    LeBron was able to fix Wood AND Reddish, he really is the GOAT

  2. ZebraPrintSharkFins

    Reddish finally heard y’all were talking shit

  3. iRockaflame

    This is the Lakers regress their stats to the mean 3 point shooting game lmfao.

    Shoutout Cam Reddish tn was great today.

  4. JilJungJukk

    Lakers’ wins this season 🤝 4th quarter comebacks

    Fun but not sustainable

  5. Vencrest

    After Cam Reddish missed the game winning shot against the Heat two games ago, Reaves said LeBron went up to Cam in the locker room and told him “Nah, that’s a good shot. Situation happens like that again, we’re gonna give it right back to you and knock it down.”

    LeBron repeatedly fed Cam late in the 4th, who hit several clutch 3s and went 5/8 from 3PT overall.

  6. Lebron heard people talking shit about his museum and he felt someone needed to pay.

  7. EutaxySpy

    KD can’t win with these cats, another 39+ minutes game from him where the Suns lose and even with Beal back

  8. keepon18

    Lakers fucking themselves over with giving up sooooo many second chance points

  9. Winter_Pension5226

    Bron funny asf in that post game interview holy shit

  10. Ace12773

    Cam Reddish balling like that is some wild alternate dimension fever dream shit

  11. dys0n_giddey

    LeBron getting paid to promote the In-Season Tournament?

  12. The Pacific division matchups always go so fucking hard

  13. iamgreeneggsandsam

    Just happy to see a classic KD VS Bron matchup.

  14. WhatTheRickIsDoin

    and just wait until we get ~~Ariza~~ Vando back

  15. 0zymand1as-

    Watching Grayson Allen throw a corner pass to Bates-Diop in crunchtime was unbelievable to see lol.

  16. CloneWarsMaul

    Say what you want about Reddish but he is playing hard defensively. If he can develop a more consistent shot he will be a permanent part of the rotation

  17. Top tier entertainment.

    • Vintage LeBron James
    • Vintage Kevin Durant
    • Bradley Beal BALLING
    • Austin Reeves folklore
    • Cam Reddish’s best game of his career?

    The in-season tournament game is valid.

  18. shanmustafa

    Lakers finally made threes, at some point it’ll even out

    very interesting that Dlo pretty much had 20/10 and Darwin still said eh, Austin you go finish as the second ball handler

    dlo – 32%, reaves – 28%, Gabe – 7% lmao, Reddish – 13%, missing wide open corner threes, yeah it’s eventually going to even out

    This was a rough 4th quarter to watch as a Suns fan.

    I feel like KBD was playing some solid defense on LeBron all game and so the Lakers tried using Reaves’ threat in the two man game to create opportunities. Suns help defense overcommitted and Laker role players knocked down their shots.

    To Vogel’s credit he called several timeouts during the run to try to slow down their momentum (something Monty was infamous for failing to do) however he didn’t adjust from that help defense quickly enough.

    On the other side of the ball the Suns got some great looks to start the quarter. Goodwin had a shot go 3/4 of the way down, popped out, offensive board and another missed 3. Beal had a similar double 3 point opportunity on a possession. I loved the hustle on the glass but things just weren’t falling. You could feel the air coming out of the suns tires after so many good looks coming up empty. Vogel brings back Durant and he immediately starts scoring off his isolation plays.

    My issue is that down the stretch it felt like the Suns just decided that nothing was going down without Durant and basically forced his isos for the rest of the game. That kind of hero ball is exhausting and on the other side of the ball Durant was being put on ball against the LeBron Reaves two man game a ton while being defended by Laker role players on the other end. KBD was on the bench in favor of Beal’s scoring threat (he was great early but disappeared in the 2nd half).

    It felt like Durant needed some responsibility taken off his plate on either end because that kind of sustained effort is exhausting whether you’re 35 or 25. Not sure if that’s a coaching decision or Durant trying to do too much.
