They have no rim protection now, no reason why we can’t win
Concussions suck tho, Rest up rook
Pretty good fortune for us he’s a menace down low defensively.
LET’S GET GREEDY
Unironically a huge deal for us
We should be able to absolutely cook Utah in the paint now
AD is putting up another 40 piece
Clippers suns game is becoming even more important
As sad as that is for him and the Jazz, This is actually huge for us. Jazz now have zero rim protection.
AD is just gonna repeat another 38+ point game with ease, the greatest of ease.
Finally a fucking break
So Olynyk, Lauri, JTA, THT, Clarkson, sexton?
Well, we’ll give them the lottery odds in exchange for a couple of wins I guess
Doesn’t matter. Win the game.
Hopefully they rest Lauri as well.
Sucks for Kessler to end his season on a concussion. He’s been so good for the Jazz, that trade was a fleece.
Shit man. Concussions aren’t fun. I’ve had two and I don’t think I can wish it on my worst enemy.
Objectives for tomorrow:
– win in utah
– blow out utah so you can rest everyone ideally the majority of the second half
– get out without injuries —> looking at you Kelly olynk
Who shall we rest then?
Kid has a bright future. He balled out this season
Concussions are no joke. Hope he’s good
This kid is a baller. Get better soon!
Doesn’t make a difference or make the game easier. Lakers should approach every game the same regardless of who it out there
Markkanen and Kessler are gonna be such a good front court. If they can add a solid PG in the next couple years they will be very good again.
72% is crazy efficient lol
The 10 are set all about positioning at this point.
Walker Kessler could have done 80% of the job Gobert is doing, salary is a fraction of Rudy and not cost the many many assets. If people think AD trade was an overpay i don’t know what this is…is there even a word
Fuck concussions! All my homies hate concussions.

That sucks. Hope he recovers with no long term damage.
I remember when my head hit the hardwood once I was watching Tom and Jerry reruns in my head for the next week
#AD FEAST
Poor guy, conçussions can be far worse than people think. It isn’t just daze – their can be nausea/vomiting, dizziness, pain, etc. He’ll get better soon though
Jazz keep on giving
Sheesh we really caught a break, anyone who’s watched the Jazz knows Kessler’s defense is legit. I still would favor the Lakers regardless but now there’s absolutely no reason to lose the Jazz games
I’m a Jazz/Laker fan, they’re tanking so it should work out just great for LA. Big ups to Walker though, hope he feels better soon, he’s been incredible thus far.
THT Revenge Game intensity increased
Jazz games looking like trap games. Need to stay focused
I mean, not exactly happy about this
So should AD skip this game since he doesn’t play back-to-backs? That way he will be available for the Clippers game?
Blow them out. Bron and ad sit the 4th. And can play the next night v the clips at close to full strength(still think bron sits tho)
Time for Tht to end our season 😭
I would not play Ad this jazz game bro
Those are rookie numbers
