NBA Twitter reacts to Opening Night: ‘Good news is the Lakers could draft Wembanyama… for the Pelicans”
The 2022-23 NBA season officially tipped off last night, with the Warriors and Celtics picking up wins against the Lakers and Sixers, respectively.
As expected, NBA Twitter reacted live to the Lakers being down 27 points to the champs, while also James Harden’s viral highlight moment didn’t go unnoticed.
This Lakers team is not real, I still can't believe I witnessed a Pat Bev iso

How could the Lakers build a team around LeBron that lacks shooting AGAIN??
Not to mention poor defenders.
Man, I don’t get it. The man is 38. The idea is things should be easier on him.

I hope Pat Bev give himself a lot of criticism on his next episode of his podcast because he’s been HORRIBLE tonight in his Lakers debut. Don’t mind me tho and Carry the hell on…

To be fair, the Lakers are still trying to figure out how to win now that Luol Deng is officially off the books. Will take time.

Lakers need to seriously rethink that deal for Buddy Hield and Myles Turner.
Their issues will only get worse with this roster…

Don't worry, everyone. The Lakers want to wait another 19 games or so to know for sure they need a trade.
