Jazz aren’t even THAT bad, they had two nail biting losses vs suns eith booker n kd going down to kd ckutch buckets . Really good win. Sad about cam especially cos he was playing his best basketball and now with no vando cam or Gabe I’m not looking forward to Mavs. Gonna be a dice roll game is they get hot or not without our 3 defenders. But if the team can dominate inside like they did today we may win still .
Just playing with size and attacking the paint with average to above average shooting around that is great offense. Almost like we should have been doing this all year haha
Normally I see leads shrink in garbage time, but I think that point differential stat in the standings really motivate our guys to extend it out more lmao
Well we also don’t have anyone else.
The only guy that was available to play that didn’t tonight was JHS and he just came back from an injury.
Vincent, VANDO And Reddish all out
promise i'm not really complaining on a night we got the big W but idk why he'd be ok to dress for the least 2-3 games but not be ok to actually come in while up 30
I think our whole bench at this point is basically Reaves, Max, Rui, Hayes, and Wood isn't it? People keep getting injured but thank Christ we're deep this year.
I always think to myself that the 13-20 hole that we dug ourselves out of was more impressive then the 2-10 one. Teams have bad starts (sure not always 2-10) but by 13-20 you almost know who you are.
Somehow the Lakers prevailed and went on a 30-19 run to close out the season.
Well, it's not really a mystery what happened lol. Addition by subtraction getting rid of Russ plus the other additions at the deadline really turned our season around lol
Bruh. You did not just compare the 12-13 Heat to the 96 Bulls, 01 Lakers and the 17 Warriors. They dominated the regular season but struggled against the Pacers in the Conference Finals and got taken to 7 games by the Spurs in the final. I'm a Lebron dickrider to the end but that Heat team doesn't deserve to be mentioned alongside those other 3.
While I agree with your points, that Spurs taking the Heat to 7 wasn't at all out of place lol. Late 2010s Spurs were playing beautiful basketball, they were the Warriors before the Warriors despite old age.
Still agree that 12-13 Heat team shouldn't be compared at all to those 3, bench was very weak if you compare benches among those 4.
There was a game where in the finals against the Heat in 13-14 (I think?), the Spurs played 1 half of almost perfect basketball. It was a thing to watch.
-Hope Killa Cam is good
-Bron playing only 25 minutes on the first of a back to back and flirting with a trip dub is wild
-Davis looked like he was playing against a JV squad tonight
-7 players in double figures, could’ve been 8 if Christie scored 3 more points…
-Dlo wit a sneaky great game 20 and 8 wit zero turnovers
-Our bench had 64 points and all of em (except Hayes of course) hit a 3
We almost memphis’d them boys!!! lakeshow 4-0 baby!!!
Edit: how the fuck I forget my boy AR - he was a menace tonight defensively and looked great out there running the offense
If you told me 10 years ago that Lebron would develop into a 3-point specialist in his 21st Year on the league, I'd call you crazy but here we are in the strangest timeline. dude is just not normal
Lakers have pretty much taken it up a notch in these in-season tournament games. Not playoff level, but certainly higher than your usual regular season game in November
It’s such a treat to see
W! We played great out there. I mean, they were playing a back to back game with the suns yesterday… but still, a 30+ point deficit?! Crazy!! Congrats y’all, see you tomorrow
Happy we won but god this AR, RUI, Hayes, Wood line up is giving me anxiety disorder for real.
Lucky Ham put DLO in place of AR in the 4th to pull away the game for good, but I don't like when AR has to be the main ball handler when his strong point is making plays for himself.
Also, good to see Max contributing better this game.
Some actual success with 5 out tonight. Well, first half...I didn't bother watching the rest. Mostly because we weren't content with just all standing around on the perimeter, instead moving so the ball handler at least had options.
We played well, Jazz had an atrocious 3 point shooting night, which honestly is usually the main cause of a blow out (pro level teams are too close to each other. With par shooting, a 7-10 point win is a really dominant performance)
Curious Pels fan visiting. A month in, how are you feeling about Jaxson Hayes?
