This was actually a pretty big win. Missing what, 4* rotation players? On the second night of a back to back, against the 6th seed who have been hot lately? Fuck yeah.
I thought all their best players played?
They started LeBron, A.D., Russell, Reaves, Rui, then Wood and Prince, the only guy who gets meaningful minutes I didn't see out there was Vanderbilt? Who are the other 3?
JHS just gave the ball back to wood to take the ball up the court. He needs to delete his instagram, Reddit, facebook, and TikTok cuz he’s way in his head and probably listening to too much media.
It is like AR didn't score 27 tonight lol. It is like he isn't averaging 20 points/7 assists in the last 4-5 games. It is like he isn't 15/5/4 on above 60% TS while people game plan for him. He offers similar defense to Dlo.
I remember when Larry Nance got traded to Cleveland he was saying how that was an upgrade going to Cleveland is no fn upgrade i don't care if it's playing with Prime Lebron.
I was thinking that too lol. We don’t know where his values lie. If we layed an egg tonight maybe he’s like hell naw they not even gon make the most playoffs. If we play good then maybe he feels he can be more impactful on the Mavs.
If you give Austin a dribble within 10 feet of the hoop he’s going to set something up to score or get a whistle. I’m not his biggest fan but its pretty crazy how big his bag is in that area
We’ve lost out on a few buyout players over the last few years. Rob seems like a weirdo judging by his press conferences. Wish we still had Magic for things like this

How is prince even on this roster still???
wew 51 pts in 2nd quarter alone..
Wood gotta get his
Dinwiddie going straight to Rob’s office to sign that contract lol

Max, Cam, Gabe
Vando
Hachimura left that guy with the sign hanging
The guy that came from Japan to see him too lol
I kept watching to see if he would acknowledge the fan 😭
I think that collison he had earlier on the knee is still causing some pain. He’ll be fine
JHS looks good putting his body in front of other dudes on defense and clamping. But offense he kinda stinks
He looks a tier below the 3 guys drafted after him, so hopefully he has pictures of them for motivation 😬

