility Monday for the first time since his ban started this past summer and reportedly "is on track" to meet the conditions for his reinstatement later this fall. In March, the Commanders acquired Wentz and a 2022 second-round pick from the Colts for a 2022 second-rounder, a 2022 third-rounder and a conditional 2023 pick. He doesn’t grade as well when it comes to stealing strikes for his pitchers (and for ensuring that borderline strikes are accurately called), but he’s still a quality option behind the dish — particularly when considering that few of his positional peers can match his work with the bat. So, the Lakers need Anthony Davis to stay healthy and step up for the team in the 2022-23 NBA season. The Cubs will still have the remainder of this month and an exclusive five-day window to negotiate with Contreras following the completion of the World Series (as all teams do with their pending free agents). The final score was 124-121 in favor of the Purple and Gold. Obviously now Giannis has further improved since, but AD at the top of his game makes him one of the best few in the league.

Lakers News: Will Darvin Ham Start Anthony Davis At Center In The ... (Sports Illustrated)

Davis at the five has seemed like the best lineup for the Lakers to live up to their potential, so we'll see if Ham is able to get him to play there this season. There's been a lot of talk about L.A. Slotting AD in as the "small-ball five" could allow the Lakers to put shooters around the 6'10" All-Star and LeBron James, which felt like the best 'death lineup' for the team.

Lakers News: Anthony Davis Starting at Center 'Under Heavy ... (Bleacher Report)

Having him at center allows LeBron James to play the 4 in a point-forward role and makes Russell Westbrook's own inadequacies as a shooter less impactful, since ...

Davis is an excellent shot-blocker (2.3 blocks per game in his career), but asking him to bang on the block with the likes of Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokić and Rudy Gobert, among others, will take its toll. But it would still give the Lakers better floor spacing and optionality than having Davis at the 4 next to Damian Jones or Thomas Bryant at the 5. But the Lakers may ask him to play more center this season.

Lakers News: Darvin Ham Says Final Two Preseason Games Will ... (LakersNation.com)

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham says the last two preseason games will be closer to regular season minutes and rotations.

I’m gonna use as many pieces as I possibly can that I have at my disposal to put together the best lineup we can possibly have, multiple lineups that we can use throughout the course of the game, especially through the course of different stretches of the season.” It’s the best way to watch player interviews, exclusive coverage from events, participate in live shows, and more! Nonetheless, Ham feels good about the progress being made and now everyone will get a closer look at what to expect once the season begins. There have been some encouraging signs throughout the preseason so far, and these last two contests serve as the final test before games start counting. Leave some time in the middle to see how their body reacts, to build back up and then finalize with the last two preseason games. Those last two games will be more regular season like in terms of the rotation and who’s available so we feel like we’re right on course with what we need to do.”
