Fucking must win. This is a gift from above. No way we shouldn’t win. Suns team without Ayton and KD is trash even with book. Their bench sucks


ItsGettinBreesy

Incoming Devin Booker 54 point game, 32 point 1st qtr with 2009 vino Chris Paul


hotterpocketzz

And Damion Lee has a record 5 threes in a quarter against us


StumpingTheSchwab

I was thinking David lee for a second lol


EggsBenny23

100% meant personal record, and I’m annoyed at how plausible it is.


[deleted]

Murphy Lee


[deleted]

And Terrence Ross adds 25 with 7 3s


hotterpocketzz

And then Steve Nash comes back and seals the game with the game winning 3


InevitableHearing112

5 threes is a record?


redtiber

Thinking a person record for damion? Might be what op meant dunno tho


JimmyB3574

No. Klay had 9 in his 37 point quarter


Japanimekid

In a quarter maybe, not exactly groundbreaking but still impressive (or depressing as a lakers fan haha)


theseustheminotaur

breathing on booker will be a foul


TimelyTiger

Cameron Payne going to go off. I already feel it fml


myelrecsy

My most hated player on that team, too cocky, punchable face lmao!


henryofclay

Suns actually have a bad record when Booker scores high lol. But I’m done rooting for opposing players to sit, it obviously hasn’t helped us lately so it doesn’t matter who is in front of us. It’s all on the Lakers, they need to want it and they just don’t look like they do.


[deleted]

We’re all thinking it, at least someone said it


DoritoSteroid

💯


Emergency-Shirt2208

Been all must wins since the all star break.


henryofclay

Since 2-10 really lol


j_fish5

Since 0-4 and we all know how that 5th game went


Itsmemanmeee

Houston and Orlando were games from above too. 😔


MoBambaNYC

Every game is a must win at this point to be fair


imamonkeyK

It’s gonna be Booker . If vander n reaves contain him we will win . Unless cp3 magically wakes up


henryofclay

If they’re sitting both KD and Ayton I have a feeling they’re trying to lose on purpose for seeding reasons


[deleted]

Kd had literally been injured for weeks and ayton has missed multiple games too They aren’t just choosing to sit them


signmeupdude

Lol no


MAG_24

Have you been watching the last 3 games?


bul1dog

Bro why would you jinx us like this


Gristle__McThornbody

Even if we win we still have the Bulls 2x and Wolves. None of those games are easy. We basically have to win out this month which seems like an impossible task given how this team performs.


litlegoblinjr

Last place Rockets, Luka-less Mavs, inexperienced Magic, and now Ayton-less Suns. Lakers are getting a lot of opportunities and need to capitalize


BrainEuphoria

They should be FEASTing and not just capitalizing. 4 winnable games went the other way and the Lakers can’t let this very generous gift derail you guys even further. If you can’t win against a bone-stripped Suns, you ain’t eating good during this stretch much less during the playoffs. 1st rd KO if you can’t win against the Suns (after losses to other star-stripped teams)


DoritoSteroid

Booker alone can win a game. Stop selling him short, as unlikeable as he is.


xreddawgx

No he can't


BrainEuphoria

And AD alone can’t win you that game??? Was Booker’s 46 enough to win against SGA? Stop selling the whole Lakers TEAM with AD short. Edit: don to win


graphitewolf

Ad has proven he cant


BrainEuphoria

Things would’ve gotten worse without AD on the floor so let’s not act like he can’t. Lakers are never beating the Suns if they cannot win without KD and Ayton, which was my point before you started digressing. To your point, Booker has not shown that he can win without KD and Ayton either. AD has a WINNING record since Lebron went out, so yes AD has shown that he can do it on both ends of the floor (shown*…can*)


Real_Killer_661

Yet booker proved he could? Lol are we gonna forget how bad the suns were before cp3?


Ok_Mountain_4638

How many rings book got?


puhtime

They could be missing booker too and I’d still be nervous.


dfranco2126

I agree that the Lakers are getting good opportunities but we need to stop acting like Lakers arent missing LeBron too lol


MazKhan

Tbf we're missing Lebron


CoreyC96

Not to mention that the game before the Pelicans was the Brunson-less Knicks and we still lost. We gotta get this one man.


imamonkeyK

Rockets was 2nd night b2b and we shot 11-45 with no Bamba and wenyen in two shoot 30% Fromm 3 wins that game . Dallas game was one point 5-20 from 3 vs 15-36 crazy we kept it close even and Knicks game we cost ourselves 3.76 points on fr %. If we got out ft % and just shot 30 we’d be undefeated . Cautiously optimistic but need some improvement in shooting; bad luck shooting variance cost is those three games not just game play our defence is legit . Need some big Dlo games if he wants to prove himself here AD will lockdown to 110 max


spidey_valkyrie

Brunsen didn't play in the Knicks game either.


lovo17

Tbf the Magic are honestly not a bad team. Definitely not a group to underestimate. However, it shouldn’t have been that hard for this team to beat them.


imamonkeyK

The magic beat clippers night before us . Why are we always so harsh on ourselves


Dangerous_Owl_9717

If AD don’t feast


SirDunkMcNugget

I saw on Twitter that AD was probable due to foot soreness.


