LA Lakers fans think their new team is special, praise Walker Kessler and Luka Doncic duo

It is common knowledge that playing with Doncic is excellent for any big man. Kessler learned that in his debut with the team, throwing down dunks with ease thanks to lobs from LA’s star guards. The rest of the team locked in defensively and made some timely shots, too.

On opening night, the Lakers looked like a well-oiled machine. After the game, their fans discussed the win and what it means online.

This year is going to be so, so, so special,” one fan wrote on X after the victory. “Solid start to the season. Doncic led us from the front and rest followed. Amazing debut for the big guy!” a second fan wrote. “Man, Kessler was the ultimate addition to this team,” a third fan said.

“What a good first win of the season, Big 3 balling out. Especially Kessler,” one comment read. “First time we’ve felt like a real team in so long. I’m so happy,” another reply stated. “Luka Doncic is the man to lead us back to glory, the Luka era begins!” a sixth fan proclaimed.

The Lakers play the Clippers, Jazz, Trail Blazers, and Clippers again to start the season. With how the team is looking, five wins out of their first five look like a real possibility. If they can manage that, it will count as an excellent start to the year.
