I would hope Ingles starts to at least give them a chance. Rubio > Exum arguably though Dante at least can defend

[Nike D'Antoni]

Bogdanovic owns Lebron.Lebron never wins in UTAH REMEMBER THIS

[Nike D'Antoni]

I'm so ****ing tired of these weird new jerseys every team has. Did anyone watch the Clippers/Blazers game the other night? It literally looked like they were wearing each other's jerseys, so frustrating to watch honestly.

[SpaceJam2]

Bang

[Keno]

Lebron and lakers playing well

[Xiao Yao You]

Ingles looks good

[AirTupac]

Ingles looks good


Imma make love to ur momma tn

[Keno]

Yes.

This Jazz court/their jerseys blow too.

[Proctor]

Ingles needs to start the rest of the season. O'Neale is an excellent bench player and nothing more.

[bladefd]

Lord Caruso has entered the game :eek: :eek: :cheers:

[scuzzy]

give the ball to Caruso and gtfo his way

[Xiao Yao You]

Yes.

This Jazz court/their jerseys blow too.

The court is cool. Not the unis

[Doranku]

Kuz! Hopefully that gets him going.

[Xiao Yao You]

Ingles needs to start the rest of the season. O'Neale is an excellent bench player and nothing more.

O'neale is their 2nd best defender, 3rd best rebounder and one of their best shooters

[Nike D'Antoni]

Kuzma.

[scuzzy]

classic Kuzma


bricks wide open shots, nails half court buzzer

[LAmbruh]

LeGlass and 1


muh midrange

[Nike D'Antoni]

[Indian guy]

Looked like a good block

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Utahs such a dogsht team:roll: :roll:

i hope they dont make the playoffs would be a waste of a spot

[Xiao Yao You]

It's over without rudy

[G0ATbe]

Just another day in the wild wild west:pimp:

[Indian guy]

He's bricking but it's refreshing to see LeBron in chuck mode.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Kuzma not passing to Lebron on fast break. bravo.

[StrongLurk]

What is Lebron doing :roll:

Jazz are playing like crap. Take Bron out and get AD back in.

[LAmbruh]

Just another day in the wild wild west:pimp:
:lol

LeGaunlet

[Indian guy]

Utah's best offense looks to be chucking 3's.

[LAmbruh]

What is Lebron doing :roll:

Jazz are playing like crap. Take Bron out and get AD back in.
14 pts, 6 asts, team high +14

:sleeping

wild wild west

[StrongLurk]

14 pts 6 asts team high +14


wild wild west

Bro Lebron literally stopped caring and chucked like crazy with bricks and turnovers over like 4 possessions in a row.

Need to rest him on the bench if he is gonna lose focus like that.

Edit: and look at that, Lebron was benched just like I said he needed to be

[AirTupac]

utah is trash

[StrongLurk]

How is that not an and-1 for Dwight???

And then the refs give an and-1 to Mitchell with that crap???

[Shogon]

Is it just me or is Donovan Mitchell kinda fat?

He's got that Melo, Harden, Jokic type fatness to him... clearly he's in good shape... NBA shape at that... but I mean, it just looks like he's packing on too much food.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Utah not coming back and lebron resting.

[brutalBBQ]

Exum looks chunky to but coming of an injury. I think the camera isn't kind to Mitchell.

[LAmbruh]

Utah commentators MVP's

1. Giannis
2. Lebron
3. Harden

He's solid muscle

[AirTupac]

Dwight is better than Gobert this game (again)

[StrongLurk]

Bro I get nervous seeing Lebron go coast-to-coast every game...dude is so old with crazy mileage that I'm just expecting another muscle tear or something.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers blowing 18 point lead

[Jasper]

I see Bron still doesn't know how to walk with the ball ...
:oldlol:

Kuzma :roll:

Two crazy buzzer beating threes this half

[scuzzy]

Kuzma hail mary again :lol

[Xiao Yao You]

Too many missed layups

[Shogon]

Kuzma is such garbage. Lucky prick.

[G0ATbe]

Kuz is always making those end of quarter buzzer beaters:applause:

[Proctor]

Mitchell is so disappointing. He was sensational at first. :rant :rant

[LAmbruh]

Folks have been saying Lebron is old for 17 seasons?
They've been saying his physical game won't age well and deteriorate by 30yo


Yes

[Gotterdammerung]

The more I watch this Lakers team, the more I think they're the modern day version of the 72 Lakers. Similar build of veterans, playing style, dominant defense and clutch scoring.

If they win 33 straight at some point in the season, you heard it here first. :oldlol:

[RealSkipBayless]

I remember when the Lakers smoked the Jazz the first game and Xiao blamed it on home court advantage..

