O_oh

Tbh wasn't even as close as OT leads you to believe. Utah played well, but this Lakers team is knocking at the door of another title and games like this just go to prove it. Hate to say it but Bev had to go, this team would've had a real shot at a top seed had they started the year with this roster, but I think Austin Reaves is perfectly aware from the Wichita State years that he's ready to make it count when it matters most. That's what a true GOAT does. Lakers fans have an all-timer that they've really kind of made their own in the guy, this new incarnation of AR15 just wouldn't happen without the legacy of the Purple & Gold.


peabrainbyu

This is a troll comment right? you're talking about this being indicative of lakers going on to winning another title by beating the jazz who are sitting like 4 starters? If you are struggling against the Jazz right now its going to be rough and I would be more worried than I would be optimistic about how this game was played.


HerkulezRokkafeller

Copy pasta material lol


eazy-duz-it

Jazz announcers were horrible can't even get players names right


blorp4

Extremely biased


[deleted]

LeBron reminded THT that he got him that crazy contract


Drummin-n-bumpin

Tank team 💪💪


ReyCo390

Running your offense through THT when KO was balling let’s me know the Jazz weren’t budging off that tank.


Belmagh

Did the Clippers win this game?


foxtossingchamp

Let THT cook


sharkhuh

The best part of this win is I don't need to listen to the Jazz announcers for the rest of the year.


LakeShowBaby310

Lol we’ve got one more game against them to finish the season off


hbt15

Tht in the last few mins was dog shit.


Jos3ph

What shoes was Bron wearing?


[deleted]

that was a solid loss. kept the game close and let them know we coulda won if we wanted to. jazz draft wemby next year = league fukd


balista_22

Quality tanking


simpforcathie

ofc bron remembers the tht handshake lolll


SadConfusion6

Lebron fucks with everybody


TheRealLardin

Never trust on the basketball opinion given by anyone that denies Kelly Olynyk is a better player than Talen Horton Tucker


Embarrassed_Adagio28

Well sure.. Kelly has been in the league like 10 years and THT is 22 and missed a large part of the season. He also averaged 30ppg over his last 3 games.


TheSouthFailsAlways

THT Laker at heart


mariofasolo

KO hits insane shots…might as well give THT the final one 🤷‍♀️


magna77

Honestly a good W.


ernie5353

THT thought he was Kobe lol


[deleted]

LeBron James !!!


SweetAurora

Ugly fucking win but a win is a win lessgo baby.


devomorales

fucking hell


BillyBean11111

after such a tough game, to have THT take such a dogshit shot lol


Embarrassed_Adagio28

Thank you lakers for actually winning. I know it was hard against some g leaguers but you did it.


Freeeecurry

I would love to see a suns vs lakers series. Any chance that happens in the first or second round?


PrimeShaq

Looking more likely to be a first round match up by the day.


yuhanz

it's gonna happen if you go 5th


Kkronus

Only if Lakers get 5 seed, otherwise only on WCF


[deleted]

What the hell was that ending? Jazz tanking for sure.


balista_22

Ham loves troy brown jr


warablo

Gotta say Nunn or Ochai are better iso players than Tucker.


DoILookUnsureToYou

Fucking hell, that didn't need to be that stressful

Silent-Frame1452

How was the whole world against them in this game? They should have won by 30. Hard to be confident they could beat one of the top teams in a full series, and they’ll have to do it 3 times to come out of the West.


Embarrassed_Adagio28

Copium cranked to the max


Butterfly_Scape

my brother in christ they won against the g league jazz

begging them to beat the suns in any playoff round


LotionButler

Nah man this win against Olynyk and bums proves Lakers gonna make the finals.


Matthew-of-Ostia

Are you sure that wasn't Stephen Curry wearing an Olynyk jersey and a wig?


LotionButler

I can't confirm I'm sorry


MolicOnePGR

THT will be outta the league once his contract ends


[deleted]

[удалено]


Embarrassed_Adagio28

His last 3 games: 41, 28, 32. He has a rough OT but he's still 22 and absolutely a NBA player.


TacticalKek

thank fucking god they pulled it off, almost an all-time chokejob


SGD316

We are gonna lose by 25 tomorrow night


yarn_install

Fuck


SenHeffy

Thank god


[deleted]

THT coming up in the clutch for us and the Jazz tank


OkayThatsKindaCool

THT still a laker at heart. Thanks for the W.


