[ImKobe]

They gotta feed AD vs. this sorry ass defense.

[bison]

Doris is a baddie 8-)

[bison]

Has kyrie or Lebron even touch the ball yet

[ImKobe]

Has kyrie or Lebron even touch the ball yet

bricked B2B bunnies LMAO

[ImKobe]

Just keep running P&R with AD, there's no stopping him.

[Manny98]

Kyrie being reduced to a spot up shooter :roll:

That's what you get for requesting a trade

[Real Men Wear Green]

Luka Doncic is better when a play is difficult.

[meat]

WTF Lakers. Seen like 5 or 6 really bad bricks already.

[bison]

Lakers clanking open 3s while Dallas is hitting contested ones. I don’t expect that to continue as the game goes. I like our chances.

[Indian guy]

LeBron missing bunnies again. Wonder if him hurting his hand in the ASG has anything to do with this....

[Indian guy]

LeBron looks AWFUL again. There's like zero burst to his game. WTF??

[SouBeachTalents]

Lakers can't buy a 3.

[Manny98]

LeBrick :roll:

[ArbitraryWater]

16 1st quarter points, embarrassing.

Cant run an offense through AD.

[dazzer87]

Lebron looks like he doenst give a shi t after passing KAJ..

[Indian guy]

Cant run an offense through AD.

LeBron is easily LA's biggest problem out there.

[ImKobe]

16 1st quarter points, embarrassing.

Cant run an offense through AD.

Mavs are doubling him a lot and they missed all their wide open looks.

Also Schroder is no WB at getting the ball to AD at the right spots & their timing isn't as good either. Lebron has also been AWFUL and missed a bunch of point-blank looks.

[Indian guy]

He looks slow as **** and can't jump. This is the worst he has looked since the start of the season. Lakers season is done if this is the LeBron they're getting the rest of the year.

[ImKobe]

Outscored by 27 from 3 and we're barely a quarter in..

[meat]

Lebron looks like he doenst give a shi t after passing KAJ..

He's just standing around acting like he's the field commander.

[bison]

Lebrons really checked out after passing Kareem.

[dazzer87]

Lebrons really checked out after passing Kareem.

Yeah looks like it….

[theman93]

He looks slow as **** and can't jump. This is the worst he has looked since the start of the season. Lakers season is done if this is the LeBron they're getting the rest of the year.

Lebrons really checked out after passing Kareem.

“It's 23 of the most important games of my career for a regular season,” James said.

[meat]

Shameful. LeBron watched dude go right by. This is hilarious

[Indian guy]

Lebrons really checked out after passing Kareem.

:rolleyes:

He looked terrific in the game after that going into the AS break. Looked great in the ASG too in terms of how he was moving.

The last 2 games he looks 50 years old.

[SouBeachTalents]

What's the record for most missed 3's to start a game? I wonder how close the Lakers are to matching it.

[Doomsday Dallas]

Well.... game over.

That was fun.

[bison]

This is disgusting.

[Indian guy]

I'm a firm believer in a team going how their leader goes. When LeBron's looking like this out there, that's gotta be demoralizing to the rest of the roster too.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Davis sucks man. Sad.

[theman93]

Davis sucks man. Sad.

26/12 with a career high eFG% and TS% sucks? LOL nah. Just can't carry Lebron anymore.

[bison]

Blocked by James! :lebronamazed:

[ImKobe]

Only a 14 pt game after all that.. Lakers are the better team.

[Indian guy]

Notice how LeBron couldn't evade the defender coming off the screen at all. Clumsily ran into his man (got away with an offensive foul) and had to pass it off. He looks AWFUL out there. Awful. Lakers season is done if this continues.

[SouBeachTalents]

Lakers still in it despite that garbage start.

[bison]

14 pt deficit. I can live with that. Hopefully a regression toward the mean is in store for both teams in terms of shooting.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Lebron leading a 30pt comeback at 38? :oldlol:

This guy is crazy

[meat]

These announcers are nut hugging LeBron so hard. Embarassing. "LeBrons teammates dont want to let him down, and that means a lot" WTF

[Indian guy]

LeBron blows another bunny :facepalm

This dude cannot make a layup anymore....

[SouBeachTalents]

Lakers looking like the '04 Pistons right now. Vanderbilt is everywhere.

[ImKobe]

Lebron leading a 30pt comeback at 38? :oldlol:

This guy is crazy

Only starter whos's a negative for the Lakers :kobe:

Davis playing like the MVP

[bison]

Vando DPOY :bowdown:

[G0ATbe]

Lakeshow is back:bowdown:

[theman93]

Only starter whos's a negative for the Lakers :kobe:

Davis playing like the MVP

Yeah but he thinks Davis sucks. Even though he's leading the team in points, assists, and blocks lol

[AlternativeAcc.]

Yeah but he thinks Davis sucks. Even though he's leading the team in points, assists, and blocks lol

Lebron leads in points and assists for the season by a huge margin

So he's the best player on the team right?

[ImKobe]

Bricks another open layup and acts like he's done... cmon man.

[Indian guy]

Another ankle sprain for LeBron. Story of his Laker career. He couldn't jump on that play either, btw.

[meat]

Oooh Le Drama!

[meat]

What a trooper he made it through! I thought he died.

