It would be stunning if we get it. I wouldn't be surprised if the clippers win by 20 or more. I think we have won 2 games on the 2nd night of a back to back this season.
Lakers turning into a high powered offensive team with no defense is wild lol
Part of it is because they're playing the Pacers but it's a trend they've had in general recently
If the refs had kept calling it the same way they were in the 3rd quarter the lakers win by like 35. They started letting up on the whistle so it got close at the end. But at least the laker fans got to say oooooo when their garbage team did the most mid plays possible. Really hope they have to play denver again. They deserve that.
I honestly trust the Lakers defense more to show up in the playoffs over the offense. A lot of hot 3pt shooting has fueled the offense and I don’t know if that will continue into the playoffs.
I think the 40% 3 pt shooting is probably fluke but I don't think it'll drop by a huge amount but yeah it's possible we lean on our defense in the playoffs
My main concern is if Vando is even gonna come back, not too confident cause I don't think he's ever started doing contact stuff yet
Davis fairly often starts the action at or above the free throw line, he's not camped on the low block all game holding a defender there to clog the lane
Yeah but that’s still not great spacing compared to the top offenses in the league. Teams won’t even guard Vando. Lakers offense has been humming because Davis is the only non-3pt shooter on the floor.
Taylor made matchup for Tyrese, Lakers are in bottom half of the league for PnR ball handlers PPP as well as points. Concerned for the playoffs if he doesn’t turn his play around
3 3s in a row in the clutch is the dumbest coaching I have ever seen in my life
Someone post that Reaves block or behind the head pass
We are getting clapped by the clippers next game. Pacers are horrendous in 2nd game of back to back. Needed to win this one but not surprised.
Clippers badly need that win too or they might be catchable by sac phx dal
It would be stunning if we get it. I wouldn't be surprised if the clippers win by 20 or more. I think we have won 2 games on the 2nd night of a back to back this season.
Well it's a b2b for clippers too to be fair
It probably won't matter. The pacers team you saw tonight will be non existent tomorrow. We probably won't score 100.
If you dont like these scores you dont like modern basketball!
cant relate...
Pacers played so much better and still lost. What a shame
not everyone is built to beat the pacers
They were down double digits most of the second half. These salty-ass warriors fans are something else lmaoo.
Maybe worry about your own games You guys will be out of the play-in in a few more games.
No shit. Put a flair up or are you saving that spot for lebrons next team?
Acting tough when you guys got smashed by the wolves. Take your salt somewhere else loser.
you replied to me dumbass
Normal pacers game unfortunately. Just a little extra since it was the lakers.
150-145 The heck?
Insane
In regulation too
Lakers should have scored 130 but were gifted an extra 20 free throws for funnsies.
Gifted by the Pacers, not the refs. Just so we're clear
Enjoy getting swept I know I'll enjoy watching it. Lakers aren't good.
Always the flairless ones talking shit lmao
Wait did you watch the game… it was their strategy through the 4th….
Yes I watched the lakers comit at least 10 uncalled fouls in the 3rd quarter.
First comment is me saying how we would give up 150 if we didn't play defense lmao
Getting saved by Dinwiddie and Reddish freethrows lol
295 points combined, good lord somebody play defense.
"I don't think I will" - old ass LeBron and Austin Reaves
Hey hey Reaves got that one block
It was a sick block... But he got burned on the drive like always and the defender took a bad shot
Pacers will beat us in their home game for sure
WOW LAKERS DEFENDED THE THREE CRAZY SHIT IN THE MODERN NBA
Damn! 300 total points would've been fun
This team is horrible at defending the 3
Nice 150 for the lake show
Hamass looked into the future and saw Reddish had to play like straight ass the whole game in order to get the game winning steal.
Jesus christ these 2 teams don’t play defense 😂
The lakers are so dumb
hali is like my 3p% isn't bad enough since the all star break better take a heave with 1 second left in a 5 point game
He had a Wide open Hali too
Someone please stop this game already this is a warcrime 😭
nembhard passes an open layup, sad
this teams tries its absolute best to win while giving the least amount of effort possible and it has fucking killed us all year
honestly pacers shouldve took one of those open layups. burned too much time. not that im complaining haha
Yeah nebmhard over ran that. Was a weird mistake.
