Can we just Appreciate how good of a coach JJ has been? Whether it's motivating everyone, offensive/defensive schemes, intensity on the court, Hats off man. Proving all the doubters wrong.
I know LBJ - AR - Luka will do their thing but this guy was the X factor tonight. Hounded Jokic all game, was physical, scored 21 points, went out after taking an elbow to the side but came back STRONG. Great game Rui!!
World's LEAST Believable 40 year old. Lebron freaking James with 40 points on a BACK TO BACK. INSANE. He is on a mission.
I don't care what you say. Give this man MVP, DPOY Tonight. Got ejected last game, had everything to prove. He was EVERYWHERE!! 32 points, 7 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks. HIM.
The takes in game thread tonight are borderline insane. It's one game guys, ONE game. We are missing THREE of our rotation players who were part of the win streak. No Hayes, Gabe, DFS. We were trying out random lineups with new players because guess what?
AR follows his career high 45 with a hyper efficient 22 point game on 6-10 shooting with 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block. Headband Reaves has taken his game to another level. Crossovers, look aways, Ankle breakers, He's got them all! Should have been an All star.
Start of a new Era!! All 5 starters in Double figures tonight. Lebron with 24,7,8. Luka with 14,5,4. AR with 22,9,4. Rui with 21 and 6. Hayes with 12. Also Gabe with 11 and 4. We have been absolutely steam rolling past few games. Just imagine when Luka gets in rhythm. This is just surreal man.
Such a cool art!! He 'toyed' with the Pacers lol.
Considering how badly we needed a center, just imagine how many issues they found to not give them a pass and hope he gets better. I hate the Hornets man. Stupid franchise. You have to trade in good faith not like this.
A part of me was always sad that Knecht had to go..So I am happy he is back. For a trade to be rescinded, Physicals of Mark must be really bad. Only concern is if we can get any center from buyout. If not, We can only hope Hayes improves massively. Anyways, Welcome back DK!!
Scheduled loss? Trap game? These 2 made sure none of that nonsense happened. Considering the circumstances and the players available, I think this might be the best win of this season!! JJ's coaching has been phenomenal to say the least.
Sign here if you want AR to keep his sleeve going forwards!!! Every accessory increases his AURA by 1000%!!
I told you guys after last game, AR will bounce back. And what a game it was!!CAREER HIGH FORTY FIVE POINTS ON 14-26 from the field, 4-9 from 3, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals. We beat the 29 win Pacers WITHOUT Lebron, Luka or Williams!! AR IS HIM!!
As I said, AR is the 1st person to take accountability. Doesn't blame anyone but himself. He also did this multiple times when Pockets masterclass ruined end of game situations last season - took the blame when he didn't need to.
Worst shooting game of his career. But he still contributed, 23 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 15-16 from the FT line. I am sure he will bounce back. AR is his biggest critic, he always takes responsibility and corrects his mistakes.
Where would we be without this man.. 40 years old and doing stuff which is absolutely insane!! FORTY TWO points, SEVENTEEN Rebounds, 8 assists. KING JAMES. He DOESNT know what Father time even means!! 👑
Some Mark Williams Highlights for those unfamiliar with him. Give him a chance, he is 23 and can only improve from here on!
Thank you for everything DK! Get all the touches you can in Charlotte, gain all the experience and I hope you stay healthy! Also you will always be welcome to come back to the Lakers! All the best for the future!
Rob Pelinka always operates in the shadows. Just a couple of days ago he said 'There aren't any Championship calibre bigs on the market' It was all just a smokescreen. Getting DFS while engaging Luka talks with Nico, Fleecing Nico for Luka, Now Mark Williams. Young, athletic, Defender. Hats off Rob.
First Look.
Always a good day when the Clips get their wings clipped. Lakers absolutely steamroll them. Lebron with 26,8,9. AR with 20,6,9. Rui with 20&6. Stifling defense from Vando, DFS, Gabe. JJ with excellent coaching. These are the 2025 Lakers, Luka. Welcome! Can't wait to see these two suit up together!
We as Laker fans have one task. Make Luka feel as comfortable and happy as possible here. He has to feel like this is his home for the rest of his career. Whether you go to watch games or support him on social media, we have to do our best. He HAS to be with us until retirement. Let's get it done.
Some of the takes here legit make me sick. Just think about what you are saying , please.
Max was just finding his groove and and now he's no longer here. It hurts but I am sure he will develop into a great defensive player. Good luck Max, wish you all the best for the rest of your career! We will always welcome you back in the future!!
Bro what did I just see..I know it's Luka but losing AD hurts man. It's just crazy. Thank you for everything AD, We will miss you. Hope you have a great career and stay healthy.
