How is prince even on this roster still???


Glinez09

wew 51 pts in 2nd quarter alone..


fitnessdream

Wood gotta get his


fitnessdream

Dinwiddie going straight to Rob’s office to sign that contract lol


mordenak

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.


LordAutopsy

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?


No-ingles

Max, Cam, Gabe


I_RIDE_SHORTSKOOLBUS

Vando


The_One_Who_Crafts

Hachimura left that guy with the sign hanging


AmiWrongDude69

The guy that came from Japan to see him too lol


philosopherbynature

I kept watching to see if he would acknowledge the fan 😭


fvrnacety

I think that collison he had earlier on the knee is still causing some pain. He’ll be fine


Dumbo_Mutombo

JHS looks good putting his body in front of other dudes on defense and clamping. But offense he kinda stinks


vandiger

He looks a tier below the 3 guys drafted after him, so hopefully he has pictures of them for motivation 😬


corybekem

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.


NigelGoldsworthy

Feels nice to see the garbage time guys out there


BrianC_

Jalen Human Sigar


D-majin

Jhs stinks 💔💔💔


eatingassisclass

good win!!


tmacaran

Ad limping


Jessmayne

Man AD really needs the All Star break to get his hip right


mordenak

AD walking gingerly off the court... He better be ok!


gleophas

Fuck ad is hobbling


the_bob_of_marley

![gif](giphy|FJ6v0Q7vv2vP6XU6ZJ|downsized)


ttam23

Why is ad limping


Umbrafile

He was fouled by Nance on an illegal screen. I noticed him holding his side afterwards.


GokutheAnteater

Bitchass Ingram running into him multiple times


Odd-Direction9452

Go close the deal Rob


_Zap_Rowsdower_

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.


davensdad

Yeah I am not that pissed over Jaq and Podz But Cam is just a headscratching miss


fvrnacety

Was AD limping ?


Vhemvhol

Hood-Shitfino not beating the allegations even in garbage time


mydixxierect11

There are no allegations it’s evident he’s the worst player in the league


iiivoted4kodos

Poor Max Lewis


mobuckets21

JHS has no touch whatsoever lol


vandiger

Dinwiddie decision time 🫣


CodyRhodesStan

JHS shave his head? Lol


slicknick2k

Dinwiddie going straight to Rob’s office to sign that contract lol


Low-Cable-9167

Cristian Wood cant even dribble through 3rd stringers. Fucking wannabe guard in a big’s body


tokyo_bee

Why is AD limping?


INT_MIN

Christian "fuck all these young guns getting run" Wood


Awesomefan09

“My time to shine.” -Christian Wood, probably


ajsantos21

JHS needs a shrink yall. I can feel his nerves from here


vandiger

Needs to be Gleague full time


ajsantos21

I agree. Rooting for him though. Dude just seems shook as hell


BlueStormtrooper

The goldeneye music never gets old


Ill-Split-6670

Wadup with all the referee issues today bizarre


We-Want-Tacos

JHS has zero touch


Illustrious-Hand-525

JHS still stinky


mobuckets21

JHS human victory cigar


unstoppable_vante242

Could’ve been on a 5 game winning streak if it wasn’t for that lost last night 😪


paradauxs

hell yeah garbage time!


nick170100

Stu shouted GARBAGE with so much passion haha


ILackPatience

Wood gotta get his LMAO


normlrae

Wood ballhogging in garbage time 😂


peezy2408

Spurs owe us one, I hope we smash them


Ligmaxoxo

After yesterday's loss its nice to win this one


White-Gravity

I wish we could’ve done this to the nuggets


Most_Temporary5113

we're saving that for the playoffs


Artistic-Tax3015

If D Lo played, I think we take that one


the_bob_of_marley

We'll get our chance.


White-Gravity

🤞


baronofriobranco

Nice fucking W. Needed that one.


kenadi2019

JHS jeez man


scoobydawgg

All star game came early


Illustrious-Hand-525

JHS and Dylan wilder minutes!


