Lakers might be tired tomorrow vs Blazers, but in saying that Lakers won't just have Reaves this time.

Lakers win vs Blazers tomorrow, real test is vs Spurs.

Lakers looks so young out there

[Mavrelous]

Is Luka gonna play in the SEGABABA or nah?

If anyone deserves a rest, it's Reaves...

Wait until the old man comes back, man the Lakers look old is what everyone will be saying

Miami shot 36 fts tonight, 13 more than the Lakers. Since that’s such a hot topic for Laker games, let’s talk about it.

Atleast you know how we feel everytime there is a post about the Lakers ft differential.

[Fo-Real]

Bronny is for real

Huh? NVM.

[SlimShady83]

Some fans on youtube really saying Luka should shoot less? like really? Really?...

Luka man keep on shooting and you do you

[peZt]

TIL Austin Reaves is older than Doncic

[SlimShady83]

I just checked, Lakers play Blazers tomorrow which I knew, then 1 day off and then we play the Spurs

Meanwhile, Spurs don't play again until they play the Lakers, going to be well rested. See you soon Spurs.

76ers, Cavaliers, Knicks, Raptors, Lakers.

5/5 correct picks.

39-19 season results.

[Hsker4Life]

Booker had himself a night.

28 points, 13 assists on 66% shooting

Wish we could see the Suns team with Green and Brooks.

[Bad Bart]

The Lakers have LaRavia due to Zach Kleiman. Dude should still be in Memphis. ****' idiot.

I couldn't believe when they traded him to the Kings.

And we weren't sure Luka's game would translate against ''NBA defenders''.

Tbh Im still not sure how it does. Like he can usually just blow by his defender running at 20% speed like its nothing. He just jogs past them. It looks so easy that Im wondering how others can not blow by their defenders even when they accelerate at 100%. It looks soo easy with Doncic.

He has very effective handle. He has two dribbling modes, and I noticed this back in 2017 Eurobasket. When he just brings the ball down the court, he does a lot of ball protection with this body, which would imply his handle is not tight, but then he decides to just dribble around multiple defenders and he turns on completely different low dribble mode, and he can just dribble around multiple hands faced up with zero worries, he just never gets stripped and thats it. It is very very similar to Spanoulis it is almost exactly the same. What made Spanoulis so good, beside the fact he was one of the most clutch players in history, was the fact he could just get to any spot he wanted with zero speed and effort. Spanoulis was famously big idol of Doncic, and I think of all influences, Spanoulis' game is most noticeable in Doncic. Of course there is a lot of LeBron here, as Doncic himself said, and of course there is Harden. When Harden started doing step back 3, Luka copied it, he was not even 17 when he was doing it in Euroleague, Luka and Guduric were probably first two players in Europe doing step back 3, at least successfully. It was unguardable shot, and with Luka, you need to always worry about that, but if you get too close to him he just dribbles pass you, so there is no way of guarding him really unless you just decide to give him one or another (in this clip you can see Bam anticipating step back, he tries to take away all of the Lukas options and he just gets cooked). And unlike Spanoulis who was 6'4 average guard, Luka is also 6'7 and over 100 kilos, so when he gets to his spot near the rim, he is way too strong for most guys who try guarding him.

I was very surprised when they traded him, and I was told that they would not have extended his rookie option anyway, which I found weird, because he had some flashes and it was pretty damn cheap.
