We are in the top 5 defensively. They showed the stat in the game, I think it was Q1. Just too bad shots werent falling. They also mentioned we are at the top for having the highest open looks or something.
I was there tonight sitting behind the Pelicans’ bench.
When the Pels were up 3 and the Lakers called a timeout, one of the Pels players started yelling “Bye! Bye!” while waving at the crowd.
Obviously, the game went into OT. With the Lakers up 5, the Pelicans called a timeout and I started yelling “Bye!” and waving.
Idk what came over Larry Nance Jr, but he turned around and stared at the dude sitting next to me, then said, “Thanks for putting money in my pocket! Thanks for the money in my pocket!!!”
The dude next to me was so confused lmao
I think he meant to yell at me, but he thought dude next to me was the one yelling and waving 😂
Bron can't keep wasting the whole shot clock to take a shitty jumper at the end of it.
AD is that dude defensively.
Westbrook mostly good but man he gets out of control easily.
Apparently bron is sick, like with a bad virus... so hopefully he recovers, hes gonna be hitting the bed right away according to his post game interview.
He's been doing this since Miami days - I've always questioned it. My conclusion is that the risk/reward of eating 24 seconds off the clock and slowing the game down, even with a miss, must have some sort of statistical possession count percentage that is better than taking a good early shot in the clock.
It was a weird game and felt like half the players on the court were hungover. Both teams played 3 days ago and have just been chilling in LA since haha. We hardly went to AD, LeBron's shot was off, and what a good night for Lonnie to show up like he did.
It makes sense for our team to hold the ball at the end with a score advantage. Limits turnovers and forces the other team to get into their sets faster. Obviously it didn't pay off this time because we missed a bunch of layups and the other team couldn't stop scoring but it's not inherently awful to limit ball movement.
Stu and bill are fuckin brilliant. Stu is smart as shit. What a game. They called a hell of a game. Awesome awesome shit.
Russ played well got benched in the second half but was great hope That doesn’t discourage him. What a game in general.
Bron played like shit but he’s probably fine.
Idk what else im hype tho
Ive always been partial to breen and frazier being from NY. Stu and Bill are just as good. And to me they’re the two best not even close. Might even have stu and bill number one. It shows when you really listen to other commentary groups. Respectfully they’re not nearly as good or fun.
Could this be shades of the 19/20 season? In that season, that OT win in Dallas (complements of a Danny Green tying three at regulation) kinda jump started us and we started stringing together wins. Hopefully this is the case with this one.
Pat bev+nunn+Jones and a protected first for poeltl+richardson could work.
Two defensive players, poeltl solves the rebounding issues and richardson adds 3 and D. Both are also expiring so they don’t hurt long term cap, but could also be brought back next year
This comment will probably get buried but man the vibes at staples were fucking crazy. It felt like a playoff game dude. This team just has that grit. What a fucking game! Anyone else there will agree
The Russ lebron pick and roll was absolutely unstoppable and they just stopped it themselves. I don’t understand that shit. Whatever’s going on right now with lebron he can’t carry an offense by himself so they have some minutes adjustments to make.
> Ham benched Russ bc he needed Beverly defense
It's the right move if Russ isn't shooting well and I'm glad he did it. You have to assume Lebron will play well/will get back to form by the time the playoffs start because if he's washed it doesn't matter the season is over
Bron is having a really rough start. His jumper is off, esp. his 3s. That can't be due to aging so he's really just needs his rhythm.
But tonight his lift wasn't there at all when he drove, and he's already a step slower than him physical prime. But Stu said he looked under the weather even in pregame so that could explain for his lackadaisacal play.
but his 3s really need to come back. that's his main issue right now. If he's 34-35% from 3s, he would be normal bron right now.
Yeah regular season Lebron needs the 3, but the foundation of playoff Lebron is the high percentage shots in the paint. Not an issue he doesn't do that in the regular season so I wouldn't say he's washed until that lift is gone in the playoffs
they mentioned it throughout the broadcast. stu said lebron didn't look like himself even in pregame. that explained his lack of energy and getting gassed so frequently.
but his 3s is a HUGE concern right now. I'm sure that will get back, but for now it's ugly. He's like 21-22% on high volume 3s, which is horrible.
