The vibes are good. Love this from Khobi Price.

Adou gets into his first game and he gets switched onto Giannis. Welcome to the league! First minute reaction - he’s good!

We are entering a golden age of basket all.

I really like Rui. Also, if Rui hunted rebounds he’d make 35-40M a year.

My general social media strategy is that k block anyone that follows me if I even vaguely wonder if they’re a bot. Just constant , aggressive AI blocking. Even a human that uses ai to post - blocking fast.

This probably works at any time in recent history but - what is going on in the Eastern Conference?

I’m looking at this line-up during the Laker game and I’m thinking

Impressive Lakers win with a lot of heroes. Full deep-dive here👇 digginbasketball.substack.com/p/lakers-obs...

Stupid Thoughts on Game 2 - Luka might average 40 pts this year. Hopefully the Lakers don’t need him to. Good to see the offense working against a young, athletic team. Gabe is to JJ and Taurean Prince was to Darvin.

Stupid Thoughts on Game 1 - it shouldn’t be so hard to get Rui 18 pts.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

Saw a bad parenting opinion by someone who doesn’t have kids I might not even care if a parent has an opinion but if you’re not out here in the drop off line trenches I definitely don’t give a fuck

Luka is dominating this game. He is perfect from the free throw line and inside the arc. He has 19 points and is a +20 so far.

I think my favorite part of Bluesky is not seeing ads. Then I started seeing ads. Now I’m blocking vigorously. I don’t want your product and I don’t want to friend your bot.

Buddy that is incredible

Luka was good, but it wasn't enough for Slovenia to beat Germany. www.silverscreenandroll.com/lakers-score...

psa: the lakers have a top 3 player in the league who looks like he’s in the best condition of his life & another superstar coming off a 2nd team all-nba season where he was 6th in mvp voting. maybe, just maybe, they’ll be a very good team!

The Lakers signed Luka????

New pod: Redick's New Options With a more balanced roster, what should the Lakers expect from Redick? The guys discuss why we'll learn more about his schematic tendencies, how his decisions impact the rotation, speculate on lineups & MORE. 🎧: linktr.ee/LFRPOD

I think A.I. could actually benefit humanity. For instance, imagine a little puppy shaped robot that sits on everybody's shoulder and said, "Yo, dog, you dont need to post that" whenever they tried to post anything anywhere

Basketball is so great.

New pod: Starting 2, Backup 1 Who are the defensive trade targets the Lakers should seek? Without trading Rui? The guys discuss how the Lakers can upgrade their defense, especially in the backcourt, while keeping their salary cap sheet pretty clean. 🎧: linktr.ee/LFRPOD

Lakers projected cap sheet after re-signing Jaxson Hayes, if they waive Shake Milton, and sign Adou Thiero to a rookie minimum salary. They'd have enough room below the first apron hard cap to use their entire $5.1 million bi-annual exception, like on De'Anthony Melton.

someone add the nfl primetime music to this video please

Buying a pick doesn't seem to be an option, but if the Lakers were to trade into the second round: Theiro Fleming Raynaud Kalkbrenner Small

👀 The Lakers have selected Adou Thiero with the 36th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft after trading up to acquire it from the Timberwolves. The 21-year-old Arkansas wing averaged 15.1 points (54.5 FG%), 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game last season. Welcome to the #LakeShow!

I would simply foil the Pacers by letting them have the lead the whole game

The Bucks, Cavs and Knicks, to the Thunder:

Coca-Cola calls for aid! 😄

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

New pod: Joe Barely Cares To find the Lakers a starting 5, Darius lobbies Pete on trading for a 5 with tools & production but with a questionable motor, & they debate more high-salaried trade targets who could help the team, but also have downsides. 🎧: linktr.ee/LFRPOD

this is just a bus

All 82. Thanks to everyone who followed along all season. I appreciate all the support so much 💜💛 Prints will be up in the shop for presale later this afternoon

The Luka-AD trade has turned into the video from THE RING to anybody around either team when it happened. I'm worried for my own safety at this point from just knowing about it

I could probably make a starship too if all it had to do was blow up.

Some wild on/offs so far. Here’s the TS% of a few players with Luka on the floor compared to off: LeBron: 66.1% / 60.6% Reaves: 68.4% / 59.6% Hachimura: 64.4% / 60.7% Vanderbilt: 65.4% / 50% Hayes: 84.8% / 70.4% Milton: 83.3% / 58.3%

Before the season, if you would have told me that on March 4, the #Pistons (35-27) would have a better record than the Heat, Magic, Warriors, Kings, T'Wolves, Mavs and Suns ...

regular season games played by 2 way players on the lakers, from alex caruso to jordan goodwin for games ending on 2.28.25

The Lakers beat the Mavs 107-99. Luka Dončić earned a triple-double against his former team with 19 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists. LeBron James had 27 points and 12 rebounds and Austin Reaves finished with 20 points. L.A. has now won three straight.

Kareem is forever the greatest.

Luka by himself is so much better than the entirety of this Mavericks team. What the fuck were they thinking?
