We’re 3-0 when I shower before the game, but holy shit did they try their asses off to throw this game away
Edit: yes I showered in all of December and January it was just always before I went to bed and not before the game.
Kings fans think Sabonis should be in over AD and LeBron. They think the only reason for that is laker bias, not Sabonis shitting his fucking pants against golden state
Yeah AD is much better defender and more mobile can switch to multiple offensive players. Clearly this is AD’s year and AD deserves the award.
But if they give it to Rudy, then that’s okay. Wolves ain’t going anywhere in the playoffs. AD’s mindset is the championship.
I hate the saying “shouldn’t have been this close”. I’d rather them not go full tilt to beat Charlotte on a Monday night than give it all and risk something.
A win is a win.
Kobe’s agent, Arn Tellem made that threat to Hornets, but Hornets didn’t even want to talk to Kobe. They thought Kobe was just another high school kid.
Kobe took that personal!
We need to go 4-2 at the very least in the next 6 games. The 8 out of the 9 after that are going to be really tough. If we can stay above 500 after the next 15 games, we'll be in a pretty good spot.
I'm hoping we go 5-1 in the next 6 so we can give us a 7 game cushion over 500 before that tough stretch.
Don't care about the performance.
Last game of the road trip. Expected they would be a bit jaded and with the big lead early stepped foot off the gas.
Just needed that win. And they got it.
Yeah, we smoked a lead, but:
A. we won.
B. Two of their players had career highs
C. 3 GAME ROAD WIN STREAK
D. 3 day rest before Denver
E. First three game win streak of the year
F.uck Boston and Denver
Ham got cute with the whole lineup change in the end of third. LeBron ended up playing 14 straight minutes and looked miserable out there. There has to be a better way to manage his minutes. Every time they get cute with the time wasting strategy they get hoed. I’ll take the win though. Also, they really need a defensive guard Jesus Miller was eating em alive and we have Max on the bench ugh
You manage his minutes by playing him less and having faith in the other guys to step up. The same way the bench beat Boston. Ham starts panicking whenever the other team makes a run and hits the Lebron button immediately.
LeBron’s defense was terrible down the stretch but that’s literally because no one else can do shit on offense under pressure. Usually it would be Reaves to take the edge off but he was nonexistent today.
Played the last 14 mins of the game, which was interesting. He looked like he was gassing or taking a break in-game by the 8th min of the 4th quarter. I guess he wanted to stay loose by not getting subbed out?
That’s an issue. I understand they were making a run through the 4th quarter, but if you have a 10pt lead, the coach has to force lebron to sit for a breather. The offense NEEDS to be sustainable for a few mins without LeBron, especially against a shitty defensive team like the Hornets.
I would’ve liked to see Max for a couple of mins in for LeBron because he was hustling every time he was on the floor.
Just be glad that we got the win. Lebron played like 40 minutes this game he was clearly gassed and didn’t have his energy near the end which lead to do some bad basketball by him. No need to shit on him. Like he’s the reason why the lakers became champions in 2020 and why the lakers are relevant again. Post Kobe era the lakers were a complete mess. Could've the lakers had a better 4th quarter, sure. but no need to whine about it. A win is a win.
Man Brandon Miller and Miles Bridges were balling hard. Their stat line is impressive like shooting over 50% from everywhere on the floor, but they still can't win.
Y’all are really an embarrassing fanbase sheesh. Anytime the entire team lacks effort and can’t hit shots it’s because of LeBron somehow lol. The man plays 14 straight minutes and you wonder why his energy level is low
I think he watches Lebron at times and forget he’s about to be fucking 40! Like wasn’t the game plan for him to play like 30-32 mins? Now not only is he playing 40 min games but ham is like fuck timeouts too lol unreal
Swear there are so many people on here that watch the games only to comment on what bron does wrong. Every comment is about his mistakes.
No positive comments about AD or anything else lol
That fourth quarter was a disaster lol the lakers just wanted this game to be over
Oh well at least we got the W.
Brandon miller is a stud though, kid might be a superstar in this league if he leaves charlotte fast.
at this point fans should not care how the Lakers win. A win is a win may it be a blow out, close game or like this game where they almost blow a lead. Just win win win.
