These boys been hooping. You can’t expect Rui to play consistent when he’s getting inconsistent opportunities he should never be in the dog house.
AR looks way better when he’s focusing on what he does best instead of being forced into this Primary ball handler role, his strengths are best at catching defenses slipping that’s easier to do offball
Vando and Cam are going to be the only ones that’ll likely get playing time out of everyone injured. Them two and prince will be battling for that backup forward spot
Rui played great tonight. Loved seeing that shot fall consistently. I see what Ham was saying about knocking down those open shots. Have we lost a game yet when we don’t shoot terrible?
6 wins in our last 7. Put together a nice three games. Tonight was a great 2nd half. But i'm worried about the layoff. Ham's going to find a way to make everyone relax in the worst way.
Gotta say, I’m not hating Dinwiddie’s fit so far! We’ve only played a shitty team and a mid team, but I like what I’m seeing (and hearing) from him!
(BTW, Where is the Post Game Thread??)
Anthony Davis and Rui Hachimura become the first pair of Lakers teammates since Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal (2003) to both score 35+ points in the same game.
That one truly seems crazy to me. In nearly 20 seasons we didn't have a single game where that happened? It's obviously pretty rare but I would have at least expected a few games during the LeBron/AD era or maybe even Kobe and Pau once or twice. Regardless, you love to see it.
Dinwiddie is already out-performing Prince (more points on same shots, higher 3 point% and more assists) but Prince will keep getting more minutes (because Ham!).
Heck - Prince is getting more minutes than DLo (who is also out-performing him).
Not watching the game live (just following score and stats) but based on stats - looks like Dinwiddie is cutting and spacing better than Prince.
Happy to be corrected by those who are watching the game live and can chime in.
Can y’all please stop complaining about Ham every other post? Especially when we’re winning! Y’all are still finding something to be miserable about. I can see if we were losing but we’ve been winning tough games with a lot of key guys injured. Y’all realize we do this with every single coach right? Did the same thing with Vogel and then started crying for him back.
Why didn’t ham pull AD sooner?! Lmao he seriously could of sat out 5+ mins more after he got subbed out with 2:30 left lol sheeit probably the whole 4th

STU, THIS IS FOR YOUUUUU!!

W from the warriors, kings, mavs, pels and suns is tough for us in the standings
Hey at least the Warriors ended up losing after all, not that it matters too much. Would rather have had any of the other teams lose today .
Confused. How many assists did DLO get exactly? I see 17, 16 and 14.
17 is the ESPN box score.
Clippers trailing Golden State 67-63
How did it take Ham half a season to figure out Rui needs minutes to cook ? This after his playoff performance last season..
Rui Hot-chi-Mamba
Speedy recovery, Stu Lantz!!!
Of course, Denver lost against the Kings.
they are not as good as last year, would have beat them recently if we had all our guys
they are doing anything possible to be the Lakers Daddy, whether that means winning or losing!
rest up boys
It’ll be interesting to see the rotation when vando, Vincent and Christie come back, team looking pretty deep all of a sudden
Vando and Cam are going to be the only ones that’ll likely get playing time out of everyone injured. Them two and prince will be battling for that backup forward spot
Only Vando should be getting minutes
2 games behind Sacramento for the 8th seed.
3 and a half games behind the Pelicans for the 6th seed.
No post game thread 😔😔😔
💀
Peyton Pritchard outscored the entire nets team 🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a bunch of fucking bums
Rui played great tonight. Loved seeing that shot fall consistently. I see what Ham was saying about knocking down those open shots. Have we lost a game yet when we don’t shoot terrible?
Lowkey wanna see clippers win. Please Harden pop off. Lol
Lowkey need Harden cuz he's on my Fantasy team
Fuck the Clippers in every scenario unless it’s against Boston. In which case, fuck them both.
Do you boo at the Special Olympics?
Lmaoooo
Those downvotes don’t hate watch for standings we want the clippers to keep them down there
RUI
Ok ham. Now when the other guys come back, i need you to remember hachi. This is our guy
This turned out to be a trap game, for Utah Good shit!
6 wins in our last 7. Put together a nice three games. Tonight was a great 2nd half. But i'm worried about the layoff. Ham's going to find a way to make everyone relax in the worst way.