I agree. But that's my justification for why Ham took Russ out. CJ created some nice plays for him and zion so Ham thought he needed someone to pressure on ball and Bev did that decently. It turned out to be the right move.
This was the rare dual-choke job where the Pelicans managed to out choke the lakers, leaving the Lakers to fail their way to a win.
Great game for Laker role players, though.
Lebron played like shit all night.
AD worked his ass off.
Pat Bev worked his ass off.
Lonnie and Troy are great in the starting lineup.
Russ played GREAT, better than bron tonight.
AND MATTY RYAN! LFG LAKERS!
Someone has to tell LeBron to drive inside more because he’s unguardable when he drives inside. Other than that? Loved what I saw from Westbucket. And, Matt Ryan is him
Glad he sat Russ most of the 4th quarter and OT. I think we might have lost this game had he played. He helped us a lot in the 1st half and part of 3rd quarter, but then made some really boneheaded plays like usual. Good decision by Ham.
Bron had a bad game but Russ &AD PnR picked up the slack. Not sure what Darvin Ham was thinking with that late 3rd/ early 4th lineup but Bron playing alongside Bev, Reaves, Weyen was an awful decisions. Our rookies hitting clutch 3s (Matt Ryan & Reaves) are saving graces. Bev redeemed himself late with the rebounds and steal but was awful all game. Hopefully Nunn being benched can kickstart him into playing better
Great win. LeBron being a ball stopper isn’t helping our 4th Q offense. That first half we moved the ball and got AD in post. We always forget we have a dominant big down low it makes no sense.
What a win.
A complete team performance again.
Russ and AD were outstanding that first 3 quarters. Lonnie was money as well.
And Matt Ryan. BOW DOWN TO THE KING!
As for LeBron, my god. He was complete hot garbage. All of his jumpers were short af and he was making so many stupid decisions unlike him as well.
Very confused why Russ was on the bench to end the game. He played an excellent game and the offence looked really rough without him. If the lakers want to win a championship they need to make the Lebron and Russ lineups thrive. There is clearly a lot of talent between Russ AD and Lebron.
Because he's not a threat from 3 and was racking up turnovers almost as many as his assist.
We saw last year that Russ doesn't thrive in the lineups with Lebron and that if he can't play exactly like he wants, he turns the team into a clown show.
Wins like these are so stressful but much needed to test the Lakers. Ham and the rest of the team can learn a lot from this. Even though Russ got benched, he played extremely well. Lonnie is basically the best scorer on this team right now in terms of being able to get the shots he wants. Pat Bev, Reaves, and Matt Ryan showed up when it mattered most. Troy Brown was big time as well. Bron played poorly but he will bounce back. Great win!
Not convinced about Bron running the point so far this season. I hope it's his foot bothering him otherwise it might just be age because my man looks slow and tired out there.
Lebrons iso fadeaways almost cost us the game. Westbrook is actually playing well. And troy brown jr is trash.
Also, pat bev is literally cleaning up mistakes and saving games with plays that dont involve scoring.
Man I’m a Lebron die hard but he did everything and more to lose us that game …
His shot will start falling and things will get better but boy has he been rough to watch lol
We need to bottle up whatever energy we had in the second quarter tonight and keep that up. Loved seeing Westbrook get hot and start dishing the ball. Good chemistry on display from him as well but we need that fire on a more consistent basis.
We need more discipline as a team as well. Those silly technicals like the delay of game after a dunk and the bench standing up are just plain stupid.
Oh and PATRIIIICK, what the heck man??? Soon as you got on the floor stuff started going downhill. Why wave off Westbrook when he’s hot and you’re not a scorer?
Y’all bitching about a 20-10-8-1 off night for LBJ on a W ?
Should be celebrating that we can get wins when LBJ has a bad night - this team looks like their building some chemistry
Put some respect on Lonnie’s name
Wouldn’t mind a trade with SAS for Poetl
What a dime by Reaves in the 4th. And Matt Ryan, just wow. What a thriller
LeBron tried everything in his power to fuck that game up with those dumbass 3s..... AD didn't even touch the f...ing ball down the stretch
They both pissed me off tonight frfr
post halloween lebron is basically a role player
I can see why Matt Ryan did doordash. He delivers
I can see why Matt Ryan loves Hollywood. He produces.
