Discussion Thread for Non Lakers Games: Week of October 30th-November 5th
The second week of the regular season with the in-season tournament kicking off on November 3rd and running through the end of the month.
Welcome to week 2 of the NBA season.
This week is the start of the in-season tournament. Here is the summary of how it works:
On Tuesdays and Fridays between Nov. 3 and Nov. 28, regular season games will double as Tournament Nights for the in-season tournament with the contest counting toward both the regular season win-loss record as well as the Group Play record for the tournament.
After group play, eight teams will advance to the knockout rounds. The top team in the six groups will advance as well as two wildcard teams; the team from each conference with the best record in the groups that finished second.
Ultimately, there is only one extra game to the regular season and that only happens to the teams that make the in-season championship game.
The Lakers are 1-2 and the 10th seed in the Western Conference.
Jarred Vanderbilt will be re-evaluated in two weeks with his left heel bursitis and Jalen Hood-Schifino is still out with right patella contusion.

Out of respect to broadcast partners who have paid to carry the game, no mentions of “alternative” (read: illegal) viewing methods are allowed in our threads.
Anything else goes.