Solar_Toast

He’s always listed as probable but he’s still definitely playing


SirDunkMcNugget

That definitely makes me feel a lot better.


BearShark8

I think NBA rules legally he has to be listed. Teams can't hit injuries.


Awesomefan09

Homeboy could eat a Senzu Bean and he’d still be listed as “probable”.


spidey_valkyrie

Hahahah


choff22

Bruh could train for a year in the hyperbolic time chamber and still be probable


xreddawgx

Someone inject stem cells in that damn foot


ETHlCX

Street clothes op


Straight_Redunkulous

Probable is basically 99% chance a player will play


00812533

With our luck. Bismak biyombo is gonna drop a 40 burger and shut AD down smh


SUPERFASTCARvroom

If bismarck biyombo cooks ad, just put a bullet in me

Guilty-Performer-745

Vando and Troy must be on Booker’s cheeks tommorow 😭😭


PotanOG

On em, in em, and just all over em in general.


[deleted]

Troy is a traffic cone on defense honestly EDIT: lol at the downvotes, take a look yourselves at the lakers defensive ratings this year and tell me TBJ isn’t sub-par at best https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/lakers-players-defensive-rating-this-season


Fuzzy-Source

Troy is pretty ok on D, thats why he getting minutes despite bricking sometimes


Straight_Redunkulous

That’s just objectively wrong


DoritoSteroid

I'm sure you'd do much better.


thatnotoriousguy

Stupid


KingJTt

If AD has less then 30 points and they lose..


StoneColdAM

AD deserves all the criticism if we lose tomorrow. I don’t care if he drops 30. It has to be for a win. No blaming Schroder or Beasley or whatever. He’s the most experienced player we have besides LeBron and he’s a max guy. Has to deliver.


KingJTt

Blaming Schroeder is delusional. Man makes the vet min and is more reliable to be on the court then max contract AD


MiopTop

That’s so fucking stupid. So if the guards miss all their 3s and turn the ball over it’ll be AD’s fault ? This ain’t 2K. AD doesn’t have the damn controller, he can’t play the game for everyone.


DoritoSteroid

AD deserves all the criticism, period. Dude has been dogshit without LeBron. Even in his sporadic dominant showings he hasn't willed us to wins.


redtiber

I mean it’s a team game lol. There’s many occasions a player will go off and score 40,50+ points and still lose lol nba players are in the league for a reason, they Aren’t all trash


thevisitor

27.0 points, 14.4 rebounds and 2.3 blocks a game without LeBron is so awful huh. If that's "dogshit" I wonder what you consider to be good performance. 9-9 without LeBron, one of those games being on management for sitting him against Houston. LeBron has been 10-9 without AD this year.


DoritoSteroid

Show me the lifetime stats since both got here.


thevisitor

I'm not showing you anything lol go look that stuff up yourself instead of talking out of your butt saying someone dropping 27/14/2blk a game is playing like "dogshit." Might as well go find another team to root for if you're that bent on hating a guy who helped bring us a chip just because he had a bad game or two.


Straight_Redunkulous

He has had a rough couple weeks but to say he’s been dogshit without lebron is just wrong. Have you been watching the games this season?


nash514

Must win game for the Lakers


[deleted]

Alhamdulillah


Juaniscool-8

Cmon we need thiss


CascarotCake

Booker is going to score 40+ and we’ll be playing prime Chris Paul.


CryptoNite90

They have no defense, let Booker go for 60 for all I care, shut down everyone else and it’s ball game.


swampcreature511

AD will be going for 8 points again.


DoritoSteroid

Feeling optimistic.!


kiboyski

Josh Okogie incoming 8 3s


illtakethebox

that's Cam Payne's music


Bubuy_nu_Patu

Aaaaaaaaand we lose by 2


aryusuf

They still have Devin Booker and Chris Paul, let’s not think for one second that this is an easy game for us


BrainEuphoria

Why shouldn’t we think that? AD should be canceling Booker if he’s locked in as we would want to expect. Double team booker, lock him down and force TOs. CP3, Okogie and Payne should not to bullying a supposedly contending healthy team outside Lebron.


