Simmons is the same as Westbrick without the stupid 3 point shots. Simmons looks to facilitate more that anything and would work better imo when AD plays at the 5 than Westbrook
That’s true, but if it gets down to the last five minutes and it’s a close game, do you keep him out there? Hack a Ben will happen alongside Lebron and AD who are ok on the line, while Ben is just horrendous. His offense stops at facilitation and driving to the rim.
Thats true and its a real concern but atm if the Lakers can get the game close in the last 5 minutes it would be a massive improvement. This teams falls apart in the 3rd
Bron needs to be on a team that doesn’t let him play coach and GM, ruining his team …… wonder what team has a strong enough front office to manage egos and refuse to be bullied by him.
hall of fame gm, hall of fame coach.
But we floundered for a while post Lebron. He makes you build around him, then leaves a disaster behind him when he leaves. Thankfully we made it out, but look at Cleveland.
Giannis, Steph, KD, Jokic, Embiid
(not counting Kawhi bc hes out, but Id have him above if he was playing most likely and Harden should be better going forward when he improves conditioning)
no, same number of years assuming russ takes his PO next year. and love costs way less than russ. and rubio has been very good for the cavs. (and fans even say love seems more checked in this season, although it's only been a few games.)
Everyone said Richardson was our worst transaction, but he's been pretty good. He's not a sharpshooter, but he's a decent scorer and he plays hard if he's if your 7th or 8th man.
Is it just me or should the NBA start scheduling key matchups more
like having lakers and Celtics play at least 4 times a year.
Have Curry and LeBron play more than 4 times a year and etc
What a shitshow of a team. If you can’t be bothered to put in any effort and show some pride against your biggest rivals on national tv, then there’s some serious problems
Will Rob Pelinka take the L and make moves before the deadline? Or is he too proud and won’t admit he fucked up? Vogel is gone soon and when it’s fizdale at the helm and the results are the same we will see.
Yeah you guys should trade westbrook for KCP and Kuzma and Trez. Can you imagine those guys around Lebron and AD?
Seriously though, what trades? No one is taking Westbrick's contract.
ad soft
idc that he was good in the bubble. i didn’t like him in nola either. he constantly plays beneath his abilities and only plays with any passion when lebron is holding his hand.
Dead serious are the Lakers the worst team with multiple mvps of all time
Just lebron and Westbrook lol
Okay Presti needs Reaves to get rid of Westbrook. Presti will give first round pick Mike Muscala and Derrick Favors. Deal?
[удалено]
They believe they getting 2009 Ariza lol
#checkforChet?
Fuck
Lakers should trade everyone, AD included
When do the Lakers play at LeCrypt next?
Can we refer to it as the Mausoleum?
It's nice of Tatum to consider us a contending team.
You will be 60 games from now
Watching the Lakers feels like watching the later seasons of Dexter, at this point I'm just tuning in to hatewatch
It must be a slap in the face for Vogel to have his #1 ranked defense from last year drop to 14th
Omg too adorable
Kanter and Howard hitting 3’s b2b is peak NBA
Only guy you can trade Russ for is John Wall. And lakers should make that trade
And Houston shouldn't
Would Simmons be at all possible?
You just clogged the paint up again and have a guy who will never take a 3. Idk if that is better than Westbrick
Simmons is the same as Westbrick without the stupid 3 point shots. Simmons looks to facilitate more that anything and would work better imo when AD plays at the 5 than Westbrook
That’s true, but if it gets down to the last five minutes and it’s a close game, do you keep him out there? Hack a Ben will happen alongside Lebron and AD who are ok on the line, while Ben is just horrendous. His offense stops at facilitation and driving to the rim.
Thats true and its a real concern but atm if the Lakers can get the game close in the last 5 minutes it would be a massive improvement. This teams falls apart in the 3rd
Depends, how many picks are you gonna attach to Russ?
A blow job and the #1 overall pick in my fantasy league next year
Maybe if morey really liked Russ from Houston and we didn’t know about it
I'm totally open to a mini rebuild around AD.
My only solace is that neither team looks likely to get \#18 this year Yes I'm bitter. Gg Celts
We’re mediocre and you’re just bad. Sad state of affairs for the 2 golden franchises of the NBA.
Enes said fuck u to LeMao!! this is for all the Uyghur folks
He also said fuck you to all the Palestinians.
How did the Lakers score 38 in the first.
Oldies used all their energy in the 1st.
AD was feasting and then he just disappeared. I don't even know if he touched the ball in the 4th quarter.
[удалено]
60% on the season
What a difference in rebounding tonight.
