All the Lakers do is hunt for fouls this is not basketball.

If and when the Grizz sit Ja they're gonna win this game easily. Lakers can't guard the varied attack in early offense

And Mike Brown is who they ended up with?

When your hiring search is asking 8 teams if you can interview their head coach that tends to happen. Knicks were so quick to fire Thibs. I really thought they would wait and evaluate things but it looked so reactionary. I know the man had issues with the bench but you need options before you fire the guy.

He was the one who got them to play with intensity. The Knicks look lost, like a team that just lost its dad. I don’t think they believe in Mike Brown.

Damn you're bringing back PTSD when the Lakers hired him. I remember everyone looking completely lost on offense for months until the stars said F it and took over.

Boggles my mind how much the talking heads were crying about this man getting 25m per.

Meanwhile, Quickley is getting 32m and no one bats an eye.

Yup. $25M/per for these numbers is a bargain.

We/Lakers can, just an off game team defense sucking balls right now.

the slow pace and lack of ball movement of Luka ball is not conductive to winning basketball. It allows the defense to rest and conserve their energy for the offensive end. the fact that he is a sieve on the defensive end doesn't help matters either.

Heliocentric ball is so hard to win with, the closest it came is with Harden in Houston.

Nico Harrison is a genius hiding in plain sight

Mem should trade Ja for Trae Young

Lakers in the bonus with 7min left in 3rd quarter LOL

Luka is a killer. Damn.

Ja brought the Lakers back in the game.

Watching Luka play is hard…just so much dribble dribble dribble. Then on defense he still isn’t even good.

Great player but I was hoping he’d developed into something else

3Luka!

Feels like Memphis is missing like 6 guys. I know they're missing Edey but who dribbles and playmakes on this team?

Mamba Mentality · Post #179 » by **Mamba Mentality** » Sat Nov 1, 2025 3:18 am

Spoke to highly of Ayton. Should have known this was coming.

I don't do other sports, but if Dodgers lose, that mean Lakers win right : )

Who wins?