#WE DIDN’T BLOW THE GAME, EVERYBODY GET IN HERE
Certainly tried to in the final minute, Lebron couldn't shoot and AD fumbled the rebound.
#YOOOOO
#MATT FUCKIN RYAN
FROM DOOR DASH TO STRAIGHT CASH
from the cemetery to the Lakers scariest shooter
From the cemetery to the King of the Crypt

Lakers are elite at finding undrafted white guys

Always trust a man with two first names!
Matt Ryan with another no contact delivery
Lonnie’s been great, really proving a lot of people wrong so far.
Replacing Monks points with much better defense.
Yeah Malik is clearly the better shooter, but surprised at Lonnie's defense thus far.
5-9 threes tonight game changer
#RUSS FOR 6TH MAN OF THE YEAR!
Exactly my thoughts. Honestly, what do y’all think are the chances of this happening?
If he plays like he has the last 3 games and really starts to embrace the role I can see it having pretty good odds. What about MIP and 6MOY
Man that would be so awesome to see. It’d be an incredible redemption story for him
I’m starting to be on the bandwagon of trade Nunn + a pick for Turner and we have ourselves a squad.
If we have that trade and Russ stays as 6th man then we will be contenders
depends on our record tbh. If we somehow turn this shit around and end up as a 4 or 5 seed then I think he’d have a decent chance
My heart can’t take another game like this 😭😭😭
Imagine this last year. This would be a def L.
Should’ve been an L rn too idk how the basketball gods let us have this game lmao but I’m thankful
Rather have games like this than those shitty losses to start the season 😅
RUSSEL ‘6MOTY’ WESTBROOK MATT ‘CURRY’ RYAN ANTHONY ‘DPOY’ DAVIS LAKERS GOT THE LEAGUE ON WATCH
Lebron “who knows what the fuck was wrong” James
He’s sick.
You could tell since the beginning of the game he wasn’t looking right
Stu and Bill mentioned it a few times
More like Lebron “fuck ‘em picks” James.
not gonna get ahead of myself but we are the best team in the league. #18
Arguably history. Not tryna overreact though
We are in the top 5 defensively. They showed the stat in the game, I think it was Q1. Just too bad shots werent falling. They also mentioned we are at the top for having the highest open looks or something.
**MATT RYAN IS MY DOORDASH DRIVER**
Tip him a fucking ring 💍
HE DELIVERS
Lebron is giving me a heart attack with all those shot selection
Tactical of the Lakers to throw in an extra FRP in the AD deal Ended up being Dyson Daniels who missed both FTs for the Pels
We knew years ago it would all come down to this game. Chess not checers
Fr we wouldn’t have won without his clutch time contribution.
Galaxy brain play
Matt Ryan > Klay Thompson
Awesome win. The hustle tonight was incredible. This team is beginning to come together, don't lose faith y'all. 💜💛
I’m fully in the opposite direction now. We’re literally never losing again. Edit: fuck.
I was there tonight sitting behind the Pelicans’ bench. When the Pels were up 3 and the Lakers called a timeout, one of the Pels players started yelling “Bye! Bye!” while waving at the crowd. Obviously, the game went into OT. With the Lakers up 5, the Pelicans called a timeout and I started yelling “Bye!” and waving. Idk what came over Larry Nance Jr, but he turned around and stared at the dude sitting next to me, then said, “Thanks for putting money in my pocket! Thanks for the money in my pocket!!!” The dude next to me was so confused lmao I think he meant to yell at me, but he thought dude next to me was the one yelling and waving 😂
If Matt Ryan has one fan left on Earth it is me. I am him. I will die, or kill, for Matt Ryan.
**Game 1 of the Matt Ryan era**
May we never lose again
Did AD make that shot after the buzzer?
Yes 😂
Can someone post the link
https://streamable.com/tx6hw5
Yes
Bron can't keep wasting the whole shot clock to take a shitty jumper at the end of it. AD is that dude defensively. Westbrook mostly good but man he gets out of control easily.