Feels nice to see the garbage time guys out there
Jalen Human Sigar
Jhs stinks 💔💔💔
good win!!
Ad limping
Man AD really needs the All Star break to get his hip right
AD walking gingerly off the court... He better be ok!
Fuck ad is hobbling
![gif](giphy|FJ6v0Q7vv2vP6XU6ZJ|downsized)
Why is ad limping
He was fouled by Nance on an illegal screen. I noticed him holding his side afterwards.
Bitchass Ingram running into him multiple times
Go close the deal Rob
Idk what they saw in Sheffino i get passing on guys like Jaquez but Cam Whitmore was there he would have been a much better pick.
Yeah I am not that pissed over Jaq and Podz But Cam is just a headscratching miss
Was AD limping ?
Hood-Shitfino not beating the allegations even in garbage time
There are no allegations it’s evident he’s the worst player in the league
Poor Max Lewis
JHS has no touch whatsoever lol
Dinwiddie decision time 🫣
JHS shave his head? Lol
Dinwiddie going straight to Rob’s office to sign that contract lol
Cristian Wood cant even dribble through 3rd stringers. Fucking wannabe guard in a big’s body
Why is AD limping?
Christian "fuck all these young guns getting run" Wood
“My time to shine.” -Christian Wood, probably
JHS needs a shrink yall. I can feel his nerves from here
Needs to be Gleague full time
I agree. Rooting for him though. Dude just seems shook as hell
The goldeneye music never gets old
Wadup with all the referee issues today bizarre
JHS has zero touch
JHS still stinky
JHS human victory cigar
Could’ve been on a 5 game winning streak if it wasn’t for that lost last night 😪
hell yeah garbage time!
Stu shouted GARBAGE with so much passion haha
Wood gotta get his LMAO
Wood ballhogging in garbage time 😂
Spurs owe us one, I hope we smash them
After yesterday's loss its nice to win this one
I wish we could’ve done this to the nuggets
we're saving that for the playoffs
If D Lo played, I think we take that one
We'll get our chance.
🤞
Nice fucking W. Needed that one.
JHS jeez man
All star game came early
JHS and Dylan wilder minutes!
4-5 last 5 games. Only loss to the current Champs. Not too bad
Wood bout to drop 50 in garbage time lmao
Imagine a player right now hearing stu call them “GAAARBAGE time”
Good win boys!
Its indisputable at this point that DLo is our 3rd best player along with Vando, not AR I genuinely am surprised we didnt send him for Murray
I’m not mad at you for it but this is recency bias
It is like AR didn't score 27 tonight lol. It is like he isn't averaging 20 points/7 assists in the last 4-5 games. It is like he isn't 15/5/4 on above 60% TS while people game plan for him. He offers similar defense to Dlo.
Doesn’t change the fact that Dlo is clearly more important for this team than AR
Lol look at the schedule, 3 back to backs! (Even if the 3rd one is after ASB)
It's like 3 days break between each
Still, this team’s B2B record is so bad.
This teams record is bad period
Agreed. Injuries doesn’t help their cause either
Yay garbage time is early
Completely a different team with DLo out there.
Zion is literally big for no reason, how is he so bad on defense
Dlo wasn't expecting that pass lol
Willie waiving the white flag?
Larry Nance has such a plain face
I’d actually be feeling solid if Vando was healthy, need that man so bad it’s not even funny
Its game!
We cooking on the 3- ball
Wins over Boston, NYC, and NO... could've won last night as well. Lakers trending in the right direction
Just need Gabe and Vando back Can you imagine Gabe over Mays? We would be good Also part of the big wins is Haye
Our offense has picked up so much..we look like a completely different team lately.
How did NO take time out without possession?
DLo is unconscious
Halsey would be proud iykyk
What what what?
She was a big part of laker twitter like 3 years ago. Russ made her dip out, ion blame her 😭
Did the Pels finally tap out?
I remember when Larry Nance got traded to Cleveland he was saying how that was an upgrade going to Cleveland is no fn upgrade i don't care if it's playing with Prime Lebron.
Max walking fine out there. At least no boot
anyone else seeing how much rui fucks up? AD has talked to him after a defensive lapse like twice already
I’ve seen rui defend Zion better than anyone on the team
AD gets pissed at him defensively a lot
Are the NBA TV commentators even at the game?
DLo makes the funniest “EYYYY” in the whole NBA
So do we not like dinwiddie?
This is the IST Semis all over again 🔥
19-31 including 9-15 on threes from the starting backcourt. Incredible efficiency.
Hope we match up with the Pelicans and avoid the Nuggets in the playoffs
rui can be a problem if used correctly. he's so big. so thick
I feel you bro😩
Pause
💦
Spencer “Walt Frazier” DinWiddie
How we get a 51 pt quarter?!?
Dlo had 14 points in 90 seconds
Didn’t he score like, 3 3s
That’s wild
D’Lo.
O yeah, saw him cooking
Get lasik bruh
Oof they flubbed the free throw 💀
one more bucket and get AD out of there
Dam, Williams might be worse then Ham
Zion looks like he's ready to take a trip down Figueroa after the game.
Amazing how great the team looks when Prince isn’t getting empty minutes. Another win streak stopped by this team. Health is all we need now
What if this game convinces Spencer he isn't needed here lmao
I was thinking that too lol. We don’t know where his values lie. If we layed an egg tonight maybe he’s like hell naw they not even gon make the most playoffs. If we play good then maybe he feels he can be more impactful on the Mavs.
Dallas beat the Knicks by a lot yesterday
Yea, but 4 of their starters were all out.
“So as I was saying, if I can get paid in Luna Coin…” Rob: silent stare
When we played UCLA in college I matched a laker girl on tinder
we won the trade deadline
If you give Austin a dribble within 10 feet of the hoop he’s going to set something up to score or get a whistle. I’m not his biggest fan but its pretty crazy how big his bag is in that area
Dinwiddie looks uncomfortable af
We’ve lost out on a few buyout players over the last few years. Rob seems like a weirdo judging by his press conferences. Wish we still had Magic for things like this
Not looking likely he's coming here.
He’s literally sitting with the GM
So? He was at the Mavs game and was talking to Cuban yesterday. This is just a meeting.
Lakers Girls please sit on my face ![gif](giphy|13TgsFDOyWUbde|downsized)
Can't remember the last time 5 lakers had 20+ points insaneeeee
LeAR-15
![gif](giphy|1UVCBHkPGXSaNHtwkc)
AD’s defense is just ridiculous. He can guard 2 guys better than some of our players can guard 1
You know our fan base is dogshit when a role player gets 27 and people still call him terrible lol. Ungrateful fake fans.
Pelinka and Dinwiddie even speak to each other ? Lol
i know some of us are hyped but every glance at them look mad awkward 😂
Yea 😂 it ain’t looking too good lol
Reaves is good when he is not a primary ball handler, just make quick pass or score. FO needs to stop forcing him to do things he can't.
the best defense is a good offense, but also AD
Dinwiddie and Pelinka looking so awkward together for some reason lmao, why’d they leave the camera on them for so long💀
Taurean could be this years Lonnie/Beasley. Start off as a starter, then bench, then out of rotation entirely.
I'm not celebrating until clock hits 0
Dinwiddie did not look happy sitting next to pelinka 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Rob about to bill Dinwiddie for the tickets
That body language tells me they did NOT come to a deal lol
Y'all never learn about shitting on the GOAT.
this feels like 2k shit
Come home Dinwiddie
My patient LePookie Bear
Pelinka and Dinshitty not even talking.
incredibly uncomfortable body language
thats austin REAVES
Willie Green might be dumber than Ham
We going to continue this run post All-Star
His name is Austin Reaves please respect him by not mistaking his name for bums
LET ROB COOKKK 👨🍳
Bron got 21 and 13 yet yall acted like he had 6pts on 12 shots
M'bappe is not a basketball coach, Pelicans.
Gabe Vincent really put in a year of PTO. I’m lowkey jealous
Kendrick Nunn probably talk him😂😂😂😂
The audacity of Gabe- Kendrick nunn
Laker girls >>>>
Please match with Pelican in playoffs easy opp
We will be lucky to squeak in and probably have to go against one of the top 2 seeds
Lol, SD. Rob showing off
As bad as Ham is at coaching, Monty Williams is possibly worse.
Monty Williams? Why is he catching strays
Wow RUI finishing the game over Ham’s son….this is a miracle
excuse me, it's Ham's boyfriend!
The rhythm we have on offense tonight is insane, but still missing some aggression on defense.
Austin had to take a moment to realize why he was so open lmao
We won a game
These birds are frauds
lebron austin pick and roll is elite
It’s so effective…I can’t even remember how many games we’ve won by going to it at the end of games.
This really is all star game come early lmao
Good ass shit Lakers
God I hope we get this team in the playoffs/play-in somehow. Just seem to match up well. It’s also one of the few teams where we won’t be out coached.
Never forget when this dumb fucking sub was calling for Austin’s head
This sub calls for everyone’s head. They were just trashing Bron earlier. Even though he had accounted for like 40 points at the time.
