The Los Angeles Lakers have started the season strongly under new head coach JJ Redick, winning their first three games against Western Conference contenders. Anthony Davis has been instrumental, averaging over 30 points per game, while LeBron James impressed with a 32-point triple-double in their recent win over the Sacramento Kings. Meanwhile, Redick's dedication was highlighted when former NBA player Baron Davis spotted him watching game film at a car wash, showcasing his commitment to the team's success. Additionally, Scotty Pippen Jr., who was waived by the Lakers, has found success with the Memphis Grizzlies, raising questions about the Lakers' decision to let him go. Los Angeles fans are optimistic as the team appears to be in great shape to contend in the playoffs this season.