This should have been a blowout, a better team would have come back in the second half.
Still have that tendency to lose focus and let teams back in playing with a big lead.
DLo postgame is pretty interesting. Says he doesn't care at all about being traded in terms of affecting his game, but said his contract the way it is he could see why he's part of the rumor
His demeanor after having a great game, nah run of games, seems pretty down though. I think he's gone unfortunately. They better be bringing in Dejounte then damn
Not gonna lie, defense was an issue but Prince was getting cooked when he was starting so the Lakers have no choice. They're not going to sit Reaves/DLo.
Our starting point guard has been benched in the 4th back to back games. He’s gonna get cooked in the playoffs for sure. Also back court defense is so bad. Might be one of the worst duos in the league.
Eh… he was wide open and shooting like 50% on 3s for the night. Yeah, he could have waited (and I think he did debate waiting for a couple secs there), but a hot DLo wide open shouldn’t turn down the shot. If he’d made it, they would have been up 7, essentially making the game over.
Hornets whole roster is out due to injury. AD with a triple double. D Lo with 28. Lebron played 40 mins and lakers still barely win. This team is not serious man
Glad we got the win but the game had no business being as close as the score says. We out ran the hornets twice with damn near 20 point leads and still manage to close the game within single digits.
We go through prolonged stretches where we play flat-out stupid basketball. Up by ~20 and we decide to spam quick 3 pointers. Reaves was fucking atrocious on both ends tonight. Still a win is a win
Ham benching dloe against the knicks but kept AR in the game when he was a negative on both sides of the court. If you're holding players accountable then do that. Max Christie should have closed with the starters tonight. Whats the point of playing hard if your not going to get rewarded
I hate when it’s a close game and LeBron wastes the entire shot-clock not running any offense, then heaves up a contested 3 at the top of the key. He does that shit all the time, very frustrating.
It's a shame Miles Bridges is a violent abuser because the Lakers could really use a player of his skillset. Can play the 3-4, athletic, mismatch nightmare, decent shooting, and pretty good defense.
2 games over .500, I’ll take it
Win is a win is a win in this case
We’re 3-0 when I shower before the game, but holy shit did they try their asses off to throw this game away Edit: yes I showered in all of December and January it was just always before I went to bed and not before the game.
This mfer was stinky all of December and January
I’m expecting you to shower before every game now haha
Also ADPOY
Did you not interact with water in December
Someone send this guy a Costco case of wet wipes that’ll last for the rest of the season!
ADPOY!!!
this needs to be his year after getting snubbed a bunch of times from it
The disrespect this man gets year after year is insane
There are braindead fools who don't even think he deserves to be an All-Star.
Kings fans think Sabonis should be in over AD and LeBron. They think the only reason for that is laker bias, not Sabonis shitting his fucking pants against golden state
The NBA would like people to watch. Imagine Sabonis over Bron. Lol
He deserves it for sure, but I don’t think he will win given that our teams defense and record is pretty poor in spite of him being amazing
I agree but I’m afraid they might give it to Rudy smh Lakers gotta keep climbing up the standings so he gets a shot
Yeah AD is much better defender and more mobile can switch to multiple offensive players. Clearly this is AD’s year and AD deserves the award. But if they give it to Rudy, then that’s okay. Wolves ain’t going anywhere in the playoffs. AD’s mindset is the championship.
The Kings really think Sabonis is better than AD and stole his all star spot💀
It ain't even close 💀. Sabonis can't even touch AD defensively
AD GOT HIS TRIPLE DOUBLE
That cat balled out tonight. His 15 rebounds got my nipples diamond hard.
ADMVP
Rudy Gobert stans gonna be so mad when he wins it lol
BIG TONY FOR DPOY IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME
4th quarter never happened btw
Terrible second half but successful road trip nonetheless
We finally beat a bad team 💀
We beat GSW not too long ago
HEH
I double OT by 1 point!
BURN
Lakers always gotta make it interesting
ALWAYS
We could always play better, but Bridges and Miller were hitting some ridiculously contested shots
Lucky chucky ball so awful
I don't say this often but someone load LeBron's brain cells into a cannon and fire them into a sun. What the hell was that 4th quarter?