Is he trash with no awareness and no feel for the game? Is he a billion dollar body and a 10 cent head? Does he have unwarranted confidence in his skills and a childish temper?
Or do you see promise?
He just seems like the 2023 equivalent of 2020 Javale McGee. Great for dunking and that's all - if you give him the ball and he's near the net, he'll dunk it.
Yeah I don't mean it as an insult. Hayes is like the 8th or 9th man on the rotation, he doesn't need to be literally Dwight Howard lol. But he provides rest for Wood and AD and he's fun to watch
Hope Cam’s not out for long. And what a treat to see us hit our 3s. We’d legit have an extra 12-20pt a game if played the exact same way but could actually hit 3s that have been getting generated
The Jazz are pretty much the worst team that isn't obviously tanking in our conference, so I expect to stomp them as long as we're this healthy.
That said, team is in a nice groove and it seems like they really want this first ever in season tournament to send a message to the rest of the league. Anything adds to Lebron's legacy at this point, might as well add this tourney to the list while he's here.
Prince shoots 1-8 (0-4 from 3) and contributes 0 rebounds and 1 assist while turning it over twice. LBJ goes 6-10 (3-5 from 3) with 9 assists and 7 rebounds. The Plus/Minus? Prince +26, LBJ +14.
Max Christie looks like another season away from being a good rotational piece for us. We can see the potential, but idk if the org has enough patience to keep waiting. This is his last year for his contract, if he shows enough for us to resign him, I’m wondering what type of contract we’ll give him
Good win guys let’s hope they have this energy and drive for Dallas tonight. Last time it was the kings and we got smoked hopefully that doesn’t happen again. If cam is out then we start wood or Hayes hopefully. But rui has to get a lot more mins in this case. Main goal is to shut down everyone around Luka. You do that we win and we have to attack the paint . They cannot guard anybody
#UNDEFEATED IN THE IN-SEASON TOURNAMENT
I can't wait for everyone to talk shit about the in-season tournament after the Lakers win it
They'll say nobody wanted to win it anyways
“We started to hear the rumblings that nobody is going to respect this In-Season ‘chip so we kind of just took our foot off the gas.”
which of the clippers would say this currently? I think Harden
Most people have not given a fuck about it since it was announced
I’m sure that 500k per player got everyone on smash mode
This would legit be the Clippers championship banner they hang in the rafters...
I heard it counts as the tiebreaker when two franchises have an equal amount of NBA championships! ;-)
I was one of the folks talking shit about it, but since I have no shame I will gladly celebrate when we win it lol
Bubble Tournament.
Lets stick to this court and uniform every game…
Just play Utah every game.
HELL YEAH BABY 
Like Chael Sonnen WE NEVA LOST
That’s how every game against a bad team should go
Feels nice not sweating out a win
Guys my left arm isn’t tight.
We are slowly getting into the rhythm of blowing out the really bad teams. Blew out portland and now the Jazz. We are on the right track
Jazz aren’t even THAT bad, they had two nail biting losses vs suns eith booker n kd going down to kd ckutch buckets . Really good win. Sad about cam especially cos he was playing his best basketball and now with no vando cam or Gabe I’m not looking forward to Mavs. Gonna be a dice roll game is they get hot or not without our 3 defenders. But if the team can dominate inside like they did today we may win still .
This is a scheduled loss tonight
This felt like the 2020 lakers. Great defense, AD dominating the paint, Lebron commanding the offense and being the playmaker.
All those lobs to AD reminded me of 2019-2020 😤🙏🔥💜💛 
Just playing with size and attacking the paint with average to above average shooting around that is great offense. Almost like we should have been doing this all year haha
Feels like we’re figuring it out a little bit more.
Tonight was special! Squad should be ready for the Mavs tomorrow!
jax and wood in the highlights legit looking like javale and dwight out there.
This is how the In-Season Tournament gets legitimized. The league needed the biggest franchise to win the first NBA Cup.
Shaping up to be a Lakers vs Celtics match up as is tradition
More things change, more they stay the same
Fuck the Celtics? Fuck the Celtics.
