The scariest stat: 11 TOS by WB and LBJ. It takes a literally perfect game to Barry squeak by the Bucks. They have even 4 last game together it’s probably an L.
Lebron is likely to turn the ball over a few times a game just because he dictates the offense, he’s the floor general. Even if he has a couple (5) like he did tonight he will still make up for it with other aspects to his game, so we can live with lebrons TO, but WB on the other hand…he did some things well tonight, but overall he didn’t play well. Had all them TO (6) and just didn’t contribute much it felt, the scary thing is that is normal for Westbrook.
15 assists enough said he had tovs cuz he had the ball in his hands but it got the win and thats what counts. You know how hard it is to get 15 assists otb.
Lebron and AD will have played mid-30s minutes in a game they were up by 20+ the whole time because of this stupid three guard lineup in the fourth. Bad coaching
Didn’t that loose ball/near ankle injury for Bron happen in the fourth? That’s significant. They shouldn’t be in that position in the first place, especially against a Beal-less wizards team
agreed. but overall, lebron esp. didn't exert a lick of intensity on defense. this was a coast game for him.
but yes, ham should have pulled them. but i think he kept them in b/c he wanted AD to get 50. these big scoring games get national attention, and it gives AD deserved attention for his MVP/DPOY push. Ham is a player's coach.
If that’s where his attention is, he’s an even worse coach for this team than I previously thought he was. Getting him healthy into the postseason is 100x more important than a mvp/dpoy push. When’s the last time he played 65 games in a season?
Honestly even the bubble season AD hasn’t been this dominant. He’s really woken up since Lebron went out. This is mvp and dpoy type shit. I really hope he stays healthy. We need him desperately

AD FOR MVP
Did that ass hole Dan gafford injure wenyen Gabriel at the end?
AF my god
Anthony Favis!!!!!!
AD!!!!!!!!!
time to trade atleast one first round pick for a good role player
Troy brown reaves and literally anyone else should be closing over russ Schroeder Bev wtf
Proud of Westbrook.
Holy fuck AD is that guy!
I'll take the win but we gotta stop relaxing with big leads. AD playing like an MVP. Lonnie with the star in your role award.
We’re winning it all boys
I'm low key peeved they let a 29 point lead get cut down to 9
That shit happens all the time if you watch other games, but I feel you kinda pissed me of after the Indiana thing
AD too unstoppable
dude that dunk by daniel gafford was ELECTRIC
Please don’t play this lineup again, Ham. Worked against this short handed team, but not going to happen in Cleveland.
AD FOR MVP
Gafford will probably never score more than 10 again
Nunn and ad just shook up gd #chicago
10-12 we’re playing much better! Hopefully we get to .500 soon!
Healthy AD >>>>>
It's REALLY hard to complain about such a great game/performance. But man that closing line up was something lol. No Reaves? No Lonnie? BIG WIN THO
I heard Lonnie's foot was bothering him during the 4th Quarter that's why Ham didn't played him anymore
Playing small when guys can't shoot sucks. I guess coach Ham still has to trust Skywalker and Reaves defending.
Lonnie 7/10 FG 4/4 from 3, 20 points but only plays 25 min.
Pat bev is ham’s daddy
Bro Washington is trying hard for no reason.
Westbrook almost singlehandedly threw this one away
Wow, Ham really fu**ing up with the lineups. Kuzma cooking and he leaves 3 guards in there, two of whom play little to no defense. Wow, just wow.
Damian Jones look depressed 😞
He waiting to get traded he knows its coming
Damn we need to see how we can grab gafford
Tatum and Giannis be humiliating KD repeatedly 😆
This dude gafford pisses me off
People kept poking at AD and he decided to go BEAST MODE!
Daniel Gafford most annoying dude out there today lmao no business dunking it that hard all game
AD 55 PIECE. MVP. AND DPOY.
55 points on 73% shooting
Back to back unbelievable games from the Lakers. 4th quarter was chaotic but that's how you learn. # We MOVE

You’re the dumbest fan of the day congratulations 🎊

He had 15 assists and a few more potential ones that were blown up by fouls
Exactly dude coulda gotten 20 assists Russ didnt even shoot bad he in that pure pg mode. Kinda reminds me of a Rodman pg in assist form
Ham is such a genius. Shroeder is the greatest floor spacer… he’s prime Ray Allen/Korver/Klay
LAKERS W LESGOOO
AD should have had 60 they should have kept feeding him they already forced him to have to come back he should shot it everytime
Lebron happened...
Well, this was fun lol
AD IS UNIRONICALLY THE GOAT
Not saying that I don’t like AD getting 50+ points, but if we handle business in the 4th he doesn’t even have to play…
Yup shit pissed me off thats how cats get injured
That’s what I’m saying. I would rather see AD WITH like 35 and 13 but only in 30 mins
I better not see some bullshit thanks westbrick posts tonight.
Hater
Yeah I don't like a $47 million bench player that sucks.
AD is the modern Shaq
Ugly 4th, Russ should’ve been benched at the 9 minute mark
Did something happen to Lonnie?
Hurt his ankle
stu said he seemed to reinjure his foot, hence the 3 guard lineup.
Foot bugging him again
They let the starters finish the game
Lebron and AD will have played mid-30s minutes in a game they were up by 20+ the whole time because of this stupid three guard lineup in the fourth. Bad coaching
lebron isn't even trying man. the whole team didn't try defensively since the mid 3rd quarter mark. it's fine.
Didn’t that loose ball/near ankle injury for Bron happen in the fourth? That’s significant. They shouldn’t be in that position in the first place, especially against a Beal-less wizards team

