*Lakers won 10 of last 11
NBA fans: Cool!
*Lakers lose 1 game:
NBA Fans: It is over for the Lakers!
They've won 10 out of last 11 and 12 out of last 15 games. It was final game before allstar break, some keys were out and I honestly think they didn't care all that much. They were on vacation mode lol. No reason to take anything from that game.
I don't understand all the "sky is falling" comments. His point is that this loss shows a vulnerability that needs to be addressed if they are going to make a deep run. It's not an overreaction to the loss.
“Lakers in trouble” they lost 1 game😂
Regular season doesn’t matter…it is inevitable that this team WILL struggle in the playoffs as soon as they get matched up against either the Nuggets or the Thunder. Jokic and Holmgren will eat these guys for lunch because the Lakers will have no answer for them. They’ll be able to score, but they’re gonna have a hard time defending teams with high quality bigs…especially in a 7 game series.
Oh lord the overreacting starts 😂😂😂 give it some time lol
This was a throw game lol
Lakers beat the Jazz.
“Their offense is UNSTOPPABLE!”
Lakers get waxed by the Jazz.
“Bron needs more help!”
SIGN JAVALE AND DWIGHT!
We’ll end the season 3rd seed even though I rather be the 4th seed and meet OKC in the second round than the Nuggets
I mean losing AD might have a little something to do with their defense falling off.
It's just one game
LeBron didn't feel like playing
We all know how LeBron is it's one game before the All-Star break
Let’s talk about YOUR sickening level of dysfunction when it comes to NOT having a healthy perspective of things in life. The Lakers have won 32 games and have lost just 20 games, which is good for a 61% winning percentage and are doing this while playing in a stacked Western Conference. What did YOU expect the Lakers to do? Go undefeated? Dude, get a grip.🙄 Get a clue.🤡
THIS is the same tired media bs you get when LeBron James is on your favorite team. The kinda tired media bs that you wished would just go away, like LeBron himself.🤷🏽♂️
They got bored. You would too if you had to go to UTAH.
Signing len was a mistake….dude is garbage. Unless luka and lebron figure out how he can help….theyre gonna struggle on defense
I still think Luka fits better with Mavs. Thoughts?
The reaction to the L is how ik mfs dont play or watch sports fr. Its 1-1 with the luka addition. Let them run it back and as viewers/consumers lets enjoy what we’re seeing
This almost feels like click bait. Luka will fully be himself in a couple of weeks, and he will understand his teammates in a couple more weeks. Then we will see what they're capable of. I mean where are the Warriors videos after they lost to the Mavs with no healthy big men and Kyrie as the only real scorer? 🤷🤦
bro you are strange
If Luka is too concerned about helping LJ this year and next, it might cramp his style.
Paging Boogie Cousins…. Booogie…. Cousins 🤔
Really hope they get Len off the roster and get someone else. Idec who. Could be Bamba, could be dwight, hell they could sign Tiago Splitter for all i care. But get that ABSOLUTE BUM alex len off the team
1st game after the break, Luka needs to come out and take 20+ shot attempts. He is much better when he is aggressive and the attention that will bring to Luka will help the entire rest of the team get easier baskets.
Death small ball lineup for L.A
Luka
Gabe
Vanderbilt
Lebron
Finney Smith
4 really good perimeter defenders (yes lebron is included if he's engaged) grouped with Luka with only vanderbilt as the non-shooter
Can't believe you are on the ESPN trajectory as well😂 Luka has played 2 games on minutes restriction on a new team ( after being injured for almost 2 months)
Lol
Calm down with the click bait tmz titles.
In trouble? What's their record the past 15 or so games(all without AD)? Clickbait trash 😂 This dude has been getting annoying now his headlines matching. Y'all that hard up?? Easy thumbs down smfh
This is literally just for clicks and views lol
Lol definitely not wasting my time watching this
I think they should pick up tacko fall and they would be unstoppable especially for what they need him for he would be hard to stop and consistent and unstoppable when given a chance and he would only need the vets minimum and a way better option than len
They scored 17 out of 30 free throws. That is not Laker like numbers. They lost it there.
They need vando in the starting line up. I feel bad but Reaves need to come off the bench so he can dominate. Luka needs the ball to be effective.
Starters should be
Luka, DFS, Vando, Lebron Hayes
How do yall make videos like this after one loss 😂😂😂
Luka will be a bust in L.A. Luka began an irreversible slide after Dallas dumped him and they dumped him for a raft of reasons starting with his laziness or disinterest on Defense, his poor conditioning, his being focused on padding his own stats and his whining continually to the refs when calls don't go his way. Watch.
Relax, this happens all the time, a team who have beaten af another team 3 times in a row, coming out flat not taken it seriously, especially up to an all star break.
The Lakers have played trash ass defense since the start of the season. The Luka trade somehow made them worse. They ain't gonna do shit in the playoffs. Full stop.
The lakers win , they’re the best team in the nba . They lose , they’re going out in the first round . There’s never any middle ground with the lakers . Their fans and their haters are equally irrational, idiotic, and bat shit crazy …
Collin Sexton wasn't playing in either game.
They can’t defend? Shocker. I guess the casuals are going to be surprised the Lakers have a problem on defense.
This man said if the lakers got walker kessler they would’ve been on the same tier with Boston and OKC 😂😂😂😂😂
It's not over reacting to say this team is terribly balanced and is going to quickly slip out of the top six,
You can't take the rest of the year into account – this is an entirely new team,
Losing Max Christie’s perimeter defense on the 1st Unit at the 2-Guard position specifically.
Lakers don’t have a 2-Guard with previous NBA Playoff experience as a movement without the ball style 3-point shooter to set Pindown & Flare Screens for. That would compensate for poor low post scoring.
I really thought the thumbnail was photoshopped, Luka looks so fat 😂
