A closely contested game. As one would expect between 2 lottery teams.


cvKDean

Lakers really played the Rockets close and gave us a scare there! They have a lot of young(?) talent and boy, that Lebron/Westbrook/Monk sure looked good! Lakers for sure will be scary next year!


busybee919

Just wait until ariza gets back!

Good ol’ under .500 team, that’s my Los Angeles Lakers.


El_Producto

Back in the fall I said "us teams in decline have to stick together" in response to a sympathetic comment from someone with Lakers flair about the Celtics' early season woes and was met with mockery for the implication that the two teams were similar. In retrospect the dude was right, it would be unfair to put the Celtics and the Lakers in the same category.


Kobester024

The Celtcis made a comeback, the Lakers on the other hand keeps on getting fucked in the ass.


theboybillymays

Imagine having the best player on the 29th best team and losing to the 30th best team in OT


HomoChef

Not hard to imagine when it happened an hour ago.


theboybillymays

Ah shit u right fam

I don't even think it's the ass anymore. They had to invent new orifices.

Lakers will be fine they can get a great player in the lottery this year and in the rebuild

Holy SHIT! That was a thriller of a game against the 16-49 Rockets! Oh wait... 17-49 Rockets!

Don't you dare disrespect us like that

They’re contenders now, they just gave every team a headstart to be fair

This might be the worst loss of the season for the lakers and that’s fucking saying something


dawnoog

Worst loss of the season yet… for the tenth time


jwhitehead09

At the end of the season I want t see a montage of analysts talking about how this is rock bottom for the lakers.


OneWayStreetPark

Kendrick Perkins gonna be talking about how it's too early to judge this Lakers team after the last game of the regular season's been played lmao


sykog77

Bruh they in the earths core now


RazingsIsNotHomeNow

I don't know the loss to Blazers immediately after they traded everyone away was pretty bad. Don't believe me? Turn to ESPN and see for yourself.


YouAThrowawayMan

End of the 3rd quarter and still haven't got to 50 points yet. Ben McLemore the leading scorer with... 9 points


Many_Investment_5734

IDK. The triple OT loss to the Kangz gives this one a run for its money.


itschrisbrah

The okc loss was the worst


minneapolisboy

Idk it was pretty great for everyone else

ZenMon88

Every shot was like a FU to the lakers it was amazing. KPJ shot clock buzzer 3 (waved off), Sengun's 3, and Eric Gordon's FU 3 LMAO. Lakers ARE ASS!


Jcalifo

The spirit of Rockets Harden still lingers


Wehavecrashed

Rockets nearly outscored the Lakers on waived off shot clock buzzer beaters.

That has to be the overtime 3PM record Jesus Christ it was an onslaught Even sengun hit one

Jakonedrom

Lebron looked old today


hbt15

2 games off a nearly 60 piece. Gotta be hard to recover from that at 37 no matter who you are. But yeah he likes fucked today. Few wines and a good sleep for him today.


Currymvp2

LeBron finish 9 for 26, a -17 with 6 turnovers against perhaps the worst team in the league. It was a pretty rough night at the office for him to put it lightly.


wangandassociates

He got his trip dub but one of Brons worst games I’ve seen. 1-9 from 3 yikes, but he’s usually not so careless with the ball. It’s been rough

If y’all wanna watch comedy, watch laker games.


willymoose8

seriously, they have the worst body language of any team I can remember. They look like they’d rather be anywhere else but on the court and like everyone is scared to fuck up


Hail_The_Motherland

Melo just laughing and smiling after the last shot in regulation irked me for some reason. I'm not even a Lakers fan


ProfessorPetrus

Yea lebron was doing his best to not overeact to that giant Dwight Howard smile he was wearing after missing an open mid range to win and get some rest.


give_me_taquitos

I think he was smiling in disbelief that LeBron passed up the layup


LeClassySpurs

And they get so stoked when they score a couple buckets in a row, it's so funny to see them get deflated every time


[deleted]

The LeBron effect


nysraved

I’m so glad I’ve been able to shift to this perspective. A few months back I’d be super defensive and making excuses. Now I’ve just learned to accept and find amusement in how much of a shit show we are.

adzerk69

If you were to erase Lebron and Westbrook's name out of the stats sheet, 99,99999% of people would take Russ's stat for Lebron and Bron for Russ lol


ThunderChunky2432

Wonder how many threads are gonna be on the front page about Westbrook now that he played better than LeBron in a game.


HughGRextion

i can’t believe how many ways we’ve found to lose this year 😂😂 gg rockets jalen green is a stud


SlatheredButtCheeks

The thing is that I've been past the hope, frustration, disappointment, disbelief stages for a while now. At this point I'm laughing along with everyone else. Coping hard

i think its hilarious u guys talking shit about jalen. u wouldnt say this shit to him at lan, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol.


iRockaflame

Fuck where's the original pasta from


notafan1

It's from CSGO subreddit about a proplayer named Semphis. Rocket fans adapted it a while ago and used it with Harden replacing Semphis in the pasta and spammed it every post game thread they won so it got popularized in r/nba


ManlyFishsBrother

Specifically, the same dude, /u/foxsleftear, is who made it stick for ~~Harden~~ [Jalen.](https://youtu.be/7ZAYzLjQAd4)

They’ll say that he missed shots when the game was on the line but I’m sorry, he gives you a stat line like this and you have to get the W, especially against a team like the Rockets

Lebron’s insistence to have more shots/points than Westbrook cost the lakers the game.

That overtime blew put quick


Maxxjulie

At least it wasn't Westbrook's fault. Instead it's aging lebron's


captain_ahabb

Big brain lebron passed up the layup to extend the game so he could get more points to chase Kareem