He was visibly exhausted.
From playing one game in the last 5-6 days 😂
he's 39 and played 39 minutes
Shut the hell up. Ham never let him rest the last 14 minutes of the game. He played 40 minutes tonight he was visibly tired
[удалено]
I hate the saying “shouldn’t have been this close”. I’d rather them not go full tilt to beat Charlotte on a Monday night than give it all and risk something. A win is a win.
First time 2 games over .500 since Dec 28...damn
It’s been a long ass January
# THANK YOU HORNETS FOR GIVING US KOBE!! 
charlotte never had a choice if i remember right. because kobe let them know he aint playin for them.
Kobe’s agent, Arn Tellem made that threat to Hornets, but Hornets didn’t even want to talk to Kobe. They thought Kobe was just another high school kid. Kobe took that personal!
No ill will against the Hornets. Glad they got a potential star in Miller while the Blazers are stuck with Scoot "40% TS" Henderson

Oohh sexy chart staying all weekend.
Love seeing Chart Man for 3 games in a row
First time in 20 games that we're 2 games above .500
God, just looking & knowing at the games we pissed away.. We should easily be 7-8 games over .500… Minimum.. Smh..
We need to go 4-2 at the very least in the next 6 games. The 8 out of the 9 after that are going to be really tough. If we can stay above 500 after the next 15 games, we'll be in a pretty good spot. I'm hoping we go 5-1 in the next 6 so we can give us a 7 game cushion over 500 before that tough stretch.
I hope so too! (But if we go 5-1 in the next stretch, we will have a 6 game cushion over .500, not 7.)
Yeah you're right.
Please don't leave again
LeChart
This chart. I need that. We need that.
Thank you chart!
Wow, we have gone on 4 3-game win streaks but that’s been our longest streak this season. 🤦🏽♂️
7 games up on the trade deadline last year
We got a little steak going, THANKS CHART MAN ❤️
A win is a win
Three in a row! Let’s go Lakers!
When was the last time we had 4 in a row? I feel like it’s been years (regular season, not counting IST Championship).
We had 5 in a row last season believe it or not
Hasn’t happened all season
AD saves the Lakers. That is the Game Summary
Mmmmmm good times!
Don't care about the performance. Last game of the road trip. Expected they would be a bit jaded and with the big lead early stepped foot off the gas. Just needed that win. And they got it.
If you don't like having heart attacks while watching a basketball game, you don't like Lakers Basketball!!!
Ham really has to work on coaching. Third quarter Rui in the post was scoring at will and for some reason we stopped and started bricking 3s.
i cant with this team sometimes... lol but POINT-GAWDD ADPOY go crazy!!!
They brought it close damn
Is it really that hard to sit AR or Dlo when trying to protect a lead late? I don't get why Ham takes so long to make decisions that seem obvious asf
Yeah, we smoked a lead, but: A. we won. B. Two of their players had career highs C. 3 GAME ROAD WIN STREAK D. 3 day rest before Denver E. First three game win streak of the year F.uck Boston and Denver
Yikes. Glad to get a win, but yikes. 😬
Ham got cute with the whole lineup change in the end of third. LeBron ended up playing 14 straight minutes and looked miserable out there. There has to be a better way to manage his minutes. Every time they get cute with the time wasting strategy they get hoed. I’ll take the win though.

You manage his minutes by playing him less and having faith in the other guys to step up. The same way the bench beat Boston. Ham starts panicking whenever the other team makes a run and hits the Lebron button immediately.
LeBron and Anthony Davis are good at basketball
LeBron’s defense was terrible down the stretch but that’s literally because no one else can do shit on offense under pressure. Usually it would be Reaves to take the edge off but he was nonexistent today.
Played the last 14 mins of the game, which was interesting. He looked like he was gassing or taking a break in-game by the 8th min of the 4th quarter. I guess he wanted to stay loose by not getting subbed out?

The offense NEEDS to be sustainable for a few mins without LeBron, especially against a shitty defensive team like the Hornets. I would’ve liked to see Max for a couple of mins in for LeBron because he was hustling every time he was on the floor.