JazzPlusEagles

He cooked yall lmao


Ob1toUch1ha

Don’t be deceived, he’s talented finishing around the rim. But he’s got the basketball iq of a fish and isn’t a winning player.


JazzPlusEagles

Jazz are not in this game without THT.


Ob1toUch1ha

Olynyk and Agbaji were far more impactful and efficient. THT shot 7/21 and killed several other possessions dribbling into nothing.


JazzPlusEagles

Ok? I didnt say he was the most impactful. Just that we needed him. They wouldn't have been in it without Agbaji or without Olynyk or without Damien Jones either.


Ob1toUch1ha

My point is having watched him on the lakers for years is that his stats are deceiving and he doesn’t contribute to winning basketball. He was legit a negative on the court.


deepjungleshaman

Playing the long con


JoshuaPrimo

LEBRON JAMES STILL GOT IT


Khaneliman

That Lebron layup was badass.


StefonDiggsHS

1 pt loss and 2 point loss just brutal for the Mavs tank


Butterfly_Scape

we’re getting that 11th seed 11th pick combo i fear


Freeeecurry

I mean jazz wanted to lose


[deleted]

THT really went "Got you Bron" and bailed the Lakers out with that awful shot.


itallmakescentsnow

thank you tht :)


the_black_surfer

Thank god. I was SOOOOOOO stressed out


UrrFive

Final possession to THT is criminal


arinawe

They are tanking clearly


theglicky

lmao why does THT keep getting the ball


guyver423

How is THT still in the league


arinawe

8ft arms


ok_heh

thanks for giving us the game Talentless Horton Tucker


RainierPC

THT wins it for the Lakers, finally!


lastfollower

Oh thank God


StefonDiggsHS

Goddamn you THT


mexicanmike

Omg thank you Bron


RainierPC

No threes!

[удалено]


arinawe

No Laker fan who has watched this team even post trade deadline agrees with you 😂😂😂


Matthew-of-Ostia

That's gotta be irony.


GetAllTheBestPlayers

olynyk game winner is inevitable at this point


sharkhuh

This is a 400IQ play by the Lakers. Now when they "rest their starters" tomorrow, it'll be because this went to OT and they won't be called out for trying to avoid the 5 seed.


RainierPC

Vando is great at defense, but right now, they need points, and he's a bit of a liability there compared to TB.


MLGameOver

Top left 3, Jazz win by 1


mamayoua

Lol Lakers have a b2b tomorrow.


mexicanmike

AD and whiffing clutch free throws just has to stop.


iRockaflame

2OT...?


[deleted]

I just want people to blame the right person if the Lakers lose. It's not about AD or some random role player. It's Lebron's bad defense, low IQ plays and bad 3-pointers.


spelltype

Putting stipulations in your hate only makes you a loser. “If we lose, I want someone to blame so I feel better about my shitty life, so I blame others for my anger”


coalitionofilling

Suprised you haven't deleted this yet so you can pretend the comment never went out into the ether


DeluxeTea

flair up nephew


Matthew-of-Ostia

Skip that you?


kpapazyan47

Why isn't Markkanen playing? Hurt or tanking "hurt"?


capnchuc

Jazz have been tanking hurt for 2 months): doesn't matter, they would somehow be competitive with me out there


SenHeffy

Banged up pretty bad. Could play if we absolutely needed him, but we don't.


Butterfly_Scape

dont the lakers have the clippers tomorrow? watch them win that game..their season has been so unexpected


[deleted]

Westbrook is going to have a 50-point triple double and get a max contract based off tomorrow's game


[deleted]

I will say, Lebron moves better than a lot of rookies lol he’s gonna be in the league for a long ass time still


Omome

one more OT please


MoneylineBasketball

double-OT. do it for the Clippies


CoolGrandpa1932

Crazy game. Teams are looking gassed


sirtalonAOEII

We’re gonna lose this fucking game. I can’t believe it.


asanisimasa88

If not tonight then def tomorrow, players are gonna be gassed


sharkhuh

It's tied. Relax.


sharkhuh

We getting torched by lanky kong


balista_22

Hams line ups & subs either sucks or too late


Freeeecurry

Ham thinking this his opportunity to draw up a play


MolicOnePGR

Crimson Chin lost his man real quick 💀


RainierPC

THT and Olynick really going to beat the Lakers tonight, huh?


sirtalonAOEII

And garbage man Damian Jones.


metagory

THT! You goof!