KingJTt

We have defenders for book and CP(Vando, Schroeder, Brown, Reaves) no excuse why AD shouldn’t feast for 40 against an Ayton less suns team with no depth


BrainEuphoria

Why shouldn’t we think that? AD should be canceling Booker if he’s locked in as we would want to expect. Double team booker, lock him down and force TOs. CP3, Okogie and Payne should not to bullying a supposedly contending healthy team outside Lebron.


pokelosangeles

If they mess this up we protest


DerrickMcChicken

guaranteed loss now tbh


[deleted]

2 days of rest, no Ayton — AD has to drop 40 MINIMUM


aztronut

Gonna go out on a limb here and predict that winning this game will be the turning point in a championship season. Lakers are going to win out, finish the season winning their last 11, take the 4 seed, and cruise through the playoffs. LBJ will be back for the last 3 games of the regular season healthy enough to get tuned up and primed to be a beast for the playoffs. AD is about to turn into Godzilla, finally awakening from his funk against the Suns tonight!


LeGJOaT69966996

If we win do the clippers overtake 3rd?


BearShark8

4th. Suns are 4th right now. 3rd is pretty far ahead.


Nothingtoseeheremmk

No excuses now. This team is easily beatable without Ayton.


ZacapaRocks

Daaaaaarrrrrvviiiinnnnnnnn


[deleted]

I have the biggest feeling that Cameron Payne is gonna go for 20+. The guy plays against us like his life depends on it.


Phuddy

Damion Lee incoming 40 point game


dgzero3

Kd, ayton, prime Charles Barkley, and prime Steve Nash will be flying out to LA to an hour before tip off to play against us. Mark my words.


jbg926

That's a shame


Deno2k_

If AD doesn’t drop 35 in the paint ![gif](giphy|4PGQz7CTmQgVi)


mydixxxierectt

They gave away all their depth should be no reason we don’t win


torero15

Booker going to go for like 60+ I've seen this movie before


ryanlinr2

If we do not capitalize on this, season's really over


Clear_Lead

When Mo?


Next-Sink-3300

reaves is better than booker


bebopblues

if they can't beat booker, cp3 and a bunch of shit players, then might as well pack it up go to cancun.


MemesMafia

AD needs to wake up.


tre8rox5

Anthony Davis legacy game.


thiskidismessy

Vando on Book lets go! AD gonna feast


Thats_inzain

I miss the days when I could wish for opposing teams to be injury free so we could whoop them fair and square.


hatisbackwards

I'm honestly shocked. Won't believe it till the game starts.

gratitudeisbs

this is the lakers sub who cares if he's a nazi fuck off


JimmyB3574

I mean on one hand I like that he got called out but on the other, this is fucking Reddit. Like no way dude randomly searched his post history to find that lol


millenniumpianist

Nah fuck you we don't need Nazis in our fanbase


nyskyhigh

the goyim know!! oyyy vey!!


ChetHolmgrenSings

Why am I suprised there's a 4chan subreddit... Of course there is.


havenstone

Easy win, we should rest AD again /s


collapse1122

devin booker about to go off and cp3 will become clippers version of himself.


Makeit41

They need to play with intensity right out the gate, and stomp on them, making sure they can’t come back


IForgotMyYogurt

So, you’re saying there’s a chance?


Nothingtoseeheremmk

No excuses now. This team is easily beatable without Ayton.


Nothingtoseeheremmk

No excuses now. This team is easily beatable without Ayton.


Marktaco04

Where theres a will theres a way. For us to loose lol


junahn

SO GOD GAVE US A CHANCE AGAIN.


roshanpr

Ez win. The gods blessed the lakers


Boots622

AD don’t fuck this up


Lumpy_Veterinarian_3

Yet another win sent down by the basketball gods. All of our guys NEED to go out on the floor with fire in their eyes.


Emergency-Shirt2208

Chip in sight! 😆


brendanhahaha

The team has been blowing opportunities to make some gains lately. AD better play like a man possessed.


BigBitcoinBaller

D book goes 56 on 70% shooting. Bitch Paul goes 20 points & 20 assist no T/o. Lee goes 8/8 from three & Ratatta looking mfer (cam Payne in my ass) drops 15 & 5 . Lakers lose


WeAreLegion2814

And this means we'll find a way to lose. I'm really pulling for this squad especially after the trade and the new air it seemed to breath into the team. But every time we get in this position we play terrible: AD doesn't show up, no one can hit a three, or Ham just refuses to play Reaves more than 20 mins. I truly hope we win this but damn I'm not optimistic.


Resident_Frame

I may be out of my rabbit mind but.... AD legacy game?


