The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

[DJ Fieri]

7 straight wins and I think 16-3 in our last 19.

8-2 with Luka.

 

[DJ Fieri]

James and Doncic combined for 60-plus points and Hayes had 19 points and 10 rebounds.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Holy Cow, Hayes has 19 points. We don't need no stinking Center.

Against the Pelicans.....he isn't doing that vs a team with a really good C.

Hayes had 19 points and 10 rebounds.

Almost all in the 1st half. Not much of a factor after (and got into foul trouble).

Len in the game for garbage time. Appropriate, as he is garbage. He doesn't deserve a roster spot.

There are reports that the Lakers want to move Goodwin to a standard contract and to do that, a roster spot has to be created. The two likelies to go are Reddish and Len. Probably Reddish first, is my guess.

I think something many people didn't consider when all the horsecrap about Luka started floating around was how much(much like LBJ) he elevates players that he plays with. They talk about Dallas having good 5's in Gafford and Lively, and I like both kids. But pretty much all they had to do was catch lobs and dunk them. I heard all about how terrible Jaxson Hayes was and how the Lakers couldn't win with him at the 5. How many times before Luka got here has he gone 8-8 for 19/10? It was ALWAYS going to work

Hayes has show flashes before but never been able to maintain it.

Yeah he did. But it's a lot easier to be consistent when youre going against air lol

Len. Reddish can defend at times even though he isn't in the rotation right now.

Jamison can backup Hayes.

He going to be a FA and prolly getting a small raise off his current contract. But, he is really a solid backup for 15-20mpg. Not a true starting C on a good team. He is all we have right now.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Luka and James are the first Lakers duo to each have 30 points and 5 treys in the same game.

Wow.