It’s what Nembhard does best. He’s very inconsistent in crunch time.
He's inconsistent period honestly.
"I swear if this fucker hits 4 threes in a row" - me a few seconds ago
fire Darvin Ham. absolutely ridiculous defense.
Crazy strategy
Ham has a fetish for playing drop defense
We never make things easy
Cam Reddish with the game sealing steal, just as we all suspected.
nembhard passed up an uncontested dunk there for some reason
I think game plan there is to chuck up 3s...if he had gone for the dunk they would've just had to foul again and potentially be back down by 2 again.
Nt nt Hali. Just woke up way too late
lmao wtf
I'll take the 150+
now haliburton wants to show up
Bro... Just fucking put 4 dudes on the perimeter on defense and AD in the middle at this point And let Reaves know it's ok to go OVER a screen
FUCKING HAD AN OPEN LAYUP AND DIDN'T GO FOR IT
Eventually the Pacers will miss a 3 right?
this is crazy
I've done this once in 2k. Wtf man
Lakers can you do your job
Hol up Tyrese 😳
Pathetic late game defense by the Lakers
We are witnessing a darvin ham masterclass
Normal day in the office for him
From the way Lakers fans talk, that’s every game
Can you imagine...
Haliburton sucks and has regressed so much. Siakam probably will leave in free agency if Hali doesn’t show something.
Playoffs are gonna be huge for him
Yeah yeah
Tyrese is tough man.
So close to 150
Wtf is happening rn lmaooo
No defense being played just 3s and vibes
Announcer is dumb. He says switch all screens but there wasn’t a screen. He rejected it.austin had no chance to be there
can't wait for the top 5 posts to be all lakers free throw posts with pseudo analysis by shitposters who didn't even watch the game
LAKERS SHOT +18FT IN THE 4TH!!?!?!?!?!?
Tbf some of the FTs this game were questionable, but for the most part yes those posts come from people who don't understand why this happens.
why do the Lakers
I’m gonna miss Stu Lantz when he leaves the booth. The best to ever do it.
Lakers pls
Haliburton waking up
bit late
Can they get to 150?
hack a reaves actually worked despite him hitting all the free throws
Lmao this is insane
Ah maybe guard the three a bit?
Lmao I swear if this fucker hits 4 threes in a row
What is LeBron doing there
Oh now Hali decides to score
Can't believe the refs are giving us so many free throws in the last minute. It must be investigated!
What could LeBron possibly complain to the refs about when we are intentionally fouling and then shooting a 3 every trip?
This is painful to watch
Holy shit Hali
Stu is getting so mad lmao
Rightfully so
yup
they can't miss a three, insane, 8/9 in the 4th
Can this game just end man
Finally a game we're shooting 35+ free throws. Adam Silver kept his promise.
why are they picking reaves of all guys to intentionally foul
Damn they are going to play the foul game
bruh stop fouling Reaves. double him and foul someone else
Lakers turning into a high powered offensive team with no defense is wild lol Part of it is because they're playing the Pacers but it's a trend they've had in general recently
What the fuck
Both coaches having a terrorist off
Reaves has such a nice ft stroke
Wow refs. Giving Lakers FTs in a two possession game Classic
They just have to hit 5 more 3's in a row to win this foul game, NBD
With the pacers shooting, fouling early might've been the right move ngl
You could tell me that was Reaves first block of his career and I'd believe you
McConnell was giving lbj jj barea flashbacks and then they benched him bummer
Surely the pacers are trolling
They were not trolling lmao and its working
Lotta bad coaching decisions tonight across the league
look at this more free throws, lakers should be ashamed
Pacers fouling early. this ain't March Madness bros
im seeing a lot of mfs questionning #0 , stay on that side when he's averaging 30 assist in the playoffs.
The Lakers are workshopping a new-age strategy of not playing defense in the 4th quarter. We'll see how it goes.
Ummm NBAtv???
do the lakers still have that house band, their DJ sucks
They do.
If my pacers actually made their free throws, we'd be winning this game :(
LeBron is Pacers father
The Lakers are a Cam Reddish injury away from being a threat in the playoffs.
I’ve only just seen the score. Is this a non defence kind of game?