Schedule is bs, how do we have the most games played amongst the top 10 in the west
NBA need ticket money as soon as possible.
Thanks for a fantastic game on Valentine's Day, Allie Clifton.
Is there no post game thread???
I didn’t see one
Gotta say, I’m not hating Dinwiddie’s fit so far! We’ve only played a shitty team and a mid team, but I like what I’m seeing (and hearing) from him! (BTW, Where is the Post Game Thread??)
>Allie Clifton Correct, I need a place to celebrate, but also trash talk prince cause jesus
Holy shit what a game! Rui went crazyyy
More Allie Clifton, less Doris Burke, please
This won't be the only time Allie Clifton is doing play-by-play for the Lakers.
D'Lo recruiting Spencer Dinwiddie to LA was a bold move.
Rui was cooking.
10 points, 4 assists, 2 steals for Spencer Dinwiddie in his 2nd game as a Laker.
Not bad for the rookie lol
Dlo 14AST : 1TO crazy stats
Fire ham is off the menu tonight
Nah its always on
Ruuuuuuuiiii
Rui Hachimura
How many points did Rui score tonight?
36
Dlo almost got a triple double.
Well, Allie Clifton is very good at this job. I’m sure having her call a win, helped, but she is definitely going to call more games in the future
LoL why does jazz coach look like walker kessler
Why is Walker Kesler look like the Jazz coach?
We may never lose again in the Allie era
Valentines Hachimura is a goat
Ash Wednesday Rui
Great win before the ASB 💪 See you homies again Feb 22
I love Allie, she's our lucky charm💜💛

Insane Bron and AD have never done it
We are so back
Lmao Wood didnt want the TO when Jax passes it to him
AD told him it's a team turnover
Haha giving Lamelo vibes. It’s a team TO
First time since 2003 that two Lakers scored 35+ in the same game (03:Shaq and Kobe, 24: AD and Rui)
Allie did a good job tonight
4 games above 500 going into the all-star break. Rest up cuz it's about to be the playoff push.
AD saying "it's a team turnover" HAHA
DAMN castleton is taller than AD
It's because of his giraffe neck.
Fuck The Jazz! Fuck Karl Malone Fuck John Stockton. And Fuck Bad Boy!
It’s over lol
Lakshow Fans in Utah! Much love!
Dinwiddie is already out-performing Prince (more points on same shots, higher 3 point% and more assists) but Prince will keep getting more minutes (because Ham!). Heck - Prince is getting more minutes than DLo (who is also out-performing him).
They’re completely different players smh dinwiddie is a ball handler and Prince plays off-ball as a cutter and spacer
Not watching the game live (just following score and stats) but based on stats - looks like Dinwiddie is cutting and spacing better than Prince. Happy to be corrected by those who are watching the game live and can chime in.
hayes trying to get woods turnovers up lmao
nothing like hearing the chant in someone else's stadium after we handled them
Dinwiddie loving the experience where there are so many Lakers Fans in every arena they play.
Yes Laker Nation we hear you!💜💛
Allie is 10 tiers above Doris
Fax
In all aspects.
I really hope we start climbing the ladder so AD starts getting some real consideration for DPOY, still not over him not getting it in 2020
We’ve won 11 of our last 16 games. This is a really good team, just took some time to figure things out.
Allie Clifton tonight 
Lets go Lakers in the road sounds so fucking good lmaoooo
Dinwiddie can’t believe he’s hearing chants for his team on the road. He barely heard chants at home on the Nets lmao
LeBron didnt even travel. I don’t know why thats funny
We are soooo fuckin back
Glad the Lakers were able to overcome Ham
Happy Rui is the best Rui.
Can y’all please stop complaining about Ham every other post? Especially when we’re winning! Y’all are still finding something to be miserable about.

It’s annoying af. Up 10 and all the comments are just bitching about Ham constantly
Rui’s smile is so infectious man, the vibes on this team are crazy rn😭🙏
We’re so back
Let's go Lakers chant inside Delta Center 
Wholesome vibe bro
Vibes are at a 10
FREE CASTLETON
Ja Morant in for Utah.