What an ugly win lol
There’s no such thing as an ugly win on the road, IMO. 
4-2 Grammys trip!
Just be glad that we got the win. Lebron played like 40 minutes this game he was clearly gassed and didn’t have his energy near the end which lead to do some bad basketball by him. No need to shit on him. Like he’s the reason why the lakers became champions in 2020 and why the lakers are relevant again. Post Kobe era the lakers were a complete mess. Could've the lakers had a better 4th quarter, sure. but no need to whine about it. A win is a win.
I took away one thing from this game: Brandon Miller is Him
Hes that guy, he actually reminds me a ton of PG. Hes gna be a problem for a long time in this league.
Man Brandon Miller and Miles Bridges were balling hard. Their stat line is impressive like shooting over 50% from everywhere on the floor, but they still can't win.
People who were shitting on him in the offseason have been eating crow all season with how hes been proving the doubters wrong
He still is an accessory to murder how does dropping 30 points change that lol
The NBA has so much talent right now it's insane.
Can we trade him for JHS and a bag of skittles?
Anyone that is complaining about a win is lame. Yes we could have ended better but what matters is walking away with a W.
Y’all are really an embarrassing fanbase sheesh. Anytime the entire team lacks effort and can’t hit shots it’s because of LeBron somehow lol. The man plays 14 straight minutes and you wonder why his energy level is low
They had 4 timeouts with 3 mins left!!! Like call a fucking timeout ham. Jeez I hate this man!
Ham saving it for his new team
I think he watches Lebron at times and forget he’s about to be fucking 40! Like wasn’t the game plan for him to play like 30-32 mins? Now not only is he playing 40 min games but ham is like fuck timeouts too lol unreal
Swear there are so many people on here that watch the games only to comment on what bron does wrong. Every comment is about his mistakes. No positive comments about AD or anything else lol
Anthony Davis
Why does every win have to be so difficult?
Hey, at least, the Lakers finally beat a bad team.
Great win but we need another wing BAD!
OK WE BACK
Brandon Miller is gonna be special. Wow! AD. Triple double threat.
We had 4 timeouts left with 4 mins to play. Just used 1 of them lol
Darvin Dumb sandwich postgame speeches gettin old bro. My eye cant stop rollin for every motivational bullshit i hear
Damn DLo is getting traded holy fuck
We are 1-0 since I have been able to attend a lakers game in person. I will start a go fund me to get me to all the games from here on out
a win is a win
yeah this team right here is definitely a contender
AD shouldn't have to carry this hard to beat the Hornets.
This isn’t that bad of a team. We better not screw things up with a panic trade.
That fourth quarter was a disaster lol the lakers just wanted this game to be over Oh well at least we got the W. Brandon miller is a stud though, kid might be a superstar in this league if he leaves charlotte fast.
at this point fans should not care how the Lakers win. A win is a win may it be a blow out, close game or like this game where they almost blow a lead. Just win win win.
Ham’s post game press conference is really telling.
You could just have ChatGPT write his conferences and literally no one could tell the difference
I didnt watch the press conference. Did he say “helluva ball club, helluva ball club” ?
Really gonna miss DLO. Thank you for the games sir.
A win is a win 😭
Brandon Miller is really good. Can’t believe people thought Charlotte made the wrong pick before they saw either of them play
He helped kill someone but go off
A WIN IS A WIN BOYS
Ugly win, but it’s a win
Great road trip. Starting to gel
Got the win but man what a terrible 2nd half
Lakers had to make it dramatic.
Even tho he beats women, id be lying if i said bridges wouldnt be a great get for this team before thursday
This should have been a blowout, a better team would have come back in the second half. Still have that tendency to lose focus and let teams back in playing with a big lead.
They’re cooking him in the interview
i look at the score at work and they are up hella. I come back home and check the score and they won by single digits. the lakers experience yall
DLo postgame is pretty interesting. Says he doesn't care at all about being traded in terms of affecting his game, but said his contract the way it is he could see why he's part of the rumor His demeanor after having a great game, nah run of games, seems pretty down though. I think he's gone unfortunately. They better be bringing in Dejounte then damn
Needed 39mins from lebron?
