"God gave me wide shoulders for a reason" - LeBron James

Jerami Grant - who the Lakers were apparently supposed to trade 2 1sts for - is shooting 2-24 vs the Lakers this season

"God gave me wide shoulders for a reason" - LeBron James

Oh no get well Wemby

Luka by Shot Type as a Laker so far: Catch & Shoot…..2-12 Stepback..………….2-9 Layup..……………….8-8 Floater/Runner…….1-6 Fadeaway…………..2-5 Pullup…………………0-2 Faceup Jumper…...1-2 8-36 (22.2%) on non-layups 😬

I just rewatched all of their 3's tonight and 26 of them came on plays where the ball didn't cross the 3PT line during the possession Lakers 3's should come off of penetration, these are mostly bad shots

The Lakers set a season-high in 3-point attempts for the second straight game, taking 51 after taking 50 in their loss to Utah. Tons of them without the ball crossing the 3PT line at all at any point during the possession

Luka's first 3 games w/the Lakers are the first time he's scored under 20 in 3 straight games since his rookie season

New pod. Lakers return from the break well positioned to make a playoff run. The guys discuss the state of the team, the upcoming challenging schedule over the next month, how the team can manage this stretch with their depth & health concerns, & much more. 🎧: https://linktr.ee/LFRPOD

Might actually be more. According to reddit only about 33min of gametime was played tonight...

These fools have spent almost as much screen time congratulating themselves tonight as there was actual basketball played

Jokic is such a troll lmao

STEPH HOLY SHIT

Someone's gonna get hurt with these long ass breaks between the basketball, this is completely unlike any basketball gameday these players play in. Gotta completely rethink these long breaks this is a terrible idea

Were the only positive things Kevin Hart had to say all night this homage to these turkeys?

Definitely agree w/Candace that there was wayyyy too much time in between games for the team that won the first game though

I would love a League Pass option where the players/coaches are mic'd up and all you hear is the on-court audio with no announcers. I'd absolutely pay for that.

Love this format! Not exactly playoff intensity but noticeably more competitive than the average all-star game

"Kevin Durant well defended there by Dalton Knecht" - sentences you knew would be uttered at the 2025 All Star Game

LET'S GO DALTON

I like this format change. Only tweak I'd like to see is the games going to 50 instead of 40

This shit is torture

Would Kevin Hart please shut the fuck up

Lakers had a disappointing loss to the Jazz heading into the break. The guys discuss how being without DFS & Gabe Vincent impacted their defense, Len's tough first game, the poor general effort level & continue their discussion of Luka's game. 🎧: https://linktr.ee/LFRPOD

"Your honor, I direct your attention to exhibit 3, the Feb. 12 Lakers vs. Utah Jazz game log. You will note that Dalton Knecht played seven minutes in the first half and went 1-3 from the field. How could he have done that if he was a member of the Hornets? It just does not make sense."

How do we rescind the Alex Len signing?

Luka has been upgraded to PROBABLE for tonight's game

Here's my breakdown of Luka's first game with the Lakers, I still can't believe it! youtu.be/lsiBGaL9Jso

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

If the Lakers had the same roster as the Suns preseason they would have said we were the 11th seed, with bad contracts, no flexibility, and no chance at a championship.

The preseason view of the Lakers compared to the preseason view of these wack ass Suns was something else

New pod. Luka made his Lakers debut in a blowout win over the Jazz. The guys discuss the uniqueness of Luka's style & shot creation skills, his defense & rebounding, & zoom out to discuss the Lakers being the hottest team in the league over the last 10 games. 🎧: https://linktr.ee/LFRPOD

Hubie Brown teaching the value of the behind-the-back pass at the 5-Star Basketball Camp about 50 years ago, in an era where a lot of people frowned upon that type of pass as "showboating" youtu.be/RN8vvtQ4ir8?...

To put the team's offensive ceiling in perspective, tonight was tied for the lowest-scoring game Luka has had in the last 4 seasons, other than a couple where he got hurt & left a game early. The team's offense when he has it going should be unbelievable

New pod. Lakers got a huge win over the Pacers with a monster Austin Reaves performance & rescinded their trade for Mark Williams, reportedly after medical concerns. The guys react to this, dive into Austin's big night & discuss Luka's likely Lakers debut. 🎧: https://linktr.ee/LFRPOD

DFS is an excellent pick & pop threat on top-of-the-key 3-pointers, which provides a new wrinkle to their Double Drag screens, Horns sets, and more. Those are somewhat awkward shots from a footwork perspective cuz you're often backpedaling before your shot, but he's unusually good at that.

Luka donating a half mill to wildfire relief days after landing in Los Angeles is pretty damn cool

from the Lakers: "Dalton Knecht (personal) has been upgraded to PROBABLE for tonight’s game vs. Utah."

How do we feel about Edy Tavares, @canyondriver.bsky.social? youtu.be/n6xe54oQ8O8?...

The quality of shots that everyone gets is about to go up, but the Lakers who are excellent finishers but aren't great creators for themselves - Rui, Jaxson, & Dalton especially - are about to get some amazing looks that they usually cash in on youtu.be/eJBAUqHLxsE?...

Great video of Luka at 14 years old. What a prodigy youtu.be/mIHUirZkjhI?...

So, now Dallas wants in on the 50 point triple doubles from Luka.

Well DFS, looks like you're closing games at 5.

Charlotte tried to sell us damaged goods! Call a lawyer!

Better Lakers tenure....CP3 or Mark Williams?

Feels destined! Concerned about the 5 spot but definitely excited for the basketball gods to land Dalton in our laps for the 2nd time in the last 8 months!

This is a good point. If it's medical, they would be vague in ways that "unsatisfied conditions of the trade" kind of language points toward Certainly frames the Hornets calling the Lakers up & being like "hey, so you wanna Center?" out of nowhere in a different light 👀

Small ball it is! 🫠

Oh fucking hell this novela
