The Lakers are not shooting a ton of 3s so I don’t know why Udokas surprised that the Lakers have been physical the past two games against them, they do it against every team lol

I understand since we have been missing a lot of big bodies for the season, but physicality is definitely part of the Lakers MO

Bro is sitting there looking like he’s gonna cry any minute while calling the lakers soft.

he loves doing stuff like this to challenge the team

The fact that he thinks the Lakers aren’t a physical team might have something to do with why they got punked.

This guy sucks. Always gives off cringe vibes, probably buys “Viking” branded shit cause he thinks it makes him more hard.

This is something that you don’t really want to say towards a LeBron team, even at this point of his career.

I feel like we’re definitely above average on the physicality spectrum.

The Lakers are a physical team but at the same time I thought the Rockets in several instances got “punked” by Russell and Reaves, who aren’t among the Lakers’ more physical players generally, so I can see where he’s coming from.
Russell in particular is someone who historically you can throw off with more physical play and he looked very comfortable taking the ball away from Rockets players this game and had one play where he stole the ball, talked trash to the Rockets bench and the Lakers broadcasters said they were surprised he didn’t get a technical

tbh I think he’s speaking like this to motivate his team. Lakers are obviously a physical team but it sounds like some shit you’d say to piss off your team and get them angry and focused

This dudes a coach but doesn’t know how his opponents play?
shanmustafa
Ime is a good coach
but am i allowed to say the Celtics were not any less stupid under him than any other coach? that game 7 vs the heat where they were up like 12 with 2 mins left and it came down to a Jimmy three was one of the most insane fucking things i had ever seen

Fake tough guy. Go cheat on your wife again asshole.

Given who this statement came from, I couldn’t take it any less serious.

LA team that does not shoot threes and has major difference in ft shots per game? I wonder how they play

lmao i didn’t know this coach was so immature with fake tough guy vibes

These comments are so cringe, he’s obviously just sending a message to his own team. Look at the change of the rockets defense from last year to this year, ime is a good coach and he’s trying to get his young squad to buy into being more physical.

Lakers are one of the most physical teams in the league they litterally live in the paint

Basically calling LeBron and AD soft.

Last year’s Grizzlies’ team would disagree with that sentiment.

Are people missing the coded message/swipe at LeBron after his ejection, or is that just me?

With Cam and Vando back it changes the makeup of our team. With a full squad, we will punk a lot of teams that wore us down before.

What team in the current nba is known for “punking” people?