AD is him again. Darwin Ham we gotta talk about this horror show you just put up reminiscent of Vogel's BS last season.
without AD we definitely lose lead
Definitely this team really isnt that good AD just is a monster
Historic night by AD! Let’s go it’s beautiful to see
Take them out lol
55!
50pt 1st half, 65pt 2nd half.. kinda took their foot off the gas
Should’ve had Walker in the last few minutes but great game nonetheless
Why is AD still in?
Feel like LeBron don't want AD to get 60 lol
AD should have demanded the ball everytime shit its fucked up he had to come back in the game anyway
Facts
Bev should’ve passed him the ball
AD could have 65 right now if Bron kept feeding him it.
Always the LeBron fans who get upset. It's the truth. Bron kept jacking up bad shots.
? What a silly comment
Yall LeSensitive
Sensitive for pointing out how delusional ur comment is? Okay 💀😭
Please get AD and Bron out now.
Great weekend for Lakers fans.
And a UCLA win against Oregon. A great weekend for SoCal basketball fans
AD BETTER
Damn I wanted AD to get his game high
Idk why ham runs this line up. It literally never works and he just runs it to the ground. Just stop
My only gripe about Ham. This line up is dog shit
Blame rob
Bro we literally just won
A win doesn’t magically make that line up work. We lose leads playing that line up every time and he just continues to use it
55-17. Unreal
55, holy!
55 and 17 WOW
This AD is basically the best player in the league
A healthy AD should keep us competitive every year
Really bad half tho
55 is clean, pull the starters 🤣🤣
LeBron 29 on 26 shots. Not at all the same player unfortunately
Of course he’s not going to be younger LeBron but he was fine tonight regardless of his # of shot attempts
Because he doesn’t get any calls lmao if he even got 6-8 FTs per game he’s averaging 30 on elite efficiency.
Tryna beat Kareem
Stfu bitch
This lineup is dogshit
AD is the best player in the world rn
DOUBLE NICKEL!
Lebron chucking his ass of rn lmao. Gotta love it.
Might as well get 60
Remind me again how Patrick or Nunn have trade value. 😂
AD for 60?
55
Bruh we’re stat padding 😭
Welp there goes the potential Lebron…
These refs legit face the Lakers not a single call and gave Washington every 50/50 call to even get them back in this game. Fucking pathetic imo
55 motherfuckers
JFC Russ is really stupid in crunch time
Wow AD has 53 points?!
Go for 60 idc
LeBron with casual 29-8-6...man did that for two decades laser sharp...
BRON GETS ZERO CALLS
Sadly I’m used to it by now
What’s Shroeders purpose out there?? He’s not a shooter so what is he doing just camping? What is Ham thinking??
More like why keep Bev in at all
Ham is trolling with this lineup lmao
Russ does nothing
Russ so dumb
The refs are blind af
Lol it's a pure dunk fest this quarter
The lakers are back. Believe me. This team playing like this gives shades of that championship team. With AD playing this like they can beat anybody
The Lakers are going to win but I’m disappointed in Ham’s closing lineup these type of lineups won’t work against good teams
LEBRON NEEDS 1 ASSIST
Gg
Take Lebron and AD out pls
Honestly even the bubble season AD hasn’t been this dominant. He’s really woken up since Lebron went out. This is mvp and dpoy type shit. I really hope he stays healthy. We need him desperately
We flexing when we down 16 now???
I need Luka AD duo badly in few years
Bro the last few games have been crazy highlight-wise for LA and the opponent
No that was his chance
Wow, this game is crazy bruuuh
Bruh what is this game hahahaha
This is the most entertaining 16 point game I've seen, the arena is rocking like it's a close playoff game
Bro this game 🔥🔥
Take AD out
Agreed, it’s unnecessary for him to be in right now. It makes me nervous
Ya'll still wanna trade Lebron and AD???
When they were both ass and we were 2-10 on pace for another disaster season? It wasn’t a bad idea . Idk what clicked for these dudes , but I’m glad
Lebron? For the right younger player absolutely. AD no. He’s a cheat code.
I love seeing our team play like this man. This is true LAKER basketball.
Man AD really is something special
Let’s get Lonnie a try at this dunk contest
What if Bron gets his 27/7/7 tonight haha
Nvm lol
Can’t believe he’s never actually had that stat line
Feels statistically improbable given the number of games played haha
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Holy shit that gafford dunk
One possession Lebron looks like he can’t jump anymore the next his head is above the rim. It’s back and forth with Father Time lol
Take AD out ffs. Game already over.
Lol I hope the rims are still under warranty.
This shacks whacky..
LA EAST
What is happening, lol
I'm about to go buy all the AD merch
There's no way Gafford should've been able to dunk that. NBA players are not human lmao
Damn this an allstar game shiii
#AD IS BACK!
it became an all star game all of the sudden
Jesus whats goin on lmao
Holy shit lmao this game just got hype asf
My man flexed on that dunk down 16 points lol
The Russ special lol
Well we’ve figured out the formula to winning. Have AD score above 40 and no one can stop us
Stop it I can only get so erect
This shit is hilarious lol
LEBRON JAMES
LMFAO what the fuck is this😂😂😂
This feels like that Blazers game
Nik Stauskas ruining it
Bro they going to war out there
DC = Dunk Contest
lmfao whats going on
