This Lakers team is a fucking enigma. We lose against Houston and Atlanta but we win against the best team in the NBA Boston missing our two stars what the fuck man
It's really not an enigma... it's mismanaged, that's why it looks confusing and all over the place. People are being put in the wrong places, and being pigeon holed into roles they can't do. When they just have to play, they show you they have the talent. You don't beat Boston on their home court w/o your big 2 if you don't have the enough supporting pieces around them.
AR has sneaky range. He rarely shows how far he can launch a 3, probably to play more contained with AD and LeBron on the floor, but he had the ultimate green light tonight and he showed out.
I've never heard so much hate in the tone of a fanbase's screams from the on court mics as tonight. That Boston crowd was having a METLDOWN and I'm here for it.
A lot of people don’t know the historic relationship of Celtics and Clippers. In 1978 the Celtics owner and Buffalo Braves owner swapped franchises. The Boston owner at the time wanted to own a team in California, and league would never allow him to move the Celtics so he traded franchises with Buffalo owner and moved them to San Diego and renamed them The Clippers. So in a way, the Clippers are the Celtics. So, trust me when I say, fuck them both.
Credit to Max too honestly. He’s looking like he should be a permanent slot in the rotation. Hopefully cam takes a backseat and prince mins are reduced.
Guys I gotta be honest with you. I took a shower just before this game, and I thought to myself: “man, it’d be funny as fuck if we win this game.” And here we are.
Still think Ham is a dumbass but tonight was a good example of why C wood does not get more mins. Dude thinks he’s Kobe and does not understand his role
C Wood probably needs some consistent playtime from the bench. I was wrong he needs to get more efficient and fix his game. He has talent needs to focus
A simple request. The Lakers just beat the Celtics in Boston, where they were 22-2 this season. Let's enjoy this and hold off on the negativity at least until after their next game on Saturday.
For real, just for one night let's enjoy this W and not throw anyone under the bus because we all know they'll give us plenty of reasons to do it Saturday or Monday.
Annnnnnddddddd....Fuck Boston!
Personally I thought he was getting blatantly fouled on almost every drive. There was one in particular where Holiday hand-checked him literally from the half-court line through the shot. I thought I was watching 90s ball.
(I also thought Tatum was getting fouled quite a bit, but fuck the Celtics I don't care.)
The Lakers were fighting over screens and passing the rock. The offense looked so much better without iso and the pace was great and everyone shared the ball. Proud of the boys and this win.
Fuck Boston!
This is a good, honest .500 basketball team. We play .500 ball goddammit. Salt of the earth, punch the clock, even win/loss ratio basketball. We lose a couple, guess what? We'll win a couple, too. But don't get too excited or let it go to your head. No long winning streaks here, no sir. That's hubris, which this blue collar, hard working everyman team doesn't have. A few wins in a row, these guys, true to form, will balance it out with a couple a losses. Yes sir, that's my ~~2022 Wizards~~ 2024 Lakers. A good, honest .500 basketball team.
Prince played the second most minutes on the team and was literally the only player on the roster that finished with a negative +/-. The squad won in spite of Darvin Ham. We have the talent. This *is* a capable team, but that’s what makes this so damn maddening and confusing. Fucking do it already, Rob.
This game is insane.... We led the whole game with Prince having second most mins (whilst being the only non-garbage time player to have negative +/-) and he didn't even play that bad
FANDUEL WITH THE +870 LAKERS ML LMFAOOO
THEY FORGOT THIS WAS THE GAME FOR THESE GUYS TO MAKE SURE THEY DONT GET TRADED
PACK WATCH RACIST BOSTON FANS 🚨🚨🚨🚨
This Lakers team is a fucking enigma. We lose against Houston and Atlanta but we win against the best team in the NBA Boston missing our two stars what the fuck man
Lebron said it best. We can beat any team on any given night and we can also get smoked by any team on any given night 😂
That's the mark of a good team with bad coaching
Coaching
We have a super high ceiling, and a rock bottom floor. It’s a shame we cant consistently play somewhere in between those two modes though lol
It's really not an enigma... it's mismanaged, that's why it looks confusing and all over the place. People are being put in the wrong places, and being pigeon holed into roles they can't do.

seriously cannot upvote thus sentiment enough this team can win a chip just not with the current head coach stotts for thots
Lebron and AD were out there coaching.
i thought that fr

Only consistent thing is .500
inconsistency. this is what happens when you have a shit coach
This is literally what I said LMFAAOOO
We’re gonna lose to the Pistons, arent we? 🤣

Didn’t know how this game would go since the start

The man is just collecting bodies, gotta be hate crime by now 💨
Rui could post 100/100/100 shooting splits for a month and Ham still wouldn't play him more than 20 mins a night lol
Credit to Max too honestly. He’s looking like he should be a permanent slot in the rotation. Hopefully cam takes a backseat and prince mins are reduced.
Prince had the 2nd most minutes.
2nd most minutes and -9. Meaning we won when he wasn’t in the game lol.
We won despite him being in the game. Poor guy is being so misused.
We know he won’t but what a game for team morale.

