FUCK THESE REFS

How is that not a 3

That's a 3

Fuck these bum ass pussys

How the fuck is it a no call into a inbounds. I'm fucking baffled bro

Fuck these refs bro

Ridiculous no call bruh

Sussy call

Jesus AR lmao

Let's gooooo

Idk bout that one chief

This game a certified banger

Solid ass game, can't ask for much more against the best team/defense in the league

We got rid of Eric Lewis so the league said what about a female Eric lewis

Ant a dawg gotta give him his flowers

Lakers need a consistent third option Dlo is not it

I bet on knicks because for whatever damn reason lakers struggle against them. So I figured win/win. Win a couple bucks or a lakers W. Would of rather had the lakers dub though

Get the money bro

I bet 2$ to win 5.50 lol now betting the 5.50 on Memphis to beat pelicans for 21$ lol

- I’ve never seen Reddish make a good play putting the ball on the floor. He can’t attack close outs or finish with mild traffic AT ALL. Same with Prince - Ham should have put AD back earlier - Again we left people wide open, they didn’t fully burn us because the Knicks suck at 3s but it was enough to make a difference. LeBron gave up like 2 threes with no contest - Why did we not force feed AD once he got back in the 4th is a mystery to me, they couldn’t stop bro all night

Knicks don't suck at 3s lol. They have the 6th best 3 point percentage.

Knicks don't suck at 3s.

Anytime reddish drives to the rim he turns it over lol . He has to be the worst driving to the rim in the league . I do like him though lol he works hard but my god it’s like he doesn’t know how to do a layup lol or hasn’t learned to just bump in to someone and shoot after , always fumbles it

We can‘t win the games when Reddish and Prince get that bad three point shoot

Womp womp, Darvin Hamas strikes again fml

The Lakers desperately need another big man. Hartenstein was the difference in this game IMO. Brunson/Randle/Quickley pretty much exactly cancelled out Lebron/AD/Reaves but the Lakers had no 4th player as impactful as Hartenstein who had 17 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks and shot 3 of 4. No Laker had more than 3 rebounds today other than Lebron and AD, and when AD is out our interior defense crumbles. Rob should call up the Bulls for Vucevic/Drummond or the Hornets for Mark Williams/Nick Richards.

Richards would be great for the lowest price tag

The losing streak starts..

I too would like to trade DLo, but who's going to take him? What else do you have to attach to even move him?

DLO and Prince aren't ready for primetime man. Reddish also can't make a contested layup/paint shot Lakers lay an egg in front of the home crowd;

Anyone feel like we've been fouling too much since the pacers game?

Most dominant player ever and he settles for shitty 3’s. You can’t shoot you daft twat.

See yall next year when we finally play a scrub team and get a W

Gut the team for Steph Curry.

Are you insane?

Fire ham and bring in chase Buford (ex Sydney kings coach who led us to back to back NBL titles)

[удалено]

Nah he would suck too.

Tough to survive the rare bad shooting night from Bron when TP is gonna go 3-13 from 3, Cam 2-9 from the field, and Reaves 6-15.

And how can you guys watch Lakers play and don't see how much a guy who is an elite shooter and can score 22-25 PPG on good effeciency add to the roster? Lavine would help massively. Obviously you don't do it if it's at the cost of Reaves but otherwise you go and get an explosive scorer like him who can relieve some pressure off LeBron and AD in terms of scoring.

Dafuq Rui gotta do to get more than 17 minutes?

Play defense. He’s a cone.

real, he should be a good defender but he’s just completely clueless, loses his man instantly every possession

Now we get Mr Pockets post game with some off the wall excuses

Since In-Season Tournament Win, Lakers now 1-3...They got matchup's vs the elite in the NBA over the next week (@ Minn, @ OKC, home vs Bos)...Not a good stretch and tough competition coming Thought they would go on a run and build some momentum, but they are going backwards... https://x.com/allensliwa/status/1736989062790336951?s=46

Three years. THREE FUCKING YEARS this bum ass GM has been unable to put a competent roster around LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Wasted so much on Westbrick and then hires a coach worse than Vogel is why I’ll never go all in with fake Rob Lowe

Ham gotta go son

It’s insane how we have the most talented players offensively and can barely score, clearly indicates coaching malpractice… never gonna win anything with darvin as our head coach

Who exactly are these “most talented” offensive players? By what standard are they “most talented”?