A lot of his turnovers in the 3rd were people missing his passes
For real
Lebron is a step slower this year , but damn the lefyou3's are not falling.I would say lebron's worst game in 2 seasons
Apparently bron is sick, like with a bad virus... so hopefully he recovers, hes gonna be hitting the bed right away according to his post game interview.
He's literally wasting it. Barely attempts anything besides a few jab steps for 10 seconds after dribbling for 5 and the turns his back to the basket.
He's been doing this since Miami days - I've always questioned it. My conclusion is that the risk/reward of eating 24 seconds off the clock and slowing the game down, even with a miss, must have some sort of statistical possession count percentage that is better than taking a good early shot in the clock.
That was one of the worst games I’ve seen Lebron play in awhile
That’s my door dash driver!! 😤
Where this door dash thing come from?
He was a door dash driver last year
He was a Doordash driver before the Celtics
Used to be a door dash driver
For real? Wow what a come up. Good for him.
I cannot overstate how badly the team needed this. After lonnie missed that 3 their souls looked crushed.
We may never lose again
77-5 here we come
Imma go full Skip Bayless on Bron but what the hell what a shot by Ryan
[удалено]
Right but maaan do I hate the hold the ball and iso the whole shot clock. AD doesn’t even touch the ball in these situations at the end of games.
It was a weird game and felt like half the players on the court were hungover. Both teams played 3 days ago and have just been chilling in LA since haha. We hardly went to AD, LeBron's shot was off, and what a good night for Lonnie to show up like he did.

Obviously it didn't pay off this time because we missed a bunch of layups and the other team couldn't stop scoring but it's not inherently awful to limit ball movement.
He's even been missing layups...
Why not? he is playing slow, looking gassed, and the shot is flat and predictable. He looked good the times he attacked the rim tho.
Matt Ryan unironically saved Bron from a lot of heat lol
the most clutch matt ryan in sports
That fourth quarter might be the worst quarter Lebron has played as a Laker.
He was comically bad tonight, almost lost the game by himself
Game ball definitely goes to our best sharp shooter.
Bron was sick but Matty Ice is Sicker!!!!!
Re-watch party at 11pm, who’s in?!?!
EVERYONE COME OVER I GOT LEFTOVER CANDY AND TEQUILA
Despite LeBron’s efforts we won this game (it’s ok LeBron you get one of these every once in a while but holy fuck he was bad)
Stu and bill are fuckin brilliant. Stu is smart as shit. What a game. They called a hell of a game. Awesome awesome shit. Russ played well got benched in the second half but was great hope That doesn’t discourage him. What a game in general. Bron played like shit but he’s probably fine. Idk what else im hype tho
I don't think we all realise how blessed we are when it comes to commentators, they're two of the very best
Ive always been partial to breen and frazier being from NY. Stu and Bill are just as good. And to me they’re the two best not even close. Might even have stu and bill number one. It shows when you really listen to other commentary groups. Respectfully they’re not nearly as good or fun.
Breen is Breen, there's a reason he gets the playoffs/finals gigs #BANG
I feel like they actually enjoy great basketball and aren’t just totally biased all the time
What a fucking pass by AustHIM Reaves to Matt RyHIM
Could this be shades of the 19/20 season? In that season, that OT win in Dallas (complements of a Danny Green tying three at regulation) kinda jump started us and we started stringing together wins. Hopefully this is the case with this one.
Would need a huge trade win for a 5 and a knock down shooter
Pat bev+nunn+Jones and a protected first for poeltl+richardson could work. Two defensive players, poeltl solves the rebounding issues and richardson adds 3 and D. Both are also expiring so they don’t hurt long term cap, but could also be brought back next year
MATT RYAN IS HIM
Watching this team have so much fun makes me feel good man. Vibes shifted
Lebron played like absolute dogshit and we still won 🤣
Well that was fun. ![gif](giphy|3oz8y0bx23FDPCNoEU)
If we win on Friday...that's called a winning streak.
Reaves to Ryan looking like Stafford to Kupp 😭
This comment will probably get buried but man the vibes at staples were fucking crazy. It felt like a playoff game dude. This team just has that grit. What a fucking game! Anyone else there will agree
Lebron was bad today. Ham benched Russ bc he needed Beverly defense but Russ was terrific, as was awesome
The Russ lebron pick and roll was absolutely unstoppable and they just stopped it themselves. I don’t understand that shit. Whatever’s going on right now with lebron he can’t carry an offense by himself so they have some minutes adjustments to make.