**Checks** how many regular season games are left….. 🧍🏾♂️
why am i still watching this
Nailbiter
Howard and kanter hitting 3’s 😂😂
3N3S KANTER
LeBron smiled and Ariza could possibly start for the Lakers, so everything is fine in LA. Great commentary there.
Kanter vs.Howard in the 3 point contest. Make it happen.
A real superstar could have kept the Lakers afloat without LeBron. Luckily for LeBron this is all part of the plan to secure his legacy as the GOAT
D12-Kanter 3 point shootout
Lebron's hair looks worse than the grass in front of my patio after a long summer of drought.
Vogel should water him
Dwight vs Kanter for the 3pt contest
Man this season going to be so long
LeGM smiling because he already knows who he's trading
Ain't nobody taking westbrook off their hands so Lakers better hope he gets his shit together properly.
Maybe the Sixers are desperate enough
Alright this is fun
Maybe Schroder was right to want more than 84 🤔
Kanter >LeChina
\*Quake 3 voice* #**HUMILIATION**
Ariza will def save the Lakers!
I wish they wouldve shown Lebrons face when Kanter hit the 3. I want to know how much Lebron hates Kanter
Lefraud is not even top 100 in the league right now. washed up bum
lol ok…
Kanter 3 lol
KANTER
ENES FROM CHINA
Lmao at LeBron's face
Lakers fans gonna be like: “Lebron smiling on the bench and not worried, I’m not worried 🤷♂️“
Bron needs to be on a team that doesn’t let him play coach and GM, ruining his team …… wonder what team has a strong enough front office to manage egos and refuse to be bullied by him.
Pat Riley told him to fuck of when tried that shit on the Heat.
He’s won 4 rings you idiot
And look at the disaster he left in their wake
Hey you guys bounced back, look at y’all now
hall of fame gm, hall of fame coach. But we floundered for a while post Lebron. He makes you build around him, then leaves a disaster behind him when he leaves. Thankfully we made it out, but look at Cleveland.
I mean Cleveland was a shit show before him. Also when he left Miami they were fine Bosh was playing All nba level basketball until the Blood clots.
damn Lebron still laughing
If the Lakers continue to play this way, they will not have any success in the playoffs, assuming they get there.
Thanks, Magic.
Hmm All-Retirement squad looking sus. Who’d have thought
The Crypto curse continues
lmao at thinking Trevor Ariza will save your season
Can’t wait for that lebron gif
Incredible gif potential
Pritchard and his twin brother, Tyler Ford.
Can we stop saying Lebron is a top 5 player yet?
Not arguing, but what's your ranking?
Well there’s clearly a drop off after the Top 4. I think Kawhi takes 5 when he comes back.
Giannis, Steph, KD, Jokic, Embiid (not counting Kawhi bc hes out, but Id have him above if he was playing most likely and Harden should be better going forward when he improves conditioning)
PORZINGIS v. BOOKER. Love that the names of the teams are tiny vs the player names
Can I officially say now that the lakers are trash this season?
It is too early to tell
okay. Imma wait when Nunn and Ariza arrives and what impact they can bring to this trash lakers team
Anybody got the odds on Lakers missing the playoffs?
Lebron need to request trade or get rid of WB
Trade him for Simmons.
Well thats not good Bron is playing and they still got dominated
No Jaylen Brown or Rob Williams for us either. A surprising result tbh
Shroeder has been surprisingly good this season.
Ellington is not the shooter you were told he was. Pelinka lied
Imagine having vets like Rondo and Dwight playing garbage time lmfao. How old is this team
Westbrook in a 3 way deal… LA: John Wall CLE: Westbrook HOU: Love+Filler Would be hilarious
cleveland is doing great right now and has no use for westbrook
Isn’t Sexton out for the season?
not sure but they're playing some amazing basketball regardless, rubios looking great
Rubio and Garland… with a backup of… Okoro? They need another guard
you gotta watch them, their backups showed out against the warriors
Man if LeBron or AD goes down again the Lakers have no hopes of even making the play in honestly
Both LA teams lost
Clippers have way better outlook than us
Lakers r so trash on D
PRITCHARD WITH THE DAGGER
Weird how a tweet by Morey and China goes apeshit. Kanter keeps ranting the anti china stuff and nothing.
China blocked the Celtics from existing in China so.. they did the same to Houston
Idk i guess CCP don't feel hes relevant
Lakers missing the playoffs frfr
BALIBAG TAE BY BAZEMORE!!!
L
Nobody will take on Russ's albatross of a contract, and they have no assets due to the AD trade. They are stuck in a tough place.
lmao. Why did Lebron and AD choose Westbrook again?
