Stephen A! Get off the Lakers! Pay attention to your steelers and the knicks! Bcuz Lake show bout to give them beat down on espn!
Michael Wilbon can stay over on that side bruh. Don’t be switching up just cause all your peers are jumping on the Lakers hype train. I remember specifically him saying we wouldn’t make the playoffs even after the trade. Just stop it.
Jalen Rose is having a midlife hair crisis. This man doesn't know what hair style he wants to stick with. 😂🤣😅
Ion want to hear anything from Jalen Rose man. That dude is always backtracking his words when it comes to the Lakers
Not for long
Lakers record after trade deadline.
8-3 and without LeBron 4-2. With LeBron 3-0.
Lakers win 3 games and somehow its a story…
i just want the lakers healthy. it will be a fun ride.
Lakers winning the Chip this year, book it! 🎉
Lakers coming for that 6th seed.Go Lakers.
jalen pays all that money for a crooked hairline lol.
Watch out western conference
hope wilbon keep that same energy for KD
These players respect AD and Bron
That boyyy AR-15 is nice, hope they keep them
Let’s go lakers 🏆
Lakers is very good in drafting white boys that can play
Hyping the Lakers too much so that when they lose they will get all the hate. Give this team a space to breathe lol.
Nobody finds it funny that when the Lakers are bad, the roster moves are blamed on lebron. When the roster is successful, the credit goes to rob palinka. 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
They're just gifting the lakers wins to keep LeBum happy. Mickey Mouse Champion is his Lakers legacy
Rob! Please keep this team next year!;)
Russ wasn’t the problem.
But it looks like Lebron is.
Glass man scored 8 points in his last. Holding down what. Dlo went off
Summer is very obvious for the Lakers in my view.
Let Lonnie leave. Give the MLE to Troy Brown. That means Dennis leaves so pick up another cheap PG in free agency to replace him. Then trade Beasley with the pick to find a better more well rounded starting guard. Someone like KCP for example.
DLo/KCP/Bron/Vando/AD as a starting 5 is contending, plus then a back up 5 of a new PG/Reaves/TBJ/Rui/Bamba.
I’d maybe consider trading Bamba too for a center who’s better defensively, and on draft night you could always include the 23 pick to sweeten a deal but not sure who’s out there for circa $10m a year
The last sentence by Jalen – "Sacramento, I hope this doesnt happen to you". That would be crazy if LAL get the SAC in the 1st round!
AD fooled us all he’s playing different when the playoffs near
Just needs to be consistent I think this Lakers have a chance to make to the playoffs
Let's be honest: Even most diehard Laker fans didn't see this kind of success coming, after LeBron got hurt. And who could blame anyone? It's not often where LeBron is the injured one, AD is the healthy one carrying the team most nights, and the bench is doing a fantastic job. It's why so many folks here are pleasantly surprised and excited about their Lakers. It's a great development. Rob Pelinka merits some respect as a GM, for once.
I have been a critic of Davis, but I am happy he is finally playing with effort. Hopefully, he will keep it up.
Please stay healthy AD
It would be hilarious if Sacramento runs into a healthy lakers in the first round and get swept. They've been ballin the whole season and might get nothing for being great during the regular seson for the first time in 20 (?) years…
Jalen Rose's hair is friggin comical at this point.
Lebron steals everyone’s efficiency that’s why the winning spreading the wealth no pressure to exceed his expectations on the floor with him every night
Like DLo said. If these dudes had a training camp, it would be a wrap.
"Sacramento I hope that this doesn't happen to you"😂💯
The talk should be about the Sacramento Kings not the Lakers. 2nd place in the West, come on ESPN!
I love what I'm seeing from the Lakers. Hopefully AD can stay healthy. We all know how brittle he is. The sky is the limit if AD and Lebron are healthy.
Stop speaking injuries into existence y’all must not know the power of the tongue 🤦🏾♂️ just saying AD is playing good and move on 😂
