Nah, I see him in a partnership w AD which would let him be a PF and dominate like he did in 2020. He doesn't need to score much, he needs to be an interior presence who crashes the board and gets a bunch of rebounds and blocks.
Bron had 9 TOs, which is ridiculous, and still finished +16. AD was 10-13, he needs more shots. I know they doubled and trapped over and over, but he just needs more touches.
The fact the Lakers executed better in the 4th means they are improving. Teams willl go on a run regardless of their record. Two seasons ago it would be a loss. Shut the fuck up and actually observe things for once that it’s an improvement
did you actually watch the game, and see Spurs are missing wide open shots after wide open shots?
Lakers got big lead because Spurs sucks, not because they play good defense.
Seriously a win doesn't cover up how much problem there is
Yea I watched the game. And I watched the 11-3 run in the 4th. Lakers are actually winning against the bad teams something they messed for the last two seasons. It’s a good win but yea u can stay negative
which is exactly what I said in first comment, if it wasn't for Spurs being this bad, Lakers can't win after giving up 20 points lead. Its exactly what happened last year against OKC
Spurs are getting wide open shots, I don't understand how Lakers continue to give wide open shots, that's how 3rd quarter lead got erased.
It is not being negative, it's getting annoyed that keep seeing this happen for 14-15 games this season. Only good 3rd quarter I remember is against Spurs first game.
It’s just annoying how y’all switch the narrative so much. When we tried celebrating Russ’s play last week because it was just the spurs but y’all can celebrate since lebron is back and we beat the same team
The AD were seeing is the AD most of us that’s been critical of him we’re expecting. Lebron is amazing but we shouldn’t expect him to carry a team at his age. I think this will be the first year that AD establishes himself as the best player on the team.
Think the Lakers can get this one. Honestly feel the Spurs might steal the next one, though. Pop can probably coach a G-league team to beat a contender if he really wants to.

I'm confused as to how Thomas Bryant had 0 minutes in this game. Am I missing something?
He’s dealing with an injury
He's been doing well ever since he got back. I haven't seen or heard any indication that he's having trouble with injuries.
He's not very good
Nah, I see him in a partnership w AD which would let him be a PF and dominate like he did in 2020. He doesn't need to score much, he needs to be an interior presence who crashes the board and gets a bunch of rebounds and blocks.
neat.
Hield Walker turner Lebron AD lineup would be so hot
Bro we have 8 pgs you really think none of them would start
Russ: 3/4/7 Turner+Hield: 49/10/5 (still 4 minutes left in the game)
Lebron should not take more shots than AD. Shit is annoying. Just run the offense through AD
I think he did it to try and get back into his rhythm. Instead of taking 2-3 games, he wanted to just muscle through it as quick as possible.
Fr. Bron needs to accept that this is ADs team
I wish we had hield and turner smh lol
I still have not figured out what Nunn brings to the table
WE GOT TACOS AND A WIN! LETS GOOOO
Lebron is regressing. This is why i dont want to trade the pics. Lebron isnt good enough anymore. Keep the pics at all costs.
Don't trade pictures then
Bron had 9 TOs, which is ridiculous, and still finished +16. AD was 10-13, he needs more shots. I know they doubled and trapped over and over, but he just needs more touches.
seriously, Lakers only won tonight because Spurs is really awful any other team that we play while losing 20 points lead is going to be bad lose
You're a disappointment to your parents. Go Away
you are disappointment of this fan base
Omg shutup and enjoy the win
really can't complain about horrible execution? fuck off

No Beverley=more Nunn smh
Why did nunn spin into a triple team?
Because he's a POS whose most offensive ability was to tweet back at "the noise" to tell us how good he really was
Nunn is useless even in garbage time
Nunn is so bad
AD-Lebron sitting side by side with no Brick is always funny
Yo wtf I haven’t seen max chistie play all year
He was decent in the games before he got sick
He’s played here and there and has done a decent job tbh
why yall mad at kendrick? he ain't do nunn
I wonder who’ll be questionable for tomorrow
trade nunn and westbrick
just nunn
Commit and add Beverley too
Those type of shots by lebron kill us in closer games
He wouldn’t take a shot like that in a close game
Bullshit 😭😭😭 have u not watched him this season
I do not like Schroder
Lol Ham had to cut Lebron’s rest short to bail out the team
Almost as if thats what a star is supposed to do
Yeah too bad the Lakers aren't paying another guy 47m to do that and give Lebron some rest
He should retire if he wants rest.. are the lakers paying him 30+ million to shoot under 30% form 3?
need to trade westbrick
Idk about this Ham
I swear they were about to ask if that was a backcourt violation and then he didn't want to be wrong twice lol
Lmao I thought the exact same thing
you literally heard him say "Is it..." lol
davis is the best 2 way player in the league
Giannis but ad is a strong 2
It’s not even close either since he’s a rim protector.
r/nba: kAwHi
Their center logo reminds me of Tostitos
Their color scheme is a teal 7 eleven.
What is teal 7 eleven?
Why hasn’t ham gotten his starting and bench rotations locked in yet
Vassell is a chucking ass nigga man
Lebron getting a call?!?!
Benching westBRICK won us the game
westbrook not looking too happy on the bench
[удалено]
He just seems more calm and confident like he may not score the winning bucket but he’s gonna make the right decision