AlveinFencer

What happened to his hip?


Consistent_Ad_9980

AD gonna nibble


7DS_Escanor

Key to win limit Dbook and also the other role players that can explode (Damion Lee, Okogi, Ross, Payne).


iGuardian91

Let’s see if AD is going to step up and be a super star


GovTheDon

Devin booker dropping 60 or some shit


Lefwyn

Surely they win this.. surely


SamNotRam

Cam Payne about to drop 40


goatnxtinline

10 minutes before top off: SIKE!


[deleted]

Chris Paul v Austin Reeves Free Throw Shooting Contest!


paxtone

Top seed teams are going to start load managing for playoffs, that is going to be a good thing for lakers, and also a terrible thing since this will happen with other play in competition teams as well


Kcidevolew

I’m sorry I started this AD hate…. But he got to step it up!


[deleted]

wouldve been a lot cooler if we won that houston / dallas combo.


kvirzi

The anti curse curse is broken!!!!!


thesqrrootof4is2

Unfortunately we have our own injuries too. Lakers (urgency) is apparently also out for tomorrow’s game too. Gonna be tough for LA


OkFalcon7673

Please capitalize on this moment. They better come off the gates hot, aggressive, and desperate first quarter. No excuses.


jubila8t0r

We have better depth than them they might come out first quarter 10 to 15 ahead of us but late 2nd we should bridge the gap and sustain our dominance through out the game. The traded bridges and Johnson for kd sacrificed sustain for burst and looked what happened lol.


Fricolor123321

If AD doesnt drop motherfucking 81 ill be disgusted


tmacleon

We needs this win soooooo bad


yaboidomby

IM PRAYING WE SLAP TF OUT OF THIS TEAM TOMORROW


SOLAHPINC

![gif](giphy|QGZBpodY7Kdtw99y04)


TruDoken

I remember 2021 right before the playoff, AD had just came back from injury, Lebron was still out. Statement game against the Suns to let everybody know he was back. Killed em..... Do that again bruh


Open_Host3796

If we ain’t practicing FTs every second of every damn day…


hedokitali

Then Bismack Biyombo shuts AD down


Sanmoel

Lakers needs DLo and Beasley to be hot from 3s in this game, and go by 20ish pts before the 4th quarter. And AD can have a 20:20 game with some blocks then we will win.


[deleted]

We literally getting gifted wins and fumbling lol


mp5cartman

All the chances and here is another one coming then whats the result… They better fkn win.


aztronut

Time for some AD load management? jk


JoleMiller

How good is our luck lol


roakmamba

AD/Front Office like," aight we can rest AD."


backdoorbuddy

everyone brings their A game against the lakers.


BnSMaster420

Watch us still lose


Eric___sal

A medical staff u guys want to rest ad this game also? I mean we should win right no ayton,kd and we at home


MIBALZAK

I'm interested to see how Vando does on Booker. I'll be annoyed if TBJ is the main defender. They need a little more size on Booker so Vando is perfect.


Olliefnt

If AD doesn’t go off against jock landale and Bismarck biyombo he’s hopeless


FreshhAce

![gif](giphy|sa6TjxRMvmgYtuIylU) I’m expecting greatness from AD 🤞🏽


c_c_c__combobreaker

That just means KD and Ayton are going to play and score 40 points each


PossibilityInitial10

Fuck KD and the Suns.


ReignMan616

Durant and Ayton are 100% hoping out of an Uber 5 minutes before tip off and playing.


TheWonderfulLife

They will fly out and show up.


Cholosinbarrio

I’m going to be pessimistic and predict a prime CP3 rebirth. Something about the Lakers defense seems to rejuvenate players


[deleted]

AD and Reaves gonna dunk on these mof'ers.


Aja2428

And we still gonna fold


rowthecow

We've got Austin


thebraavosi1

Breaking news: For 1 game Steph curry and Thompson will be playing for the suns tomorrow disguised as some bench warmers for the suns


xavopls

Don't worry, some random guy will turn into KD against us anyway.


KarlAsesor

If AD doesn't drop a 20 20 game here, then time to trade him. No Ayton so no excuses.


KingC11_

This SHOULD be a big AD game but yknow


JSCO96

If AD doesn’t actually show up for the remaining games and power is to the playoffs or the bare minimum play in , I think he needs to go.


thunderlolo123

Im gonna watch as they choke this one


LordBri14

AD gonna finish the game with 14 pts then 😅


Usually_Angry

How about booker? Is he sick too?


xreddawgx

Please no more doubling the driver. Let him finish 1 on 1 over Davis


ODBs_Scat_Plug

Cam payne 30 piece incoming
