  1. meengine

    D’angelo “The Last Eyyyy Bender” Russell. When the Lakers needed him most, he vanished.

  2. Vexing_Pie

    No Lebron. Basically no AD. Disappointing but at least the 6 seed pipe dream is over. We move.

  4. rick_32

    At this point why isnt AD already in some kind of protective gear for his eyes?

  6. nu1stunna

    It’s so fucking frustrating when the opponent keeps making the most bullshit shots possible. How many fucking shots did we see, especially from 3, where the ball bounced straight up 10 feet in the air and still managed to go in. I’m so sick of it.

  7. Tall_Succotash

    The minute AD went down, I knew the type of game this would be.

    Can’t blame anyone honestly, the guys fought like hell but they looked tired and just uncomfortable for long stretches.

  8. thelakeshow7

    This sucks. We fought hard. Fuck the refs. Fuck Kyle Anderson. Get well soon AD. We need the true DPOY healthy.

  10. Classic_Carlos

    Keep the faith dudes. Hurt squad coming off a back to back. We’re still looking deadly in the playoffs

  11. Wonderful-Form2522

    Undermanned due to injuries, it is really impossible to win against them, but since AD will go back against GSW and I hope LeBron too, lets win the last remaining games.

  12. beefmapstan

    Pretty good effort despite not having Bron & AD. Expected loss. On to the next

  13. Consistent_Owl4593

    I hate it here. Now that 6th seed is out of reach we have to take care of business or it’s done

  14. alextwc

    We win this if ad didn’t get hurt…our luck is so bad this year smh

  16. Capbo_

    they tried they best without AD 🤷 can’t expect to win against twolves size without AD or bron

  17. thatmonsteryeti

    Wish we would run plays. We can’t run the same basic pnr sets we do with bron and ad when they’re not playing.

  18. lakerconvert

    Not only were AD and Bron out, but our back court decided to shit the bed when it mattered most. The cherry on top was Darvin’s absolutely horrific lineups. Literally some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Too much stacked against us

  19. kronos9797

    Fuck these refs man, when they gonna start calling a foul when our guys get hit in the eyes like this. And instead all we hear about is the FT discrepancy favoring the Lakers, fuck them man!

  22. No_motivation5489

    Reddish was a -14 in 14 minutes of playtime but for some reason ham keeps playing him. Game after game the other team goes on runs when he’s in the game but ham keeps forcing reddish minutes. I don’t get it. He’s probably the worst player on the team but he keeps getting minutes.

  23. gfunkadunkalus

    Man, I love Rui. Had a quiet 30 point game. Also big love to Jaxon Hayes with those power dunks! It brought hella energy.

    I know AR and DLo had bad games, but it’s just one game. We’re still winning a lot of games even tough we lost to the #1 team today without our two best players.

    Still hopeful and optimistic.

  24. BocchiLover

    Thanks Lakers. Ruined by already bad day. I can’t anymore.

  25. andretheclutch

    T. Prince

    24:48 min

    6 points

    -22.

    And kept Rui on the bench in the first half.. And playing those terrorist lineups… Fucking Ham

  26. Zenith_24tee

    No Bron and AD lost by 10 against Twolves

    I think we could take them to 7 both teams fully healthy

  27. hgdeathstroke

    They only won because Kyle Anderson decided to contest a shot he had no business getting too and it wasn’t even called…

  28. GokutheAnteater

    Someone did voodoo bullshit against us and we need to find out which Celtics/warriors/suns/clippers/kings fan did it

  29. AzNmamba

    Props to Jaxson Hayes for a great game, he stepped up when we needed him

  30. ben_wade_

    Hanging on to the 8th seed is now the top priority.

  32. Conflict_NZ

    Shoutout to all the people in the threads earlier today shitting on the idea that Naz Reid would cook us. We have very specific problems with players like him, it was obvious this would happen.

  33. reefik73

    Can someone do the math on who needs to lose what for us to be 7/8

  34. AllAboutHarmony

    Might have been an L, but that Jaxson Hayes kid!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

    Maybe give AD a bit more rest and PnR with Jax for a bit. 🥳

  35. Electronic_Bit9495

    I mean you gotta obviously fire darvin ham right when he blatantly puts Rui Hachimura on Rudy gobert?

  37. Yommination

    Reddish shouldn’t play a single minute in the NBA. Maybe on one of the shitter teams like the Pistons, Wizards or Hornets

  38. White-Gravity

    Honestly I might be happy with the 8 seed at the very least. I trust our guys to win

  39. Letsgodubs

    How did Reddish do tonight? I’ll admit I couldn’t watch the whole game and skipped most of the bench minutes. Was he as bad as his -20 suggests he was?

  41. 144Todd442

    Idk I just have a hard time believing a hit like that takes AD out of the game entirely. The one against the warriors in the playoffs was understandable but the last 2 times felt like he and the team were being way too cautious

  42. acid_placebo

    Back to back without our two best players pretty hard to beat the wolves. Still on a good run and gotta take care of business against the Larriors Tuesday with lebron and Andy back hopefully

  43. FrankVogelHaterNo1

    From on top of the world and 6th seed hopes to AD and Bron both with injury/health issues and back in 9th seed in a single day.

    The Los Angeles Lakers, where you can’t have nice shit for longer than 24 hours.

  44. SavonReddit

    It’s interesting how much better post game threads are compared to game threads lol. People in those game threads are unbearable.

  45. AdvancedElephant

    Our guys fought hard. Let them learn and make the mistakes now, so come play in time, we can be unstoppable

  46. bee-eazy13

    If AD doesn’t wear eye protection from now on I’m gonna be pissed. Like how many times does this have to happen before you do something about it?

  47. Illustrious-Fig6819

    I’m not even tripping off of this loss. The guys fought hard, especially after a back to back this was probably the best we could expect. Tough night for DLo and Reaves but Minnesota’s defense is no joke. And McDaniel’s apply so much pressure at POA and drive you directly into Gobert so everything is just uncomfortable. You really need to have size to match Minnesota’s physicality which is why Rui dominated and AD/Bron usually play well against them.

    Despite the loss, I’m confident this team is on a good path and will be just fine no matter what seed they land in.

  48. fundsoverfun

    I didn’t catch the game just checked the box score? AD all right?

  49. AdOutside6690

    Why was max only in for 5 minutes while AR was looking dead tired? Stacked on guards and bro runs his primary players to the ground..

  50. ProCommentBtw

    AD saw who was on the floor with him and said nah I’m out lmaoo
    we had guys out but Ham still doing Ham