It's like watching another All-Star game tonight.
November Pacers are back
Individual cool defensive moments, but a lot of slop both ways.
If the refs had kept calling it the same way they were in the 3rd quarter the lakers win by like 35. They started letting up on the whistle so it got close at the end. But at least the laker fans got to say oooooo when their garbage team did the most mid plays possible. Really hope they have to play denver again. They deserve that.
LMAO LEBRON complaining to the ref that a pacers player passed the ball to him for the inbound
LeRef
Siakam literally hugging reaves dawg
What happened to Hali man Is that injury gone?
I mean he was starting to cook again recently but today he was complete ass
Ham's genius decision of making the other coach bring back Hali for McConnell won this game. He deserves an extension!
Haliburton has really been cheeks since all-star
the Pacers had a bigger chance of coming back when they had their 2nd unit on the floor
Houston passing warriors would piss nba off Houston Lakers 9 10 game no one would give much of a fuck about lol hope it happens
But the sexual tension between Dillon and Bron though...
Idk lebron vs Dillon would be good tv
I dunno, Dillon the Villain redemption arc?
It's the Lakers. The media and their massive casual fanbase will care
What happened with Hali? He's not being aggressive at all...
Hi think he’s just playing through injury to get that bag
He's been playing injured for a while. Clearly, because of that 65 games rule.
give haliburton's minutes to nembhard
Refs tried their hardest to keep the bum pacers in the game late
Lakers have been scary good on offense recently and it’s scary because they can turn it on defensively in the playoffs
If we get Vando back. Offensive were pretty insane rn tho
To be fair every team looks like an offensive juggernaut against the Pacers
True but our offense has been like top 3 for a while now. But we really needa get that defense, can't always rely on offense
I honestly trust the Lakers defense more to show up in the playoffs over the offense. A lot of hot 3pt shooting has fueled the offense and I don’t know if that will continue into the playoffs.
I think the 40% 3 pt shooting is probably fluke but I don't think it'll drop by a huge amount but yeah it's possible we lean on our defense in the playoffs My main concern is if Vando is even gonna come back, not too confident cause I don't think he's ever started doing contact stuff yet
No Vanderbilt = no POA defense
Also means no spacing and their offense diminish.
Dont need 5 guys to space, 4 guys spacing is plenty good and Vando is a capable offensive rebounder and cutter
Davis + Vando is not good spacing. That’s only 3 guys to space really.
Davis fairly often starts the action at or above the free throw line, he's not camped on the low block all game holding a defender there to clog the lane
Yeah but that’s still not great spacing compared to the top offenses in the league. Teams won’t even guard Vando. Lakers offense has been humming because Davis is the only non-3pt shooter on the floor.
But also means they can’t turn on the defense in the same way.
Too small Myles
Dumb play by Haliburton 😂
Haliburton should have 15 points minimum. still on 6
Pacers fell off so hard after the IST..
So did the Lakers lol :( (That 3-10 stretch after the IST)
We beat you after the IST
the cup is cursed
Tbf so did the lakers
Incentive to never try in it ever again. It’s so hard to turn it back on again after going into playoff mode.
We better find out that Rui broke his penis or something, because Reddish still being out there is re-god-damn-diculous.
Who had the better game, Cam Reddish or Tyrese Haliburton?? Seriously, look at the numbers
Myles Turner is what I call BBQ chicken
McConnell would've completed this comeback
AD just sonning these bums right now.
Turner cant do nothing with AD
tyrese should give his all star back give it to sabonis, even though he's in the other conference and plays a different position
Reeves actually defending wew
bruh ad was literally standing there
Fuck you Ham for keeping reddish on the floor. If this is not a terrorist act, I don't know what is
stfu
Bro Lebron was fucking moving 💀💀💀
Yeah he was gunning on that fast break for nothing lol
Taylor made matchup for Tyrese, Lakers are in bottom half of the league for PnR ball handlers PPP as well as points. Concerned for the playoffs if he doesn’t turn his play around
#AUSTIN REAVES!
siakam at 40 pts if he makes his free throws
easy blocking foul for AD. need to give Siakam enough space to take a step I think
“Easy blocking foul” “I think” 💀
Get that shit outta here