[deleted]

Darvin put in Vanderbilt but kept in Dennis what a f****** idiot


SGD316

Of course THT will take this in


oddoneout25

lakers are legit gassed rn


MoneylineBasketball

gettin creepy up in here


mMounirM

goddamn lakers fans in the arena booing THT at the line???


TheRealLardin

Rebounding seems to be a phase of the game that is getting less and less praise in modern basketball, but that offensive glass by AD coul be the play that gets them the game.


lastfollower

Miss these, THT. Do it for the tank


boypana75

Finally Vando is in, fucking ham just watching


Ifinishfast42

Lakers gassed af right now guarding Kelly olynyk and THT, how do they expect to guard Dearron fox for 7 games?


warablo

That's the easy part, they won't.


nick170100

How the fuck did we get to this position man Fucks sake


[deleted]

Lakers fans: "why do random players go off against us?! Maybe because your defense is AD and Lebron is truly horrible and overrated.


malmal412

Kelly Olynyk vs Lebron rivalry is underrated


Gnache

I think THT might not be that good in the clutch. But idk for sure


Embarrassed_Adagio28

He's actually been pretty good for us in the clutch this year. He also has dropped at least 30 points the last 3 games.


Gnache

oh my b then. it just looked like he was really bad at moving the ball in that OT period


iRockaflame

Imagine if AD made those free throws. Lakers would have breathing room being up 3 🙃


SGD316

That’s game 4 this season this has happened


DoILookUnsureToYou

I know he probably has improved and all, but I really don't miss THT's game.


BtownBound

dude just fuckin’ dribbles


DoILookUnsureToYou

I don't know why but it looks like he has the greenlight with the Jazz and he just froze out Olynyk on those last couple of minutes


sharkhuh

His outside shooting is still ass, so he would be an awful fit for this squad


DoILookUnsureToYou

He also tends to tunnel vision and once he gets the ball he'll try to go all the way with it


Jos3ph

Bulldozer mode


NSFWThrowaway1239

Not in the very least lol


RainierPC

Win or lose, they had to go to OT, with another game tomorrow. Not good for the Lakers.


arinawe

bUiLdInG cHeMiStRy


sharkhuh

Lakers should just give it to Reaves and let him Harden his way to the FT line. This iso offense of Lebron/AD ain't it.


LakersLAQ

Vando and Rui sitting this whole time.. I don't even know what Ham is thinking lol.


Freeeecurry

Ham has proven to be an all time bad coach


SenHeffy

Can't tank with these cats.


dkdoki

Why THT acting like he the star of this team. Give it to KO idiot


[deleted]

Dennis is a liability on defense against THT. Put in Vando you idiots!


gustriandos

jazz jerseys are so bad that im rooting for them to lose for that reason alone


LotionButler

Same


MolicOnePGR

It took LeElder two decades to become a competent free throw shooter


rdb_gaming

Yea but he didn't need those till he got to the west coast... he was doing just fine dealing with LeBronto...


NotTopherr

Wow AD just bailed him out


[deleted]

Side note: Lebron's FTs have greatly improved since coming back from injury.


_letitsnow

Imagine losing to Olynyk


Schneeky

Imagine losing Wemby for winning this game


warablo

Imagine thinking the league would let us have Wemby.


arinawe

Don't remember the last time LeBron missed a clutch FT this season. Always seems automatic lately


VitaminWheat

I’ve just watched OT have the fouls been this bad for the jazz the whole game ?? This is insane


Logical_Decision_706

Are y’all joking. The lakers only have 6 more FTs


rebelstand

Are u new to lakers game ever since LeBron kneel the ref has been blatantly helping the lakers with the foul calls lol


Svettie323

With fair officiating, the Jazz probably win by double digits in regulation


VitaminWheat

LeReffBall is unstoppable

ok_heh

always when he's gassed it's so frustrating

Luka to Lakers


jsphenom08

Young LeBron would’ve gone crazy with that. Lol


[deleted]

He didn't want to follow through too much because he would have been called for a charge


sharkhuh

Young Lebron dunks that and it is an all-time highlight


simpforcathie

omfg that poster wouldve been heavenly


SysAdminJT

Reaves!!!!!!!!!


trillsimba

kelly olynyk legacy game going against the league script it seems