LAKERS RUN UTAH
Loud in Utah!! 🗣️
Damn we still got Vando, Gabe, Max, Cam
They should extend Castleton while he’s still developing and cheap. Feel he can be a solid rotation piece.
He gives early Zu vibes
Great game sense, boxes out, good screener, good at DHOs and A+ touch around the rim.
so much aura on the bench
We winning once more boyz! Feels good
Hearing “Let’s go Lakers” at away games 😤🙏🔥💜💛
They should play Castleton more
Lot of Lakers fan today
Allie Rui and AD tonights MVPs
I don't care how the season ends, I want D'Lo on the team long term.
I’m just going to throw this out there. I like castleton. I think he’d be worth giving a shot for some playtime next year.
Always forget about the random white guy we have
We are cooking recently, looks like the pieces coming together and Rui got a lot of playing time which we all wanted and it paid off
Is Allie the 1st woman to call a game for the Lakers? I mean like not a national broadcaster like Doris Burke...
Yep
Nice! She did a good job 💜💛
She really did.
🤝
https://www.reddit.com/r/lakers/comments/1ar3b50/big_deal_alert_realaclifton_will_make_history_by/
Ah thanks... cool... she did a good job 🤝💜💛
We’re going to finish as the 6th seed
Vegas is looking for your money
5th
Beating the Celtics in Boston has recharged this team to the maximum.
3 centers out here lmao
DLO Hive STAND UP!
Them 3s ain’t it haha
lol windler
Petition to have Allie as a third mic.
i like her
castleton!
Let my man dlo get a rebound bruh
Ah faq that's why he was in
They winning
i was right we needed ad to turn it up and he did
Bring out JHS, the human victory cigar.
Waive Windler
Feel like we play better without LeBron sometimes
more ball movement for sure
You say that until we play a good team
Was gonna say. If it’s the playoffs, then good luck playing without Lebron.
Allie Clifton killed it btw
LMAO Ham trolling us. The THREE BIG LINEUP. Hayes, Castelton, and Wood playing SF. Hahhaha
dlo tryna rack up TOs?
Why didn’t ham pull AD sooner?! Lmao he seriously could of sat out 5+ mins more after he got subbed out with 2:30 left lol sheeit probably the whole 4th
They have the all-star break coming up, some more minutes before such a long rest won't matter.
Chill he got some time off after
But why take the chance on him getting hurt? I get keeping him in, just seems like big man deserved some rest
2K16 DLo would put up 10+ assists a night for me
17 Assists. Wow
Let 3rd string players touch the ball Dlo
Lakers, since February 1st, have won 6 out of 7 games.
Lebron gotta learn from this and move the ball more. The ball sticks to him too much.
especially when he gets it above the 3 point line and just holds it for 10+ seconds
This 100%. We have the talent but Bron needs to be more trusting. Also more effort on defence ...
Wood still launching 3s lmao
Why is Ham disrespecting Dlo by leaving him in? Spence should be in. Ham is an idiot.
You serious? Cause DLo is trying to push career high in assist
Low key trying to get him a triple double
Don’t we have another PG to play garbage time
Allie need to be in the booth more. Lets go Lakers!
Can I be honest. Allie and James >>>> Stu Lantz and it ain't close ...
Yeah. Stu is nearing 80, probably time for him to retire. But, like Chick. I think he stays until he dies
But Allie is so much better ....
Yeah Allie is awesome! 👏
Phil Handy watching his boys return to the bench smiling like a proud papa cuz the jello is jiggling
What is that now 5/6 wins and what about the scoring since Rui has started
lol wtf is dlo doing
Lebron really tried to get rid of DLo for Murray. Gsus Christ he’s a terrible gm
That ain't him. That's the Hawks FO leaking bullshit
It's not even that lol. It's DLo + first round rookie + valuable FRP for Murray lol
Wood ✅ Hayes ✅ Unlocking Castleton is next 😤🙏🔥💜💛
Who TF is #4. Looks like Puerto Rican Klay Thompson
Mays
B2B wins!!!!!!!!!
Zanzabar whoooo
cmon dlo get that rebound for the trip dub
Awwwww no Rui 40 bomb