[theman93]

Lebron leads in points and assists for the season by a huge margin

So he's the best player on the team right?

Yes lmao are you stupid?

[Indian guy]

That's the kind of shit you have to do when you can't get past anyone.

[ImKobe]

Lebron leads in points and assists for the season by a huge margin

So he's the best player on the team right?

Lol are you watching the game buddy? Bran looks WASHED.

[Indian guy]

Dumbass commentator NOW says LeBron isn't moving well out there :facepalm. Dude's been like this the entire game.

Lakers honestly have a better shot of winning this game with LeBron on the bench.

[G0ATbe]

LeWolverine taking over:applause:

[Hey Yo]

amazing how much the commentators/media shape the narrative. They completely glossed over the crowd booing Lebron as he got up from injury. ****ing pathetic texcrement subhumans

Not that big of deal, chico.

[ImKobe]

LESPN making excuses for his foot all game

[Manny98]

Dallas :roll:

[Indian guy]

I'd like to see LeBron remain on the bench the rest of the game (no, not because of the ankle).

[Indian guy]

18-5 3pt differential :oldlol:

[ArbitraryWater]

Why tf did he take AD out

[Indian guy]

19-6 3pt differential. That's +39. Has to be the biggest difference between 2 teams this season.

[Indian guy]

Couple of dreadful calls against LA in this 4th qtr that could decide the game.

[Hey Yo]

Looked like a clean block

[theman93]

Bad call. All ball

[SaltyMeatballs]

Light work for Bron

[bison]

Vando clamping doncic :applause:

[FultzNationRISE]

Never seen a player sabotaged by the refs the way LeSugar is.

[ImKobe]

MVP Davis

[Indian guy]

LA's biggest issue pre-trade was by far their lack of length on the perimeter and Ham's bizarre love affair with playing 3-guard lineups. That's obviously been rectified by jettisoning WB/Beverly and getting Vanderbilt/Beasley/Dlo. No more 3-guard lineups, no more James Bryant and you can see the massive defensive improvement.

Not having WB's soul crushing mental mistakes and spacing-killer presence also goes a long way. He was unplayable in close games.

[dazzer87]

AD too good….

[SaltyMeatballs]

Let’s go ADDDDD

[bison]

Admvp

[D-Wait]

How the fukk did the Lakers get back in this? I turned the game off when they were down 20. Glad I checked the scores and got to see the ending at least.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Great game and a goofy turnover by Dallas to end it :lol

This was all about LA though. They're making their playoff surge from here on out.

[SATAN]

Kyrie and Luka Chokecic :roll:

[G0ATbe]

:lol

[meat]

Dallas should be so ashamed!

[bison]

My god Vando is a game changer

[1987_Lakers]

Kyrie choke

[G0ATbe]

Well.... game over.

That was fun.

:lol

[theman93]

Davis and Vanderbilt are gonna be a problem on the defensive end and boards

[Indian guy]

Lakers post-trade are deep and have a lot of length on the perimeter (their biggest weakness pre-trade). They can cover a lot of ground now and really put the clamps on teams.

That and Vanderbilt's infectious energy.

[Full Court]

Dallas is absolute garbage. Zero defense.

[ImKobe]

Great defense by Bran..

[Indian guy]

The **** is LeBron doing defensively on that possession :facepalm. Too much time on the clock to willingly give up an open 3 in that situation.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Davis and Vanderbilt are gonna be a problem on the defensive end and boards

Had a stretch there he did everything. Defense, boards....high energy player with impact to match.

Great pickup from LA.

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers were down 27. How are they winning this game? Jarred Vanderbilt

[L.Kizzle]

Dallas has attempted 49 three's and 42 two's. Smh.

[Bankaii]

Take lebron out if he’s gonna do crap like that.
Literally just stood in the paint. I understand not wanting to foul, but at least guard your man.

[Manny98]

Kyrie and Luka Chokecic :roll:

:roll:

[Indian guy]

Biggest Laker comeback since December 6, 2002.

I watched that LA/Dallas game live and it was ridiculous. ISH was pure pandemonium after that game ended :oldlol:

[Hey Yo]

BOOM!!!

Great team comeback

[SaltyMeatballs]

These new guys have been so legit for the Lakers

[Full Court]

Take lebron out if he’s gonna do crap like that.

Net negative. He's the one holding the Lakers back.

[theman93]

The **** is LeBron doing defensively on that possession :facepalm. Too much time on the clock to willingly give up an open 3 in that situation.

32 boards and 8 steals/blocks between the 2. Will be interesting to see how they do against a team with a greater paint presence

[SaltyMeatballs]

Lakers making that playoff push :rockon:

[Nike D'Antoni]

Vanderbilt was amazing

[SouBeachTalents]

Net negative. He's the one holding the Lakers back.
Tough outcome for this guy.

[red1]

Tough outcome for this guy.

lil guy is hurt :oldlol:

[Full Court]

Tough outcome for this guy.

If he was able to make a difference, he'd have his stacked team at third seed at least.

[SouBeachTalents]

I know his massive underachievement is very painful for Bronie fluffers such as yourself. Therapy is always an option. :roll:

Well, I'm not surprised the Doncic and Kyrie experiment isn't working.