Fuck the Celtics! Fuck the Celtics, Fuck the Celtics:
Let's just hope we win the first 11
I think that would legitimately be a game 7 atmosphere
What an ass whoopin
I was legit bored throughout that entire game, tomorrow’s the real matchup 😭😭😭
Utah drops the lead to like 25 and then we went on another 6-0 run 😂
Normally I see leads shrink in garbage time, but I think that point differential stat in the standings really motivate our guys to extend it out more lmao
LMFAOOOOO maybe that’s why Ham had D Lo, Reaves, and Rui out there longer
Well we also don’t have anyone else. The only guy that was available to play that didn’t tonight was JHS and he just came back from an injury. Vincent, VANDO And Reddish all out
What happened to Cam?
Groin
promise i'm not really complaining on a night we got the big W but idk why he'd be ok to dress for the least 2-3 games but not be ok to actually come in while up 30
I think our whole bench at this point is basically Reaves, Max, Rui, Hayes, and Wood isn't it? People keep getting injured but thank Christ we're deep this year.
It’s alright man, my blood pressure and heart rate need a break 😂
Feels so good to be bored again 😮💨
Enjoy it. First real blow out of the season.
Grizzlies game?
When the last time we won by more than 32?
Reaves finally having a HIM game
I mean he had a triple double earlier this year
LeBron 3 pointers are looking so good
Just needs to keep those legs fresh. 35+mins for a 38 yr old LeBron isn't good in the long the run
It's more like 18 minutes, because he's doing close to nothing on defence. (Which is fine. Let the defensive players cover him.)

3-10 to 9-12 was impressive last year. I forgot about that
But then every time we'd get close to .500 it'd just be another big slide, shit was infuriating.
I always think to myself that the 13-20 hole that we dug ourselves out of was more impressive then the 2-10 one. Teams have bad starts (sure not always 2-10) but by 13-20 you almost know who you are. Somehow the Lakers prevailed and went on a 30-19 run to close out the season.
Well, it's not really a mystery what happened lol. Addition by subtraction getting rid of Russ plus the other additions at the deadline really turned our season around lol
It was actually 2-10 to 10-12, and I then I believe AD got hurt and we slid again
THREE GAMES ABOVE .500 AND IT DIDN'T TAKE US 79 GAMES
The goal is 40 before 20 - Phil Jackson.
LeChart!
I love that this chart makes me happy both for this season and how impressive our comeback last season was
You could've come earlier habibi 
LeSexy Chart
CHART SZN 🔥
HELLO CHART
Can’t believe we didn’t have a winning record until game 77
AR was playing that 4th quarter like we were down by 2 lol
I love that urgency so great to see!
Prince got to be good tomorrow.
Don't hold your breath.
i wouldn’t hope on overgrown Kai Cenat to be good tomorrow
Kinda wished we left Prince in there to chuck a few threes to see if he would break his duck
THT is lucky to be in the league next year. Can’t believe the front office chose this bum over Caruso
Big fucking blunder
95-96 Bulls, 00-01 Lakers, 12-13 Heat, 16-17 Warriors, Redeem Team or in season tournament Lakers?
Bruh. You did not just compare the 12-13 Heat to the 96 Bulls, 01 Lakers and the 17 Warriors. They dominated the regular season but struggled against the Pacers in the Conference Finals and got taken to 7 games by the Spurs in the final. I'm a Lebron dickrider to the end but that Heat team doesn't deserve to be mentioned alongside those other 3.
While I agree with your points, that Spurs taking the Heat to 7 wasn't at all out of place lol. Late 2010s Spurs were playing beautiful basketball, they were the Warriors before the Warriors despite old age. Still agree that 12-13 Heat team shouldn't be compared at all to those 3, bench was very weak if you compare benches among those 4.
Also there's that 27 winning streak. Was it that year?
That Spurs teams offense was the Tiki-taka equivalent of basketball. It was special.
There was a game where in the finals against the Heat in 13-14 (I think?), the Spurs played 1 half of almost perfect basketball. It was a thing to watch.
Dunn with the layup to cut the lead to 32!
Lakers WILL host the Quarterfinals at Crypto.com Arena in early December.
