AD and Prince the only 2 who have been consistent for us since the IST
I hate Darvin Ham.
Stans out here acting like he can’t have a bad game. Crazy. Easily calling out role players for playing bad yet can’t put their hands against their dad.
I just dont get it… they just have to work harder. have to shoot better. have to play better. Get their energy up …
if they are taking the ball that way but tricking just take the ball this way and trick them back.
Their bodies have to reflex the dunks and the dunks have to reflex their bodies.. it’s not that hard bro
I hate Jaxson Hayes.
LeBron was terrible tonight! Late on defense all night, sloppy on offense, turnovers left and right, missing closeouts, missing easy points. Some of his decisions were so baffling, he killed that little momentum we managed to create by AD’s monster performance. This game definitely on him. (and Darvin Ham of course, he’s always doo-doo)
This sub needs to stop acting like Rui is untouchable in trade talks
Bron was trash in the 4th, hope he’s better in the next game
We were on a roll in the 3rd quarter then Rui decided to brick back to back to back wide open 3s. Everything went downhill from there!
Sucks to lose this kind of game but Boston was just better!
Avoiding Ham for Christmas dinner tonight
This team is clearly talented enough to play with anyone and has as good a 1-2 punch as anyone in the league…
They never press their advantages, rarely capiltalize on mismatches, are NEVER ready to play (started tonight in a -12 for fuck’s sake)… run a garbage offense, a defense that just relies on individual brilliance.
every day darvin ham-ass remains coach is a bigger failure by the FO… they are absolutely failing this roster and especially Bron and AD…
Fuck the Celtics
Lakers will not get better with Ham
Starting lineup goes down 18 with NO spacing, we claw back down 1 once we get spacing in there.
Ham : LETS TRY THAT SHIT AGAIN
Ham gave us coal for Christmas
The offense cannot just be bron/ad post ups and bailout shots from ar. Gonna kill us in the long run
I hate the Celtics a lot but I hate Ham more
Mezulla (Celtics coach) adjusted in the second half and created openings for Porzingis which got him going. On the other hand no adjustments on Lebron getting doubled the whole game.
Brief History of Rob Pelinka cooking with the Lakers:
– Let Brook Lopez walk for free
– 2019 meme team Lakers
– Traded Zubac for washed up Mike Muscala
– Gave up all the Lakers’ assets with all the leverage in the AD trade
– Got hoodwinked by Kawhi and used a max salary slot to sign Danny Green
– Blew up the 2020 title team that he fell ass backwards into
– Promised Andre Drummond a starting spot after the Lakers already had the best starting lineup in the league
– Burnt a first on Schroder and tried to pay him like 20 mil
– Wasted MLE on Montrezl Harrel
– Traded all his 3&D players for non-shooting guards
– **Committed the worst trade in NBA history**
– Let 1st team defender elite role player Alex Caruso walk so he could pay fat ass dumb ass project player THT
– Assembled one of the worst rosters in history period in the 2022 team (literally like 2/3rds of the roster was out of the league the next season)
– Made the team endure Westbrick for 2 years leading to stress injuries to LeBron and AD
– Wasted MLE on Kendrick Nunn
– Every player he got back in the Westbrick trade was mid
– Fired Vogel because he refused to babysit a player everybody knew wouldn’t be on the roster long term, hired Bumpy the Clown to take his place
– Wasted MLE on Gabe Vincent
– Failed to assemble a competent 3 point shooting roster in 6 seasons with LeBron James
– Drafted Junior High School in the 1st round instead of trading for a rotation player
Wasted a AD masterclass
I hate that Christian Wood doesn’t get backup C minutes. I hate that this sub seems to think that the idea of CWood being a center is insane. I hate Jaxson Hayes.
Bro can we just get on a fucking win streak lol. Why do we have to be .500 all season for like the last 3 years lol.
At least the Raiders won on Christmas.
People want Bron to cry because we lost the game lol. Fuck the Celtics. Enjoy your holidays people 👍
LeBron Rui stinker 😔
Bron played like booty, and already checked out of this game when he made that comment on the eve of Christmas.
Wtf was that lineup towards the end of the 3rd I think it was or maybe early 4th were the Celtics made their run? Ham needs to go man
Lethargic start
Atrocious Interior D
Lazy rebounding
Blown easy layups
No one wanted this game aside from Anthony Davis.
Merry fucking Christmas
The bottom line of this game is Bron played horrible on both ends which cost us the game, plain and simple.
Even after a bad start we took the lead back, then Bron made some questionable plays and Boston went on a run.
AD is playing on MVP level, this team has a lot to offer, some tweaks only.
On paper it’s really hard to compare to the Celtics when they have elite 2 way players and every position in their starting lineup, while Lakers basically have AD and Bron is like 1.5 way and every other player either can only play 1 of defense or offense except Prince
There was like a portion where they showed Ham and Mazulla mic’d up, and boy oh boy you can definitely see(and hear) the difference. Joe was definitely coaching, giving clear instructions on what the Celtics should do. While Pockets on the other hand, spewing whatever and just asking for the team to bring more energy. LOL.
