Western Knecht hits another shot as the Lakers go up by 9. Just put Kokolo in and play him at Center the rest of the way.

Not only does the Lakers need a Center that is big and can play physically, they need one that doesn't get injured every frikin five games or so.

Can't trust AD to make to the playoffs or be healthy for them at this point.. Him and Embiid are just porcelain dolls that need "load management". Why can't they get in shape and rock hard? They got money for the best medical/training in the world. A middle class dude with a full time job with no access to any of that are more durable than those two

Lakers need to put a body on Steph Curry and quit allowing him to roam free to shoot the big three.

Precisely because the league has abandoned the integrity of the game in favor of kissing the backsides of so-called superstars who then get to run teams as players.

Embiid and AD are not mentally tough like players of old. They just play until they get tired of the season then they get hurt and can take an acceptable vacation when they "need it".

It is one of the many reasons the ratings and viewership are down especially among the younger viewers.

I thought the Lakers were developing better defense that so-called allowed them to beat the Queens twice-in-a-row?

Did anybody put a body on Curry or did they just let him tie the game?? Standin' around watching Curry shoot threes and now the game is tied.

I think there was like 8 three pointers in that stretch there? (Like the Boston/Philly game) Then they wonder why ratings are in the dumpster. Move the ball and take it to the hoop once in a while

Once again, the NBA has abandoned the integrity of the game and now it is just a clown show highlighting so-called "superstars".

Haven't watched much of the Warriors this year, but I'm surprised their record is this good. Seems like an undersized team with a bunch of G-league tomato can talent.
