Glad you're finally waking up to the talent on this roster. Rob built a pretty good team without using many resources. We might still be one more defensive guard or maybe a extra center away from the depth I would like for a championship run, but overall it's a good team.
"To JJ's Reddick" is a funny slip of the tongue. I think I'm going to use that phrase now.
Lakers cut dead weight with LeBron and are on the rise
Do yall think Bronny can become Derrick Jones Jr? Trying to think of a good comparison for him
I just appreciate JJ lighting a fire under these guys. The physicality is shocking last few years we had to beg them to play hard. You shouldn’t need motivation to play hard as a pro fr. but fuck it thank you JJ
Nick smith jr is cold!! So happy the lakers have him
Yes lets put them in #1 contender already. Esp team is backed by Refs and 2 Top FT Mechant/Foul Baiters on the team. But lets be honest teams that set their top players then the opposing team eased off just like what happened to the Warriors vs Bucks and Pacers..its the Reg Season Man
Nah nah, don’t hype LaRavia now! You said you wanted DFS, and Lakers needed him at all costs. So far DSF hasn’t even played a game this season. lol miss me with all that
What's making the Lakers a better team is called "Coaching" and nothing more. You can have all top quality players you want but you can still fail to make it.
Maybe I’m alone, but I knew they would be this good. Guys told me I was crazy all summer 😂
No excuses for Lebron anymore. He has always had a ream but his fans always uses excuses.
The team building an awesome culture makes them so fun to root for.
People still acting like Bronny is just flatly terrible are announcing to the world their ignorance. His last few games he's looked like a real back end rotation player and really contributed to wins. Noone is saying he's been amazing. But pretending he shouldnt be in the NBA is just pathetic.
JAILblazers….
Smit Jr has a skillset no other Laker has. Quickness to just beat a player and create 5 on 4 on the backside without a pick
Bronny is also very strong
LeBron is a bad defender we would be worse defensively if he was playing.
jason timpf jovan buha trevor lane lakers in 5🖐
Spitting facts!
If it came down to keeping Bronny or Nick Smith Jr I would hope Lakers keep Smith Jr.