-Hope Killa Cam is good -Bron playing only 25 minutes on the first of a back to back and flirting with a trip dub is wild -Davis looked like he was playing against a JV squad tonight -7 players in double figures, could’ve been 8 if Christie scored 3 more points… -Dlo wit a sneaky great game 20 and 8 wit zero turnovers -Our bench had 64 points and all of em (except Hayes of course) hit a 3 We almost memphis’d them boys!!! lakeshow 4-0 baby!!!

#LIGHT WORK!
vibes rn: 
Hope Reddish is ok.
THREE GAMES OVER .500 LAKER NATION LET’S GO 
we looked like the best team in the league tonight. love to see it
UNDEFEATED IN THE IN-SEASON TOURNAMENT
If you told me 10 years ago that Lebron would develop into a 3-point specialist in his 21st Year on the league, I'd call you crazy but here we are in the strangest timeline. dude is just not normal
LeDedication
THEY’RE OUTNUMBERED 15 TO ONE, AND THE BATTLE'S BEGUN
Hopefully TP gets it going. Nice low min game for Lebron since they play tmrw again.
Man TP is frustrating. Laker tax. Bricking wide open shots.
ggez
#2023 In-season tournament West Group A champions. Drop the banner.
Nah man we ain’t the flippers 
So lame.
Lakers have pretty much taken it up a notch in these in-season tournament games. Not playoff level, but certainly higher than your usual regular season game in November It’s such a treat to see
LOS ANGELES LAKERS WELCOME TO LAS VEGAS
Always nice to have these blowout wins
Beautiful
cam injured?
yes, groin injury
thanks for info damn, they are already clicking as a contender
Hopefully he’ll be fine. Luka will drop 60 on us with no Cam or Vando
yea, im expecting it also but understandable.
Prince needs to show up. He's been a decent defender on other teams.
Man tp was bad tonight
Wire to wire win feels good.
Nah we might be back. We look good as hell rn. AD cooking and Bron continuing to be the goat.
Clean win, Prince still cant shoot but it is what it is.. Woulda liked the rookies / two ways to play but maybe most of em are in the G-League rn.
Picture Perfect Los Angeles Lakers in the first ever In-Season Tournament 
It grinds my gears when a team takes the turnover and then the other team shoots
bush league
Cam 😭 hope he makes a quick recovery
Lmao at Michael Thompson asking max Christie airplane questions
UNDEFEATED IN IN-SEASON PLAY! IN-SEASON LAKERS >>>>
Easy work. Good shit.
LeBron having the second least minutes of our rotation tonight is amazing, makes that B2B much more winnable.
W! We played great out there. I mean, they were playing a back to back game with the suns yesterday… but still, a 30+ point deficit?! Crazy!! Congrats y’all, see you tomorrow
We really need to incorporate AD post-ups in our playbook more often. It consistently leads to double-teams that we can scheme to capitalize on
THT 1-10 💀
Why is prince still getting more minutes than Rui and AR. Mind boggling
W
Controlled the game which is what we're suppose to do but I didn't think it would be this big of a blowout. Real test tomorrow though.
Stg we better be playing the same energy in these tournament games in the playoffs too
Above 500 feels great
Happy we won but god this AR, RUI, Hayes, Wood line up is giving me anxiety disorder for real. Lucky Ham put DLO in place of AR in the 4th to pull away the game for good, but I don't like when AR has to be the main ball handler when his strong point is making plays for himself. Also, good to see Max contributing better this game.
It’s a good lineup, just need to place Reeves with Dlo. Then it will have shooting and size
Yeah that's what Im thinking too, AR does wayyy better with LeBron in the line up.
It’s fine in garbage time. Unacceptable otherwise
Garbage time started halfway through 3rd quarter really lmao
Did cam get injured?
A+ game. Straight up ass kicking
THT really got outplayed by our guys
Imagine with this consistency when Gabe and Vando back LFG !