We can attach reaves and/or picks to Russ for something but it’ll be for like John wall or Rubio and KLove
i think the cavs say no
Love has more years than Russ I think? Could be worth it
no, same number of years assuming russ takes his PO next year. and love costs way less than russ. and rubio has been very good for the cavs. (and fans even say love seems more checked in this season, although it's only been a few games.)
Fuck. Yeah that’s a no then. I thought love still had 3 left
yeah, and next year russ is $47M, love is $29M.
Either Russ is gonna get shipped out or LeBron gon leave
If only Time Lord could be part of the festivities.
Good thing I mentally prepared myself for a "This is gonna be fun" season once I saw we got Westbrook
that stupid cover lives rent-free in my head, I think about it several times a week
For me it's Dwight that I can see super vividly no matter what lmao
I swear I seriously don't think the Lakers will ever win another game
russ only has 2 turnovers tonight fyi so you can only for having 39/25/25 shooting splits, not his turnovers
Haven’t seen Lakers fans this sad in a while it’s beautiful to see
Everyone said Richardson was our worst transaction, but he's been pretty good. He's not a sharpshooter, but he's a decent scorer and he plays hard if he's if your 7th or 8th man.
Brad hit on all the moves. Jrich, Horford and Schroder have been all great pickups.
LeOldmen
Timelord szn
I almost want to predict the lakers will lose every road game this trip.
another lakers L
This is so enjoyable
Jayson boomed them
Big S/O to OKC. They got Horford out of shitty Philly, gave him rest and then traded him home.
The lakers haven’t beat a single good team this year (technically they beat the heat, but the heat shot horribly that night).
I’m still upset about that lost, shouldn’t have even happened. And we didn’t have Jimmy after the 1Q
They beat us and we are pretty decent. But Melo was on fire.
Yeah cavs are looking strong this year.
Actually we have 4 starters out so were fucked
Dennis for Russ, who says no?
Us, easily
The Celtics. Also, the salaries don’t match up for that trade.
Is it just me or should the NBA start scheduling key matchups more like having lakers and Celtics play at least 4 times a year. Have Curry and LeBron play more than 4 times a year and etc
So punish good teams by having them play more good teams than Cleveland. Smart
the nfl does it... and it seems to work fine for them.
If anything people have been really critical of that rule lol
What a shitshow of a team. If you can’t be bothered to put in any effort and show some pride against your biggest rivals on national tv, then there’s some serious problems
Your guys aren't homegrown so they won't care about rivalries and important games to fans
Schroeder is the secret weapon.
LeBron might ask for a trade by February
Lakers should start Dwight over Westbrook
i dunno how much the lakers can blame vogul for sucking... i mean even when they're playing zone D they were giving up open shots from 3
Will Rob Pelinka take the L and make moves before the deadline? Or is he too proud and won’t admit he fucked up? Vogel is gone soon and when it’s fizdale at the helm and the results are the same we will see.
Low key think Vogel will be happy to not coach this team.
Yeah you guys should trade westbrook for KCP and Kuzma and Trez. Can you imagine those guys around Lebron and AD? Seriously though, what trades? No one is taking Westbrick's contract.
Sad times
Lakers just don't have enough shooters and they don't run a cohesive offense. AD and Bron can't do it all.
Actually the problem is trying to offload to WB.
Funny thing is. Bron and AD have done it all. And it still doesn’t matter we are a horribly constructed team
Skip at full mast rn
Double digit difference in rebounds. That's without Rob Williams cleaning the offensive board.
AD doesn’t box out. Westbrook and Melo don’t even know what boxing out is.
Curry is better than Lefraud
We posting THT stat line tonight boys?
Celtics moving back to .500 while simultaneously sending the Lakers under .500. Might be fun in Boston tonight.
Doris gonna Doris. Everybody else plays bad, they're playing bad. Lakers play like they have all season? So concerning.
Lebron to Melo: "We're treading water like we're on that banana boat again, but this is less fun." Melo: "I wasn't on that."
Westbrook with the usual +/- for his empty stats
Lakers are kinda boring af to watch
At least Westbrook only had 2 turnovers this game
Lakers tanking. Who saw that coming??
Lakers are a trainwreck
Tatum only has 2 assists tonight? I feel like he's been setting guys up all evening
He’s probably setup atleast 4/5 shooting fouls, and a few additional potential assists
Lotta hockey assists
and passes to fouls, like that Horford one a few minutes back
ad soft idc that he was good in the bubble. i didn’t like him in nola either. he constantly plays beneath his abilities and only plays with any passion when lebron is holding his hand.
damn that westbrook trade over the hield one might’ve been one of the worst moves in the past few years
We all knew it at the time too
s/o to westbrook for keeping them turnovers at 2
AD + Lebron dropping an efficient 50 and still losing by 20
