@FbiAgent961711 They wouldn’t have been down in the first place if he could stop being reckless and actually take care of the ball. That and the fact that he has a bad jumper sometimes is what got him kicked out of Boston. I’d bring him back as long as he’s the 7-8th man
Marcus Smart had a sequence of back to back mind numbing turnovers and then gave up an and-1 mid-way through the 4th. Him and Reaves combined for 14 Turnovers! Bron has to make that final layup. Lakers had the game but Smart and Reaves decided they had to keep turning it over
Vando, Laravia, Knect, Kleiber are guys who get non-minimum $ who gave you minimum play all year. Ayton was up and down all playoffs and was unplayable vs OKC and he was the starter. Jackson Hayes today had more impact than all of those guys did in the offs. That can’t happen.
Lakers fought hard but Pelinka’s refusal and inability to make good draft picks, trade bad contracts away, acquire a starting caliber center & at least 1 3 & D wing killed the season before it started yet again. You have an owners & front office members who are fine with losing.
I’m going count how many field goals Austin Reaves gives up tonight. He’s at 3 already. Two isos to Mitchell and 1 From SGA. Halfway through the first. LeBron has to make a damn shot
Kennard has been unplayable. They keep conceding switches so he keeps guarding SGA. Stop switching! They don’t even make contact on the screen. Switch only if you have to. The Lakers don’t have the athleticism to switch as much as they do

It sucks seeing LeBron’s years wasted like this but he chose LA and he resigned when he shouldn’t have. The Lakers’ front office is a circus and has been for a long time.
Reaves can’t even guard Ajay Mitchell, he’s frying him. Stop telling me he’s a good defender. He’s been getting picked on for years. Reaves is baby that cries foul. Lakers ran out of gas and quit in the second half tonight.
Rob Pelinka assterclass. That’s all I think as I watch Ayton give up 3 off rebounds in a row and then an And-1. LAL is shorter, slower, worse shooting and worse defending, with less depth. Ajay Mitchell is a second round pick that’s been the best player on the floor. Fire Pelinka
LeBron being 5-16 can’t happen. He’s getting some help from Lakers role players. Now is the time to score. Get to the mid range and knock them in. OKC is giving you those 10-15 footers
Wtf does JJ say to these guys at halftime? Lakers come out and get blitzed every single 3rd quarter! He still doesn’t know how to adjust to another team’s adjustments as well as he needs to.
Rui’s been shooting amazing. Reaves’ jumper is broke once again but he’s overcome it, getting to basket and pickup FTs while setting people up. Bron’s been fine. See what happens when you don’t play Jake Laravia!!!!Lakers have to survive the 3rd quarter. Don’t play Jake!!!!!