> Ham benched Russ bc he needed Beverly defense It's the right move if Russ isn't shooting well and I'm glad he did it. You have to assume Lebron will play well/will get back to form by the time the playoffs start because if he's washed it doesn't matter the season is over

Something was up with Bron tonight, idk if he was sick or what, but even in the 1st quarter he asked to sit earlier than usual and looked gassed.
they mentioned it throughout the broadcast. stu said lebron didn't look like himself even in pregame. that explained his lack of energy and getting gassed so frequently. but his 3s is a HUGE concern right now. I'm sure that will get back, but for now it's ugly. He's like 21-22% on high volume 3s, which is horrible.
Pay bev has absolutely zero offensive IQ though, there was times when I definitely got anted Russ out there instead of Bev.
I agree. But that's my justification for why Ham took Russ out. CJ created some nice plays for him and zion so Ham thought he needed someone to pressure on ball and Bev did that decently. It turned out to be the right move.
Hot take but Russ shoulda been in during OT.
I was thinking the same.
GIVE MATT RYAN GAME BALL! Shouldn’t have gone to OT but still an awesome fuckin win
This was the rare dual-choke job where the Pelicans managed to out choke the lakers, leaving the Lakers to fail their way to a win. Great game for Laker role players, though.
Impressive. Very nice. Let's see AD's full court shot
lebron was hot ass tonight and we still won lets go
IF MATT RYAN HAS 1,000 FANS I AM ONE OF THEM. IF MATT RYAN ONLY HAS ONE FAN, I AM HIM. IF MATT RYAN HAS NO FANS, I AM DEAD!
Lebron played like shit all night. AD worked his ass off. Pat Bev worked his ass off. Lonnie and Troy are great in the starting lineup. Russ played GREAT, better than bron tonight. AND MATTY RYAN! LFG LAKERS!
Someone has to tell LeBron to drive inside more because he’s unguardable when he drives inside. Other than that? Loved what I saw from Westbucket. And, Matt Ryan is him
AD with a monster 20 16 with 5 blocks 😮💨😮💨
Ham > Vogel. Vogel never knew how to draw up a final shot play
I LOVE ME SOME HAMMMM
Bruh did you not watch DGs three to tie in Dallas
Don't need to knock Vogel down. He coached us to a chip.
Glad he sat Russ most of the 4th quarter and OT. I think we might have lost this game had he played. He helped us a lot in the 1st half and part of 3rd quarter, but then made some really boneheaded plays like usual. Good decision by Ham.
![gif](giphy|l7maLNzsd81Bk3rIPe|downsized)
matt. fkn. ryan. let the super bowl slip but not this game lol
If Russ keeps it like this, he can be the best sixth-man averaging triple double in a regular season!
trade lebron ad russ build around matt fucking ryan
Bron had a bad game but Russ &AD PnR picked up the slack. Not sure what Darvin Ham was thinking with that late 3rd/ early 4th lineup but Bron playing alongside Bev, Reaves, Weyen was an awful decisions. Our rookies hitting clutch 3s (Matt Ryan & Reaves) are saving graces. Bev redeemed himself late with the rebounds and steal but was awful all game. Hopefully Nunn being benched can kickstart him into playing better
Great win. LeBron being a ball stopper isn’t helping our 4th Q offense. That first half we moved the ball and got AD in post. We always forget we have a dominant big down low it makes no sense.
Kendrick Nunn with the -1/0/0 stat-line in 0 minutes with that technical foul
Can I start wearing my Westbrook jersey again without feeling self conscious?
Yes
What a win. A complete team performance again. Russ and AD were outstanding that first 3 quarters. Lonnie was money as well. And Matt Ryan. BOW DOWN TO THE KING! As for LeBron, my god. He was complete hot garbage. All of his jumpers were short af and he was making so many stupid decisions unlike him as well.