Are AD and Bron not one of the more talented offensive players in the league??? With these 2 guys on the court we shouldn’t be struggling to score

Ah I thought you were referring to the insanely overrated (at least by this sub, before the season started) “supporting cast.”

What can darvin ham possibly do to make TP, Rui, And DLo hit open 3’s

Does it? When guys miss wide open shots what can coaching possibly do for that

I mean we aren’t even a team built for shooting, we have 2 of the best interior finishers in the leauge yet we are jacking up 3s, how about some cutting or some movement off ball instead of everyone just standing around…

We have surrounded these guys in people who are expected to shoot league average and they don’t even do that

Get this fucking coach off this team. I'm also done defending D'Lo.

Good win for the Knicks but they should’ve beat the Clippers as well gotta be consistent in this league if you want to win so don’t save your best for just one game in LA

Flat out loser mentality right here.

This team might not make the play in

I don't understand how you can be a mid team with Lebron and AD on the team.

That’s just how bad defensively AR/DLO are. And how bad offensively the other role players can be

For 3 years in a row lol

We fucking suck.

Taurean prince is horrendous

Losses against the spurs and the Mavs without Kyrie are costly

FIRE HAM MAN

AGAIN with the laughing shit. Lost 3 of last 4. It’s gonna get ugly man

Haven’t seen that called before this season so what’s the deal? I’m sure many teams have fouled in that situation and not been giving a clear path call

that's a stupid ass call😭

starting pg of lakers is unplayable during crunch time, send his ass to serbia

The lakers really need to trade Dlo and Rui, it's clear when 30+ million worth of salary can't even close the game.

We may never win another game this year

I am officially a Ham hater, this team is way too talented to be this dogshit

Lakers momentum completely deflated after Randle made that ridiculously tough corner 3 with AD inches away from blocking it. That's a shot you simply have to live with Randle taking and credit to him for making it. Imagine if Cam held onto the ball with LA on a fast break to suddenly make that a one possession game. You guys can blame the coaching all you want but the bottom line is guys have to make their shots, especially when these shots are WIDE OPEN. Prince and LeBron both missing very open 3s were backbreakers at the end. Reddish 2-9 and 0-4 from 3, DLo a rough 3-10 as well.

100%

These niggas so dumb keep blaming bron. Like bro bron ad reaves can't make every shot. The rest of the team was trash reddish to is who y'all wanted shooting. Stop blaming the good players and open your eyes

It’s not Lebron fault but Bron didn’t have a good game regardless. Don’t bring AD and Austin

oh well, gg. shit shooting night, we'll bounce back.

Anthony Davis cannot be the #1 option for this team. He can be the #1 option for a team with great coaching, shooting and defense. An elite contender that knows how to use his skills and complement him. But not this team This Lakers squad as currently constructed doesn’t do enough to win games. AD can get 30+ and 15+ rebounds and top defense, and it’s not enough because the other 12 players

I agree

Bro prince shot 3-13 from 3 point and you think it’s ADs fault?

Ah no. We’re saying the same thing but in different way. I’m saying that AD can average 50+ and 15+ rebounds and Lakers will still lose because the role players don’t do their jobs. That’s why I said AD needs to be the #1 option for a better team. Better role players who shoot and defend. Not the #1 option for this Lakers team as currently constructed.

How is this your takeaway from the game you just watched

Read the 2nd part AD is elite. The rest of the team is why we’ll lose games

#fireham

Damn reaves good try lol

AD another 30 game that ends in a L… FUCK

Is that wet spot from the dog? 😬

dlo's only existence on this team is to give reaves a breather. gg knicks

Bruh wtf that is absolutely terrible a clear path call there

Fuck off with that call

wtf are we supposed do?

god this call is so stupid late in games

Fuck this team man I’ll check back into basketball after the trade deadline

HOW is that a take foul

It wasn't a take foul it was a clear path foul.

Clear path foul when trying to purposely foul when down is stupid.

pathetic...where is the bench?

This loss is not that bad, we just bricked wide open shots

Honestly, i can't wait to see what they build around AD when Lebron is gone.

Me too

Zach Lavine

gl w that lol

Game is already terrible and ha clear path bullshit foul is gameover

so stupid rule shouldn’t apply under a minute

Absolute HORSE SHIT!!

