Wow Russ is out 😂
Pat helping more lol
RJ: "That was the last three we saw from the Lakers until the 2nd half" 😂😂😂
These were all Lakers highlights lmao. Why weren't they showing guys on the Wolves like Naz Reid, D'Angelo Russell and Jaylen Nowell any love?
I should become an ESPN Analyst. I know as much as they do about NBA :O
Russ needs to get on the same page especially with Pat Beverly
Here go ESPN once again. Always talking about the Lakers/Lebron every 2 seconds. 🤦🏽♂️
they very clearly aren’t contenders now can y’all stop treating them like they are
Fire her
Sign Demarcus Cousins
Better shooting. Im looking at 3 hall of famers and about 130 million dollars of salary and you need someone else to shoot the ball? They had their bubble title and that will be all for this incarnation of the lakers. They needed to rebuild and start fresh next year which meant russ off the books, lebron off the books and trade AD. But they are stuck on the past so they gave lebron an extension. This team is cooked.
ESPN: Lets do a whole segment about the losing team.
"what about the team that won?"
ESPN: Oh, Naz Reid had 22pts. Now back to the Lakers.
37:19 Let’s just take a minute to appreciate how much time and work she put into these videos?
It's unbelievable, and I think they deserve a lot more than that
Five years ago Malika wasn’t even covering basketball. This is just a joke. She is the definition of an opportunist
Now she even forced ESPN to hire her fake story making up sister.
That starting lineup is painful to look at
This line up is terrible!
All well and good saying “they rebounded well” but KAT and Rudy sat and the Wolves pre-Rudy are a bad rebounding team. Outrebounding an undersized Naz Reid at center isn’t super impressive
I think nun and pat should have more chance than russ n also Schroeder
First I'd like to say auto thumbs down for malika. With so many unhappy with the show why is there just 1 thumbs down?? C'mon ya'll speak up. This is why politicians eff with us.
Why do they keep talking ab out the Lakers? Why would fans of a losing team want to keep hearing about how horrible they are? why tun in? We dont hear about the team that plays against them, we just hear the same ole bullsht. Garza was flirting with Money Mayweather… Davis played the 5 but let's not mention Both of the starting Centers for the wolves didn't play, and the one that did had a better game than Davis. NBA media is a joke.
This team ain’t gone have a noun chemistry
Only mf not smiling on the picture is the problem!!!!
Lakers will be fine . Lebron will be healthy this season and will lead them to the finals . #5-6 lakers in 5.
"Blows by Austin Reaves"
Need buddy heild
they need to trade russ for hield and turner. There is no other way around, from what ive seen the likelihood of russ scoring more than 18 ppg in an effective way is very unlikely. Plus idk i just see russ disconnected from the team. Hield can put 15 ppg, shooting, creates spacing, can be a type of caldwell pope that worked in the past for lebron. Add turner for shot blocking and can play the 5, so ad can play the 4. I think if the lakers really want to compete they should pull the trade.
Very glad Windhorst said it; why are you referring to yourself in 3rd person weirdo?? And more importantly in 2022 in a small ball NBA why is your soft aZz still not wanting to play center?? Is AD too stupid to understand floor spacing or that afraid of physicality??
austin rivers 😂😂😂😂
Damien Jones needs to start at the 5 to set the tone on the defense and AR has the best chemistry with the big 3
19:31 Let’s just take a minute to appreciate how much time and work she put into these videos?
It's unbelievable, and I think they deserve a lot more than that
Blows by “Austin Rivers” @Malikah 😂
AD will get injured playing center and be out a significant amount of time this Season
“Blows by Austin Reeves”. I know people mix up names from time to time but how you gone say he blew by his own teammate.
to hear malika is to be annoyed
Don't bother. The Lakers suck! No matter what rotation of sorry scrubs they use, they still suck buns
AD at the 5 = 40 games missed because he’ll either be hurt or act like he’s hurt because he doesn’t like playing center they need spacing so why didn’t they do the turner, heild trade then it’s gonna be a repeat of last year and I can see Westbrook and Davis traded before the deadline
Everyone praying for A.D to get hurt like 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
not sure who the girl in purple is so excuse me if this comes off rude, she needs to pace herself 😂❤️
1:03 "Blows by Austin Reaves!" Haha, you mean Austin Rivers!! 😂😄
ESPN be so shoutout on Russ😭 it’s da preseasonn
All these problems could be solved with one trade. Trade those 2 picks an Russ for Hield and Turner.
