It was peaceful for that one week I wasn't bombarded with the "Dodgers are ruining baseball" posts. Now I'm getting spammed with the "Lakers are ruining basketball" now lmao.

I was wondering why dude looks like his parents are siblings. Then I saw the LDS/Utah in his Twitter bio.
Lakers are unbearable to watch. Luka and Reaves flopping, foul-baiting, and complaining nonstop. Wouldn’t one get sick of playing with them and having to support them?

One thing I'm left flabbergasted by from the Lakers/Jazz game. Does Will Hardy hate calling timeouts? Felt like he just sat there on the bench in some silent protest. Felt like I was watching Darvin Pockets out there again letting the other team go on a run uncontested lmao.

My 'Magic' analysis: The Lakers were as good in the 2nd quarter as they were bad in the 1st!

"I don't care about Dodger fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" declares guy who claims he doesn't care about Dodger fans
Hey Dodgers fans. I don't fucking care that you're not watching the World Series. Go cry somewhere else. I'm going to enjoy the Series.

When you're a Laker fan but also have Yaxel on all your fantasy teams

Yes. Because Looney is at most a 4th big who should be playing the Udonis Haslem / DeAndre Jordan role, not playing actual rotation minutes on a team looking to be a top 3 team in the conference.
There are 30 backup centers on 30 NBA teams Is Kevon Looney the worst one?

That said, the TOs are a killer. Teams are gonna continue to sell out to blitz AR + Luka. The other Lakers need to get better about flashing open to jump start the 4v3 advantage. AR/Luka also need to stop forcing passes. Honestly, LA may need to close games w/ Sexton out there.
Lakers are 2-0! Wasn't the cleanest night on offense, but Luka/AR got enough of theirs and generated lots of good looks at the rim and beyond the arc. Matisse was great on the C&S tonight. Kessler lived at the rim on both ends. As a playfinisher on O, and big time blocker on D.

Luka's TOs (and shot volume/misses) were quite rough tonight. But I thought Austin continues to look a little rough as the lead guy/playmaker when Luka is on the bench. Expect he'll get better with reps though. That said maybe better to pair him and Sexton together more often.

Yaxel actually defended Luka pretty well. But Luka also got in his head and baited him into some silly fouls and the tech. Regardless, I fully expect Luka to drop a 50 on him the next time they play.
Yaxel Lendeborg said he “lost all respect” for Luka Doncic after facing him tonight because he said Doncic was “complaining the entire game.” On his interaction with Doncic: “I told him he sucks. He can’t score on me.” Full soundbite

If you couldn't see how Walker Kessler would thrive next to a superstar P&R playmaker in Luka Doncic, you're either being a genuine dumbass or a cynic/contrarian. Either way, you shouldn't be covering basketball for a living. Jfc.

I think tonight was more "Warriors are ass" than "Lakers are contenders!!11!" but there is plenty to like about tonight even without Sexton, Carr, and Thiero. The defensive effort and weapons are there. Kessler is an anchor on both ends. And the offensive depth is very real.

Alright JJ. That's what happens when you don't empty the bench right away in a blowout. Guys can get hurt.

You're seeing flashes of what the Lakers defense could be. Steph gets the ball in the corner, then Williams bodies him up. Kessler comes over for the extra pressure / trap. Steph makes a poor crosscourt pass under duress, which leads right into a transition opportunity for LA.

It feels like the Dodgers and Lakers have the same PR people for announcing injuries/surgeries
I would be happier about this if I believed it's final at all, lol.

Kessler has been great at cleaning up in transition as the trailer

Been happy with Grimes' smoothness and burst attacking the rim.

This Austin-only group has competitive fire and motor on the defensive end, but they were an offensive dumpster fire for the most part lmao