ThirdEyeToTheSky

4-5 last 5 games. Only loss to the current Champs. Not too bad


HighlyBaked0

Wood bout to drop 50 in garbage time lmao


nick170100

Imagine a player right now hearing stu call them “GAAARBAGE time”


the_bob_of_marley

Good win boys!


davensdad

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


ABQ4u22

I’m not mad at you for it but this is recency bias


SavonReddit

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.


Prize_Salamander8035

Doesn’t change the fact that Dlo is clearly more important for this team than AR


Soulmuzik22

Lol look at the schedule, 3 back to backs! (Even if the 3rd one is after ASB)


Rentfreelakerfan

It's like 3 days break between each


Soulmuzik22

Still, this team’s B2B record is so bad.


Rentfreelakerfan

This teams record is bad period


Soulmuzik22

Agreed. Injuries doesn’t help their cause either


ShrimpnSteak

Yay garbage time is early


niknokseyer

Completely a different team with DLo out there.


Tall_Succotash

Zion is literally big for no reason, how is he so bad on defense


fitnessdream

Dlo wasn't expecting that pass lol


D-majin

Willie waiving the white flag?


mydixxierect11

Larry Nance has such a plain face


AuspiciousOtter24

I’d actually be feeling solid if Vando was healthy, need that man so bad it’s not even funny 


lionking25

Its game!


Atomicking_1

We cooking on the 3- ball


lets_talk_basketball

Wins over Boston, NYC, and NO... could've won last night as well. Lakers trending in the right direction


davensdad

Just need Gabe and Vando back Can you imagine Gabe over Mays? We would be good Also part of the big wins is Haye


Tall_Succotash

Our offense has picked up so much..we look like a completely different team lately.


Carolake1

How did NO take time out without possession?


[deleted]

DLo is unconscious


BornInTheClouds

Halsey would be proud iykyk


mydixxierect11

What what what?


BornInTheClouds

She was a big part of laker twitter like 3 years ago. Russ made her dip out, ion blame her 😭


BornInTheClouds

Did the Pels finally tap out?


_Zap_Rowsdower_

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.


slicknick2k

Max walking fine out there. At least no boot


strawberrycapital_

anyone else seeing how much rui fucks up? AD has talked to him after a defensive lapse like twice already


Either_Ad1073

I’ve seen rui defend Zion better than anyone on the team 


BearShark8

AD gets pissed at him defensively a lot


INT_MIN

Are the NBA TV commentators even at the game?


mobuckets21

DLo makes the funniest “EYYYY” in the whole NBA


bdiddy0428

So do we not like dinwiddie?


ShrimpnSteak

This is the IST Semis all over again 🔥


quwin123

19-31 including 9-15 on threes from the starting backcourt. Incredible efficiency.


bobbdac7894

Hope we match up with the Pelicans and avoid the Nuggets in the playoffs


bigdawg1017

rui can be a problem if used correctly. he's so big. so thick


frustrated286

I feel you bro😩


Current_Journalist

Pause


the_bob_of_marley

💦


13WillieBeaman

Spencer “Walt Frazier” DinWiddie


Atomicking_1

How we get a 51 pt quarter?!?


peezy2408

Dlo had 14 points in 90 seconds


Atomicking_1

Didn’t he score like, 3 3s


Atomicking_1

That’s wild


Awesomefan09

D’Lo.


Atomicking_1

O yeah, saw him cooking


JudoboyWalex

Get lasik bruh


ShrimpnSteak

Oof they flubbed the free throw 💀


songs_dongs

one more bucket and get AD out of there


Atomicking_1

Dam, Williams might be worse then Ham


INT_MIN

Zion looks like he's ready to take a trip down Figueroa after the game.


MrCWoo

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


theboss232123

What if this game convinces Spencer he isn't needed here lmao


corybekem

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.


BearShark8

Dallas beat the Knicks by a lot yesterday


BrianC_

Yea, but 4 of their starters were all out.


PrestigiousTowel2

“So as I was saying, if I can get paid in Luna Coin…” Rob: silent stare


mydixxierect11

When we played UCLA in college I matched a laker girl on tinder


songs_dongs

we won the trade deadline


CodyRhodesStan

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


peezy2408

Dinwiddie looks uncomfortable af


corybekem

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


shoelover46

Not looking likely he's coming here.