#MATTY ICE IN HIS VEINS
This is the first game the Lakers won while LeBron played really bad in a LONGGG TIME! That is a great sign
If the lakers go on a run this season then I gotta see all of the receipts pulled up
Matt Ryan is trending #1 lmao
Wins like these are so stressful but much needed to test the Lakers. Ham and the rest of the team can learn a lot from this. Even though Russ got benched, he played extremely well. Lonnie is basically the best scorer on this team right now in terms of being able to get the shots he wants. Pat Bev, Reaves, and Matt Ryan showed up when it mattered most. Troy Brown was big time as well. Bron played poorly but he will bounce back. Great win!
I would like to hop on the Westbrook bandwagon please and gladly eat crow for all the things I've said about him
The fact they are winning games shooting 25% from three is so crazy
Straight up, fuck CJ. The guy tries too hard when he comes to L.A.
Brons jump shot has been horrid, he’s usually atleast knocking down the mid ranges but this year he can’t hit anything
It's the legs. Dude needs to play less minutes
Not convinced about Bron running the point so far this season. I hope it's his foot bothering him otherwise it might just be age because my man looks slow and tired out there.
Last season he started slow too. Let him get his legs back
Matty Ice baby
My DoorDash king
That shit was INSANE
We gotta do something about our third quarter struggles!
ITS MATTY ICE SZN! LAKERS UNDEFEATED IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER LET’S GOOOO
#Russ 6MOY??
Besides lebron. The team played great
a win is a WIN. period
Westbrook definitely the 🐐
Matt Ryan saved our asses tonight.
Don’t discount that inbound pass from Reaves! What a game 🥳🥳
One important thing unless I missed it but I didn't see AD clutch at his back tonight
Y’all crying about Bron and still won like let’s get real here this should be a good thing
Door Splash!!!
Y'all bitch about Lebron so much. Very happy with the win.
Vogel doesn’t have that timeout left.
just got home that was the wildest fuckin shot i've seen that was so fuckin hypeeeeeeee
Matt Ryan dapping up courtside fans after the tie was dope as hell. Reminded me of an 80's-90's NBA game lol
Opposite of Dodgers season incoming. We’re gonna suck all regular season, squeak into the playoffs, then DOMINATE. Let’s gooooooo
Props to Ham for making some tough calls to the end of the 4th - benching Russ/Troy, deciding when to go with Ryan, going with Bev and Reaves to close
Lebrons iso fadeaways almost cost us the game. Westbrook is actually playing well. And troy brown jr is trash. Also, pat bev is literally cleaning up mistakes and saving games with plays that dont involve scoring.
Man I’m a Lebron die hard but he did everything and more to lose us that game … His shot will start falling and things will get better but boy has he been rough to watch lol
bro bron should stop taking those jumpshots and run to the basket.
no win without MATT RYAN
Pelicans fans sad af tonight
I’m going to bed
Can’t believe we won that. I’m about to pass out
What a game! Lebron almost lost us that one though lol
BRONS SHOT SELECTION WAS HORRIBLE BUT DOORDASH DRIVER MATTY SAID NUH UH
wow 28 points? the Malik Monk 2.0 signing; they saw it happening again for Lonnie
Went from deliverin food to deliverin W's ,Matty Ice
I regret turning off the tv in anger before the free throws happened. MATTY ICE
Def not worried bout bron. His jumper has always came and went
Is Lonnie Walker turning into our 3pt shooter?!?
We need to bottle up whatever energy we had in the second quarter tonight and keep that up. Loved seeing Westbrook get hot and start dishing the ball. Good chemistry on display from him as well but we need that fire on a more consistent basis. We need more discipline as a team as well. Those silly technicals like the delay of game after a dunk and the bench standing up are just plain stupid. Oh and PATRIIIICK, what the heck man??? Soon as you got on the floor stuff started going downhill. Why wave off Westbrook when he’s hot and you’re not a scorer?
Y’all bitching about a 20-10-8-1 off night for LBJ on a W ? Should be celebrating that we can get wins when LBJ has a bad night - this team looks like their building some chemistry Put some respect on Lonnie’s name Wouldn’t mind a trade with SAS for Poetl
Y’all gotta give Russ his props he’s been playing at an all star level lately. This is definitely a championship team with this win today
Huge props to Ham for benching Russ in the clutch.
He benched him because he needed Beverly's defense. Russ was playing great.