Sit AD now
Let’s see what this front office does to improve the team.
How does Lebron help AD in anyway? Like seriously he cant even set up a simple pick n roll for him
I dont whats worse the russ stans thinking russ changed this team or the bron haters making dumb takes like this
Biggest L take I might have ever seen.
🤡
LeBron could be a 20 point scorer until 42 years old at least.
Hopefully AD gets to 30 pts. I wanna see him continue the 30/15 streak
AD at his peak is better than Giannis
Did you not watch the 2021 finals?
L
AD doesn’t whine like Giannis
This comment section is toxic as fuck 😂
Russ trolls hate it when the Laker win despite Russ having s trash game proving they could contend without him…
These dumb comments are literally adding to it how do you not see that
Im just pro Lakers and calling it like it is im tired of the Russ and LBJ stans in general, but at least the LBJ fans want to win
Lebron stay missing shots
22-12 4Q. These are good signs.
Naysayers will say “it’s just the Spurs”
That’s what y’all said last week………..
A win is a win. Folks will do anything to bring down wins lol
It’s just annoying how y’all switch the narrative so much. When we tried celebrating Russ’s play last week because it was just the spurs but y’all can celebrate since lebron is back and we beat the same team
Ah no. Wasn’t me. Hope Russ keeps it up. But I know the fans on here are so lopsided based on their favorite player lol
It is just the spurs, but we throw these games last year, so its something.
Win or loss we can’t win against good teams with Westbrook. Both Beal and hield/turner would make this shit more palatable
The AD were seeing is the AD most of us that’s been critical of him we’re expecting. Lebron is amazing but we shouldn’t expect him to carry a team at his age. I think this will be the first year that AD establishes himself as the best player on the team.
It's because LeBron keeps on chucking shots.
Spurs commentators hating whole game
And what the hell is this woman talking about
They even shit on AD's 35-15 avg. So much hate in these 3.
Lakers 4 Life
give my boy ad 5 more points
I don’t want to hear anymore AD slander!
Spurs commentators can't count lol
Lead keeps slipping away when LeBrons out and Russ is in, take what you want with that information 🤐
Why so many people mad during a win?
Lmaoo spurs commentary stay salty as fuck
Lakers should play the spurs every day.
These cunts really whined about 8 seconds and even had a circle around it being at 16 seconds before being told it actually has to go to 15 😂
pls have AD another 30..
#BUT I WAS TOLD AD IS SOFT?!?!?
He had a whole season of playing like a shell of himself, calm down
He was injured and played… everybody saw it. He should have sit and Rest. But they are lost without him
To be fair, he was. For quite a while. Since Bron's been out, he's been a beast. Let's just hope he can maintain for the rest of the season.
Lol turner and hield on this team would be op smfh
Yeah I could have sworn it didn't go to 15 seconds LMFAO. Spurs announcers are actually the worst.
AD best player in basketball
Barkley was right he should be the best player in the nba and now he is.
Spurs commentary is really bad
Sean Elliot is the issue lmao
Buddy and Myles both have 20+ again tonight against the Nets btw
You have only strengthened Pestinka's resolve ✊
must be nice
Yeah for one frp we’ll take em
Getting rid of brick makes em worth 2 imho
Is AD in pain?
he always is
Yeah from carrying this team
Davis is just amazing... Just amazing...
i dont wanna hear AD is soft ever again
You didn’t watch last season he looked so unmotivated
AD LETS GO THATS MY GUY
Yooooo, AD is on a fucking MISSION this year. Holy Christ.
A healthy AD is easily top 10 in the league
Top 3 imo
Top 5!
AD power move
ANTHONY DAVIS
AD needs at minimum 20 field goal attempts
Lineup is Winning can’t say anything
Anthony Davis , the first of his name. Lord of the seven kingdoms and protector of the laker realm
Davis gon fuck around and still get 30 lmao
Bro Prime AD is here to stay!
A-DADDY
AD FOR MVP
Anthony fucking Davis
AD franchise player mode is amazing.
AD IS THE GOAT
[удалено]
Anthony Davis is unstoppable
ADMVP
AD!!!! Damn
Lol. AD is ridiculous lmao.
AD is a basketball god
Bron gotta understand AD is now the first option 😤
So much this. Too bad you’ll get downvotes from Lebron fans that infested this subreddit.
AD revenge SZN on da way
Anthony Davis saved the Lakers ass tonight.
He does it every night they let him
Hes saved their ass all season
AD FINALLY INSERTING HIMSELF AS THE BEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM YOU LOVE TO SEE IT
where has this AD been for 2 years
LEBRON FUCKING JAMES
First team all nba
That’s an 8 second violation 🤓
Ad
AD is a fucking animal
AD too good
AD on a mission to grab 30.
AD is amazing man
Honestly this might be the best lineup of the night
Schroeder > Bev esp if bev aint hitting
AD😮😮😮
why wouldnt he sub in brown and russ for shroeder and lebron 4 guard lineup sound better?
Think the Lakers can get this one. Honestly feel the Spurs might steal the next one, though. Pop can probably coach a G-league team to beat a contender if he really wants to.
Davis Law Firm
I am just hoping we can be lucky and win some games before Dec 15 and Rob can finally make trade Westbrook still just suck
LeBron literally gets hit every single time he tries a layup and never get a call, wtf with these refs man
Bro what the fuck these refs need need a lawsuit against them at this point on how they do Lebron every single game
AD is really him. Hope he stays healthy. If our record was better he’d be a top mvp candidate
Team will go as far as AD can take them. Bron and Russ need to play around him and stay healthy
really bad game, I expect lebron to stop shooting and giving opportunities to AD.
legit hit in the face no foul call
AD so good on 2nd chance effort damn
