  1. Per synergy, the Lakers shot 24/25 at the rim today lmao

  2. EatDeeply

    Y’all do not want to play this lakers team as a 6-8 seed.

    Someone’s feelings about to get hurt among the young upstart western teams

    OKC should be actively ducking. Wolves should be ducking.

  3. Just-Efficiency3129

    Cavs have a lot of uncomfortable questions they need answered very soon

  4. MrAppleSpoink

    The LeBron AD wall in front of Austin while he walked the dog made my day

  5. NotManyBuses

    Lakers are scary man. I was wrong about them. This team is built for a playoff run

  6. lebryjamy

    39 year old in his 21st season still flying all around the court, throwin down oops and doing chasedown blocks. 67 games into the season. LeGreatest.

  7. White-Gravity

    I used to dream of the days when we could get out of the 9 seed, we made it🥹

  8. Low_Beyond8134

    DMitch was out there doing straight cardio

  9. myhellcatgotRepod

    The Lakers running the gauntlet to escape the play-in after being the 9 seed since the Trump administration would be crazy

    Also the East is so ass that it’s gonna be a bad look for the Celtics if they lose more than a single game against the conference.

  10. ihateeuge

    Best thing about the game to me was even after completely blowing the lead they were able to fight and build it back up again with a nice run. they are really firing on all cylinders right now

  11. kayvonrez

    u/LALostCajun hey remember when you told me not to gas up the 9th seed Lakers? Might wanna look at those standings again😘

  12. itsnotyellowfever

    The non-Celtics East is starting to get real depressing to watch

  13. aroach1995

    Cavs were down by 16

    Then up by 4

    Then they start falling behind again and end up not scoring for the last 3:27.

    Is this a coaching problem? The talent is clearly there if they can come back from these terrible deficits… but to just give it away again and end up in the same scenario after the comeback is sad…

  14. The number of games you have to win to move up 1 placing has been insane. The west is brutal.

  15. whitefang0824

    So this is why OKC is trying so hard to end up 3rd lately lol

  16. Ilikesporks_

    the way cavs fans were crying in the match thread you’d think we had 30 free throws and had 2 personal fouls when in reality we had only 4 more free throws and 1 more personal foul than the cavs

  17. Street-Common-4023

    Guys this could get very interesting this upcoming week

    Suns face pelicans clippers clippers kings wolves to end of the season

    Pelicans face suns blazers kings warriors lakers

    Lakers face after todays win : wolves warriors grizzles pelicans ( they can go 4-0 rest of the way. Wolves and warriors game are important cannot drop both 🙂

    Kings face nets thunder pelicans suns blazers

    Warriors face Utah lakers blazers pelicans jazz

    Also what a performance from the lakers clicking at the right moment. Now the 8th seed. This can get very fun and interesting.

    Now if lakers beat wolves and nuggets continue winning then it makes it even more interesting out west

  18. Lakers are so dangerous good luck to whoever is in our way (except the nuggets)

  19. iamnotabot9

    I can’t be the only lakers fan nervous for playoff DLO. But for now he’s been incredible this season

  20. Free_Relationship692

    looking like last yr, 18-6 run with the 2nd best record before ending at 7th seed straight to wcf.

  21. the Bucks have done nearly everything in their power to blow the #2 seed and yet absolutely no one else in the East has made them pay for it lol

  22. We’ve won 9 of our last 10

    A closer look at it, 9 of those games were against the East 😂😂😂

    We’d win 55+ games in that conference