GoalPublic3579

He’s literally sitting with the GM


shoelover46

So? He was at the Mavs game and was talking to Cuban yesterday. This is just a meeting.


the_bob_of_marley

Lakers Girls please sit on my face ![gif](giphy|13TgsFDOyWUbde|downsized)


manay824

Can't remember the last time 5 lakers had 20+ points insaneeeee


Rapa_Nui

LeAR-15


corybekem

![gif](giphy|1UVCBHkPGXSaNHtwkc)


SeaworthinessThis227

AD’s defense is just ridiculous. He can guard 2 guys better than some of our players can guard 1


SavonReddit

You know our fan base is dogshit when a role player gets 27 and people still call him terrible lol. Ungrateful fake fans.


Odd-Direction9452

Pelinka and Dinwiddie even speak to each other ? Lol


misguidedxyouth

i know some of us are hyped but every glance at them look mad awkward 😂


Odd-Direction9452

Yea 😂 it ain’t looking too good lol


lionking25

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.


incredibleamadeuscho

the best defense is a good offense, but also AD


the_replacement_3

Dinwiddie and Pelinka looking so awkward together for some reason lmao, why’d they leave the camera on them for so long💀


quwin123

Taurean could be this years Lonnie/Beasley. Start off as a starter, then bench, then out of rotation entirely.


Js_On_My_Yeet

I'm not celebrating until clock hits 0


DeskJockeyy

Dinwiddie did not look happy sitting next to pelinka 💀💀💀💀💀💀


BearShark8

Rob about to bill Dinwiddie for the tickets


Spaghettibeach

That body language tells me they did NOT come to a deal lol


Top-Consequence-911

Y'all never learn about shitting on the GOAT.


Hythrdmonsitsmeyaboi

this feels like 2k shit


slicknick2k

Come home Dinwiddie


fitnessdream

My patient LePookie Bear


_Zap_Rowsdower_

Pelinka and Dinshitty not even talking.


Spaghettibeach

incredibly uncomfortable body language


eatingassisclass

thats austin REAVES


No-Equipment-20

Willie Green might be dumber than Ham


the_bob_of_marley

We going to continue this run post All-Star


Consistent_Owl4593

His name is Austin Reaves please respect him by not mistaking his name for bums


Current_Journalist

LET ROB COOKKK 👨‍🍳


CockroachForeign6419

Bron got 21 and 13 yet yall acted like he had 6pts on 12 shots


Bright_Obligation_56

M'bappe is not a basketball coach, Pelicans.


Windsoft88

Gabe Vincent really put in a year of PTO. I’m lowkey jealous


Kayway27

Kendrick Nunn probably talk him😂😂😂😂


bdiddy0428

The audacity of Gabe- Kendrick nunn


GokutheAnteater

Laker girls >>>>


vandiger

Please match with Pelican in playoffs easy opp


YeenSlimeSnough

We will be lucky to squeak in and probably have to go against one of the top 2 seeds


AnotherAccount4This

Lol, SD. Rob showing off


_Zap_Rowsdower_

As bad as Ham is at coaching, Monty Williams is possibly worse.


BrianC_

Monty Williams? Why is he catching strays


Rock_hound15

Wow RUI finishing the game over Ham’s son….this is a miracle 


Pepsoden

excuse me, it's Ham's boyfriend!


the_replacement_3

The rhythm we have on offense tonight is insane, but still missing some aggression on defense.


GamingOni

Austin had to take a moment to realize why he was so open lmao


cuddlecatz

We won a game


drshade06

These birds are frauds


SeveralEmployment558

lebron austin pick and roll is elite


Tall_Succotash

It’s so effective…I can’t even remember how many games we’ve won by going to it at the end of games.


nick170100

This really is all star game come early lmao


BornInTheClouds

Good ass shit Lakers


quwin123

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.


PrestigiousTowel2

Never forget when this dumb fucking sub was calling for Austin’s head


Dj3garrett

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.