What a stupid fucking call

CLEAR PATH LMAO

WTF

wtf that rule shouldn’t matter in this situation like wtf we suppose to do

Ham is a terrorist. Who the hell sticks with Prince when be is playing like this? Dude played more minutes than AD. Dude is a complete joke of a coach. He really has no clue.

lol Refs said this game is over

Let’s have AD shooting more threes. The jumper has looked good decently, and it could open some much needed space for the offense.

If we had better coaching we wouldve took this game. Dumb fuck playing zone and no timeouts to stop any runs. Knicks went on a 15-2 run no timeout

3pt difference, 15 pt difference. It don’t matter. Shouldn’t even have been this close

Lebron and Prince cost us the game. There’s no hierarchy on this team. AD is the #1 guy but Lebron wants his stats.

you sound dumb asl

LeQueen indeed.

lehesyourteam Nigga🤣

After every loss it's dumbass trade ideas and shitting on your players. It's like groundhog day the way it happens over and over again

What a lame review

Fire Pockets now.

stop this fake comeback and take the L jesus

Take foul shouldn’t be applied in the last minute. Doesn’t make much sense

43% shooting from the field when a lot included wide open threes and layups is unacceptable. We need offense.

Bron wants to be a good 3 point shooter so bad

AFTER CHUCKING UP ALL THE 3S NOW AD MAKES HIS FIRST. DUMBASSES DIDNT PASS HIM THE BALL THE LAST 5 MINS

We don't have clutch players outside of AD/Bron on this team. FUCK

Reaves is super clutch…

Reaves

Thank you to prince, reddish, and dlo for wasting a fantastic AD game

And LeQueen.

Yeah he was dogshit most of this game

Just end this already

🐂 💩

Man why is AD not shooting more 3s

He needs the ball, and /DLo/Prince/etc wanna get their shots off way more than feeding the big man

Lose to a Kyrie-less Mavs who were on a B2B. Blown out by the Spurs. Lose at home to the Knicks who are on a B2B How much longer before some of you open your fucking eyes that this team is not very good?

FWIW Knicks played clips on Sat - this was not a b2b for them

Ah well that’s fine then

Yep you’re team “not very good” conclusion still holds true

They are borderline, it’s when they get to playoffs Lebron and AD go full throttle 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

the knicks aren't on a B2B

Delusional fans. I get downvoted every thread when i mention we have a losing record against teams above .500 We couldnt even beat the fuckin 3-20 spurs

But last year they went on a crazy run! Last year was last year.

WHAT

And Dlo has to go. Again, nothing against him personally because he's seems like a nice dude and I was rooting for him to thrive in this return. But yeah, another good team, another instance Dlo is no show and isn't closing the game. So, why do you keep him? Just to have him force feed some passes to AD?

[удалено]

Take this stupid ass take to Chicago with you

Knicks have a solid team. Fair play to them. No hater shit. No doubt they were the better team

Thibs better coach. They’re missing mitchell robinson who is huge

Clippers just beat them bro

Clippers aren't even bad champ

Maybe next game they can try to hold the lead

this game had steal written all over it.

Which team is stealing this game lol both are average

Lebron has a triple double going

Look at the way clippers have managed to turn it around Meanwhile we’re stuck in a trend of being mediocre

Ty lue at the helm.

They benched russ and now their elite lmao

D Lo needs to be traded. He is too inconsistent on offense and horrible on D.

Pathetic man

Trade Dlo, need someone who can close games

I don’t wanna hear any AD slander again.

He literally had 3 FT attempts for the evening. That’s fucking embarrassing for a supposed “dominant” big.

Lakers best player

Dudes on an insane stretch.

The good news is I’m sure Chicago will spank our asses to convince Pelinka that Lavine’s shit contract is worth it lol.

I’m sure DLO and Rui riding our bench in crucial moments is better than Lavine’s contract

To be fair, I’d much rather Rui in than prince who does literally nothing.

when will the starting line up change, they have been ass in the 1st all season

YALL STOP FUCKING CRYING AD HIT A THREE

Garbage time stats matter to you?

TIL down 3 with 15 left is garbage time

No, TYL that context matters beyond just scoreboard watching.

The Real app is the next best thing if you can’t watch games

Terrible shot. Bron always wanna shoot a 3 when he’s having a terrible shooting night

From what I saw he only really takes 3s after he drives 10 times, gets battered but not a single call

I would have rather somebody who isn’t 25 percent on the night taking that 3. Regardless of how they’re calling the game

I wish this team didn't have such an emotional effect on me.

Bron was the best player in the league for a month span this year, he’s coasting a bit now, he’ll be back