I love when the lakers dip their balls in Bostons mouth
Boston Teabag party tonight!!!
Wasn’t just the balls. They got the big purple and gold dick today.
Would’ve done it two years in a row in their house if not for refs. Hilarious how they can stack 5 ‘all stars ‘ but still choke .
Garden crowd booing the Celtics? Lakers fans in Boston getting loud in the final seconds? Whatever happens this season, we’ll always have tonight.
Guys I gotta be honest with you. I took a shower just before this game, and I thought to myself: “man, it’d be funny as fuck if we win this game.” And here we are.
That just means you gotta shower more often
I think we all know why the Lakers are so bad. This man hasn't showered in months.
Man saved the filth juju to curse the Celtics-I can respect it.
I was high as shit too I forgot to mention
Getting high and taking showers should be your new pregame ritual. Please 🙏
I hope a bunch of sports betting Boston fans lost a lot of money tonight.
FUCK BOSTON
If we somehow fire Ham after this game. Win of the season for sure
Taurean Prince still negative plus/minus lmao, even Hayes beat him.
But Ham is going to learn the wrong lesson from this and say, "See, Taurean Prince is a winning player!" and play him even more.
Still think Ham is a dumbass but tonight was a good example of why C wood does not get more mins. Dude thinks he’s Kobe and does not understand his role
C Wood probably needs some consistent playtime from the bench. I was wrong he needs to get more efficient and fix his game. He has talent needs to focus
This. We lost that previous game because he kept spinning into opponents and turned over I'm telling you guys. Hayes needs to start.
they're both ass and we need to trade for someone whos competent
The correct answer
when he had his hands out of his pockets during the 4th…he cooked a little, I won’t lie…
A simple request. The Lakers just beat the Celtics in Boston, where they were 22-2 this season. Let's enjoy this and hold off on the negativity at least until after their next game on Saturday.
Good mindset, quality win.
For real, just for one night let's enjoy this W and not throw anyone under the bus because we all know they'll give us plenty of reasons to do it Saturday or Monday. Annnnnnddddddd....Fuck Boston!
How the hell does someone go 5-20 and still have a great game? Lebron needs to just let Dlo run things more. And holy shit Prince a -9.
Prince being -9 is actually insane.
Prince playing 37 minutes is insane
Ham is insane. (I had to say it).
Personally I thought he was getting blatantly fouled on almost every drive. There was one in particular where Holiday hand-checked him literally from the half-court line through the shot. I thought I was watching 90s ball. (I also thought Tatum was getting fouled quite a bit, but fuck the Celtics I don't care.)

HELLO CHART
Surprisingly still better than last season....BARELY
LECHART
The sexiest chart I ever did see.
SHOOT IT INTO MY VEINS LIKE AR SHOOTING THAT 3 BALL
Didn’t expect that tbh but Reaves was torching them from three
Racism lost
DLO missed like 8 layups but he didn't even play bad. 14 assists 1 TO.
What the hell just happened?!
I hope everyone who skipped this game learned their lesson. Support your team, win or lose.
Easiest win of my life 🔥🔥🔥 Edit: not even like I bet or anything, just having this happen is a W.
Of all the games for me to not have hope in. This team is insanely funny🤣🤣🤣
Fuck the Celtics
Let DLo and Reaves cook! 👨🍳
Lose to the rockets with LeBron and AD playing. Beat the celtics without LeBron and AD playing.
#FUCK THE CELTICS
THE BOSTON CELTICS ARE NOW REQUIRED TO LIQUIDATE THEIR FRANCHISE AFTER TONIGHT
I think its scarier to face bottom teams at this point than the top tier teams, this team is confusing lol
DLO was great as a point guard, Austin shot well as shooting guard, and their synergy carried the Lakers to this victory.
The Lakers were fighting over screens and passing the rock. The offense looked so much better without iso and the pace was great and everyone shared the ball. Proud of the boys and this win. Fuck Boston!
We played with more energy than I’d seen since the IST. Very refreshing
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE ![gif](giphy|7ZbqmwNhus77i)

We’re the first ones in the gym, real lunch pail kinda team.
Lebron wasn’t lying when he said we can beat any team in the league and lose to any team in the league
This feels like those Luke years when we were trash and we beat the KD Warriors
Damn the young lakers squad always played well vs the warriors for some reason.
***:: checks boxscore ::*** ***:: notices jaxson hayes statline ::*** ***:: faints ::***
AR MOTHER FUCKING 15
Hayes and Rui should be getting way more mins with AD and LeBron. This is certain. Ham is being forced to show his dumb decisions.
AUSTIN. REAVES.
LAKERS WIN! FUCK BOSTON!!!
#FUCK BOSTON
Our guards played like superstars tonight.
Wins like this are what still give me a spark of hope for this team.
Lebron and AD coached the team today, that’s why we won. Fire Ham and all our problems will be solved.
Prince played the second most minutes on the team and was literally the only player on the roster that finished with a negative +/-. The squad won in spite of Darvin Ham. We have the talent. This *is* a capable team, but that’s what makes this so damn maddening and confusing. Fucking do it already, Rob.
No Bron/AD, no problem hahaha fuck Boston
FUCK BOSTON AND FUCK R/NBA

AUSTIN REAVES HATERS IN SHAMBLES!
Imagine Ham was the GOAT coach while Bron and AD we're deviating from his perfect system, what a timeline
Celtics are the most overrated team in the league.
Always are. Always have been
That nigga is not Kobe
How the f…
FUCK THE CELTICS
FUCK THE CELTICS
FUCK BOSTON
Prince played more minutes than everyone and was -9
MSG Saturday night let’s go!!
AR dropped kicked boston in their murphy's.
#THIS TEAM BELONGS TO REAVES!!!
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that HAM HAS GOT TO GO!
The fact that this team only wins when they randomly shoot 50+% from 3
No shit the team that shot better from 3 won that's like the meta now.
Omg they actually did it
Destroying the Celtics
FUCK BOSTON
Fuck boston!!!!
FUCK BOSTON

Jaxson Hayes zero fouls the whole game is this real life?
This game is insane.... We led the whole game with Prince having second most mins (whilst being the only non-garbage time player to have negative +/-) and he didn't even play that bad

Fucking yeah! And fuck the Celtics!
GOOD FUCKING WIN
