I wish I had Max Strus confidence jesus christ.
Really went 0-7 while the commentators kept on saying "shooters shoot". I honestly just cant believe that Gabe Vincent and fucking Max Strus are two guys in our rotation this season
It’s nice seeing Nunn pop off
Had 15 in the first Q and definetly provided a great cusion for us going forward
the lakers lost but kuzma was damn near everywhere at the end there. That 4th was the definition of tired my god
He had crazy defense on Jimmy in that one possession and he was torching us as well
First off, why would you make that throw in, secondly I hate the Lakers but the face by Caruso where he looks like he was tearing up makes me wish he would have made that
Strus did his best to save you LAL Also that 4th quarter was frustrating as fuck to watch.
How many straight Laker games now shooting under 30% from 3? 6 of our last 7 games apparently weve shot under 30%
No Schroder and AD and only lost by two. Im okay with this loss. GG Miami
Exactly what I was thinking and the team is going through a slump, we’ll be fine ..
i cant believe they were really discussing that "foul" on duncan potentially being a flagrant...
The Lakers genuinely have a bottom 5 offense in the NBA without AD in. Schroeder was out too but the lack of ideas and shot making is very very concerning.
Lakers fans want me to believe this team is as good as last years. I just dont see it.
Thing is we were this bad mid regular season last year. We got more talent just been shooting dog shit. That should improve. If not we’re losing first round. But that was true last year too.
So many questions down the stretch. Why did Wes shoot a 3 down 2 instead of going to bron? Why did butler just not move on the inbounds and have to try and catch a tough pass?
LeBron played like shit this game. If this is how he looks while AD is out, Lakers are in for a very rude awakening
Just as expected, ~~MVP candidate and min top 2 best player of all-time LeBron James~~ Alex Caruso takes the game-tying shot.
Everyone on Lakers is so fucking hesitant to shoot a three damn
Thought the offensive foul on Robinson was a bad/questionable call... seems like KCP ran into his elbow lol.
Even when this team wins, they seem to just barely scrape by. Theres never been a 4th quarter lead that felt safe, not even the last Kings one. Heat need to get their shit together and close out without giving away turnovers and easy shots.
The struggle is real for the Lakers without AD. Bron cant carry mediocre anymore. 35% from the field.
Fuck ESPN. Absolute embarassment of a coverage. They spent more time talking abiut ADs shirt than they did about the Heat.
he JVG says Lebrons a great player when he defend Jimmy in MIAs last possession and the pass to Caruso in the end. its like "whut?"
Lol. First Lakers game? We were blowing them out and Harden was playing like a beast and all they talked about was “how amazing Lebron is” and how he deserves the MVP. Just shoving it down everyone’s throat. I feel like I’m watching the WWF with a
LeBron shouldnt be leading the MVP convo. It should be Embiid or Dame now
alright, consulting my lakers rules here, it appears this game doesn’t count and the heat are merely “regular season champs”
That was the saddest game I’d ever seen. Every open 3 was a miss for the lakers. I feel for y’all man
That wasn’t a pretty game but we got the win. This one was a good win. Great game vs the lakers.
People mocked embiid for crying in game 7 of the conference finals. I wonder what people are going to do with Caruso?
I hope all the people complaining that ADs stats are a little down see how important he really is to this team.
Kuz really earned my respect this season. Dudes really stepping up for the team
Why is Lebron so scared of the moment? Just fucking take over dude. Guy resorted to Wesley Matthews, KCP, and Carushow down the stretch. Not a good look
Open looks threes by shooters in infinitely better than your superficial 2k takeover bullshit. I bet youre the type of person who believed that LeBron shouldnt have kicked it back to Danny Green.
I agree with you to a point, but he could also just be trying to give these other guys the confidence to step up in big moments. He’s Lebron, he’s proven he can take over at any point he wants. That being said, I wish he had been more aggressive tod
Kobe or Jordan wouldnt of passed it. ​ ​ Dont take it personally im just messin around.
Lebron afraid of the moment again. Deferring to Matthews and Caruso. Cant make that up.
Since we’re just making things up now: Dame was afraid of game 5 so he faked an injury and left the bubble on a plane before his team.
Lakers roleyplayers cant make a fucking open three for their life. Kuzma, Morris, and Wes had multiple open oppurtunities to hit super open threes.
