The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

[UK Cowboy]

Everyone has to win with someone. You think Luka is going to will his way to multiple titles playing 1 on 5 pickup ISO ball and playing with no other superstar in their prime? Not every team in the playoff is going to be a depleted Mavs team missing their best player Kyrie Irving dude. And Heck they still barely got by the Mavs.

Why is he playing 1 on 5? His supporting cast is average at the most charitable lol. Do you see prime Kobe or DWade? Becasue Shaq(who i love) never won without one of the two. You see Prime Kobe or DWade on this team lol? Try apples to appples

He spent like 30 minutes icing his team out of the offense because he wanted to have the grudge game against Nico. . Now sure that might work against bottom dwellers but that won't work against multiple elite teams (Like the finals against the Celtics showed last year). It won't even work against teams a little below that like the Warriors

I'm not sure it was intentional though. He probably just kept having open looks, or the rest of the team wasn't open or something along those lines.

Icing his team out? That's not what happened. At all. Hater. Oh....and they won

Mavs season is a wash without Irving so wins over them really means nothing at this point. They have already packed the season in. The Rockets game tonight will be more interesting, cause they are at least playing for something

Nothing to play for? AD had the same damn thing to play for that Luka did....his team traded him in the middle of the night. Further, he was playinh against a team that has "no center", so he should have been motivated and with a mismatch. He might as well have stayed in bed. Meanwhile, Luka is going against this "championship defense"...he literally up everyone they threw at him. That was a big game for the Dallas players, they were at home, trying to make the play in...and it's the bunch Luka led to the damn Finals last year. Your Luka hate makes you look worse by the second dude

We shall see how this plays out tonight.

Lakers are facing the Rockets tonight. Should be a good game.

Bit of a trap game after the emotional win against the Mavs.

*Errr, um various sounds of hesitation*

The wife's 5 grandkids here with the wife's 2 great niece's and nephew.....pray for your guy y'all.....I gotta work in the AM and karaoke in the living room is on the horizon most likely.

Will be attempting some sleep in about an hour or so....

 

[Retroram52]

Just about ready to go.

Just about ready to go.

Yep! Looking forward to this game.

Only Lakers player out tonight is Max Kleber.

That's unusual. Usually half the team is on the injured list.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Hopefully the starters can rest the second half

This game is the battle for the 3-game season series. Right now it is tied a game a piece.

Nice change in Avatar selection, JDW!

The Rockets have been good this year. Do you think they have a chance in this one?

 

[Retroram52]

The Doncic miss leads to a Houston Rockets three pointer. Not a good start.