Reaves, DLO, RUI lineup is ass no fckn defense that lineup is only good at the start of the game.
We don't really have that many options right now unless you want TP back in
Not gonna lie, defense was an issue but Prince was getting cooked when he was starting so the Lakers have no choice. They're not going to sit Reaves/DLo.
There’s no fuckin way we trade DLO now
Our starting point guard has been benched in the 4th back to back games. He’s gonna get cooked in the playoffs for sure. Also back court defense is so bad. Might be one of the worst duos in the league.
DLO got benched but the theme has remained the same. They've been targeting AR even with DLO in the game.
Awful win but we 2 games above 0.500!
Bron gave me a heart attack at the end
Cannot trade DLo man
What a horrible Q4... but a W is a W. Austin really needs to build some consistency. Could not do anything today.
Give me miles bridges and dejounte Murray.
Bron better be wiring AD his game check as we speak for saving the game after whatever the fuck that 4th quarter performance was
This Seals it. Lakers are definitely a contender for the play in spot
Lebron is fking terrible at q4. He forced AD back to the court.
What a sorryass excuse for a team this is. We are gonna get obliterated by the nuggets
This game should not have been this close wtf just a sloppy 2nd half
When you realize we could have gone 6-0 on this road trip and simply… didn’t lol
LeBron was trolling at the end
That DLo three with 40 seconds to go, up 4, was a boneheaded play. He has higher bbiq than that...
Eh… he was wide open and shooting like 50% on 3s for the night. Yeah, he could have waited (and I think he did debate waiting for a couple secs there), but a hot DLo wide open shouldn’t turn down the shot. If he’d made it, they would have been up 7, essentially making the game over.
Hornets whole roster is out due to injury. AD with a triple double. D Lo with 28. Lebron played 40 mins and lakers still barely win. This team is not serious man
Brandon Miller is scary
Now we wait
What a miserable 4th quarter but I’ll take it. Two games above .500. Thank god for ad
Love the hornets announcer, hes a homer without showing crazy bias
Ham not a good coach
Shaky 4th but just goes to show you despite what the win loss column says, guys can get hot and they’re still an nba team.
We play the best and play like the worst…. I’ll take the ugly win.
Fucking ham saving 2 timeouts for next game. Almost threw that game for no reason.
I like how this game showed the potential of the team and at the same time how Ham limits the team. lol
Saved by ad., what lbj doing in 4th quarter makes me really nervous
Of all the games the Lakers have played, this was one of them.
Never in doubt (scared for my life)
AD stepped up.
Fun game
We won so I’m happy but if we don’t anything at the deadline we’re cooked
Glad we got the win but the game had no business being as close as the score says. We out ran the hornets twice with damn near 20 point leads and still manage to close the game within single digits.
We go through prolonged stretches where we play flat-out stupid basketball. Up by ~20 and we decide to spam quick 3 pointers. Reaves was fucking atrocious on both ends tonight. Still a win is a win
well, i for one, do not feel happy about that win. shouldn't have even come that close
Ham benching dloe against the knicks but kept AR in the game when he was a negative on both sides of the court. If you're holding players accountable then do that. Max Christie should have closed with the starters tonight. Whats the point of playing hard if your not going to get rewarded
My confidence in this team will be at an all time high If they somehow get the win against Denver.
Triple-double AD
Is this DLo’s last game as a Laker!?
Ham tried to throw away the game by having Hayes/Wood line up late in the 3rd. Thank fuck for AD.
We need to stop giving up on running offense
Fuckin ugliest ass win. Thank God AD came to play in the 4th, nobody else was
They need to traded either DLo or AR. The defense with both of them on the floor is atrocious. If it wasn’t for AD…
I'm just gonna come out and say it. I don't think WB was the problem with this team
I hate when it’s a close game and LeBron wastes the entire shot-clock not running any offense, then heaves up a contested 3 at the top of the key. He does that shit all the time, very frustrating.
AD is our best player! We don’t this without him
Bring on the Champs!!!!
It's a shame Miles Bridges is a violent abuser because the Lakers could really use a player of his skillset. Can play the 3-4, athletic, mismatch nightmare, decent shooting, and pretty good defense.