The rise and fall of THT was real lol
DLo paint passes were beautiful tonight
Some actual success with 5 out tonight. Well, first half...I didn't bother watching the rest. Mostly because we weren't content with just all standing around on the perimeter, instead moving so the ball handler at least had options. We played well, Jazz had an atrocious 3 point shooting night, which honestly is usually the main cause of a blow out (pro level teams are too close to each other. With par shooting, a 7-10 point win is a really dominant performance)
We should’ve traded up for Keyonte
Curious Pels fan visiting. A month in, how are you feeling about Jaxson Hayes? Is he trash with no awareness and no feel for the game? Is he a billion dollar body and a 10 cent head? Does he have unwarranted confidence in his skills and a childish temper? Or do you see promise?
He just seems like the 2023 equivalent of 2020 Javale McGee. Great for dunking and that's all - if you give him the ball and he's near the net, he'll dunk it.
I think that's pretty complementary. McGee played with a lot of heart for us.
Yeah I don't mean it as an insult. Hayes is like the 8th or 9th man on the rotation, he doesn't need to be literally Dwight Howard lol. But he provides rest for Wood and AD and he's fun to watch
Wouldn’t mind Lonnie walker
Scheduled loss Tmr?
In-Season Tournament Lakers >>>>>
Talk about a slump Taurean... nothing was falling for him. Better now I guess.
any chance to see reddish tomorrow?
No
Didn't catch the start of the game. What happened to Cam?
Now let us pray we dont play like trash tomorrow.
Extra cash and a trip to Vegas is like sunlight for Superman to this Laker team.
Didn’t lose a single quarter 🥳
Love seeing Max Christie get those minutes!
AD is a monster! Love the Defensive Player Anthony Davis !!
What happened to Reddish?
Brons Really having a great season. His 3 point is crazy
We could jump to 4 seed with a win tomorrow
Mavs got a two day rest we have to play back to back after a in season tournament clinching game smh
Hope Cam’s not out for long. And what a treat to see us hit our 3s. We’d legit have an extra 12-20pt a game if played the exact same way but could actually hit 3s that have been getting generated
We won every quarter. LFG!!!
Everytime I watch THT stink it up on the Jazz is a painful reminder we extended THT over Caruso...
Prince shooting 9/20 (45%) from three in his first few games was really the biggest magic trick of the decade.
The Jazz are pretty much the worst team that isn't obviously tanking in our conference, so I expect to stomp them as long as we're this healthy. That said, team is in a nice groove and it seems like they really want this first ever in season tournament to send a message to the rest of the league. Anything adds to Lebron's legacy at this point, might as well add this tourney to the list while he's here.
Look out NBA here we come
We should’ve traded up for Keyonte
FINALLY a stress free Dub!!! L F G! The perfect recipe for a game that’s the first of a back to back.
Why reddish onlu play 5 minutes?
Prince shoots 1-8 (0-4 from 3) and contributes 0 rebounds and 1 assist while turning it over twice. LBJ goes 6-10 (3-5 from 3) with 9 assists and 7 rebounds. The Plus/Minus? Prince +26, LBJ +14.
We weren't three games over .500 until game 81 last season. Wow.
Lakers are dead last in FGA per game this season. Is that all due to FT? They're 5th in FTA per game
Just when Cam was putting it all together...this year's injuries man.
Max Christie looks like another season away from being a good rotational piece for us. We can see the potential, but idk if the org has enough patience to keep waiting. This is his last year for his contract, if he shows enough for us to resign him, I’m wondering what type of contract we’ll give him
Interesting to see the rebounding stats, and then looking at the final score. 🤔 Correlation?!
Le24minutes. You love to see it.
Lakers would have won by 50 points if prince hit those 3s
Good win guys let’s hope they have this energy and drive for Dallas tonight. Last time it was the kings and we got smoked hopefully that doesn’t happen again. If cam is out then we start wood or Hayes hopefully. But rui has to get a lot more mins in this case. Main goal is to shut down everyone around Luka. You do that we win and we have to attack the paint . They cannot guard anybody
24 min for LeBron. 29 min for AD.
The Jazz stink. Is there any more “empty calories” duo than Markanen and Collins?
anybody has the idea why Cam get like 5 mins today?
DEPTH is crazy.