Lakers are in your house playing in a back to back.. LOL

lol calm down


it's literally Bron + AD and washed free agents signed at the last minute :oldlol:

[AirTupac]

Hey Xiao. Tell me how Lakers big men are worst rotation in the league.


Lakers - 30 rebounds
Utah - 16

[329 Services]

Last time Lebron won in Utah was 2010 https://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pgl_finder.cgi?request=1&match=game&year_min=2004&year_max=2020&is_playoffs=N&age_min=0&age_max=99&opp_id=UTA&game_location=A&season_start=1&season_end=-1&pos_is_g=Y&pos_is_gf=Y&pos_is_f=Y&pos_is_fg=Y&pos_is_fc=Y&pos_is_c=Y&pos_is_cf=Y&player_id=jamesle01&order_by=pts

The family grows stronger with each Anthony Davis shot block.

[FireDavidKahn]

The KANG reigns supreme:bowdown:

[Xiao Yao You]

Be easier if they didn't put themselves in big hole every game

[StrongLurk]

Lakers can't keep taking their foot of the gas when they get big leads. Have done that way too much this year.

[Xiao Yao You]

Hey Xiao. Tell me how Lakers big men are worst rotation in the league.


Lakers - 30 rebounds
Utah - 16

The bigger team with more boards. Worst centers not frontcourt douche

[StrongLurk]

How is that not free throws for AD???

These refs are terrible.

[Nike D'Antoni]

I dont see any talent in this Utah team, other than Bogdanovic

[LAmbruh]

KCP bricking layups of gorgeous Lebron feeds


pathetic

[Xiao Yao You]

I dont see any talent in this Utah team, other than Bogdanovic

Good thing you aren't a gm or scout

[RealSkipBayless]

Hey Xiao. Tell me how Lakers big men are worst rotation in the league.

They bout to give Big Rudy the 250 mil max soon. :lol

[scuzzy]

Lebron's playmaking is just on another whole level this season

[Proctor]

This Jazz team is rough.

Is Deron Williams available? Hell, even Ronnie Brewer?

[jlip]

Lebron is toying with the Jazz with these passes.

[Keno]

back to back wtf JAZZ LOL

[DMAVS41]

They bout to give Big Rudy the 250 mil max soon. :lol

Nah, they'll find a way to keep him and give him less I think.

[AirTupac]

Utah Jazz is trash AF

[StrongLurk]

LeBrick tonight, good thing he is goatish in the paint.

Lakers foul way too much.

Holy hell FOUR times this game the refs have taken and-1s away from the Lakers.

Refs need to be fined for this kind of crap.

[Xiao Yao You]

Nah, they'll find a way to keep him and give him less I think.

If he's smart he'll leave

[scuzzy]

Jazz and Denver are going to get the 2014-2018 Celtic + Raptors playoff treatment

aka

"smh these teams suck :mad: "

[bobopenguin]

#1 PF Davis is killing #1 C Gobert.

[scuzzy]

LeBron inspiring AD to do that:bowdown:

[Xiao Yao You]

[LAmbruh]

Lakers on with crazy momentum shattered by Kuzma travel

[StrongLurk]

LeBrick again

I don't understand how Lebron has played so much basketball and never become a good, consistent shooter.

[Indian guy]

LeBron's jumper lol

[Indian guy]

Boy Kuzma is all kinds of dumb lol

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Gobert hadn't guarded him most of the night

for good reason. Rudy wouldve been fouled out by now

[StrongLurk]

Yo these refs are literally trying to give the Jazz this game.

[LAmbruh]

for good reason. Rudy wouldve been fouled out by now
sick avy

[StrongLurk]

Yo Lakers can win a chip if Rondo is going to be a 40% three point shooter all year and become like old Jason Kidd.

[Keno]

easily rondo's best game.:applause:

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lebron 9 - 21
AD 9 - 11

AD 26 Pts
Lebron 20
All with 10 less shots

[Xiao Yao You]

for good reason. Rudy wouldve been fouled out by now

Maybe. Foul trouble isn't a big issue for him and he's had plenty of success against him

[Keno]

what a great game, on the second night of a b2b. :applause:

Rondo has been superb the last two games.

[Shogon]

Rondo has been superb the last two games.

Yeah maybe they should keep him. He really doesn't fit with LeBron though. I'm not even close to changing my mind on that.

But Kuzma has gotta go. lol. He's arguably dumber than McGee.

[Bosnian Sajo]

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

:oldlol: @ Kuzma

Its garbage time but he's never been better on defense. Block party.

[Doranku]

Kuzma with some highlight reel defensive plays in garbage time. :lol

[Shogon]

Nevermind.

What the **** is that a tag that some street gang in LA uses? Explain.

I mean it's a ****ing halfway obscure emote from a twitch.tv browser extension...

[KOBEtherealKing]

Pelinka better be working to see who can be that backup wing

[LAmbruh]

I win again

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]
