Update: Jaxson Hayes has been downgraded to out for tonight.
Lakers got smoked. Tatum gave LeBron and luka the business 😂😂😂
Y not start Koloko?
The injury to Bron is a blessing. Let him sit and rest. Im glad he’s going to miss a lot of the craziness. We got Luka so I’m not as worried. The guys in IR are not there forever so they will be back. We do need AR to return to form while Lebron is out. Health is the most important thing rn.
Still need a good center 💜💜💜💜
Brons quote doesn’t mean anything. He’s not going to say that the Lakers are now F’d….
The best next man starting lineup is Vincent, Reaves, Knecht, Vando, Jemison and the bench is Goodwin, Milton, Reddish, Morris, Len!
Where is Cam Reddish?
Good Test Game against the Best Team in The NBA (in My Opinion)!!!
• BOS is currently a Better Team than US – We shot 14/40 (35%) from Deep & They shot 13/38 (34%) from Deep but, They Hurt US in the 3rd Quarter with Tenacious Defense!!!
• Luka could’ve/should’ve played better but, He still had 34/8!!! And, this is AR’s 2nd Game bac so, He could’ve scored 25ish.
• Let’s get Healthy – Hopefully, get Jaxson bac on Thursday, Rui bac by 3/16 and LBJ bac by 3/22!!! We can still keep that 3/4 Seed; especially bcuz MEM/HOU are missing players and struggling.
Man with that injury report, there's no way we don't get Cam and Len minutes tonight
What we learn is that despite luka being young, he will not last very long in the league. The face with the wince is a familiar look
Brons injury a blessing in disguise , 6games in 8 days is unreasonable 💜💛 rest up for a playoff push 🏆
Makes sense to start Dalton to add more spacing and allow Gabe, a ball handler, step in when Luka or AR need rest I would’ve brought up Koloko
DLO revenge game loading. He’ll drop 40 on 40% from 3.
Luka and Reaves can get it done but we have to pass the ball and not fall into iso ball with Luka
LeBron will be back right after all these annoying back to backs are done. And he’ll be “refreshed” by his time off. Whatever. He’s 40, so he needs to be careful so he can be ready for the playoffs. I hope that is all this is.
Nets have 5 games this week. How many do we think Cam Thomas plays?
If cam doesn’t get out the doghouse this game— just do him a favor and just waive him.
When is Rui back. Need update. 😈
Im intrigued to see DK step up with Luca and build some chemistry and defensive reps
someone need to step up or the lakers will go into the losing lumps
It says Lakers vs Celtics not Lakers vs Nets.
When AL was switched onto guys, we have to stop dancing trying to be pretty. He’s quick laterally but if you do one move then go, he’s a turnstile. We scored everytime we didn’t get pretty with the ball when he came out to guard
why does ur voice sound like that? cringe
Luka could target Derrick White for sure, Derrick White is only 6'4 and isnt as strong as Luka or Lebron they need to be exploiting that more especially if Pritchard is on the bench hes the next undersize matchup, and hes not as strong as Jaylen Brown or Jrue Holiday
You just can't tell me that Dwight is soooo unplayable that he couldn't get a 10 day…like y'all don't want us to be right…he can still play bully ball and he is def still a lob threat…I hate politics I swear…
The Celtics I think used this as a dress rehearsal, based on the last 6 weeks Lakers are a team they can face in the finals, OKC this wed are as well so if they rest ok okc we know it was personal if not these are almost the only real games left against play off caliber teams.
Jaxon's energy🔥, something there's no stat for was badly missed vs BOS. His true value is overlooked often.
Laker to the core🟡🟣, but what was the point of getting Len , if you’re not going to throw a big body in the paint for rebounding or blocking .If age was the issue for not pursuing Howard 39 , look
At Horford he’s 38 , he was rebounding and playing hella defense. So you have Lebron trying to get rebounds, trying to create shots and passes of course he is going to be more injury prone. Don’t sign Len to just to seat on the bench!
What happened to the center Lakers got when that trade failed through? Could he have made a difference in the celtics game?
I have huge flashbacks from 2021 when we started i think like 22–6 and the injuries totally destroyed our title chances and finished 42–30😭
“You wanna throw the Nuggets infront of lakers then let’s go” lol bro the last like 5 years haven’t taught yall anything huh
This is the time we need to use morris center until Hayes get back
Jemison needs to step up. Play Len?
Luka will play as long as he can walk and run. That is who he is. That how he is as a player. Luka is a hardworking person.

I learned that the 2-Guard should have been the one sprinting to the deep corners during Transition Offense instead of Power Forward LeBron James
Why it say lakers vs Celtics on the screen at first when lakers are playing the nets
Cam Reddish 🙏
Defense 1st Mentality Starting-5:
Gabe Vincent
Luka Doncic
Austin Reaves
Vanderbilt
6’10 Trey Jemison
if u wanna win a chip u cant duck anybody in the playoffs
That guy Alex Len, what the hell is he doing on the team?
He's back on his hubris. Gotta love it.
Every top western conference team besides okc got hit with the injury plague the last week or two. I dont think standings will shift as much cause of that so I hope this team prioritizes health over everything cause no Amen for houston and no Gordon for denver is massive.
It's not Haynes that they miss. It was Rui. The size and the shooting.
Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen 4 white boys starting for the Lakers
Curse all injuries of all teams. NBA games are so fascinating to watch if we see all ace players competing.
Vando step slow tonight
