No shot without Lebron.
Gunna be tough with Dennis throwing the team under the bus defensively
Lakers need to rest lbj there is no point to try win games roster is just too weak to compet
They just leave lebron on the injury report so that way if he does not want to play in a back to back they can sit him but they stand no chance tonight with out him.
If LeBron doesn’t play they can literally just stay at home and rest.
LBJ to play. It’s just a sore ankle. Do it in Miami!
Please dear God no more 5 guard line up
I don’t get it , one minute is rest bron and now a 38yr old on a back to back is resting it’s a problem
Lebron should’ve sat last game and played today against the Heat for the culture; being it’s his old team and all
If no Bron this won't even be worth seeing. If he plays then I think it's well worth watching.
LeBron James is not hurt at all they going to say is his ankle LeBron just taking a rest
if heat is an average team what the hell are the lakers then
Lebron has to play. We don’t have our own draft pick. We can’t tank gotta keep fighting.
Trade Lebum this off season , nigga only chooses when he wants to play
Pat Bev guarding Bam tonight
I can’t see anymore 3 or 4 guard lineups
Just hire GLeage players, they are willing to die there for the win. They don’t care a little sore as long as they play in nba.
Lebron doesn’t want to get embarrassed in Miami. “Day to day”
Lakers just hoping AD healthy is the problem.
Reaves, Russ and Bev will be starters today.
Unfortunately it doesn’t look like Pelinka is going to make a trade because he’s afraid that he will make another bad decision
Lebron should try his best while he still can. back to back games shouldn't be his limit. The only thing that won't get us bored without lebron is to WIN
If Miami don’t win this game it says a lot more about Miami
Trying to get to 500 it’s hard when Lebron won’t play back to backs
Every good team has the luxury of being able to load manage their stars. It's not fair to LeBron really
why doesn’t lebron grow his hair out ?
why doesn’t lebron grow his hair out ?
Better to get KAI SOTTO … He has skill sets lakers needs.
LBJ’s Minutes are down so, hopefully, He plays tonight. Ideally, 20-25min.
Even Dwayne Wade is reported back for Miami cause they playing the Lakers
Lakers are off till Friday. Lebron needs to play and the Lakers need to win. I get rest but what's the point of rest if you're missing the playoffs
Can we make it 2 in a row lakeshow
Tonight is the Kendrick Nunn home coming come back game! He goes for 13 and 4. If not here than in the multiverse o. Earth 43 😃
If there’s ever a better time to Nunn going… it would be this game. If Nunn can’t ball out against his former team, then he’s trash
AD the glass..
They still don't know who Thomas Bryant is huh? Just unreal sometimes. "He even made a 3". 🙄 Mr. Gunnels, TB also made 2 of them against each of the Kings, Suns, Hornets and Wizards. He is the tall, lanky dude, that looks slightly hunched over. Maybe you guys are still confusing him with Damian Jones even when Damian doesn't play? You might want to check his Washington numbers. He shot over 40% from deep for the season twice before he got injured and was projected to get about a 48M deal for 4 years. This isn't your normal run of the mill min vet.
This is so embarrassing….look at the team headlines is LeBron gonna play is AD injury updates whether to make a trade spin all the drama and excuses… trade everyone in the summer take the loss and finally REBUILD the team
Feel bad for Lebron, I wonder what Jerry Buss would do if he was still alive or what he would have done in the off-season or even now
No Lebron No win plane and simple
Dennis Schroder can stay they dont need him
Fun fact: For the season, The Lakers lead the Heat in most significantly team stat categories: Points Scored, Field Goal Percentage, Rebounds, Assists and Blocked Shots. Of course, without LeBron and AD those stats won't be the same. But if LeBron plays, I give us a good chance for a win, even if Butler and Bam play.
Now you want Lebron 😏
If Bam and Jimmy play for Miami, It's going to be pretty much impossible for the Lakers to win this game without A.D. AND LeBron.
🐶 💦
Ad is gonna come and go..your availability is your best ability I'm ready for him to go..he have soft bones
Hopefully LeBron can play. If JTA plays hopefully he tries to score kinda often and hopefully he shoots 3 pointers kinda often. Also I think players like JTA and Christie should try to get more steals when guarding a dribbler or guarding someone driving into the paint. I don't think it's a big deal if Christie or JTA get 4 or 5 fouls in a game. Hopefully AD can get back to his MVP self in mid January. I think if LeBron plays then Lakers can definitely win. Goo Lakers!
