#SELL THE TEAM!
Thank you fans
I really hope that Darvin threw out that 5-guard lineup to prove a point to the front office. Every team has abused this team’s missing size in the front court and it will not change without a change.
Merry Christmas everyone. Don’t let this game bother you.
I hope Rob and Jeanie both had their Christmases ruined today
Pelinka ruined Christmas

We won 3 out of 4 quarters. Shot more free throws. And lost.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
3rd quarter Lakers everybody
if u dont count the 3rd quarter then we won this game. merry christmas!
Can you believe we were out there with a 5 guard lineup at some point? Gave up no more than 43 points in the first half. Just to give up 51 in the 3rd quarter.
James with 38 points, no other Laker with even 20. They had 2 guys with at least 30 and one with 26.
There’s a lot going wrong here. Sick of this
I WANT ROB PELINKA ARRESTED IMMEDIATELY
I find it hilarious how folks are like Luka doesnt have enough help!!!! Literally has 4 shooters beside him every time he’s on the court. I would kill to have any of them
13-20. What a wow
I’m sorry but the Lakers suck
Russ really had -30? Oh my God…
51 points in the 3rd fucking quarter. What in the actual fuck bro.
This single digit loss is going to convince the front office that this roster is fine.
“5-guard lineup” hOw dA fuCk wE CanT gEt BoArdS
Lebron is back to scoring like a beast like last year, but the team still sucks around him.
If Pelinka isn’t going to do anything, just make it be known that they’re tanking and just pull Lebron after he breaks the record.
13-20 lmao. This is it. The hope is officially gone.
5 GUARD LINEUP
5 GUARD LINEUP
It’s crazy how the strategy of giving up open 3s every possession and hoping the players miss didn’t work! Insane!
Why don’t the la locals protest or some shit against Jeanie lmao. It’s clear she gives no fucks about the franchise and letting us rot. Just force her into selling up. Pathetic
![gif](giphy|GIvajz0TlE316)
Do we even get assets back if LeBron asks out this summer? I’m assuming he picks where he goes.
Can we petition the league to remove 3rd quarters?
We have no 3pt defense. Never had, we just hope and pray teams miss, absolutely disgusting.
Darvin Ham has no clue how to coach. No offense or defense schemes. He has no clue what lineups work after 30 games. Has no clue what his players are good at to put them in the right position. I am convinced Beverley and Schroder have some blackmail over him.
Lakers playing a junk trap on Luka without helping out on shooters was a huge gamble that paid off in the first half when we caught them off guard. Continuing with that game plan in the second half when the Mavs have time to adjust is brain dead.
Im just happy I didn’t buy nba pass, and my country doesn’t really stream that much lakers game
GG 😂
Picked a hell of a day to quit sniffing glue
At least Frank could get players to play defense. Even our best defenders are playing like ass the past 10 games. Horrid 3pt defense/switching/boxing out
I’ll never forgive rob for dismantling a dominant championship team for no reason
Lakers have no wing defender. Like none. Lebron is too old to guard the Luka’s of the world. Mavs just posted up Pat Bev every fucking play and waited for the defense to double/collapse and out scored them by 30. Literally all Luka post ups.
This roster just isn’t built to compete.
Lakers shot 9/28 (32.1%) from 3 while the Mavs had 2x as many.
Season in the gutter y’all
The West was wide open and the front office said fuck you pay me
investigate the obsession with guards. this ain’t specifically towards ham (who’s not good) but just the overall team building philosophy
Merry Christmas everyone!!!

We were 16-17 through 33games last year. We’re 13-20 through the same 33 games with younger players. Our FO has to go
Seasons over, time to move on to 23-24 season. Delusional people still out there that think we should trade 2 1st round picks for this g league roster that would be lucky to even make the play in tourney. Save the picks unless we have a legit shot at the championship which is def not this season.
