swagtime lakers

Huh?
Anyways team continues to disappoint. I didn't expect horford to be an elite rebounder but I'd have taken at least average. God he sucks at it.

Hortford needs to return that check
Celtics still need 4328094234 pieces

He's literally the only person on the team who played above average D all night. Crowder and AB apparently quit playing on ball defense this year.

Whatever. That's to be expected off a 5 day layoff. Enjoy your free win Lakers. Fuck off, schedule makers.

Didn't get to watch the game but based on the box scores it looks like an ugly AF win. Julius with 20 boards tho.

Wait until the dude gets bigger.
Both teams are punching bags for the Cavs in the playoffs, nothing personal. But hey, at least the NFL is finally heating up. #rolltribe
What? Lakers were playing on a back to back road. And not the close kind. You guys had 5 days of rest.
But I do agree with fuck off schedule makers. We've had the 2nd hardest schedule so far (1st being the Mavs). NBA really wanted the Lakers to tank one more time lol.

Just to be frank, Lakers won 10 games last year on February 2nd.
19 year old kid already having the responsibility of guarding the best players on the floor. His offense will come around as will his strength. Next offseason will benefit him greatly in that regard.
For now however, the fact that he's already a great defender is a very good sign.
2nd in SOS and already winning 10 games. More experience for the young guys as the season progresses + an easier schedule throughout after mid December. If this team can stay around .500 until that easier part of the schedule comes, I'll be giddy.
Yeah, and he's only a rookie.

Those free throws though....
Steph Curry should come back and play in his childhood home of Toronto.

Lakers-Age, we have someone salty over us beating them again.
This is like that scene in Coming To America with Mortimer and Randolph.
"We're back." 😢
porzingis is good but KAT is the better player of the two
Lol what.

I think the cool byproduct of Luke working dat magic with the Baby Lakers is, I have been able to mentally transition seamlessly out of the Kobe Era.

Yes you are back at .500. Congrats.
Just give me Durant and I'll be happy lol.
Russell
Ingram
Durant
Randle

The height and length of that lineup would be insane. Although I think Paul George is much more likely. Which is not bad too I guess. 😂
.500 after 20 games in the West with the 2nd hardest schedule in the league from a team that was expected to win 18-24 games at most.
Thanks for the congrats.

Bro, we haven't sniffed .500 for what seems like 28 years. (losing seasons are like dog years for Laker fans).
We're in the Siberian wilderness chopping wood, Rocky 4 style, right now.

Legit question, y'all think Steve Kerr would be 10-10 if he was coaching this team?

Shooting wasn't so good tonight. Especially from 3's. Did Chicago make one?

You are complaining about having 5 days off before you play an injury riddled team on the back end of a back 2 back at home?
LowlySmokeGuy

I am. 5 days off is not normal in an NBA season other than the all-star break, so I would imagine some timing and flow was disrupted. 0,1,2 days rest are what teams are accustomed to.
I haven't read some of the previous pages but has anybody seen this?

I'm so happy for this man. I hope he makes a team and makes an impact. What a story that would be!
Heck, I would love for the Lakers to give him that shot. Zero risk and potentially incredible reward if he makes an immediate impact.

Though the box score may not tell otherwise in this game, judging by this season it's been close. Very close. Porzingis increase in scoring volume and efficiency has been remarkable. While defensibly he was better last season, he's still better than KAT at that department.
Also watching the Knicks, I really like thier bench. Jennings is playing better than Rose and those rookies are hustling.
Melo just needs play better. Less isos more catch and shoot and playmaking.

I know most people would call me crazy but I would trade Jimmy Butler. Dude always seems out of place from the game that is played today. And he's not good enough for the dumbness I see in him in court.
Hoiberg is trash. This Bulls team will always be hot trash next to any decent team. His value will rapidly decrease in a few years.

Butler looked like a GOAT against the Lakers in the previous game.
