I don't care where he finishes his career, I want LeBron out instead of AR. Give Bron, Rui, Knecht, and picks for Giannis and maybe 1 more. Giannis could be fed so much off of Luka and AR! Make it happen Rob! Nico gave us Luka for a reason, take the trash out already!
Thankful for Nico Harrison for giving us Luka because this team is just so good! I'm happy LeBron lowered his role for AR and Luka to shine but he always shows up when needed. Luka and AR such a funny duo, watch when Jokic or Giannis comes in...
Finally the Charlotte Nick Smith Jr. we've all been waiting for. This is a much needed performance when they are short on players. This team can easily beat non-contending teams without the Big 3, so easy!
I enjoyed watching this game, I always knew they can beat teams like the Blazers with a short-manned team because everyone can contribute. They just gotta play with confidence and heart and it's all gonna be easy.
@Lakers I've always believed they can beat this Blazers team. After their loss against Blazers, I hopped on to 2K and completely destroyed the Blazers without Luka and Bron. They just have to play with confidence and heart.
@BronGotGame@Lakers I honestly think they could've easily won this game. AR and Vando were the only aggressive ones. I'm disappointed at the rest, no one at least tried. No one could hit a 3 except AR. DA could've at least put another 20 and 10 game against a team who threw him away.
Nick Smith Jr. was great in Charlotte, what happened to that player now? Couldn't even make a single 3 and ended up with 2 points. If he was in Charlotte, he would've put up 20+ points.
Dalton Knecht was also cold, couldn't even make a shot. He once scored 35 points last season! What happened? Because of the Mark Williams trade? Then that's how weak his mindset is but when he started becoming aggressive, that's when he was on a roll.
Jake LaRavia was so cold, everyone saying he is a good player but it did not show here. he couldn't even make a shot from 3. No matter what they say, scoring is important in a basketball game.
This game was all just AR even though he had a lot of turnovers. Nobody was being aggressive on the boards, nobody was playing defense. DA wasn't aggressive in the paint, Rui wasn't even trying. He could easily put up 20+ points because of his mid-range game.
I feel like they could've won this game easily. No one is being aggressive and they weren't making their shots. Such a disappointing game. Who is in Portland? Nobody in Portland is better than the LA's starting 5. Defense was horrible, a lot of careless turnovers.
I enjoyed watching this game! Everyone was hustling, playing defense, diving for loose balls and being aggressive! That is Lakers basketball! Hope they continue this!
Rui Hachimura saw my tweet. After saying he's gotta go if he's gonna be this bad consistently, he drops 23 points and only missed 3 shots! That's a good bounce back! Way to win against the Timberwolves!
Imagine at 7'5, you can handle the ball, crash the boards, shoot the middy and the 3 ball and even hitting stepback 3s! Being able to block shots easily is something every GM would kill for! Looking forward to see the player Wemby becomes when he reaches his prime.
I am shocked with Wemby's performance today. 41 pts, 15 rebs, 71.4% FG, and an inch grown. That is ABSURD! The only thing standing his way is his body frame and health. If he can add just a little more mass and remain healthy as much as he can, this guy can be the GOAT!
